Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 632

As the two of them continued their search, the atmosphere felt different. With just a glance, Felicia was able to convey her intent, and Scarlet instantly understood. This rare synchronicity, this natural understanding between them, was almost seamless.

After walking for over an hour, Felicia stopped again, crouching down to examine the dried leaves on the ground while reaching her hand back to Scarlet.

Scarlet promptly handed her a small stick.

Felicia took it and used it to sweep aside the dry leaves, revealing the damp, mucky soil beneath. It was accompanied by a strong, pungent smell.

Scarlet pinched her nose, clearly disgusted, but she didn't retreat. She complained in a muffled voice, "What is that smell?"

"Urine."

Felicia tossed the stick aside and stood up, scanning the area with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. "We've found the right place. This is their hideout."

The traces on the ground proved that not long ago, someone had come down from the mountain. Judging by the footprints, it was just one person. It was unclear whether this person had gone down to contact others or to buy something.

"We need to hurry," Felicia said.

Once the location was confirmed, the search became easier. Occasionally, there were traces of footsteps, but most would have been hard to spot without Felicia's sharp observation and keen sense of smell.

Scarlet kept pace with Felicia while sending messages to the other five mercenaries. Once the location was sent, five red dots on her tablet were rapidly moving in their direction.

Felicia didn't stop. She kept walking, searching along the way.

The tracking skills she was using were ones she had learned from Stanley not long ago in the rainforest, and they were already coming in handy.

After following the trail for over an hour, they arrived at a bomb shelter built deep in the mountains.
