The cooling covered the land before the Mist of Strangeness and the night.
The crackling of the fireplace fire overshadowed the whimpering wind in the chimney.
Beside the fireplace, like a strange ritual, there was no space to step as it was neatly filled with damp firewood waiting to be dried.
Katerina had experience in outdoor survival, and she knew how to avoid the presence in the fog from approaching.
When the light that seeped into the cave turned dim, she took out half of the burning firewood and built a new bonfire outside the refuge.
The shadows were dispelled by the firelight, existing only within Katerina's elongated shadow.
"Go call Lu Li back," said Katerina, tending to the new bonfire.
Puxiu released his grip on the dragged firewood and ran towards the cave entrance.
Before he exited the cave, Lu Li's tall figure appeared at the entrance.
Katerina looked up and frowned.
"What did you do?"
She suddenly couldn't sense the aura on Lu Li anymore.
