It didn't take long for Yuan Lei to notice something . He signaled for Mei Chao Bing to come over and then motioned at a few traces that were left in the sand .

Mei Chao Bing raised his brows . "These should be rather fresh?"

Yuan Lei shook his head . "You might think so at first but look at where they are: The spot is protected from three sides and the top . It would take a long time to make them disappear completely . Judging from the slight fading at the edges, I'd say they have been here for at least a week . "

Mei Chao Bing pondered . "A week …" He turned to where Liu Bao Ru was working and waved for her to come over .

She lightly patted her junior martial sister's arm and the two of them came over . Yuan Lei almost wanted to heave a sigh of relief . It seemed he also wouldn't have to worry about this person .

Liu Bao Ru gave him a look as if she had noticed his gaze but she didn't say anything and turned to Mei Chao Bing . "What might be the matter, senior martial brother Mei?"

"Yuan Lei and Yi Ju found traces that they assume to have been left behind at least a week ago . Can you remember when you came here?"

Liu Bao Ru pondered . The area was quite a bit away from the town so it should have taken them a while . Then again, they hadn't acted like Gongsun Chen's group that searched the area closest to the town completely before the moved forward . Instead, they had chosen a strip of the area, left the town for that part and then investigated it from the closest part to the one that was the furthest away . In the following days, they would move to another strip and do the same . As for this one … "We should have been here about one and a half weeks ago . "

Mei Chao Bing glanced at Yuan Lei who nodded in return .

"Yes, that could fit . Can you remember this spot?" He motioned at the place with the traces .

Liu Bao Ru tilted her head and took a moment to observe the spot . It looked a little like a bench or maybe a chest of some kind that was open on one side . "No, I don't think so . " The truth was that their group leader hadn't let her do much on account of the dangers despite her martial arts being the second-highest in their group so it was unlikely that she would have gotten into contact with anything suspicious .

Yuan Lei looked back at the thing, leaned down and reached in, trying to figure out what the person had been doing . It seemed like they had also just grabbed inside and randomly touched to see if there was anything inside .

Mei Chao Bing narrowed his eyes . "Try the upper side . "

Yuan Lei glanced at him but then turned his hand and touched the surface of the upper part . There were some faint lines engraved with some of them reaching deeper than others but he couldn't make out if there was any deeper meaning to them .

He pulled back his hand and turned to Mei Chao Bing . "There is something . Some lines, maybe a pattern . I can't say for sure . " He looked at the thing with furrowed brows . The opening was almost as big as a human head but only almost . There was no way he'd be able to take a look . At a place of demonic practitioners, that was likely intentional .

Mei Chao Bing also pondered . In the end, he crouched down and reached in himself, trying to feel the lines and see if he could figure something out . Unfortunately, he also came up with nothing .

"Maybe we could try to paint what we feel?" Yuan Lei didn't look too convinced himself but it was the best he could come up with .

Mei Chao Bing nodded . "That seems to be the only way . " He got up and took out his map, turning it around so they could use the back when he noticed Yun Bei Fen's gaze . "Is something the matter, Fen'er?"

"Uh …" Yun Bei Fen looked from Mei Chao Bing and the map to the thing on the ground and then back again . "Well, couldn't we … use something shiny?"

Mei Chao Bing raised his brows . "Shiny? Like how?" He really couldn't imagine what his little bunny was talking about .

Yun Bei Fen pursed his lips, looking a bit uncomfortable . "Well, you take anything shiny and then you hold it around the corner and tilt it . After that, when you look at the shiny thing, you can see what happens on the other side . I think it's not really important what kind of thing it is but the shinier it is, the better . "

Mei Chao Bing stared at him in a daze . Just how had his little bunny come up with this?

Being subjected to that gaze, Yun Bei Fen felt that he hadn't done a good job . He looked around and finally, his gaze lit up . He took out his sword, pulled it out of the sheath, and then poked it into the sand in the opening . "Just like this!" Then he proceeded to turn the sword a bit in all directions while leaning over it .

Mei Chao Bing shook himself out of his thoughts and also looked at the sword . Indeed . He could see the underside of the thing reflected in the blade . As for what it was … He furrowed his brows and then looked at Yuan Lei . "It could be a mural of sorts? Although that is strange in this kind of …" He looked at the bench-shaped thing with some doubt . Why would the demonic practitioners do something like this?

Yuan Lei nodded though . "It looks indeed a bit like one . Or maybe it's a part of a bigger one since the surface is so small . May I?" He turned to Yun Bei Fen and held out his hand .

Yun Bei Fen tensed and hugged the sword to his chest .

Mei Chao Bing sighed . "The sword isn't the best object to use considering the length . I suppose nobody brought a bronze mirror with them?"

Yi Ju sheepishly raised her hand . "I … I may have . "

Mei Chao Bing looked at her in a daze . This girl … She was almost on the same level as Yun Bei Fen in regard to the surprises she could bring .
