A few minutes later during the search, Xiao Yin suddenly paused in her tracks.
The black serpent raised her head and flicked her tongue several times, tasting the air carefully. A strange expression appeared in her eyes as she turned toward the distance.
"I found something." Xiao Yin spoke.
Lin Mu immediately stopped and looked at her.
"What is it?" he asked.
Xiao Yin flicked her tongue again before slowly slithering forward.
"A scent." She replied. "It's very faint. I can't tell exactly what it is, but it's different from everything else down here."
Hearing that, Lin Mu's interest was piqued. The bottom of the ravine had appeared utterly barren thus far. Other than a few scattered shrubs and patches of moss clinging stubbornly to the rocks, there was little of note. Finding any clue at all was already a pleasant surprise.
