Lind had pictured many things when told he was going to highlands, but the void looming over everything as the once gorgeous mountains were slowly crumbling to dust was not anywhere on the list.
The highlands were a massive stretch of mountains and valleys There were no sharp peaks, but rather large flat stone plateaus where many beasts once roamed.
Line was simply walking along a trail long worn into the ground as Gel and a wolf trailed behind him. They had set out to see if they could find a xiezhi that would be willing to help.
None of them had expected that the highlands were literally falling apart even as they looked on.
The farther east they moved, the more concerned Lind had become until the Qi began to thin in a way he was all too familiar with.
"Do you think they are still here?" Gel asked as she seemed far more emotional than usual but the wolf growled softly in response.
