Zhan Yue Chapter 289- Moving towards death

 Right when we were happily dealing with the monsters, the human soldier shuddered. Only now did I saw his name, Scout Qin Ge, a really easter name.

    I turned around, "You are a scout sent to Firefly Town?"

    "Yes."

    His face was still filled with gratitude, "Young adventurer, did Linchen County send you over?"
