Guding arrived near the Demon Tree on the second day, and Hake silently appeared in the surrounding area.
In just a moment, Hake found the traces left by Guding, and the two gathered together.
"Haven't the others arrived yet?" Hake didn't expect himself to be the second one.
"No, recently there's been unusual movements of exotic beasts and tribes in this forest, which probably affected their journey to some extent," Guding roughly guessed the reason.
"I also discovered something on my way here," Hake transmitted back. "There are some natives in this area executing a surround strategy, possibly to prevent others from coming in. I just circumvented half a circle to come in through an unmanned area."
