Everyone stopped, concealing their auras as quickly as possible.
Sunxiao reverted to his human form and held Qiao Xixi as they submerged. In the distance, Qiao Xixi saw several dark shadows flash past.
If Sunxiao hadn't pointed them out, Qiao Xixi wouldn't have even noticed their presence, mistaking them for a passing breeze.
Only after the figures' auras had completely vanished did Sunxiao and the others surface.
Jin Ling glanced at Sunxiao and the others. "Five of them."
The males nodded.
"Then there are only five left at the Watchtower. Let's go, now's our chance."
Confirming that half the Watchtower's beast guards had left, Qiao Xixi and the others picked up their pace.
They traveled until the latter half of the night, when Qiao Xixi checked the map's location feature again.
According to the map, they weren't far from the Watchtower. Another half hour or so of travel would get them there.
