They might be the targets of the bounty hunters, Xu Yang observed carefully, leaning on the moss-covered entrance to the cave; inside, it was pitch dark with a twisty structure that made it impossible to see through.
Lila could sense what was inside and report to Xu Yang.
"No weapons, seems very anxious," Lila judged, "Like they're escaping or exiled."
"Relax," Xu Yang tried calling into the cave, "We mean no harm."
Murmurs and whispers arose from inside, with Lila silently investigating and listening to these anxious dialogues.
"What to do… we've been spotted..."
"So hungry..."
"There's no way to run at the back."
"We have food, crepes, come on out," Xu Yang called to them, "We just arrived too, don't worry."
"He said there are crepes."
"It must be a lie!"
"You heard the noise just now," Xu Yang bluffed to a certain extent, "Those people will come back soon, and then you won't be able to hide at all."
