A fog berth appeared ahead.
The Mist of Strangeness lingering on the desolate wilderness resembled the shallow water pools revealed when the tide recedes. They usually manifest at dawn and gradually dissipate over time.
The key is that there are no strange creatures in the fog berths, making them safe; the only danger being the ease of losing one's direction.
Fog berths are scattered like fragments in the lowlands of the wilderness, like isolated islands, guiding Lu Li and Katerina like ships sailing between them.
"Are you always like this?"
As they stepped back into the mist, the whispers of the wilderness were blocked out, and Katerina's tense nerves relaxed.
Katerina had mentioned she rarely talked to people, and she wasn't lying. She mostly kept strangers at a distance, trusting no one but herself. Lu Li was a bit different due to his legendary background and being a pure human.
"Always like what."
The mist was slowly dissipating, with visibility around ten meters.
