"The air in this fire is poisonous!"
Back at the Unseen Hillock, within the exquisitely decorated carriage, Fu Qian uttered a heartfelt exclamation.
This mission had failed in a rather peculiar way.
Throughout the journey, with each step tightening the noose, whether it was the natives or the Hunting Squad, he had maximized information extraction to the fullest.
However, the seemingly most valuable piece of information had paradoxically led to the mission's failure upon attempting its use.
In retrospect, it was fortunate that he hadn't directly snatched a fire talisman earlier; otherwise, he may have had to restart much sooner.
Every step had indeed been fraught with danger, befitting an item of such caliber.
For a moment, Fu Qian silently admired it in awe.
Although losing san and restarting are setbacks, he never felt that the arduous pursuit ending in failure was valueless.
Stay true to your heart, you need to enjoy the mission to complete it.
