The drone flew out, conducting reconnaissance along the way as it crossed the river. Once it reached the opposite bank, it continued moving forward until it was at the edge of signal transmission, forcing Lu Xi'an to disembark with Gou and proceed on foot.
Upon reaching the riverbank, they could finally direct the drone to scout over the hill.
Afterwards, Gou's eyes lighted up, confirming that there was no issue there as well.
This seemed to indicate that everything Chai Xin said was true, and she indeed hadn't colluded with someone in the dark.
So, Lu Xi'an continued to move forward, crossing the river and heading towards the hill.
On approach, he saw the hill covered in thick weeds, with no sign of any lair.
Lu Xi'an had no choice but to send out Gou again.
When they reached the southern side of the hill, Gou's eyes brightened, shining onto a slope on the hill.
