章 713: Welcomed

"Oi! You okay!?" he shouted in their native language and waited for a response. Ten seconds, twenty, thirty, and then a whole minute passed but no response came.

'Am I hearing things?' Hao Xuan thought inwardly, doubting the events of the last few minutes. '

Maybe it was a hallucination? Maybe the barbarian wasn't even real to begin with,' but that line of thought quickly went down a dark path. If he started doubting everything he saw then where would it stop?

It was a slippery slope to say the least.

He closed his eyes to focus on the olfactory and auditory senses since there were no visual clues to be found. The world darkened before falling to silence.
