Walker Of The Worlds

Now that Lin Mu had an idea of how to proceed, he acted on it. He followed the trail of the broken and knocked down trees and tried to find the site of the attack. He walked for quite a long distance and reached a relatively wide and open area that seemed to be natural.

There were no more broken trees here, so Lin Mu concluded that the site of the attack should have been nearby.

"Now I just need to look for a broken carriage," Lin Mu muttered to himself as his eyes looked around.

Since it was dark, Lin Mu was also using his spirit sense to scan the area. Still, even after searching for over fifteen minutes, Lin Mu did not find anything. It was as if the carriage had disappeared into the thin air.

"The carriage cannot be taken away by a beast, then that means… The culprits! They must have removed their traces later on." Lin Mu guessed.

"You should use your spirit sense to look under the snow, it's likely that the traces of the carriage and the tracks may be buried below the snow," Xukong suggested.

Lin Mu nodded his head as he looked below the snow. But his search seemed to have been for naught, as there did not seem to be any traces here either. Whoever the culprits were, they were smart enough to erase all traces.

At least that's what Lin Mu thought until he found something that was stuck in the trunk of a tree. What Lin Mu had found was a broken part of a wooden plan. It had broken off in a diagonal manner, and the sharp part was embedded in the trunk of a tree.

Lin Mu only found hits by chance as he was looking around. And he actually did not find this because of his spirit sense, but rather because of his own eyesight. The thing that had pulled Lin Mu's attention was actually the glint of the moonlight that had shined off of a small nail.

This nail was stuck into the broken plank that was then stuck in the trunk of a tree. Lin Mu thanked his luck as he pulled out the broken piece of the plank. He looked at the broken plan and saw its finish and size.

It was a properly cut and trimmed piece of wood, thus there was no doubt that it was a part of the carriage.

"Seems like they missed this piece. Now you just need to figure out which direction you're supposed to go." Xukong chimed in.
