Things go from bad to worse

Across the forest, Ji Yao who had been stuck in a stalemate with the horde of creatures heard the ear piercing roars coming from the other end of the forest and couldn't help worry for Rui Fei.

It had to be him messing with the creature, right?

It was the only thing that made sense. Out of all his crew besides Huishe Yue, Rui Fei had to be the only one who would face off with that creature. Since these creatures wouldn't dare attack him without orders Ji Yao simply decided to walk away. He had to back up Rui Fei anyway so he leapt up to the sky and followed the sound.

The creatures that had been staring at him all bug-eyed had no choice but to follow him from the ground. The creatures were camouflaged in the trees below as they followed behind Ji Yao.

Apart from the occasional rustling leaves one wouldn't be able to tell that they were ugly creatures following behind him.
