"Huh?"
Hu Chan sounded puzzled. "If we're not looking along the edge of the area outside the Safe Zone, where are we going? Surely we're not heading deep outside the Safe Zone just for Small Gods?"
Qin Siyang neither agreed nor disagreed.
Obviously! How else am I supposed to solve the offering problem quickly without heading deep outside the Safe Zone?
