Ryu walked with his senses primed, keeping a palm on Nemesis' body. He could feel the excitement of the big guy, so he had to make sure this mischievous horse didn't rush off on his own. 

Ryu knew that Nemesis had a bloodline that came from the Nether Realm long ago. But, he never thought that Nemesis would be able to adapt to Nether Qi so quickly. After all, Nemesis' lineage was many generations removed. 

But, if Ryu thought about it, Nemesis' Adept Body Sin Talent probably made it possible for him to easily adapt to any environment, let alone a world he had such close ties with to begin with. 

The group got into several more battles along the way. It felt like there was a new enemy at every corner. In one instant, the forest would be eerily silent, matching well with its overall creepiness. But in the next, all sorts of vicious creatures would make their presences known.
