When Shang heard what he had to do, his mind quickly changed directions.
He put his earlier thoughts to the back of his mind as his old instincts from the wilderness returned.
Without saying anything, Shang shot towards the Wild Forest. Mervin watched him from afar and slowly followed him from a distance.
As soon as Shang reached the first tree, he jumped to one of the branches in near-perfect silence. Then, he simply jumped from branch to branch with practiced ease.
Shang looked at the ground of the forest for the entire time while always quickly checking the tree he would jump to next.
Shang hadn't even realized that Mervin had essentially made it harder for Shang than necessary.
