The investigators present could only stare wide-eyed as we left.
Whispers broke out.
"These people are incredible!"
"Yeah! I heard Captain Wu say that kid carrying the sword and his master killed a Class A Great Fiend in Red Mountain Town."
"Class A?"
"That's right. The captain didn't say what it was, since it's classified as Class A. All I know is that Captain Wu and Captain Zhao Liansheng from Group Six both went that day."
"I heard they're all from Mountain City."
"..."
We heard a few remarks, but we did not care and did not stop.
Staying amid these mountains had left us feeling uncomfortable all over. We had long wanted to leave and go back for a good night's sleep.
And so, our group left the depths of Black Cloud Valley.
Once we reached the outside, we found that the Red-Eyed Venomous Spider was already dead, its head split apart.
I did not know whether the Investigation Section or the Dragon Group had done it.
After a few glances, we ignored it and continued onward.
This time, we did not climb the cliff. Instead, we followed the valley out. There were many insect corpses outside, evidence of a fierce battle.
After taking a detour, we returned to the vicinity of Greenwood Village.
Uncle Yu went off alone to get the car.
By the time our group drove out of the mountains, dawn had already broken.
Everyone was exhausted, so after leaving the mountains, we went straight to a nearby town.
We found a restaurant to fill our stomachs, then stayed nearby.
We did not plan to return to Gui City either. From here, Mountain City was closer.
We slept straight through until evening. Everyone had been away for many days.
Pan Ling and the others in particular
