He Kao left his phone in the room to charge, then went to the Gu Mountain Secret Mansion to prepare some items before traveling through space to Maoluo Country, appearing near the river valley again.
He cautiously did not approach the valley but found a high vantage point and observed with infrared binoculars, noticing the camp of Zeng Hongye and his foreign disciple Xiaosi still there.
Actually, not much time had passed. He Kao discovered the two in the afternoon, then called Qian Guran, waited for Qian Guran to return his call, and recently contacted Second Uncle... all of this happened this afternoon.
Now it was just past dinner time, but the sky darkened early in the North, and the light in the mountains was dim, with the temperature dropping quickly. If someone didn't return to the camp in time, a prolonged stay outside might result in being frozen by the cold wind.
