Outside the tribe's gate, a reluctant Gu Man clutched Qiao Xixi's hand, her eyes swollen from crying.
"Xixi, are you guys really leaving?"
Seeing her cry so sorrowfully, Qiao Xixi felt reluctant to leave as well. "Yes. Don't be sad. We'll be back once we've taken care of things."
Gu Man knew they were going to the Hopeless Abyss and was very worried. "You all must be careful. I'll wait for you to return to the tribe."
Tata was also hugging Qiao Ang and the others, a complete crying mess. "WAAAH... Brother Qiao Ang, I don't want you to go! I want to keep playing with you all."
Qiao Ang patted Tata comfortingly with his small hand. "Don't cry. When I get back, we can go bathe in the water together again."
Feili took out a map drawn on sheepskin and handed it to Feiyan. "The Hopeless Abyss isn't far from the Divine Leopard Tribe. You can go there first to gather information."
"I understand, Father."
