Cannibalism amongst the Soul Fragments

"What is happening?" Hei Gou could not help but ask, but Xue Wei did not answer. Instead, he placed his finger on his lips and indicated that they had to be silent.

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, no one questioned his actions but picked up their pace and began rushing through the now more sparse vegetation of the forest.

Just as they had almost left the forest behind a large boom resounded throughout the forest. The forest which had previously been completely silent was giving off a boom that was even more resounding than the outstanding thunder that could be heard outside.

"Crap," Xue Wei was not one to swear, but right at that moment all hairs stood on end, and he was feeling very uncomfortable. Every cell in his body was screaming for him to get out of there right away.

Even the remnant soul fragments which had followed them like a dog following a bone before were now fleeing without a second thought. Their primal instincts were also telling them to escape.
