467 Consecutive Slaps – Second Form 1 (1/2)

High atop Rolly's shoulders, Jun Wu Xie was still enjoying the soft fluffy touch of the ring spirit's thick fur when she narrowed her eyes suddenly. The light wind that blew past her carried with it the faint but distinct scent of blood that she absolutely abhorred!

”Stop!” Jun Wu Xie said suddenly.

The team immediately stopped in their tracks.

”What is it?” Fan Jin frowned, worried.

”I smell blood.” Jun Wu Xie replied, her brow furrowing.

”Spirit Beasts?” Qiao Chu turned around and sniffed with his nose, but he did not smell anything unusual and gave up.

”Human blood.” Jun Wu Xie's eyes narrowed. The scent was extremely faint and if they had not been moving in a direction against the wind, the scent would not have reached them. Due to the fact that the scent was carried here by the wind and that it was very faint, Jun Wu Xie deduced that they were still a distance away from the source. She looked up and stared into the wind. They had come to the edge of the area marked out on the map and if they moved inwards any further, they would be stepping into territories beyond the area marked safe by the Zephyr Academy.

Qiao Chu and the others turned their eyes to peer into the direction that Jun Xie was looking at. That part of the forest had denser trees and vegetation that any areas they had passed before. Every tree looked to be more than ten metres in height and their thick overhanging canopies covered the area they were looking at completely, making it too dark to see clearly what was past those trees.

”Is it coming from in there?” Qiao Chu asked.

Jun Wu Xie nodded.

”Shall we go see?” Qiao Chu was eager to have found something to do. The area marked out by the Zephyr Academy mainly only had low grade Spirit Beasts and posed no challenge to them. And with the towering figure of Rolly in their midst, they had not even managed to come across those low grade Spirit Beasts. If things continued on like this, Qiao Chu felt like he was bound to go mad with boredom.

Jun Wu Xie turned her gaze to Fan Jin. She did not have any other objective coming into the Battle Spirits Forest but to slaughter any targets that came to them on their own to seek their own deaths.
