Cheng Xiu and the others decided to meet the creatures early as they did not want to create advantages for the Rat Counsellors who were coming their way.
Cheng Xiu stopped at the flight of stairs in front of her. "How low are we going?"
"Lower than this," Yaksha said to her. "Rats live underground."
"Not all of them," San Zhe said and blushed at the curious attention that they gave him. "I…I mean, rats usually exist where there is extra food, is dark, there are less people visiting, and so…the thing about them only being underground is worng."
Cheng Xiu smiled behind her mask. San Zhe actually contradicted the expert he was so scared of! It was a definite improvement to the last time he was in front of Yaksha. Did this mean that killing the NPC gave him a new confidence?
