"Senior Brother, is this the shortcut you mentioned?"
Looking at the densely packed gray wolves in the forest, Bian Chuyao couldn't help but smile wryly and asked Gu Yuan beside her.
She felt she had been deceived.
Earlier, Gu Yuan's proficient "kill and burn" operation had shocked her, and she unconsciously followed him onto this so-called "shortcut."
But as they walked, she realized that this path was fraught with dangers, no easier than the route she had planned to Cloud Mist Valley. Most importantly, the route had diverged.
This path was leading them further away from Cloud Mist Valley.
The winding stone steps seemed to lead to another hidden place.
What shortcut, it was just Gu Yuan's nonsense; he must have other motives.
"No worries, all roads lead to the same destination. As long as we move forward, we'll reach Cloud Mist Valley sooner or later."
Seeing this, Gu Yuan just chuckled lightly.
