Alex sent out his spiritual sense to the max to check out the forest while the group of 5 showed him the path out of the forest.
As he looked, he realized that there had been a lot of trees cut around that area. The feeling in his body regarding the ingredients was also a lot more tamer.

"What's your name?" Alex asked the leader.
"It's Yun Jiang, senior," the leader said.
