Evelyn Ford gave the two little birds a scare before handing them over to Zoe.
"Zoe, can you ask them for me what the situation is like at Demon's Ridge? Find out if the four people who stayed behind are safe, and if the wild boars and buffalo are still in the mountains."
Zoe knew this was important. Her expression turned serious as she looked at the two little birds. After she muttered a few words, the birds began to respond.
"Auntie, the little birds say the people are still alive, but they're in four different places. They also saw lots of wild boars and buffalo. They aren't on just one mountain—they're spread across many different ones."
Evelyn understood. Her four teammates were safe and sound. The wild boars and buffalo had moved to other mountains, so the four of them had split up to keep tracking them.
"Is there anyone else in the mountains besides our four teammates?"
