Lotlyn's words left everyone somewhat silent.
Still, they had been somewhat prepared for this.
Nearly all of them had enemies. Only by sticking together for warmth could they be relatively safe.
Once they were alone, they would face the danger of dying at any moment.
For many of them, their race's fate was much like that of the Starfolk.
Take the only two Merfolk sisters in the team, for example.
They were somewhat similar to Blue Star's mermaids. Whenever they came into contact with water, their legs would transform into fish tails.
The scales on those tails were among the rarest materials in the universe.
They were unbelievably thin, incredibly sturdy, and possessed unimaginable resilience. They were excellent materials for making close-combat scale armor.
Even more incredibly, when these scales were ground into powder through special methods and consumed, they produced a powerful hallucinogenic effect.
Because of this, the Merfolk sisters' race had been hunted and raised in captivity on a massive scale, all so their scales could be stripped away again and again for profit...
They had only avoided the fate of being captured because they had been fortunate enough to find Lotlyn's team.
There were plenty of people in the team with similar experiences.
They all understood that the journey to find the Reality Stone would inevitably provoke powerful enemies. Otherwise, they would have left the team long ago.
