Cong Zhibo was just squatting under a stone pillar vomiting; we could still hear him retching a moment ago, but now he's gone.
Originally, the leader was a bit suspicious of Gangzi. Now that he's witnessed this unsettling scene himself, if someone harmed Cong Zhibo, then any of us could be suspect.
The leader asked if anyone noticed Cong Zhibo, and everyone exchanged bewildered looks.

This incident happened right before us, and the Stone Forest is more dangerous than the leader anticipated.
This time, he dared not let everyone spread out; one followed another, moving forward in single file.
Professor Liu wanted to search for Cong Zhibo, but the leader advised him against it. Splitting up now isn't wise.
If something happens to Professor Liu...
