After waiting for over ten minutes, she finally heard unfamiliar voices approaching from the distance.
"Boss, with such heavy rain, why are we still coming up here?" A fully-armed man in black, carrying a birdcage-sized metal cage in his hand, waded through water and climbed the mountain while asking.
"Whine~" The young beast's whining sounded, the animal's low whine intermixing with his words.

"Don't be sad. In our line of work, we've long been prepared for life and death. Once we get the final payment, I'll give more money to Lao Liu and Lao Jiu's families," said the Boss with a sigh, trying to console him.
"I know, Boss, but why didn't we just drive straight to Qingfeng Village? Why climb up from this mountain!"
