Chen Yi acted as if nothing was amiss, going through his usual morning routine and having breakfast.

They occasionally encountered some barbarians draped in various animal hides, wielding rudimentary weapons, who looked down on them with indifferent expressions and waved them away.
Chen Yi and the others did not entangle themselves with the barbarians, focusing solely on hastening their journey.
