After their reunion, the two of them headed towards the cave and saw from afar a middle-aged man standing on a rock at the side peak waiting. His gaze towards Luo Zheng was filled with respect, his smile revealing a row of white teeth, which made Luo Zheng almost want to laugh, but he held back and nodded in acknowledgement as he walked into the cave.
The middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly in a few sentences, with an enthusiastic manner. The others looked at Luo Zheng with frenzied eyes and made strange wailing sounds, their purpose unclear. Lan Xue whispered, "They're probably thanking you. The middle-aged man went out with me and saw the destroyed military helicopter. They are showing their respect for you."
