Luo Xiao glanced at Da Tou and Xiao Tou. Both of them were sitting still, but their muscles were bulging and it was clear that they were on high alert.
Although they were all humans, everyone had been made clear that within the Secret Realm, it was very common to rob others of their spoils.
After arriving in the Secret Realm, neither Luo Xiao, nor the pair of brothers had been many places, but because of their meticulous journeys into the meadow, they had managed to get their hands on numerous rare and precious herbs that could make a great difference to the outside world, not to mention the treasures taken away from the many slain beasts.
Because of this, the trio was all very vigilant now that a group of humans appeared. They did not know whether to expect hostility or indifference.
“Hey, look at this.” Just as Luo Xiao hoped that the group would continue forward, a voice was heard a short distance away from their camp.
“There seem to have been some sort of battle here not too long ago.” The voice sounded again, this time even more eager than before.
Luo Xiao could not help but feel somewhat regretful as he knew what they were referring to. From the beginning, the trio had been very careful whenever they were attacking others, and they ensured that their targets were never close to their camp.
However, earlier today, they were close to their camp when they heard a rustle in the grass not far away. Instead of evacuating, the group decided to check out what kind of beast was hiding within the grass, and after seeing that it was merely another shrew, they quickly began the battle.
During the days of fighting in the meadow, shrews had become a very ordinary foe, and they knew how to quickly end its life. It was no big deal getting rid of it, and thus they did not consider the location too much.
Now, this shrew had become an attractive factor for the group of adventurers outside to show more interest in their location.
Luo Xiao knew that it was easy to look back at their previous actions and regret them, but nothing could change what had already happened.
“Do you think that another group has been passed here?” Another voice suddenly sounded this time. This voice was clearly a gentle and feminine voice where the previous one had been energetic but masculine.
“Another group has definitely been passing through here, and it is not too long ago.” A third voice sounded out. The owner of this voice was also male, but unlike the previous energetic and cheerful, this voice sounded more steady and mature.
“Do you think we can find more comrades?” The female voice once more rang in the distance, but this time, a naive excitement was mixed within.
Hearing the various voices, Luo Xiao felt that the owner of the mature voice had to be a very strong powerhouse. To be able to allow for this woman to maintain her innocent demeanor within the Secret Realm, a powerful force was needed.
Luo Xiao never expected that their proficient methods of killing the shrew was enough to cause the mature man to become apprehensive, but he was quite relieved when hearing this. It seemed that this group outside was not willing to attack others unless necessary.
“Well, then, we will camp here tonight. Since there are not only beasts around these areas, it would be best for us to not travel in darkness.” The energetic male voice sounded again, and following the voice, the sounds of various tools sounded in the distance.
Luo Xiao looked at Da Tou and Xiao Tou. They glanced at the outside, but none of them spoke. They all knew that as long as they remained silent, no one would find them, so it was better to just keep quiet and restore their energy after the previous day of hunting.
All three sat down and began cultivating. Fortunately, none of the previous days had been wasted, and they already had a habit of who kept guard when throughout the night.
Luo Xiao started to guard the first half of the night while Da Tou would take the second half. Today was the day where Xiao Tou would be able to rest, and the next night would be Da Tou taking the first half of the night and Xiao Tou taking the second half while Luo Xiao rested. They had already made a good routine, so even without saying anything, they knew who would do what.
Watching Da Tou and Xiao Tou focus on cultivating and losing their focus towards the outside world, Luo Xiao slowly leaned against the stone behind him.
The trio had all benefitted greatly from the time they had been within the meadow, but the group of adventurers had reminded him that this meadow was merely a small part of the Secret Realm. It was time for the three of them to move towards other directions.
Even so, Luo Xiao was not in a hurry. At the very least, he had to wait for the group of experts outside to move away first, so that he could pack up as much of their camp as possible and reuse it later on. It would be a waste to leave it behind.
