Chapter 601: The Endless Pursuit
Lin Xi was very curious about how Qian Qing ended up on this island and what she had done to gain the reverence of these primitive people. Lin Xi was eager to approach the statue and perhaps even touch its face.
Gu Fan speculated, "Perhaps Qian Qing used her magic, amazing these primitive people to the point where they treat her like a deity. If you performed some feats to awe their hearts, maybe you’d receive the same reception."
"Get lost." Lin Xi responded irritably. Even at this moment, Gu Fan was still joking around.
After a long wait, the primitive people finally finished their ceremony and left the cave. They carried their comrades, who perished in the sea of flames, away as well.
Gu Fan worried that if these primitive people returned to find their guards missing, they might get suspicious.
Lin Xi concurred, and hoped that the primitives would not be too overly concerned and continue with their journey.
After another while, it appeared that the primitive people did not return, which meant they didn’t observe anything out of the ordinary.
Once they determined it was safe, Lin Xi, Gu Fan, Su Hui and others emerged from hiding. The torches were still lit, which meant they could make out their surroundings.
Lin Xi approached the statue with her torch and confirmed that it indeed bore the face of Qian Qing. She reached out and touched it, only to be immediately disappointed; There were no distinct markings on the statue.
