The eleven-member scout team set out from Sheng Family Manor to Shiqu Village. Although the distance wasn't far, the scouts' cautious nature slowed their progress.
It was precisely because of their caution that Yuan Bao had ample time to slip out of her own yard.
In fact, the scouts deserve no blame for their cautiousness.
In a village that should have been deserted, a column of smoke suddenly appeared, but that wasn't all—a rather foreboding eagle was seen circling overhead.
Eagles!
These birds can be trained.
A trained eagle can do more than just hunt for its master; it can also deliver messages and even scout enemy positions.
Due to their fear of You Cang, the scout team's mobilization slowed down even further.
Once Yuan Bao managed to sneak out of her yard and hide in the farmland ditch behind the village, You Cang let out a sharp cry and then disappeared into the sky in an instant.
It was only after You Cang flew away that the scout team quickened their pace.
