Ma Lu gave Qiutong a moment to digest the recent information, then continued, "Do you know how to get out?"
He had simply asked out of curiosity, not expecting Qiutong to actually nod.
"Yes, Mr. Cao taught me that if we defeat the Lord in the Disaster Zone, the disaster will end, and we can wait here for rescue.
"Normally, if the first team of talisman masters cannot resolve the disaster, the reserve group of talisman masters will enter the Disaster Zone after two hours."
Qiutong took a small pocket watch out of her bosom and glanced at it, "It should have been over two hours since we entered the Disaster Zone, so the rescue should be arriving soon. Did you see anyone else on the way here?"
"No."
"Um..." As a half-baked talisman master, Qiutong didn't know what to do next upon hearing this.
Ma Lu took out a green stone, which was dropped by the Shadow Demon that had ambushed him at the stairway entrance. He held the stone up to Qiutong.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
