Utilizing the additional Backpack Capacity gained from leveling up, he successfully stored the entire set of armor. After deliberately dirtying himself to appear more natural, he quietly slipped out from the edge of the forest.
Who’s coming?
Before he could approach the crowd, his figure was already spotted. As soon as the words were spoken, all eyes turned to the newcomer. This made Yun Yi smile slightly; it was clear that vigilance here was extremely high, and blending in unnoticed was impossible.
However, his powerful level gave him ample confidence, alleviating any worries he might have had. The level meant that within a radius of several meters around him was his Absolute Territory. Even if the Refugees suddenly launched an attack, he could instantly use rocks to block them out.
Thus, for him, whether facing a few people or many, the difference was negligible. Yun Yi raised his hand and said, "I mean no harm."
Thanks to the warm light emitted by the campfire, everyone could see what he was doing clearly.
"Who are you?" a voice inquired.
Yun Yi did not mention that he belonged to the Wanderer group; after all, he looked nothing like them. Even with deliberate disguise, he appeared out of place. Wanderers typically had a haggard and frail appearance, while his robust figure was quite rare.
"I come from Zhao Family Village in Zhengding County to the west," he introduced himself. "My name is Zhao Yun. I came into the mountains to hunt beasts."
He continued explaining his background, mentioning an unexpected encounter with a pack of wolves. To escape their pursuit, he had been running through the mountains until he lost his way. Upon seeing a light shining in this direction, he decided to approach and see if he could find a path back to his village.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but think to himself: If you are Zhao Yun, then who am I? After hearing Yun Yi's words, the surrounding refugees seemed somewhat reassured.
These people had gathered here for various reasons; broadly speaking, they were all drawn by the light emanating from the stone tablet's Attractive glow.
"And what about you?" Yun Yi continued to inquire.
"Us?"
The man replied, "We are just a group of unfortunate souls without any support. Due to the severe drought across the land, our crops have withered and died, leaving us without hope for survival. Thus, we were forced to venture into the mountains in search of a way to live, ultimately led here by the two lights in this region, as you mentioned."
Yun Yi nodded slightly and then pointed to the stone tablet. "Do you know anything about this stone tablet? Why does it float in the air, and what is the source of the light at its top?"
At that moment, after observing for a while, he noticed that the tablet, which originally had glowing characters, seemed to have lost those inscriptions. He speculated that these markings might be temporary and would no longer appear after a certain period.
As he posed his question, one member of the wandering group suddenly became excited, especially the person standing nearby who eagerly pulled Yun Yi aside and said earnestly, "This stone tablet is no ordinary object!"
Yun Yi feigned curiosity. "Not ordinary?"
The man pointed to the night sky. "This stone tablet is a manifestation of divine beings from above!"
Yun Yi raised an eyebrow in skepticism. "Divine beings from above? Is that true?"
"Absolutely not a fabrication!" The man replied. "Do you know the purpose of this stone tablet's descent?"
Yun Yi maintained a patient demeanor as he looked at him. "Why don't you tell me?"
The man was more than willing and began to elaborate: "Do you know what happened with the Divine Stele yesterday?"
Yun Yi, fully aware of the truth yet keeping up his act of ignorance, responded, "I just arrived here; how could I possibly know what happened yesterday?"
The man's expression turned serious as he began to describe last night's events: "The stars were shining brilliantly, and the moon hung high in the sky. Suddenly, the Divine Stele emitted a blinding light that nearly touched the stars. Then, it seemed as if the ground could not bear the immense sacred power contained within the Divine Stele and began to collapse.
However, since the Divine Stele is a holy object from above, it cannot be buried deep underground. A mysterious and great force lifted the Divine Stele, which is why we now see it floating in mid-air."
