In the misty forest, they walked deeper together, but would rarely meet each other because they didn't walk in a straight line; just in a rough direction. As a result, it could be a bending route.
Although they would rarely see each other, some of them still met by accident. When Dongfang Ziyu's team saw Jing Yunyan's team, they avoided one another under a tacit agreement. The two teams were at the same level, so they avoided having conflicts, at least for now.
In addition to meetings with people, they would also see many demonic monster corpses. Whenever they saw the bodies, they would go to observe them. They did that, not because they tried to find missed demonic monsters, but simply because they wanted to figure out how many demonic monsters from among them had magic crystals so that they could be mentally-prepared.
