Falling into Mirages

In the dense woods of the Viridian Forest, a lone human girl clad in white and red martial robes jumped this way and that.

Cheng Xiu huffed as she jumped to the side again as the wolves clawed at her, and tried to take a bit off her body.

She was not sure what she should do. Even though her fight with the Direwolves before was far more difficult, Cheng Xiu could not help feeling that there was wrong with the situation that she was in.

San Zhe ran off on his own, clearly seeing a threat that she or Yaksha had not seen. And Yaksha himself was nowhere to be found. Cheng Xiu could guess that the promise that he had made to her might be the reason for his absence. If he was near her perhaps he would be tempted to help her and so he might have decided to stay far away for now.
