As the convoy wandered the sun climbed higher, casting its light across the land. The convoy moved in a tight formation, each backed close together. Wu Zhe walked just slightly ahead but behind Lady Jue, his senses alert to every rustle of leaves, and all and every movement.
Couple more hours passed by. Occasionally, distant howls echoed through the trees, but the large group presence made the creatures hesitate. Lady Jue was at the forefront of the convoy, her eyes scanning ahead.
Wu Zhe's thoughts drifted to how he could gain lifeforce with this many people around, he obviously wouldn't take someone lifeforce with this many people around him. The breakthrough to the Qi Foundation stage he was large so he would have to make this hunt count.
Suddenly, the forest ahead changed color instead of that grey white it became more dark. The wind seemed to pause. Wu Zhe's grip tightened around his sword, his eyes staying alert.
"Stay alert," the guide beside Lady murmured, his voice low.
