SCREEE—
A sharp cry cut through the long night of Jail City.
It heralded the pale light of dawn on the horizon.
Xiaoqi spread its wings and soared high, heading off into the distance.
Lin Yi watched Xiaoqi until it vanished from sight.
"Where'd you get that bird of yours?"
Wei Shang dragged his weary body over.
During the earlier battle with the Soaring Sand Snake, he had claimed his injuries weren't serious.
But that hit had been anything but light.
He had taken some medicine afterward, and his injuries had recovered a bit.
Still, a full recovery would take some time.
"Brother Chu gave it to me!"
Lin Yi replied with a smile.
"Brother Chu? Who's that?"
"Chu Zhengxiong!"
"Oh, that captain from the Demon Hunting Bureau, right? I've heard of him," Wei Shang said with a nod.
