Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Goodbye (4)_1

The fruit wasn’t big and was very red. Counting them, there were only five. They were the kind of small fruits that were a little bigger than a thumb.

Such a small amount of fruit wouldn’t even be enough to fill Lin Ziyin’s teeth if she ate them all by herself, but she resisted the hunger and, wrapping the fruit in a handkerchief, she began to make her way back.

"What if she runs into a wild beast while she’s out there alone?" Tana, from inside the cave, had been restless ever since Lin Ziyin had left.

Despite being very hungry, very tired, and very sleepy, the pine needles under her buttocks and the warmth left by moved charcoal made her not feel cold.

It was freezing cold outside, and the Queen of the Mausoleum going out alone to find food was truly dangerous.

At this moment, Tana was genuinely worried about Lin Ziyin.

"She is a smart person and wouldn’t do anything dangerous." Bayan seemed to be comforting Tana, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Hearing this, Tana knew that Bayan was also worried about Lin Ziyin.

The worrisome Lin Ziyin had fallen into trouble at that moment.

She had finally found something to eat, but on her way back, even though she was following her own footprints, she somehow tripped. This was at the bottom of the slope, and even though the slope was not steep, she rolled a considerable distance down it.

Consequently, the poor Queen of the Mausoleum had further to go to get back to the cave. Even more vexing was that her left foot was sprained. Every step she took, she felt a pang of pain in her ankle.

Still, Lin Ziyin did not wish to stay outside alone.

Wild animals were generally hungry in the winter. If she ran into one, she certainly wouldn’t escape.

"My luck really is bad." Lin Ziyin sighed, brushing off the cold, and vigorously rubbed her ankle with the snow on the ground. After the pain in her ankle had lessened a bit, she gritted her teeth and continued walking.

The cave was upward. Climbing required strength in her feet. After only a short distance, Lin Ziyin again felt a sharp pain in her ankle.

She couldn’t let this foot be ruined. She thought with bitterness, but dared not waste any time, gritting her teeth and continuing forward.

The weather today was bad. The sky became gloomy again. The northern wind was ruthless, the cold air was uncomfortable going down her lungs, and she could only take a few steps before she had to stop to catch her breath.

When she was close to the cave, even though Lin Ziyin was walking with her head down against the cold wind, her natural sense of alertness alerted her to something wrong in her surroundings.

What to do? Lin Ziyin began to feel anxious.

Under the circumstances, it would be fine if friends were coming, but if enemies were approaching, she speculated that she would be done for.

The enemy advanced rapidly, the half-person-deep snow seemed non-existent to them.

All the people from the other side were dressed in white, and they were not easy to detect. They were all very tall, clearly people from the North Country. Height wasn’t their main characteristic; it was the uniform weapons they carried.

These were a group of soldiers, well-trained soldiers from the North Country.

Unable to escape, Lin Ziyin calmed down. She sat down, not wanting to crane her neck to look at the people on the other side.

"Are you the Queen of the Mausoleum?" The person from the other side probably had already confirmed her identity, but to make sure, he still asked her.

Lin Ziyin nodded her head, not denying it.

Denying it was useless. In the icy world outside, she was the only woman, and a petite one at that. Even if she did deny it, the others would be able to find out her identity eventually. It was better to admit it directly.

The person who had approached was a big-bearded man. Hearing Lin Ziyin’s answer, he immediately waved his hand.
