At first, the three of them carefully searched the surrounding area of several kilometers with the snowy nest as the center, but unfortunately, they couldn't find the figure of Tiger Boy and Little Qi at all.

Under these circumstances, Hunter Dazhang proposed to expand the search circle.

He expanded the range of his search from three to five miles away.

Regarding this, Old Chen naturally agreed happily.

From his point of view, even if Tiger Boy loved to move, he wouldn't be able to run so far in such a short amount of time, right? However, reality slapped Old Chen hard on the face. The three searched from noon until nightfall, but they were unable to find even the slightest trace of Tiger Boy and Little Qi.

Senior Chen felt increasingly uneasy.

Even his spirit had gone into a trance.

In the end, he would even jump up like a rabbit whenever there was any movement. Seeing the look on Old Chen's face, the hunter became even more anxious, knowing that he could not do anything at this rate.

Therefore, Dazhang went behind Old Chen's back to discuss a new plan with Xu Pingzi. After much discussion, the two finally decided to let Xu Linzi bring enough dry rations and water back to Chen family Dam. They gathered more people and came to Weeping Ghost Cliff to look for Tiger Boy and Little Qi.

As for himself, he stayed there and continued to accompany Old Chen in his search of the whereabouts of Tiger Boy and Little Qi. Actually, Xu Linzi didn't quite agree with this plan proposed by the hunter.

It was snowing heavily on top of the mountains, and the roads were covered in snow. In addition, many large animals would come out in the dead of winter to look for food, so it was extremely dangerous to go forward or back.

Although Xu Linzi didn't agree with Dazhang's plan, he knew that Dazhang's proposal was the best way to go about things at the moment. After a brief moment of hesitation, he agreed and left with the water and rations.

"What happened then?" If Xu Linzi traveled alone, would he encounter any danger? Did he finally get back safely? Where did Tiger Boy and Little Qi go? Have you found him? " While Elder Chen was sucking on his cigarette, the police officer could not help but ask.

To be honest, Fang Zishu was also curious.

Even though Old Chen was talking about the past, it had nothing to do with their destination, the 'Ghost Doll Ridge'.

However, Fang Zishu always felt that the past that Old Chen had experienced might have something to do with the 'Phantom Puppet Ridge'. Otherwise, Chief Chen would not have displayed such a terrified expression when he had heard the three words "Ghost Bastard Ridge".

Therefore, Fang Zhoushu dared to conclude that there must be some sort of connection between the Weeping Ghost Cliff, Solitary Eagle Ridge, and the Ghastly Doggie Ridge, some sort of unknown connection.

However, he had no way of knowing what the connection was.

Elder Chen let out a long sigh and continued his story …

Xu Linzi left with plenty of dry food and water.

Chen had no idea if Xu Linzi's path was smooth or if he had encountered any dangers along the way. He only knew that it was already the third day since the two of them parted ways when he saw Xu Linzi again.

After a few days of continuous searching, Old Chen had consumed a lot of energy.

He had become extremely dispirited, even in his dreams he had called out 'Tiger Boy'. He was on the verge of collapse, and if not for the hunters forgiving him time and time again, Old Chen would have long had a thought about living a life.

The helpers Xu Linzi had brought this time numbered more than twenty.

It was not an exaggeration to say that in the entire village, other than the elderly, weak, and handicapped people, the rest of the hunters and young people had all abandoned their farming work and followed Xu Pi Zi to the Weeping Ghost Cliff. They all wanted to help Old Chen find the whereabouts of Tiger Boy and Little Qi.

With the addition of this force, the search area was much more meticulous than before.

It was just that Tiger Boy and Little Qi had been missing for a rather long time, coupled with the occasional light snowfall these days, so many of the traces that should have been left behind were covered up by time and the heavy snow.

Fortunately, 99% of the villagers who lived at Chen Jia Dam were hunters. They often went up the mountain to hunt, so they were very good at searching.

Under the carpet search, some clues were quickly found by the villagers.

When the villager, fat head Li, was urinating at the edge of Sobbing Ghost Cliff, he accidentally discovered a pair of trousers belt made by Bai Juan. A pair of red mandarin ducks were embroidered on the belt with needlework.

Through the identification of Little Qi's mother, this belt was what Little Qi used to wear. After obtaining this clue, Old Chen's spirit also became excited.

Since Little Qi and Little Qi had gone missing together, so the chances of the two of them being together was very high. Now that the items on Little Qi's body had been found, it proved that Little Qi and the Tiger Child had stayed together at the mouth of the Sobbing Ghost Cliff.

Looking at the direction and location of the belt's descent, the hunter guessed that Tiger Boy and Little Qi probably went to the Solitary Eagle Ridge on the other side through the Sobbing Ghost Cliff.

After hearing the news, Elder Chen was both excited and anxious.

He was so excited that he finally had news about Tiger Boy and Little Qi.

But the thing he was worried about was that he absolutely didn't expect that Tiger Boy and Little Qi would actually go to Solitary Eagle Ridge on their own. The Solitary Eagle Ridge was not like the Sobbing Ghost Cliff. The Sobbing Ghost Cliff seemed dangerous, but the range was not that large. Even if a stranger were to be lost within, they would be able to leave as long as they had some time to turn around.

However, the Solitary Eagle Ridge at the other side of the cliff was not only connected with the Xiang Guizhou Ancient Road, but also with the ancient forest at the end of the mountain range. Although there were many animals inside, there were more hidden dangers. In the fall and winter of the new year, even with Big Zhang and Xu Linzi accompanying him, Elder Chen did not dare to venture too deep. At most, he would only be playing in the autumn wind at the edge of the lake.

The villagers also knew that the Solitary Eagle Ridge was extremely dangerous, but they didn't want Tiger Child and Little Qi to be trapped inside. In addition to Old Chen and Little Qi's painstaking begging, the other villagers who came to help had finally decided, after some discussion, to continue searching for Tiger Child and Little Qi without going deep into the depths of the Solitary Eagle Ridge.

The group passed by the mouth of the Sobbing Ghost Cliff and headed towards the southeast.

Roughly two hours later, they arrived in front of a stone stele.

This monolith did not engrave any text, nor did it have any formed pictures.

The entire top and bottom of the monolith was covered with weeds. As long as those weeds were brushed away, the seven or eight chaotic lines on the monolith would intersect. From afar, the intersecting lines formed by these innate experts looked like a soaring falcon.

Thus, this completely black stone tablet was nicknamed the 'Eagle Monument' by the villagers. As long as they passed through this stone tablet, it would mean that they had stepped into the Solitary Eagle Ridge's territory …
