"Damn it. I do not even know how many of these Shadow Panther thingies will be!" No.7 complained telepathically as she tried to pinpoint every predator they saw before they struck and No.2 understood her frustration as they could not detect their heat signatures and they were doing hit and run tactics in order to tire the Herd.
"No.7, stay calm and magically tag the ones that had already been hit." No.2 replied as he started to use his mind control techniques to get the Herd to start moving as a group down the stream.
He believed that if they were to move downstream, there might be more chances for them to reveal the group of the Shadow Panthers that were prepared to ambush them. However, the moment the Herd moved on the command of their leader, the shadow panthers disappeared and instead, now it turned into a shadow python, wanting to bind their prey down before they could run away by wrapping its entire body over it.
