Mildew started making anxious noises. It flew off of Lai Yiteng's shoulder and high up into the sky before going back the way they came before.
To think it left him before they were even attacked, Lai Yiteng was numb at heart.
The black thing howled again and dashed between the next two boulders, closer still. It made a scratching noise each time it moved, like nails dragging over the ground sharply. Lai Yiteng squinted his eyes, but the thing was so fast it was impossible to get a good look.
Gut intuition told him that facing the ghouls was safer. Yet, he could not turn his back to it now.
Lai Yiteng drew out his dagger. He would prefer to rely on pure martial arts to fight his enemies, but with his current state…it was better to try with the dagger first.
It finally sprung at him.
A blur shot towards his boulder and slammed into it as a shriek pierced the air.
