Wang Xiao nodded inwardly, still keeping a wary eye on the barrage of trees. 'True, but his strength is better than I thought.'
Yin Yue's laughter echoed in Wang Xiao's mind, tinged with a hint of mockery. [This might be the weakest spirit you encounter. Others will be far stronger. This one possesses power but lacks intellect.]
Wang Xiao's expression turned grim. 'The weakest?' The thought unsettled him. The idea that this was just the beginning, that stronger foes lay ahead, weighed heavily on his mind.
Yet, he remained focused, leading Jake further into the forest, like a shadow luring an enraged beast.
*Boom! Booom!*
Jake's pursuit was never-ending, "Hahah! This pest thinks it can escape its fate!" he laughed, his torn clothes and bleeding body not affecting him in the least.
