Chapter 524: Mist Rabbit

Jiang Yun Chu walked around the perimeter of the camp; this place had no day or night, no sunrise or sunset, no green, and everything in sight was barren.

If a person stayed long in such a place, they would probably go mad.

"Little Thirteen." A girl ran over from afar, her face full of surprise.

Jiang Yun Chu raised her head, looking at the person whose expression differed from their first meeting.

In this place, everyone was cautious, everyone was disguising themselves.

Wasn't I the same?

"Elder Sister Twelve." Jiang Yun Chu waved her hand, lightly curled the corner of her mouth, and watched Twelve run over from afar.

"Here, I give it to you."

At that moment, Twelve opened the hand she had been holding.

The instant her hand opened, a pink rabbit, trembling all over, looked around.

"This is Pink Mist, a low‑rank spirit beast that excels at creating pink mist to flee; it looks cute and lovable and has little aggression."

"And..."

"This little thing will recognize as master the first person it sees."

Twelve had kept her hand tightly closed, fearing that if this little creature saw something, it would ultimately be unable to recognize Little Thirteen as its master.

"How amazing?" Jiang Yun Chu widened her eyes, feeling as if she had come to a special world.

Before, just sensing spiritual power already seemed extraordinary; now she also learned about formations and spirit beasts.

Today Twelve again introduced her to Pink Mist, filling her with a desire to explore and seek knowledge about Zhongzhou.

"Exactly, but this little thing is very rare; those without opened eyes are even harder to find." While Twelve was speaking, the creature cradled in her palm, resembling a rabbit, looked around for angles, its pair of round big eyes fixed on Jiang Yun Chu.

Twelve gave a light smile, "Stretch out your hand."

Jiang Yun Chu raised her eyebrows, then turned her palm upward and extended it.

That rabbit‑like spirit beast instantly brightened its eyes, then without hesitation climbed from Twelve's hand onto her palm, up her arm to her shoulder, and pressed against her neck, as if finally satisfied.

It rubbed its neck, then fell asleep…

Jiang Yun Chu felt the fluffy touch on her neck, giving her a sense of warmth.

"You can give it a name." Twelve looked at Jiang Yun Chu's softened gaze and couldn't help but smile.

"A name?"

"Just call it Mist."

"The Lost Land is mist, the past perhaps also mist; let's take a step forward." She extended her other hand and gently stroked the little creature; the creature was small, nestled at her neck like a cute ornament, its two big ears occasionally bending down, then straightening when something shook.

It was extremely cute.

"Good." Twelve nodded, "You rest today; tomorrow I'll take you to hunt spirit beasts."

Twelve only gave that reminder, then hurriedly bade farewell.

Their unit had not yet finished its mission; she was also anxious to deliver the gift to Little Thirteen, so she asked for leave and hurried back.

Jiang Yun Chu instinctively stroked Mist, feeling the warmth at her neck, thinking of the people she had met; being in this place wasn't bad either.

At least, she could strive to be herself.

At least, she seemed able to let down her guard.

Under the overcast sky, she lightly curled the corners of her mouth; her brows and eyes were full of gentleness.

"Did you send it over? She didn't dislike it, did she?" Old Six looked at Twelve hurrying back and asked casually.

Twelve shook her head, "Little Thirteen likes it very much."

Upon hearing that, Old Six paused, then swiftly attacked with the folding fan in his hand.

"Thirteen, go to the main hall to see everyone." Twelve walked to Jiang Yun Chu's gate and said softly.

Jiang Yun Chu opened the door; Little Mist seemed to like this place, and since climbing onto her neck, it had never changed its spot.

"Good."

The camp was simple, just a few wooden huts; in the very center stood a larger wooden hut, which was the main hall.

Inside it was clean, yet gave a sense of emptiness; the room was already filled with four people.

"Hello everyone, I am Thirteen."

Jiang Yun Chu looked at those scrutinizing gazes, smiled without the slightest fear, her brows and eyes full of gentleness.

"Let me introduce myself first; I am Old Two, with metal‑type spiritual power." She gave a brief self‑introduction.

"Four people have gone out to explore."

"Another four went to look for supplies; now in the camp, aside from the teacher, only we five remain."

"Over these years we have continually explored outward, seeking a suitable place to live and also a way out."

Old Two pointed at the empty chairs and gave Jiang Yun Chu a detailed explanation.

Lao Er pointed at those empty chairs and gave Jiang Yun Chu a careful explanation.

His voice carried a hint of cold; he kept staring at his fan, and even when Jiang Yun Chu entered the room he did not lift his head.

"I am Old Big, Little Thirteen, welcome." Old Big was all brawn, his whole person dark, giving a sense of simple honesty.

However, his eyes occasionally flashed with shrewdness, indicating that his honesty was merely a disguise; if deceived by that facade, one might not even know how they died.

"I am Old Seven." Wearing a fiery‑red robe, even his hair was fiery red; his eyes, when looking at Jiang Yun Chu, gave an impression of being hard to provoke.

"I am Lao Qi." He wore a fiery-red robe, his hair also fiery-red, and his eyes, when looking at Jiang Yun Chu, gave people a feeling that he was not to be provoked.

After the introductions, it seemed he recalled something and then announced it.

Jiang Yun Chu nodded, returning the gesture.

"I am Thirteen, wood‑type; I hope to cooperate well with everyone in the future." Jiang Yun Chu stood, glanced at the people in the room, and gave a light smile.

"I am Thirteen, wood system, hoping to cooperate with everyone in the future." Jiang Yun Chu stood up, looked at the people in the room, and smiled lightly.

"The Lost Land is different from other places; every step is dangerous, you must stay close to the Unit."

"Tomorrow I and the boss are going deep inside; there's no way I can bring you."

"Old Six, you will take Little Thirteen tomorrow." Old Two was making arrangements.

Old Six, having been called by name, lifted his head and said, "Understood."

Jiang Yun Chu also did not refuse; for the Lost Land, she could not say she knew nothing, but she was not far off either; now is a good opportunity to learn, and she will not let it pass.

"It's just to let you get to know everyone; when the others come back, you can get to know them slowly."

"Little Thirteen, we are all people with bad luck; the road ahead will be very difficult, only if we progress and work hard together can we see a glimmer of hope." Old Two looked like a sister with a bad temper.

But her personality is completely different from her flamboyant appearance.

Jiang Yun Chu nodded and said, "I am a very easy‑going person."

Her principle in dealing with the world is: if others do not offend me, I will not offend them.
