"Witch, why did we sneak in? We could have just come in through the main gate."

"You're so stupid! The chief told us not to reveal our identities. We have to state our identities when we enter through the gate. What if we reveal the tribe's identity?"

"Oh, but why don't we give a fake identity?"

"......"

“The witch has her own plan. You all follow along. Tonight, we must find out where their supplies came from. The leader said they have never traded saltstone powder from anywhere else, but it seems to be inexhaustible.”

In a corner outside the city wall, several petite figures were lying on an inconspicuous patch of grass, with a few branches on their heads and a staff in their hands emitting a pale green light.

The guards standing on the city wall failed to notice this clumsy concealment method.

"Witch, how do we get in? This wall is too high; we can't climb over it."

The group of women were only about 1.4 meters tall, while the city wall in front of them was at least as tall as seven or eight of them.

“Of course the witch has a way. Ke Yi, you dig a hole from here and keep digging all the way in, and we can sneak in quietly.”

Upon hearing this method, the others present looked at her with admiration.

"Witch, you're so clever!"

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. If I weren't still lacking in strength, I should be the one to be the leader. Only I can lead the tribe to a bright future..."

The group's work didn't make much noise. The girl with animal ears standing on the city wall rubbed her eyes and stared down with some curiosity.

"Xiaoyin, am I seeing things? When did a bush appear there?"

"Hmph, I think you just want to slack off. This time, I'm not going to believe you no matter what."

"Really, I'm not lying to you... Okay, actually I need to go to the bathroom, so I'll have to leave you there to hold the fort."

"Hey! Kaoru!"

With the view above gone, the group huddled together finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued their excavation plan.

Within minutes, they dug a small hole to accommodate their bodies.

"Click..."

Suddenly, the animal bones unearthed something hard. After removing the soil, they took a closer look and found that the color was exactly the same as the city wall above.

"Witches, it seems like they're on guard down below too."

"You don't need to say anything more, Wu knows. Keep digging, I don't believe it can go any deeper."

The group started digging again, creating a pit several meters deep, but all they found was still a patch of bluestone.

"Keep digging! I really don't believe they can completely seal off the ground!!!"

An hour and a half later...

"You're still here to trade so late?"

When Xiao Xun returned from the restroom, she was curious to see the group covered in mud. They didn't seem to have any supplies, so what were they here to trade?

Trade yourself?

"Hehehe, actually we are homeless people. It's too dangerous outside. We heard it's safe inside... so could you let us in to take shelter for a while?"
