The yellow ball of light and the sound of footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone was getting more and more nervous.
Everyone looked at Fade as if to ask if they should make a move.
Fade shook his head gently and communicated with them through his divine soul, "Don't act rashly. I'll go and check the situation first."
After that, Fade took the initiative to walk towards the source of the voice.
Soon, the other party noticed his movements. They instantly became nervous and shouted.
"Who is it?"
"Stop. Don't move?"
Fade raised his hands, slowed down, and called out, "I mean no harm."
The two sides approached each other and passed through the white mist. Only then did Fade clearly see their appearances.
The two of them were tall and sturdy, but they were not well-dressed. Their clothes were a little shabby, and there were still wine stains on them.
One of the men held a round lantern in his hand, which emitted a dim yellow light, illuminating the surrounding white fog.
The other person held a knife in his hand and stood in a fighting posture.
The most peculiar thing was that the two of them were wearing semi-transparent clothes on the outermost layer, almost covering their whole bodies. In Fade's eyes, they looked like raincoats on Earth.
"Who are you?" The men stared at Fade with vigilance.
Fade hurriedly explained, "I'm lost. May I ask what kind of place this is? Can you take us out?"
"Lost?" The two looked at each other and then stared at Fade.
The man with the knife said coldly, "There are no good things here. Just kill him."
After that, he raised his knife and chopped.
However, when he was about to take action, the lantern bearer suddenly stopped him and whispered to the man with the knife, "This guy is a little strange. He appeared in Misty City for no reason. I guess that he may be a Mist Crow. He might have something good on him."
"A Mist Crow!"
Upon hearing those two words, the other man's eyes could not help but light up. He sized up Fade, and his gaze revealed a hint of greed that was difficult to hide.
Finally, he whispered, "Then let's let him live for the time being. Let's take him back first."
The lantern bearer nodded slightly, squeezed out a smile, and said to Fade, "Sir, don't blame us. The situation in Misty City is rather special, so we have to be careful."
"Since you are lost, we'll bring you out."
Fade quickly cupped his hands and bowed. "Thank you so much, sirs."
"By the way, call your companions out. Let's move together. Don't lose them. It's easy to get lost in Misty City," the lantern bearer continued.
Fade nodded, then clapped his hands and called everyone out.
Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, the two of them narrowed their eyes and became more vigilant. However, when they felt the other side's realms, their expressions became relaxed again.
"Their strength is average, so we don't have to worry too much about it. However, it's better to send a signal to ask the brothers to bring someone over. It'll be safer."
"I understand!"
The two of them whispered for a while, then squeezed out a smile, faced Fade, and said, "You can come with us."
"Thank you very much."
Fade thanked them again and then followed them.
