"So, Master, can this person be eaten?" Tsuka asked with his chin drooping and his eyes wide open.
"I will make my judgment after we meet," Li Qingming replied as he carried the Crystal Ball and ran forward at the previous pace.
Tsuka had no choice but to swallow hard and hide by the river bank, silently following Li Qingming from a distance of about ten meters.
On the other side, after proceeding for a few dozen seconds, Xu Meijia had roughly made out a man's silhouette in the light, moving at a considerable pace—clearly a Vanguard.
With that, she let out a sigh of relief and, after brewing her thoughts silently for a moment, she called out in the gentlest tone possible.
"Excuse me... are you a rescue Vanguard?"
There was no answer from the man, who continued to move at the same speed.
Xu Meijia's expression stiffened, but she called out even more tenderly, "The road is uneven, with holes and stones, be careful."
The man still didn't answer.
