Fade sorted out the general situation. He looked up at Rowane and said, "Rowane, since you saved us, what can we do for you?"
Rowane didn't refuse. She nodded and said, "I do need your help with something."
"Please tell me what it is," Fade said.
Rowane said in a deep voice, "Some time ago, our Flying Cloud Gang encountered an accident and lost a group of masters. Our strength was weakened, and the situation was a little dangerous."
"In a week, the Autumn Hunt will come, and it will be more dangerous. Therefore, I want to invite you to join my Flying Cloud Gang during this period of time. After the Autumn Hunt, wherever you want to go, I will personally send you there."
After hearing that, Fade was a little confused and asked, "Autumn Hunt? Is it a hunting day? Is there any danger?"
"The Autumn Hunt is indeed a hunting day." Rowane explained, "However, we're not hunters but the prey."
"The prey?" Fade was surprised.
Rowane explained in a deep voice, "You heard it just now. Because of the war and the poisoning hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Misty City is full of poison fog. It's not suitable to live here for a long time."
"The people who are still here, whether it's the Flying Cloud Gang or the Torch Gang, are forced to do so."
"Some people fled because they committed crimes, some were chased, and some didn't want to be controlled by the rules of the major cities. Some people were just disheartened. In short, most of the people who came here have their own unspeakable pasts."
Hearing that, two words appeared in Fade's mind - Sin City.
According to Rowane's description, Misty City was a lawless and chaotic place where criminals, robbers, villains, those in the underworld and those who had nowhere else to go gathered.
In such a place, there were no rules. Everything was measured by the size of one's fist.
If someone was strong enough, he could do whatever he wanted. If he was not strong enough, he would only be subservient and obedient.
The Torch Gang and the Flying Cloud Gang should be considered the two relatively powerful gangs here.
Seeing Fade nod his head, Rowane continued to explain, "In the whole Azure Cloud World, the places outside Misty City are basically divided into cities. The strong people of one side occupy a large city, become the city lords, and command the people."
"On top of these city lords, there is also a governor sent by the Sky Devil Region who is in charge of the affairs of the Azure Cloud World. However, the current governor feels that the Azure Cloud World is barren, so he doesn't spend much time here. Most of the time, he will go somewhere better, to be the Sky Devil Region's Fly Cloud Region governor."
"Therefore, in our Azure Cloud World, the real big shots are the various city lords. In order to train their descendants and develop their practical combat abilities, these city lords gather their descendants every few years and leave the city together to hunt and train outside. That is the Autumn Hunt!"
"At first, their target was only the vicious beasts, but later, there were fewer and fewer vicious beast, and they weren't able to train much, so they turned the target of the Autumn Hunt into hunting human beings."
"Although these city lords and nobles don't care about the lives of ordinary people, they still care about their reputation and won't kill innocent people. Naturally, we, the refugees of Misty City, will become excellent hunting targets."
"To hunt in Misty City, not only can you train your skills, but you can also gain fame by killing criminals. Sometimes, you can even enter the depths of the fog to find treasures."
"As a result, in the recent hundreds of years, Misty City has become their fixed hunting ground, and we have also become their fixed prey."
"That is the Autumn Hunt that I mentioned."
After hearing Rowane's words, Fade was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Rowane thought that he was frightened and added, "Of course, you don't have to worry too much."
"Those second generations of the city have killed too many people, so the people of Misty City naturally won't surrender. They have resisted many times, and even killed several sons of the city lords."
"Therefore, in recent days, the second generations of the city will not be as unscrupulous as they used to be. They can be considered to have restrained themselves a little. Some of the sons of the city lords are even nice and kind-hearted. They only come to hunt for treasures and will not kill people."
