Night fell, and the chill deepened over the wilderness beyond Jiangnan City District.
Mist drifted faintly in the darkness, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet rapidly.
At this moment, in this desolate wilderness, an exceptionally rare bonfire suddenly flared up, its blaze shooting skyward, drawing significant attention.
Occasionally, large sparks flew from the bonfire, swept up by the wilderness wind, disappearing into the darkness.
Surrounding the bonfire were two side-by-side green tents already set up, faint light seeping out from within.
At the farthest point reachable by the firelight stood a group of tall, imposing figures, guarding the campsite from behind.
These figures were, of course, the ten Stage Three Corpse Puppets under Lu Chuan's command.
The seven Stage Four Corpse Puppets were chosen by Lu Chuan to spread out within the campsite to provide close protection for Little Qiqi.
