452 Battle Spirits Forest 2 (1/2)

Qiao Chu did as Jun Wu Xie told him and after applying it, the bottle was passed around and everyone followed suit.

Jun Wu Xie lay down on her branch after that and the little black cat lay just above her head, its furry tail hanging over the branch, swishing back and forth.

”Meow.”

[This forest is rather similar to that place.]

Jun Wu Xie's eyes narrowed at the memory. She spent the initial ten over years in her past life in that demon's lair which had been situated in the middle of a dense forest just like this, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by silence.

Refusing to think anymore of the past, Jun Wu Xie slowly closed her eyes.

When the sun's first rays broke across the treetops, a scream tore through the air, causing the companions who were fast asleep among the higher reaches of the trees to startle awake.

The screaming was coming closer and the leaves on the trees were beginning to rustle.

”Spirit Beast?” Fei Yan sat up suddenly. A earsplitting beastly howl then reverberated in their ears.

Fan Jin was already sitting upright on his branch and his face was creased in a frown. ”We are still at the fringes of the forest and there shouldn't be any Spirit Beasts belonging to the higher grade around here.”

Just as Fan Jin finished his statement, several ragged figures burst through the vegetation. There were seventeen of them in total and they were dressed in uniforms of the Zephyr Academy. At that moment, they had lost all the semblance of magnificence they had portrayed initially from being an esteemed disciple of the revered Zephyr Academy. Their faces were now covered in dirt and their clothes were all tattered. Several of them had wounds on them and their blood had stained their clothes red. But they did not seem to notice their wounds as all of them ran for their lives.
