Fortunately, this thing showed no signs of revival, staying quietly for several hours until Gu Mian returned.
This time, Gu Mian came up without any spoils; all the caves he explored were empty, no paper figures, nor any narrow tunnels dug by hands.
"Although I found nothing this time, I discovered evidence of habitation in other caves, though it's unclear whether there were other paper figures inside."
"Did you see traces of habitation but not any other paper figures?" After learning about the situation below from Gu Mian, the Fortune-teller thoughtfully glanced at the paper figure head by the cliff.
Surprisingly, Xiao Qiao took the head to play with, out of boredom.
The Fortune-teller silently looked at Xiao Qiao for a few seconds, then turned back to continue discussing the situation below with Gu Mian.
Gu Mian spent too much time exploring below; the surroundings had darkened and night was approaching.
