Li Chengyi sighed upon seeing this and glanced at Keya, who was counting ants by the side.
"Wait here for me, I'll be back in a moment," he said.
"Okay," Keya nodded.
The two were on a ridge between two rice fields, surrounded by old farmers busy with their work. It was not a deserted area, so safety was not a concern.
After giving instructions to Keya, Li Chengyi quickly headed towards Tom.
Shortly thereafter, as he reached a corner out of sight, a flash of black light occurred, and he vanished on the spot.
The next time he appeared, he was beside Tom and the other two.
On the modest grasslands outside the Water Forest, there were three adults covered in wounds and bloodstains.
'Such good children... offering themselves up as excellent materials, not a single one can be missed.'
Li Chengyi took one glance at the trio, first approaching the woman who was on her last breath. He extended his hand and lightly touched her forehead.
