Long Cheng was never a gentleman, so instead of going to Lou Mary for help, he grabbed at anything that he could use, which was long enough to reach the female shifter so that, he could move her away, in case she was too slow to move away from, the upcoming thunderbolt.
"Get away from there, now!" Long Cheng commanded, before shifting his focus to any lightning bolts that would come in his direction.
He was not even looking at her, busy avoiding the lightings. For some reason, he had the feeling that all the bolts were deliberately aiming at him.
If not for the smaller bolts burning other trees, Long Cheng would have thought that someone was manipulating the lightning bolts in the Thunder Forest.
For it was strange that the flashes of lightning were becoming faster by every passing minute. 'I need to get out of here!' That's what he wanted, but he wasn't done searching the place for his mate.
