"All that mist seems to have been drawn away."
The scarlet mist had vanished without a trace. Even the grayish-white haze around them was thinner than before.
Arthur looked around hesitantly, unable to tell exactly what was happening outside.
"Dawn, use [Divine Sense]."
Tang Qi withdrew his shared perception with the clone—
All he needed to do was have the clone take the prepared blood bags outside the cabin, then open their mouths little by little to release the scent of blood.
The mist surrounding the cabin would drift after the departing clone as though drawn to him.
During that time, it might try to penetrate the clone's skin and drink deeply of his blood.
But with the constitution boost from [Strengthened Attributes], the clone's skin was as tough as oak.
As long as he wasn't attacked, he wouldn't dissipate.
An hour was enough for him to carry the blood bags far away, scatter the blood, and attract the surrounding Vampire Mist.
And as an undead being, Dawn was the only one the mist would not trouble.
She circled the cabin Arthur had conjured, sending ripples sweeping from her chest into the surroundings, then answered with certainty:
"There's nothing."
"Good. Looks like we can leave and keep moving."
Tang Qi informed everyone that they were safe for the moment, then had Kuru use [Magic Trick] to remove every trace of grime and blood scent from them.

"Didn't you understand what I said? This was all a lie—there are no hags, no food, just blood mist filling this entire area!"
"We haven't reached the place where Kane made his offerings. How do you know there's no food?" Tang Qi asked.
"Because I know that place!"
Fide's feelings were complicated.
She shouldn't have explained any
