The absence of firelight coupled with the night meant that the dense foliage blocked the moonlight, making it very difficult for Ling Chen to distinguish things in the undergrowth. He could only vaguely make out a black shape and couldn't tell if it was a bush or a person.
After some thought, Ling Chen turned his head and gestured to Du Kang nearby. The latter understood and immediately led Su Mei and a group of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples to quietly retreat.
However, Du Kang and the others hadn't withdrawn very far when sudden cries of agony came from the front of the group. Hearing the sounds, Ling Chen's expression changed instantly. Damn! The enemy has already flanked them. At this moment, the porridge girl who was beside Ling Chen reacted quickly and rushed towards Du Kang's position.
