William didn't have to turn around to see the person behind them, but he did anyway so he wouldn't seem like a weirdo. The man was dressed in simple overalls and black leather boots that were caked with mud, while his face was squarish and had three distinct scars crossing vertically on his right cheek until they touched his lower eyelid.
"That's fine, I think we can manage on our own." William replied, returning his attention to his friends.
They had a Tribulation Transcendence Flame Dragon and Space Magic at their disposal, if they couldn't reach the Faction, who could?
"Really? You have a way to deal with Ascension Realm Poisonous Miasma?" the man looked surprised.
William turned to face the man again, "What do you mean? There's nothing on our map that says anything about a miasma, when did it appear?"
"Ha! That villain scammed you. The map in your possession might show all the cities and landmarks of the Continent, but it mentions nothing of the dangers!" the man replied.
