Qin Mu sat beside the skeleton and took out ointments to treat his own injuries. "I'm originally from the Yellow Spring so why should I be scared of them?" he said with a smile.
The skeleton stood up and said, "This place is an ominous land in which no one can survive. The only way for you to live is to immediately turn around and leave."
Qin Mu squeezed the spoiled blood from his wounds and pulled out the devil qi. "Going back is then the path to death, so I will still have a chance if I advance forward. Do you know which path is safer?"
The skeleton shook its head.
Qin Mu finished applying medicine to himself and executed his vital qi. He circulated it one round, and when his wounds didn't burst open, he stood up. "Do you know where's north, south, east, and west?"
"That's east!" The skeleton pointed his finger forward.
"Thank you."
