It's already nightfall, and visibility is poor.
Chen Zhou initially wanted to take the shortest path up the mountain, but remembering the many sharp traps set along the way, and fearing the two indigenous companions would accidentally step on them and get injured, he decided to take a longer route.
Lai Fu never expected to see humans other than his master again. Along the way, he curiously circled around the two indigenous people, sniffing at their scent.
His companions said that this strong beast was a Divine Beast raised by the Celestial God, with accolades made from human bones hanging around its neck. It was unknown how many warriors it had killed, and whenever Lai Fu approached, the wary captive appeared extremely nervous.
The young man holding the clay pot was equally apprehensive, but he managed to restrain himself a bit more.
After all, he was holding the tableware of the Celestial God, containing the "Holy Water" that could bring the dead back to life.
