Perhaps seeing that he didn't resist, the girl's expression softened a bit. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Take off your mask and I'll tell you."
Chu Xiu didn't refuse either. During the previous Ancient Trials, he had always kept his face covered, not wanting his true identity to be discovered. Since this trial was a revisit of the past, there was nothing to hide.
He took off the mask, revealing a young, clean face.
The girl was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting that under the guise of this strange guy was a young boy, who didn't look much older than herself.
"You... you're an Awakened too, right?" she asked hesitantly.
Chu Xiu nodded: "Without being an Awakened, no one could survive in the wild alone."
