30 Training the senses (1/2)
After making their way down the mountain Shadow made use of her spiritual perception to avoid any big threats as they made their way deeper into the forest.
”Your hearing should be better than most animals, this should help you a lot in sensing incoming enemies. From now on it is up to you.” Shadow suddenly dropped a lot of responsibility onto the little rabbit.
”Um.. okay!” Korah listened intently to the sounds of the forest picking up on slight changes and signs of movement.
It was his first time he was able to pick up sounds coming from different directions when his ear twitched. ”Crap!”
In a nearby bush a brown blur shot towards both of them at a fast speed before arriving towards Shadow with its fangs ready to bite at her.
”Humph, you are seeking your death!” Shadow turns her body precisely as she lifted her back legs and sent out a fierce kick coated with black spirit energy.
The blurred figure crashed into her attack unable to put up much of a resistance and was sent flying backwards.
As it flew through the air, blood scattered in different directions until it finally hit the floor no longer moving.
”Good try but you need to notice any slight changes nearby, whether it be a broken twig or rustling leaves, sounds of footsteps, breathing and so on. Try your best to detect them and respond to them but at least you managed to notice we were under attack.” Shadow proceeded to dig a beast core from the lifeless beasts body and then stored the body and core within her storage bag. ”The next step is responding to ambushes effectively, that snake was poisonous so if we were bitten it would be difficult to dispel if I was not around so try to remember I may not always be around so don't rely on me all the time.”
”Mm..” Korah nodded his head as he grew more determined as he thought to himself. 'It seems she already has a lot of experience already in this from the way she handled that snake, if I was alone I would probably be dead from the first attack if I got poisoned. She is using her own time to help me learn these things so I have to work hard not to disappoint her!'
They both spent the full day together as it got dark, they had encountered many ambushes during their travels.
As time went by and the sun went down, the little white rabbit grew more alert as he tried to search his surroundings for dangers.
A light sound was heard by the rabbit as his ear twitched.
A figure emerged from the dark environment at a fast speed, Shadow stood still as she smirked at the approaching danger.
Before the figure could reach her a small figure leaped off her back and bounced onto the ground.
As he hit the ground he hopped once more sending his small body hurdling towards the approaching enemies side.
Before it could turn and face the threat the beast let out a roar, trying their best tot urn their body to meet Korahs attack.
