Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

Meanwhile, Rocky and Vivian led the two Spiritual Emperors and the rest of the members of the joint team to try to catch up with Valeria and the others. But soon, they realized that Valeria and the others were too far ahead and that they had left no marks behind. Obviously, there was something wrong.

"It's strange. They retreated to the west. Why haven't we caught up with them yet?" Vivian asked, looking around her suspiciously.

"I think the performer might have adjusted the illusionary array temporarily and changed all the paths in the valley, deliberately cutting off the connection between us and Valeria..." Rocky guessed, scratching his chin.

Meanwhile, after searching the area for about half an hour, Rocky finally found the core of the magnetic field and managed to break the illusionary trick. Now he could see the valley as the way it really was. Rocky continued heading east as he tried to find traces left by Valeria and the joint guard team members. That was when he saw huge footprints of some wild beast. He soon recognized it as he remembered seeing this kind of beast with the team of the Primitive Fief. The weird part was that judging from the footprints, the team was obviously heading west instead of east. He stood there for a while and had a rough idea about what was really going on. He then went back to Vivian. "I know where Valeria and the others are, and I know who were behind the ambush," he said.
