Re'Kha slapped her forehead, almost screaming in shock when she noticed her Tikka jewellery was hot, almost burning up. Only now did she feel that her hands had been shivering all along, as if she had subconsciously been under the influence of fear.

And now that she had begun to notice the strange points, she felt it was strange the horse was trembling in fear when it had only been at the village's entrance. She hurriedly expanded her Wind Qi perception, outlining the entire area in her range.

She noticed that the villagers were already in their homes, having finished dinner and had gone to sleep. There were no signs of activity in the village after that, like it was a ghost town. Every single individual was already fast asleep.
