Princess Rutherford Chloe looked back, and at a glance, she saw tired faces.

Among them are humans, elves, angels, and individual elementals among the elemental creatures.

The worry in her eyes would not fade away. After a second's pause, she agreed, "Okay, let's wait here for one night."

Jian Jiahe received the signal from the Second Master, turned around and walked towards the crowd, giving the order to "rest where you are".

However, even when resting, one must not relax vigilance in the slightest. On the contrary, one must strengthen vigilance.

He himself did not rest, but continued to explore and guard with his men.

Time passed silently, and night gradually fell.

The night breeze was blowing gently, and everyone's long-tension minds became drowsy because of this brief peace and the cool evening breeze.

Jian Jiahe and his men just came back from patrolling on the left side.

Suddenly, a light breeze blew across his temples, bringing with it a rustling sound of wind and leaves.

Jian Jiahe sniffed lightly, and a faint fragrance entered his nose.

For a moment, he paused, looked sideways in the direction of the wind, and sniffed the air vigorously.

There was no fragrance in the air.

Jian Jiahe frowned slightly. He did smell a hint of fragrance just now. Could it be an illusion?

No, it couldn't be an illusion. Although the fragrance was only there for a moment and was very faint, he was sure that he had definitely smelled the fragrance just now.

But now... Jian Jiahe closed his eyes and sniffed carefully again. Apart from the slight smell of decay and corruption in the air, he could not smell any other smell.

After thinking for only a second, he walked in the direction of the wind.

The other three people saw his strange behavior, their expressions instantly became stern, and their vigilant eyes swept around.

Especially since Jian Jiahe was walking towards the bamboo forest at this moment,

The shadows of the bamboos overlap, and under the full moon, they are reflected on the ground or on other bamboo forests.

Jian Jiahe walked about a hundred steps into the bamboo forest and stopped. He looked around and saw nothing unusual except the reflections of the bamboo.

He stood there for three full seconds before turning around and walking back.

As he turned around, his peripheral vision quickly passed by the reflection of the bamboo on the ground.

In an instant, the hairs all over my body stood up, and a huge wave of emotion surged in my heart.

There is something under the bamboo shadow!

In just a short while, Jian Jiahe felt that his back was soaked and beads of sweat oozed out of his palms.

However, even though his heart was already surging with turmoil, he remained alert and composed on the surface.

"Brother Jiahe, how is it?" Seeing this, one of the three people took a step forward and asked in a low voice.

Jian Jiahe's expression remained normal, and even his tone of voice remained unchanged. "It's okay. Maybe I've been too nervous these days and misheard the rumors!"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. The younger boy patted his chest and said exaggeratedly, "Brother Jiahe, you almost scared me just now!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at them nervously and anxiously, he immediately spoke to comfort them, "Don't worry, everyone. We've checked and everything is normal!"

Jian Jiahe's upper body was hidden in the darkness, which perfectly concealed the fleeting worry in his eyes. "I know everyone is very tired now, but those who take turns to keep watch still need to be extremely alert and stay vigilant, understand?"

Seeing that everyone had taken his words to heart, he gave a serious reminder before leaving, "Although we haven't detected any danger yet, we are still deep in the wilderness. Danger is everywhere. Unless necessary, you must not leave the team alone, and you must not leave everyone's sight.

Of course, even if multiple people leave the team, I still don't agree.

Moreover, the total number of you all is not small, and we may not be able to take care of every one of you. Those of you who are familiar with each other can take good care of each other."

Although everyone still looked a little scared, they still took his words to heart and responded in unison, "Yes."

Jian Jiahe nodded and raised his chin towards the other three, motioning them to follow. Next, they had to inspect the next location.

Just as he took three steps, the evening breeze caressed his cheek again, bringing with it a faint and familiar fragrance.

Jian Jiahe did not stop this time.

However, in the blind spot where no one noticed, the back of his hands were already soaked with sweat.
