So, Ma Linghua searched for navigation, and the three of them changed direction and followed the navigation.
Under the cover of night, the three of them used the Ma family's Shadowless Movement Technique, their figures moving like ghosts through the mountains and forests.
Their original goal was to go to Yunnan, but as time went by, a strange feeling gradually welled up in their hearts.
At first, it was just some subtle differences that made people feel something was off.
The surrounding trees seemed to grow denser, and the path more winding, as if the forest was deliberately hindering their progress.
But they didn't pay too much attention to it, since it's normal to make some mistakes when traveling through complex terrain.
However, this feeling of unease grew stronger.
They followed the predetermined route, but the surrounding scenery became increasingly unfamiliar.
The road to Yunnan, which should have gradually become clearer, was now shrouded in a fog, making it difficult for them to discern their direction.
"Please turn right, then turn left 500 meters ahead, and continue straight for 1000 meters..."
The night was as dark as ink, and the dim moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating eerie patches of light and shadow.
The three of them began to hesitate, and a sense of unease crept into their hearts.
"Mom, is your navigation system working properly?" Ma Hehua couldn't help but ask.
Ma Linghua glanced at it and said with certainty, "How could there be a problem! Your dad taught me this, so you can't go wrong by listening to it."
Ma Lihua: "…………………………"
Although she shouldn't have questioned her grandfather, but... was her grandmother really not wrong?
The three looked at each other, their eyes revealing the same confusion.
Ma Linghua stopped and carefully observed her surroundings. With a furrowed brow, she said, "This road doesn't seem right. Have we gone the wrong way?"
Ma Hehua chimed in, "Indeed, it feels like we're straying further and further from our original route. But we've been following the navigation using the Shadow Tracking Technique, so how could this be?"
Ma Linghua's expression was grave. She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm: "Don't panic. Let me think back to the route carefully and see if there's anything I've overlooked. This Shadow Tracking Technique is always accurate; there's no reason it would lead us in the wrong direction."
Ma Lihua: "…………………………"
Is it a matter of cultivation techniques? This is clearly a navigation error!
So the three of them closed their eyes and stood in the forest, unsure whether to use navigation.
However, no matter how they navigated, it indicated that there were no errors.
"Could there be something strange about this place?" Ma Lihua asked, raising her doubts.
“It’s possible. The Ma family’s Shadowless Movement Technique has never failed. There must be some reason we haven’t discovered yet,” Ma Linghua said in a low voice while cautiously observing her surroundings.
At this moment, an eerie silence permeated the mountain forest, with only their light footsteps and breathing echoing in the air.
A gentle breeze blew by, rustling the leaves as if they were whispering some secret.
They continued on their way, their suspicions growing stronger.
The three of them struggled through the dim woods, the withered branches and leaves under their feet creaking and crunching, as if telling the story of the forest's mystery and eeriness.
The night was as dark as thick ink, shrouding everything in darkness, with only the faint moonlight occasionally filtering through the gaps in the leaves, bringing them a faint glimmer of light.
"Sigh, it looks like I won't be able to get out tonight," Ma Hehua said, panting heavily, her voice filled with exhaustion and helplessness.
"Let's find a place to rest first. Traveling in the dark like this isn't a solution," Ma Linghua replied, her voice also revealing weariness.
Their eyes scanned their surroundings, hoping to find a place to temporarily shelter. Just then, Ma Lihua suddenly pointed to the mountain wall not far away and shouted, "Look, there seems to be a cave over there!"
The three immediately ran in that direction, a glimmer of hope rising in their hearts. Upon arriving at the cave, they carefully observed it, and only after confirming there was no danger did they cautiously enter.
The cave was filled with a damp smell, and there were some pebbles and withered grass on the ground.
Water droplets clung to the cave walls, dripping down in a clear, rhythmic sound that echoed through the silent cave.
"Let's just stay here for the night and set off again at dawn," Ma Linghua said.
The two nodded and got to work.
Ma Hehua gathered some dry branches, and Ma Linghua tried to start a fire to dispel the cold and dampness inside the cave.
Ma Lihua laid dry grass in the corner of the cave to make the resting place as comfortable as possible.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
This time, the flint ignited immediately, without Ma Linghua having to say a word.
Once the fire was lit, the flickering flames illuminated their faces, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold cave.
The three sat around the fire in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
At that moment, several voices rang out from outside the cave.
"I don't know if I'll be able to find the right way tomorrow."
"Whatever, I'll just make do in this cave for the night!"
"Are there any wild animals in this cave?"
"Don't think too much about it. Get some rest and recharge. There'll always be a way," the leading man comforted her.
However, despite their attempts to relax, the unease they felt in this unfamiliar and mysterious environment persisted.
The rustling of leaves in the wind and the calls of unknown animals could be heard from outside the cave, keeping their nerves constantly on edge.
