The thin misty air is filled with tension when they return to the hot springs to regroup. Meng Xing frowned when he saw the pants of Qiu Shisi was torn, exposing his wounded leg that is currently bleeding as he was assisted by Du Mu to walk.
"S – sorry…" Qiu Shisi apologized and smiled when he saw Meng Xing's frosty expression. He knows that Meng Xing is extremely pissed. "M – Mu-ge* pushed me aside to avoid but I was too focused when I saw the mud trails, so I reacted late." He explained and thanked Du Mu, who slowly placed him down, again.

"It looked scary!" Pei Pei said with a pale face as he looked at Qiu Shisi's wound. He hid behind Ke Lin in fear.
"So pitiful…" Ju An muttered as he looked at Qiu Shisi with a sympathetic gaze. He looked worried. He didn't know that mud could also be dangerous. He has more to learn about this world!
