A Turn of Fortune

Racing through the treetops, Hong Zhao activated his eagle vision and located the next team. When he found them, he passed them much like the first group. Setting up the trap with his qi balls, he once again held his position in the trees. As they moved closer, he saw one of the men's face grow more serious. He held up a hand and the entire party stopped.

"I see a large amount of condensed qi up ahead. It seems we have an ambush set up." The man said. "There are two balls formed of qi to either side of the path as well. With this said, our assailant is most likely nearby to activate the ability when we become close enough."

"Clever bastard." One man said as he began scanning the area around them.

Hong Zhao sighed. He knew it would be too easy if they fell for the same thing twice more. The odds were at least one to two men would have some sort of detection ability. If he didn't take care of this now, they might be able to make it back to camp and set up a strategy.
