Soul Echo

Although they have reached the location of the map marker, this is only an 'approximate range'.

If Cyril's description is correct, and the memories of those businessmen are correct, Zhong Ye and the others 'should' be here.

In this day and age, a map with an error of no more than 500 meters is considered quite accurate.

Although Zhong Ye and the others had a map in their hands, they could only determine a general area, and they didn't know where the stronghold was.

So, a search covering the mountains and plains is required.

Although Zhong Ye knew that the vampires were escaping to the northeast, they didn't necessarily keep fleeing to the northeast, and they might change their routes on the way. Therefore, there are still traces left when looking for them to escape. necessary.

Centering on the position where the carriage was parked, Zhong Ye and the others divided into three groups and began to search for covering the mountains and plains.

They all have smoking pills on them, and as long as they find a suspected trace and confirm that the trace is related to vampire, they can signal others.

Compared with the other two groups, Zhong Ye moved very fast, but in just half an hour, he climbed over a mountain.

As a transcender of perception, his search speed is naturally fast. As long as anything appears in front of his eyes, he will subconsciously ignore it.

Although the search is covering the mountains and plains, it is not aimless.

Vampire can't be exposed to the sun, even Legendary-level vampire can't do this kind of thing, after all, in terms of power, Sun God is many times stronger than them.

So, they must find a place to hide, either a building or a cave.

And this stronghold of vampire, according to Cyril's description, should be a cave.

Therefore, they can skip the surface and go straight to the cave.

Since the vampires are going to run away, they may also blow up the cave before escaping, but this will make it easier for them to find them, but I don't know if the group of vampires will do this.

The search operation continued from the morning to the evening, Zhong Ye did not find the places where the vampires were hiding, nor did they find any traces left by them. When he was about to return to the carriage, he saw a plume of smoke Rising up from a distance.

He rushed over in a hurry and spent more than ten minutes, over a dozen mountains, and came to the place where the smoke column rose.

The people who lit the smoke column were Lily and Lillian, and a dark cave was not far from them.

Zhong Ye swept his eyes around the entrance of the cave, but did not find any trace, and turned towards Lilian and the others, "Have you seen it?"

There is no evidence around the entrance of the cave. It is the evidence of the vampire stronghold, then, the evidence must be in the cave.

"Yes, we went in to see it!" Lily said quickly, "The cave is collapsed."

Although I don't know if there is an earthquake or other nearby The cave collapsed, but their operation was to find the places where the vampire strongholds were suspected and the traces they left. As long as the suspected traces were found, they could signal others.

Lily is well aware of her and Lilian's abilities. Unlike Zhong Ye, they can find clues with no difficulty, so instead of wandering around here, it is better to inform Zhong Ye and Mei directly. Yell came over and asked them to help find it together.

There are more people and more power, even more how the two of them are far superior to ordinary people in terms of perception, and they must be much faster to find than her and Lillian.

Zhong Ye looked up at the sky, and there was already a hint of darkness on the horizon.

Because it was winter, the night came much earlier than the other three seasons. If night fell, it would greatly hinder their tracking.

Like Lily and Lillian, they are only suitable for action during the day, and once at night, if there is no light, they are almost the same as blind.

"I'll take a look first, and when Mayer Endridge arrives, you can tell him."

After saying that, Zhong Ye walked into the cave entrance. .

After walking into the cave, Zhong Ye found it surprisingly spacious.

Not only can he stand up straight, but he also has room above his head.

This made Zhong Ye feel very strange, and couldn't help but raise his head to look a few more times.

However, it was these few glances that made him see the problem - although there were no marks on the ground, there were some scratches on the top of the cave.

Zhong Ye just glanced at it and realized that these scratches were not naturally formed traces, but traces left after being scratched by something.

What happened? There are no marks on the ground, but there are scratches on the top of the cave?

Zhong Ye had some doubts in his heart, but instead of stopping to study the scratches, he continued to move forward, all the way to the end of the cave.

As Lily Lieber tells it, the inside of the cave has collapsed, and heavy dirt blocks the way ahead.

Zhong Ye inserted his hand into the mud wall and dug out some soil—even in this cold winter, the soil quality has several points of wet and soft to the touch.

That is to say, the distance from the cave to collapse is not very long.

Gathering the information, Zhong Ye turned around and left the cave. Before walking out of the cave, he deliberately looked at the scratches a few times.

The scratches are not continuous, but scattered and irregular.

When Zhong Ye walked out of the cave, he found that Mayer had arrived. It happened that he told them what he found in the cave.

After listening to Zhong Ye's remarks, the three of them were stunned for a moment.

"Scratches? Why are there scratches?" Mayer frowned.

When the cave collapses, other parts will definitely be affected, such as the falling of gravel from the top.

There are scratches, and there are a lot of them, which may mean that those scratches were left after the cave collapsed.

However, in contrast, no traces were left on the ground.

"Did you find anything over there?" Zhong Ye looked towards Mayer.

"Yes!"

Hearing Zhong Ye's question, Mayer immediately replied: "I may have found the whereabouts of vampire!"

Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows, "Where?"

"It's in the Northwest direction here."

hearing this, Zhong Ye took out the Compass and checked the direction.

Their location is to the west of the carriage's berth, Northwest here...

"Paris?" Lily's heart skipped a beat.

She had checked the map before, Auxerre was located in the south-east direction of Paris. If the vampire were to flee to the Northwest, their destination might be Paris?

Zhong Ye frowned, Spiritual God is impossible to deceive him, deceiving him in this kind of thing doesn't make any sense, but it will cause harm to the civilized society of the Western Continent.

In other words, the traces Mayer found may have been deliberately left by those vampires!

"...This may be deliberately left by vampire to mislead us."

Zhong Ye pointed to the cave behind him, "If this cave is really the stronghold of vampire, then, They didn't leave traces on the ground, but left traces elsewhere, isn't it very suspicious?"

After hearing this, Mayer also began to doubt his guess.

In addition to this cave, they did not find other places where vampire may hide. In such a large area, this cave may be the only place where vampire can hide, and there are various places in the cave. The signs are also quite suspicious.

"So, the traces you found can only be used as a temporary plan. If we really can't find other traces, we can start with the traces you found." After that, Zhong Ye said again. Pointing to the cave, "Right now, I think we'd better start with the scratches on the top of the cave - since they don't leave marks on the ground, could they never walk over the ground at all?"

"How to escape without walking on the ground?" Lily asked.

The vampire of this world will not become a bat, and naturally it is impossible to fly.

"Crawling!"

Zhong Ye looked up at the surrounding branches, "I think they may have climbed out from the top of the cave, and then jumped between the branches to This escaped this place!"
