After the mercenaries got off the airship, they prepared fires and caught game quickly. Due to Du Fan's request, the mercenaries also caught a pheasant, and after they had prepared it, they gave it to Feng Jiu and the others. Therefore, Qin Xin added the pheasant with some nourishing medicinal herbs and made some chicken soup for Feng Jiu to eat.
The night brought a chill breeze to the face, and after the twenty mercenaries had eaten, they gathered around the fires and took turns keeping guard. Feng Jiu went back to her cabin on the airship to rest while Du Fan and the others left Shadow One and Gray Wolf to keep guard.
The night passed peacefully and early the next morning, they continued on their way. Their airship stopped in a grove two days later, in the evening. While they rested in the grove, they heard cries for help and sounds of exclamations were accompanied by a disarray of footsteps running towards them.
"Help! Help…"
"Ah… Help…"
