“If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know when I’ll be able to find him again. If he runs out of Qingyun Province, it’ll be near impossible for me to avenge Yang’er!
“Two days has already passed. There’s only one day left. I’ve got to catch up with him tomorrow no matter what!”
The next day, which was also the last day of the time limit for the tracking, Zhang Zhenshan even gave up rest to chase at full speed with all his might nonstop.
In the afternoon, when there was only less than half a day left until the deadline of the tracking, Zhang Zhenshan’s expression became more anxious. There was already even a tinge of despair on his face: “Could it be… I really can’t catch up with him?”
Right at this moment, the tracking gray rat on his shoulder suddenly began to cry in a low tone. Noticing its unusual behavior, Zhang Zhenshan hurriedly stopped and looked at it in a slightly nervous manner.
The little animal sniffed its nose cautiously, let out two cries again and waved its claws gently, seeming to be somewhat excited.
“We’re getting close?! I’ve finally come near that man!!” Seeing the little animal’s behavior, Zhang Zhenshan could not help shouting in pleasant surprise.
Putting the little animal back on his shoulder, he galloped forwards again.
An hour later, when he was climbing over a small mountain, the gray rat suddenly raised the pitch of its cries a lot, appearing especially excited. Zhang Zhenshan was delighted inside. He looked down the mountain carefully and saw that on a meadow at the foot of the mountain, a silhouette of a person was running towards a forest up ahead.
That person seemed to be a young man. At the moment, even though he was not running at high speed, he was definitely not running slowly either.
As Zhang Zhenshan looked at this silhouette, his entire body began to trembled slightly, his expression was almost distorted and endless hatred and fury erupted from his eyes.
“It’s him! It’s definitely him! Finally, you’ve let me catch up with you! I won’t let you get away. Now pay for the death of my son with your life!!”
… … … …
That night, after discovering that the enemy might be tracking him, Bai Yunfei ran quickly for two whole days. Except for when he had to stop to take a rest, he did not stop at all!
Moreover, he did not know if this was a psychological effect or not, but when he sniffed at his right hand again after a period of time, he unexpectedly vaguely noticed that strange odor. This discovery made him worried even more in his mind. Almost every time he stopped, he would scrub his hands nonstop for over ten minutes, as if this was the only way that could make him feel a bit more at ease…
Two days later, he finally could no longer endure running at high speed day and night. After having a good rest for half a night, he slowed down while continuing to go forwards.
It must be said that thanks to using the Wave Treading Steps unceasingly for two days and nights, his mastery of this soul technique had improved at an unimaginable rate. If he had practiced this technique as usual, even though he was not lazy at all, it would have taken him at least ten days to reach his current level of proficiency with the Wave Treading Steps.
At noon, right after climbing over a mountain, he ate some food then went forwards in this rather large meadow. There was a forest not far up ahead. Bai Yunfei intended to go through this forest to see if he could find a populated place.
Looking at this seemingly endless area of grass and trees in front of him, Bai Yunfei almost felt like crying and murmured:
“This is really… Where am I actually at now?”
