Anna instantly understood Lu Li's intention, her half-translucent soul body gradually vanished, hiding inside the Inner World, observing behind the trees where the noise was coming from.
Using his staff to probe the ground in front of him, Lu Li continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard the commotion behind him, completely unguarded.
Rustle—
At the edge of the gnarled tree roots, a few fallen leaves lifted at the edges.
Anna's eyes widened slightly, positioning herself behind Lu Li, ready for the imminent attack.
The hidden being didn't keep Anna and Lu Li waiting for long. The disquiet caused by Lu Li's departure made it restless, and after a few seconds, a figure caked in mud sprang out from behind the tree, rapidily crawling towards Lu Li with all six limbs!
Rustle rustle rustle—
The sound of urgent scuttling approached from behind, and although Lu Li heard it, he still didn't turn around.
"Ha!"
