"Hehe, Tough Guy Bro is definitely a quality idol. You won't regret becoming a fan!" Gao Xuezhi said happily.
"All right, all right," Xue Tang said, lowering his head. "We're in the Wasteland Zone. This is dangerous, so stop thinking about useless things."
"What danger?" Gao Xuezhi turned her gaze forward again. "We've walked for so long without seeing even the shadow of an Evil Spirit."
Even without her saying so, Yue Wen had noticed it too. Although they were still not far from the city, some weak Demon Beasts that could not compete for territory would always be driven into this area near the Human Race to live.
There should not have been a complete absence of Evil Spirits.
Something was bound to be wrong when things were this unusual, and this made Yue Wen more vigilant instead.
Xue Tang told everyone, "There are usually two reasons for not seeing Evil Spirits in the Wasteland Zone. The first is that a powerful cultivator just passed through ahead of us and killed them all. The second is that a stronger Evil Spirit is nearby, and all the weaker ones have retreated."
"So that's how it is." The snack in Little Fatty's hand had become a bag of chocolate sticks. He nodded, then said, "Whichever it is, we can just stay on guard as though it's the second."
Despite saying that, he kept eating without showing any sign of nervousness.
Little Black took out a short blade with a concealed edge, tucked it into his sleeve, and looked around fiercely.
Yue Wen did not reveal his cultivation, merely following silently behind.
He intended to hide his strength this time and not act unless necessary... "necessary" meaning that when an Evil Spirit entered his killing range, he would make an appropriate move
