Gu Youyou had been leading them through the mountains for five days now, and luckily, she had a good knowledge of plants. Plus, the season was such that many fruits could be found, so they hadn't gone hungry.
But now, they had wandered into a primeval forest and seemed to have lost their way, turning twice only to end up back where they started.
Gui Yunxi was getting anxious and said, "We can't even tell directions in this forest. Where should we go? It seems we just passed here not long ago."
Gu Youyou also recognized the problem. Escaping was important, but as most of the group were women with limited physical strength, they could not afford to waste their energy like this.
The trees here were dense and tall, and during this season, when the branches and leaves were lush, it was difficult for sunlight to penetrate.
After looking around for a while, Youyou pointed in a direction and said, "Let's go this way."
Searcy reminded her, "We just came from that direction."
