Jumping down from Bubu Wang's back, Su Xiao walked to the pile of ashes. The ashes were already cold, indicating they were left long ago.
Scattered bones lay beside the ashes. The answer was obvious: intelligent creatures were active nearby.
Picking up a broken bone from the ground, Su Xiao noticed a row of tooth marks on it. These marks came from flat-toothed creatures with strong biting force, capable of breaking bones to suck the marrow within.
Knowing how to make fire and cook food, the tooth marks on the bones indicated they were created by different creatures, suggesting they might live in groups.
Su Xiao hesitated, wondering whether he should track these creatures. They might have food and clean fresh water.
Just as Su Xiao was pondering, a short, sharp scream echoed from the distant valley.
The scream abruptly stopped, indicating the person who screamed had likely perished.
"Bubu, follow them."
