With the centipede down Ji Yao hadn't yet cooled down. He was like a listless torpedo with no target in sight. If one asks him if he was okay he would say I am fine but in truth, everyone could tell he wasn't fine.
Like a good commanding officer, he took the lead tracking into the deep desert heading for the mountain ranges where he saw that man with a sinister smile. He kept going moving in large strides without being considerate for the rest of them.
Some like Zhang Li couldn't take the heat wanting to collapse right then and there but he dared not complain. That expression on Ji Yao's face was the same as Ji Wen's when he was angry and no one wanted to mess with the god of thunder when he is in that state.
Lady Ching Sei noticed his odd behaviour and said, "Can't take the heat... neither can you handle water. I wonder what you are really good at exactly?" as she passed by him.
