54 The Mud

The clattering sound which resembled a little horse running was exceptionally loud and obvious in the quiet night. A stool-like object ran briskly into Wen Leyang’s line of sight and a few of their companions immediately dived towards it with their weapons drawn but they were stopped with incredulous faces.

The object was not a living creature, it seemed to be made up of a few sticks of bamboo tied together with some green vines into the shape of a stool. It twisted itself around and stopped in front of them. A strip of green-colored cloth hung from the front of the ‘stool’ and two huge words were written on it: Retreat Immediately.

Little Chili Pepper stood closely next to Wen Leyang and stared incredulously at the object. She wasn’t sure if the stool would do anything else besides delivering this message.
