The Trail
Soujin was moving at high speed, which Lou almost couldn't keep up. Inside his heart, he vowed to train harder after this. If he couldn't keep up with Soujin, what was the use of him as a guard?
The road was still the same and with the fog all over the place, Lou couldn't see anything in front of him clearly. Even with Soujin in front of him, he barely could see the other person's silhouette. They have traveled for hours without speaking until Lou could hear the sound of water nearby.
The river! The old lady, Jun Miao, said that they needed to find the river and followed it to reach their destination. Since they have reached the river, it meant they have gone halfway through. This was truly a piece of good news for them.
Soujin stopped near the river. He looked towards the wide and deep river with a frown. Jun Miao said that the Jun Tribe came from beyond the river, but this area was incredibly wide and violent. There should be a different way from what she told them.
