But after only a few steps, Zhuang Shao, who was at the back of the group, seemed to sense something and looked back. What horrified him was that a half-transparent ghostly entity was lunging towards him from behind. Before he could react, the creature had already burrowed into his body.
Zhuang Shao shuddered as though electrocuted, and moments later, a devilish smirk spread across his lips.
"Zhuang Shao, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up!" Ding Yuan called back to him.
Without another word, Zhuang Shao stepped forward and chased after the others.
The forest is a playground for beasts, and it's no different within the secret realm.
Therefore, whether it's a cultivator acting alone or a group on an expedition, they all choose to traverse dense woods as quickly as possible.
