Tang San gently shook his head, suppressed the thought, and stepped over the corpses on the ground to continue onward.
Not far away, faint footsteps sounded. Tang San paused, and the coldness on his face instantly turned into a warm smile.
If Spirit Beasts would not work, then what about people?
See? He had barely grown drowsy when someone brought him a pillow.
Two men and one woman, all wearing the same light armor of a spirit-hunting team, with a family emblem embroidered on their chests.
The middle-aged man in the lead looked to be just over forty. When he saw Tang San, he was first startled, then showed a hint of wariness.
However, Tang San's travel-worn appearance, combined with his courteous manner, quickly dispelled his guard.
After learning that this young man had gotten lost in the forest alone, the middle-aged man even kindly pointed him in the direction out of the forest and generously gave him half of his water.
Tang San took the water flask, drinking as he asked questions without showing the slightest change in expression.
Although the middle-aged man thought Tang San looked like a good person, he still kept a little caution. Casually, he said that he came from a small nearby city, claiming that his family was only an insignificant minor force, and that they had entered the mountains this time to hunt third spirit rings for a few juniors in the clan.
"Thank you, senior." Tang San lowered the water flask and smiled with great sincerity, so much so that the other party did not even notice the chill hidden in his eyes.
Since it was not any reputable family, there was nothing to worry about.
It seemed this Soul Emperor was probably among the strongest in that family.
In that case...
