Hai Qin couldn't see anything, but he had a chilling feeling of being watched that put him on high alert.
The sudden change in Hai Qin's demeanor frightened Aqi considerably. She also carefully glanced around, but found nothing.
She looked at Hai Qin, still on high alert, and her heart fluttered with nervousness.
She tugged at Hai Qin's skirt, "Aqin, what's wrong?"
Hai Qin didn't answer but his unease deepened and his nerves grew taut as he continued to closely monitor their surroundings.
Suddenly——
A shadow shot across from the nearby forest, the rustle of leaves in its wake. Hai Qin noticed it.
"Who's there?!"
He shouted out, assuming a defensive pose as he kept his eyes fixed on the shadowy thicket.
Seeing this, Aqi also became vigilante.
After an anxious standoff, they finally heard a low growl of an unknown beast.
The grumble and growl came from its throat, as if it was wary of them and didn't dare to approach carelessly.
