Half an hour later, Xia Zhou, transformed into an air cloud, was hiding in the tree canopy, looking down at the wooden house.
A slight and dense sound of footsteps echoed through the forest.
Mars walked solemnly at the front of the group, holding a thick vine staff in his hand.
At his side, was a towering soldier clad in a matte armor, with a thick beard extending from his chin to his grey chestplate.
This soldier seemed to be of some age, his face marked with wrinkles and scars. But his eyes were bright and expressive, his stoic expression filled the surrounding air with a heavy, serious ambiance.
Mars stopped with the group about ten meters away from the wooden house.
He tapped his staff in the direction of the wooden house, sending out an invisible wave from the end of the staff, which spread across the grass towards the wooden house.
"Captain Warwick." Mars lowered his voice, turning his head to the towering figure beside him.
