The same night Qiao Xixi and the others returned to their tribe, Jin Ling's group also reached Tiger Beast City.
However, to avoid being discovered, they didn't enter the city immediately.
At Jin Ling's direction, a male from the Phoenix Wing Clan led them to a mountain outside Tiger Beast City to make camp.
"There's a cave up ahead. Let's rest there for the night."
Xijing nodded and followed Jin Ling to a relatively hidden cave.
The Phoenix Wing Clan male kept watch from a tree outside the cave.
With Qiao Xixi absent, they had no need to start a fire.
After making sure the cave was safe, the two headed into the forest to hunt.
At night, the mountain forest was filled with predators on the hunt. They hadn't gone far when Jin Ling caught the scent of a Long-haired Humming Beast.
"It's over there."
Xijing followed the scent in pursuit. As he drew near, he heard faint cries for help from just ahead.
