Chapter 175 - 147: Encounter with 2nd Tier
It really was a tragedy!
Her body was gaunt, clothed in tatters with patches upon patches, emanating an odor of long-stored mildew and stench. Through the layer of dark dirt, her skin displayed an unhealthy pallor, the result of rarely seeing sunlight.
"The Longevity Sect is no more. We are from the Returning True Sect, and this place will be put to use again. Now tell me, how many people are still here?" Chen Li waited until her emotions had vented sufficiently before he asked.
"I’m not sure, there are quite a few factions around here. Sometimes when we go out looking for food, we occasionally find traces of other people. As for my group, there are only twelve of us left," the woman said cautiously, with a hint of joy, but still showing caution.
Chen Li sighed deeply upon hearing this.
He, too, had come from this place and knew the despair of the demon beast disaster, the malevolence of humanity. Even without her saying, he could imagine the hardships they had endured over the years.
"Go and bring your people here," he said.
"Fellow Daoist, could you possibly spare us some food first? I haven’t eaten in two days," the woman pleaded with hopeful eyes, licking her dry lips as she looked at Chen Li.
Chen Li took out a pile of demon beast meat from his storage bag, roughly several tens of pounds.
The woman quickly took it with a face full of surprise and quickly left.
Half an hour later, she returned with a group of ragged survivors.
