The wounds were still festering, and the bleeding showed no sign of stopping. Even when he tried to use the peerless healing power of his own flames to repair them, it was to no avail.
"Brother Sun, it’s all my fault..." Cao Tongtong knelt beside Mi Ri, her eyes brimming with tears. Had she not been so careless, Mi Ri would never have had to face that giant lizard head-on just to save her.
"What do you mean, your fault?" Mi Ri’s temper was explosive, yet he remained gentle with those close to him. He chuckled. "If you want to blame someone, blame these damn officials. They didn't tell us a thing. Blame this second round’s space for being so twisted. Within the Yellow Sands, our strength is draining away; even in that starry expanse where the Ancestral Divine Fire resided, power was leaking. And now here—this endless rain wears us down, and these bizarre lizards are just itching to devour us... What kind of place is this? Didn't the officials say we were heading to the central region? But look around, where is this 'central region'?... I don't even know if, once the exit is opened, we’ll actually be able to leave, or if we’ll just be stepping into an even more treacherous space."
