At first, she had considered transforming into a minimized form and attaching herself to Brother Mu, but Brother Mu didn't mention it, and she didn't dare to bring it up either.

After all, she was the one who dragged the team down.

However, if she knew that Mu Qingyun didn't just not want to mention it, but simply didn't know that orcs had this ability, she might have died on the spot from vomiting blood.

Before he vomits blood and dies, he wants to travel back in time and slap his past self who didn't mention it!

Butterfly Dance flapped her wings and lunged forward, instantly transforming her graceful young body into a colorful little butterfly.

With her beautiful wings fluttering rapidly, she flew to Mu Qingyun's shoulder and landed, her little claws gripping the somewhat rough fabric tightly.

Seeing this, Fan Xuan Ye closed his eyes, and after only a short time in human form, he transformed back into a small snake and crawled towards Mu Qing Yun.

When Mu Qingyun saw him coming, she squatted down, reached out her hand to guide him up, and let him climb onto her wrist.

Seeing the two people's changed forms, Xiong Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, and could only give Mu Qingyun an awkward smile, "Um, well, I can't turn into a very small form. At most, I can only turn into a young bear."

As she spoke, she deliberately changed the shape, making it a small bear, but still quite large, so it really couldn't fit on her.

"How about I just follow you like this?" Xiong Ruoyou transformed back into a human and said shyly in a low voice.

"Okay." Mu Qingyun nodded in agreement.

It didn't really matter, but what she was mainly thinking about was Butterfly Dance. She had always relied on it for flight, and she figured that a butterfly's ability to walk must be relatively weak.

As she set off again, Kazel stood beside her, and Xiong Ruoyou stood beside her.

On the surface, it seems that their large group has suddenly dwindled in size.

"We can't outrun those two rabbits, but the raw stones won't be easy to get. Let's take it slow."

Mu Qingyun talked as she walked, occasionally glancing down at the compass to see if it was moving.

"Okay," Kazel replied.

The three of them traveled and stopped, and another day and night passed. When they rested, Diewu and Fan Xuanye would turn back into their original forms for a while.

However, due to being in a shrunken, beast-like state for an extended period, Fan Xuanye entered a dormant period.

Looking at the small black snake curled up in a ball and motionless, Mu Qingyun stared for a long time before reaching out and poking its black scales.

How long will it need to hibernate?

"About a few months? I don't know, I'm not clear about their snake situation either." Kazel shook his head and turned his gaze to Xiong Ruoyou.

As expected, Xiong Ruoyou shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

Reaching out to scoop up the limp Fan Xuanye, Mu Qingyun frowned in confusion. Snakes don't only hibernate in winter.

This weather doesn't seem like the kind of weather we should be in for hibernation.

"What if we find the exit but he's still not awake?" Mu Qingyun was somewhat worried about this issue.

If the military academy says that Fan Xuanye has violated regulations and does not allow him to enter the academy, then her crime would be very serious.

"It should be fine, right? He must know he'll go into hibernation, and if he can't control the timing, he'll definitely tell us in advance." Xiong Ruoyou had complete trust in Fan Xuanye.

After spending these past few months together, she found that she felt really safe with Fan Xuanye.

He is the kind of person who is very thoughtful and far-sighted. Before doing something, he will think through all the certainties of that thing.

Anyway, you can't go wrong by following him.

Hearing her say that, Mu Qingyun didn't ask any more questions.

"Whoosh—"

Suddenly, the butterfly perched on Mu Qingyun's shoulder flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

Not knowing what she was going to do, Mu Qingyun looked up at Diewu and asked, "What's wrong?"

The butterfly dance transformed into a butterfly, unable to speak, and flew into the sky to stop, hovering back and forth on a horizontal line.

A short while later, a flock of geese migrating south flew towards us.

The butterflies fluttered their wings, blocking their way.

The geese seemed surprised to be blocked by a butterfly. The lead goose stopped, turned around, and called out a few times.

The geese behind them immediately formed a new triangle, flew around it, and flew forward.

The butterfly and the wild goose exchanged some information in the air before the butterfly thanked the goose and moved aside to make way for it.

The geese seemed unconcerned, giving a brief call in response before flapping their wings and catching up with the main flock ahead.

Butterfly slowly descended, and only after landing on the ground did she flutter her wings and transform back into human form.

"Their migration direction is towards the exit." Butterfly Dance pointed to the flock of geese that were still flying and said, "They are only the first batch of geese to migrate from here. There will be three more batches, and they will all migrate south within a week."

exit?

Mu Qingyun looked up at the wild geese flying away and said, "Logically speaking, wild geese shouldn't be able to fly into this area."

"They were driven in by someone." Butterfly Dance told them everything she had just asked. "They were originally going to go around this area, but someone forcibly drove them in, so they entered here."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun lowered her eyes, a thoughtful look in them.

I understand. This is the last chance the military academy is giving to those who didn't understand the clues.

If you obtain the raw stone now and understand the principles of wild goose migration, you can also leave as long as you can keep up with the geese.

However, keeping up with the speed of geese is no easy task.

"I noticed them just now, so I rushed over and asked them." Butterfly Dance smiled. She had been hesitant, unsure whether the geese were virtual creatures or ordinary geese.

But she thought that if they were virtual creatures, she could just avoid them; if they were real geese, she could get some clues from them.

Surprisingly, her gamble paid off.

Mu Qingyun nodded knowingly. Unless the exit was very close to where they were, the wild geese would never be able to keep up with their speed.

If Butterfly Dance brings someone with her, it's very likely she'll leave with them.

"When the geese fly back next time, Butterfly Dance, take Xiao You with you and leave together." After a moment's thought, Mu Qingyun said without any room for argument.

These two should leave as soon as possible.

“Brother Mu…” Xiong Ruoyou frowned. She understood what Brother Mu meant. She began to regret why she loved to play so much when she was a child.

Mingming, her father, uncle, and second uncle all have exceptional talent, but when she was little, all she knew was to sneak out and play with others instead of cultivating properly.

Now look what's happened. Because her foundation wasn't solid when she was young, even if she wanted to cultivate now, she couldn't reach the same level as Brother Mu and the others.

Thinking about it, Dad was right; she shouldn't have messed around and come to the military academy for the trial.

If she hadn't come, Brother Mu would have already gathered all the raw stones and might have been able to leave with Dayan just now.

"Okay." Butterfly Dance didn't have any particular thoughts. Brother Mu told her to take the people and leave first, so she went.
