Cruel Demons.

Shi Lang delegated the tasks to the people and began searching for the decoy. He moved quickly through the woods, and the tracks were getting obvious. They were getting more obvious with the distance they covered. 

Shi Lang could conclude that the decoy was getting tired, and the fatigue was physical and mental fear. This forest was not exactly a place to wander. Even the strong cultivators might suffer if they came across a strong spiritual beast. Spirit beasts were magical beings, and they were not feared for nothing. 

The terran was searching for the person when he found the tracks getting even more rushed. He looked around carefully with the aid of his spiritual sense. He concluded that a reptile spirit beast was after the decoy.
