Shi Lang and Amelia dashed through the woods, following the Flaming Leopard's tracks when Shi Lang asked the girl to use her ability to become invisible. Amelia had no doubts and immediately followed his instructions.
Shi Lang did not want to take any chances, so he moved slowly through the woods, taking care not to cross paths with a group of natives. He was aware of how the Shamantis would purposefully leave loopholes in their patrol routes to entice any intruders. He took advantage of the loopholes because, just as they can be used to get to the center of the trap, they can also be used to get outside.
Shi Lang's hand was on his handgun as they moved, something that Amelia noticed. She also increased her vigilance and became acutely aware of every movement in her surroundings. They continued to move through the forest, following the shadows.
