A thought struck Bai Wanwan, and her eyes lit up with anticipation. "Has the beast tide receded?"
"Yes." Jin Yi smiled and nodded.
He rarely smiled. The faint smile had a certain refined elegance, like light glinting off fine porcelain.
"I patrolled the eastern ridge. There are hardly any crazed beasts left. They're all converging on a few other mountains."
Bai Wanwan let out a long sigh of relief.
"Does that mean we can go back to the tribe?"
"We can't go back directly. We have to pass those mountains, and the beast tide there hasn't subsided yet."
He paused, then continued, "But... there's an underground river. It can get us past the beasts on those mountains and to the foot of the mountain near the tribe."
Bai Wanwan was sick of this primitive lifestyle. She nodded immediately. "Then let's go now, while the light is still good."
"Alright."
After speaking, Jin Yi quickly transformed into a majestic Golden Lion before her.
