"Now that you mention it, I see it too." Another girl agreed. She didn't believe she hadn't noticed it before. "Other than the two people who escorted us, we haven't seen a single person in this town. What is happening here?"
"What's there to be surprised about?" Rong burst into laughter. "You're all overthinking. This is a small town. What else did you expect from it? This town is near the beast mountain. It's clear that people would prefer to stay in much safer towns. Most of them would've already left this town, leaving this place almost empty. Just stop overthinking."
"That's quite possible," Huang agreed. "Instead of worrying about such minor things, we should keep our focus on the Beast Mountain. Don't forget what we're here for."
Even though the empty town was slightly strange, Rong's excuse also made sense for most. In any case, they hadn't sensed any danger in this town.
