Resigned, he left the second floor. Before heading out, he went to find Ma San and the others, who were making breakfast.
"Still no activity in the mountains?" Cheng Zongyang asked.
"Reporting to you, Sir, no." Luo Zheng responded, "I went into the mountains again yesterday afternoon to check. Aside from some new footprints, that creature didn't enter the cave. It must have realized we've been inside, and it probably also detected the different scents on the ground. Its sense of smell is very keen. It's likely abandoned the cave."
Cheng Zongyang nodded and didn't say much more.
The trap hadn't been triggered once in six days, so he already knew the creature, which he suspected was a lynx, must have found out.
Feline creatures were extremely vigilant; he hadn't held out much hope anyway.
"It's fine. Just leave it. What if another animal goes in…"
"ROAR!!"
