Su Qing's eyes sparkled as she mulled things over, all while keeping a close watch on the activity at the campsite.
Night fell. Arai Kuan had left two men to guard the campfire at the campsite, mainly to ward off the wild beasts of the deep mountains, but also to watch out for other people.
Here in the depths of the Qinling mountains, Sheng Chuanchua didn't dare set up a Maze or any similar Array. This was mainly because Hua Country had its share of powerful individuals who were rumored to frequent mountains rich in Spiritual Energy. If they set up a Maze and were discovered by such people, it would only expose them.
"Sigh, it's our turn tonight." The two men on watch sat down next to the fire. Even though it was summer, the nights in the deep mountains were still quite chilly, and the campfire provided welcome warmth. They placed a few flatbreads by the edge of the fire to toast them, chatting idly. "It sure gets cold in these mountains."
