A gentle call drew Xu Zimei's attention.
He turned his head, only to see several people including the village chief Song Yuanshan crawling out of an underground kiln.
Most of the people in Sun Chasing Village should be fine.
Xu Zimei asked in surprise, "You're still alive?"
"We have no idea why. Fearing the chaos of war, we hid in a pre-dug hole underground.
Every now and then we'd poke our heads out to look, and that's when we saw you coming," explained the girl Mu Yang hurriedly.
She was very grateful to Xu Zimei.
More accurately, he was the savior not just of her, but of her entire family including her mother.
The gratitude was immense.
Xu Zimei smiled and asked, "How are you all doing now that the curse power is gone? Is there any discomfort?"
Xu Zimei carefully sensed it, and indeed, the curse power on these natives had disappeared without a trace.
Originally, this curse power was like a bone-rotting poison, difficult to eliminate, beyond even Xu Zimei's capability.
