It wasn't easy to traverse the mountains and forests. After two days of hiking in the wilderness, they reached a narrow wind gap on the eastern slope. At this point, there was only a natural stone bridge over three meters long that could be crossed, with a deep trench over twenty meters below.
For the two who were used to long walks in the wilderness, crossing the stone bridge posed no difficulty, provided there were no distractions around.
Chen Ying was the first to step onto the stone bridge, but after two steps, he suddenly stopped, made a gesture, and slowly retreated.
The companion behind him made room, watching the surroundings warily.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a fresh rock antelope calf carcass up ahead that's not completely eaten."
"...Does this mean there's a predator nearby? What do you think it is, a lynx or a brown bear?"
