The height wasn't much of a challenge for Su Qing, especially with the scattered plants and trees on the cliff face. Aided by the trees and climbing vines, she reached the withered tree in just a few moves. After reinforcing the dead wood with more vines, she straddled it and picked the Lingzhi.
Although this Lingzhi wasn't quite a hundred years old, it was close. Su Qing stored the Lingzhi in her space and was about to head down when she heard loud shouts in the distance, accompanied by several gunshots.
Hearing the shouts and gunshots, Su Qing couldn't help but feel surprised. Her location was already deep in the heart of Da Hu Mountain, a place that was practically uninhabited. She never expected there to be anyone else here besides her. 'And they're in a gunfight!'
Su Qing immediately decided not to rush down. Instead, she remained seated on the withered tree, gazing in the direction of the sounds.
