Lu Lin instinctively halted and began carefully perceiving his surroundings.
This doesn't align with the intelligence he received about Liu Chang. Liu Chang was supposed to be fleeing alone in the wilderness. Why are there over a dozen figures here?
The sky was still reasonably bright, so even inside the cave, Lu Lin could clearly make out the appearance of the dozen or so figures. They had sharp teeth, entirely black skin, and black clothes. Their ears were pointed, and everyone wore a silver earring.
Are these... the Black Silk Tribe? The same tribe Chen Xiran had encountered during her previous training expedition?
Lu Lin tightened his grip on the broken knife in his hand.
What is the relationship between this Liu Chang and these dozen or so members of the Black Silk Tribe?
