Slithering Shadows

The three figures walked along the Red River in the dense Viridian forest.

The growls and caws of the forest creatures reached the ears of the travellers.

San Zhe shivered, his eyes moving from one corner to the other as he looked at the shadows of the forest in trepidation.

Even though it was Mid-day, and the sun was up high, the forest trees were so dense that light barely touched the forest floor.

Cheng Xiu's skin had a light silver gleam to it. A sign that she was using the Qi in her veins to connect to the world around her.

Her senses were confused. The Qi of the Forest trees were not distinguishable from the creatures of the forest.

Behind the two low-level players, Yaksha walked in an even stride, his broad shoulders relaxed. He felt a familiar Qi pulse around them, making him look into the shadows of the threes.

There was a slight movement in the bushes. The leaf rustled.
