Di Fuyi answered slowly, “You should not be depressed about it. The condition of the outside world remains an unknown factor. Our primary goal would be to make it out alive from here. Tell me more about this place; I will try to figure something out.”

The clan leader would not hide anything from him anymore. He told Di Fuyi everything that he knew. There would only be six hours of daylight each day. For the rest of the day, the sky would be mostly covered in a layer of dark, grey fog. However, if one were to come into contact with the fog, he or she would dissolve and vanish into a pool of blood.

The thundering growl was the sign that the fog would approach. Whenever they heard the sound of the animal, they had to return to the cave immediately and seal the entrance with the rock. The valley was about 800 miles wide, and the outskirt of the valley was mostly sealed with a layer of red, thick fog. The fog acted like a barrier that prevented them from crossing the border.

Gu Xijiu first discovered the red fog barrier. Those hunters who rushed to the barrier before were unfortunately killed by the Phantom Beasts before they even got close to the edge. Gu Xijiu’s teleportation skill had saved her life, as the Phantom Beasts could barely touch her. However, she could not penetrate through the fog barrier. Also, the closer she got to the edge, the more Phantom Beasts were around. She could not stay for too long.

“Her last adventure almost cost her life. Even though her teleportation skill could protect her, she was injured. As you know, she is a tough child. Knowing that everyone in the village had high hopes for her, she did not let anyone know about her injury. She had to treat her own wounds in a slow recovery process. In fact, she had a high fever for a few days in a row. I was so worried that she would never get well, so I wanted to stay by her side to take care of her, but she would not let me. This place is short of many medical supplies. She could only use the traditional way to reduce her body temperature.”

The clan leader sounded proud and yet guilty. “I admire her. As a woman, she definitely possesses great determination.”

Concerned, Di Fuyi was not happy about it. “When did it happen?”

“About two weeks ago. She has just recovered. Today was the first time she went hunting after the recovery. That was where you met each other.”

Di Fuyi took a deep breath before pulling Gu Xijiu away all of a sudden. “I need to check your injury.”

Gu Xijiu was obviously surprised by his sudden demand. She refused to go with him. “There is no need for that. I am well now.” There were many wounds on her body. Some were quite private, so she did not want to show him. Some were just scars. However, her strength was incomparable to his at this moment. Soon, he managed to drag her back to her room.

Her room was upstairs. It was scantily furnished with only a few things. There were a stone table, a stone chair, and a stone bed. There was some grass on the bed, covered with another layer of coarse cloth, so she would not touch the grass directly every time she lay down.

The number of greens in the valley was rather scarce, so the grass was not soft and fresh. Instead, it was merely a layer of dried leaves and dried grass. Even with a layer of cloth on top, it would not be comfortable to sleep in the bed. There was another piece of cloth at the edge of the bed that could be considered as a blanket. Di Fuyi was not impressed at all.

“Is this what you get after all that you have done for them?” A pigsty would be even better than her room.

Gu Xijiu was delighted to see his handsome face burning with indignation. “Actually, my room is the best place in the entire village. Others do not even have a bed sheet or a blanket. They sleep with the dried grass on their beds, or on a pile of hay on the floor,” she explained. Speaking of which, she was a little proud of herself. “When I first came, they did not even have clothes.”
