Lan Yue and the mermen who had accompanied her were already halfway through their journey back to the East Sea.
The journey has been peaceful so far. The beastmen who had returned from Dragon Beast City were travelling together, and although they had to spend the nights in small tribes along the way, everything had gone smoothly.
However, just as the group crossed another stretch of forest, Bo Jian suddenly approached Lan Yue.
"Lan Yue, I feel like someone is following us."
Lan Yue was startled. She immediately turned to look behind them, but all she could see was the long line of beastmen walking along the road.
"Someone is following us? Are you sure?"
Bo Jian nodded, his expression tense.
"I noticed it earlier, but I wasn't certain. However, the feeling has become stronger now. Someone seems to be following our group from a distance."
