Guding didn't ask the clan elder many questions because on the way to the gathering point, Everly had already told him a lot about this forest.
Everly also knew that the clan elder's life span was nearing its end, so the conversation with Guding was as brief as possible, with many things explained to him in advance.
After leaving the elder's room, Guding found Everly again to ask for some supplementary information. He then set off toward the location of the Demon Tree according to the route indicated on the map.
The first day's journey was smooth because the map also marked safe areas. Guding didn't encounter any plant that attacked him along the way.
However, early on the second day, Guding's progress took him beyond the safe area on the map. After all, Everly's tribe was only a small one with limited exploration capabilities.
