On the other side of the underground network, the sound of the siren stone was also heard. Xian Mei stopped when she heard the sound. She was still chasing Amon, but she was not as hurried as before. By now, she knew Amon wasn't trying to flee from her. Even if she stayed put, Amon would remain close.
When she turned in the direction of the sound, a bolt flew by. It cut a nearby vine, which Xian Mei was not aware of. A boulder lined with sharp spikes swung toward her. She reacted by swinging her saber. The boulder split in two. This natural trap was nowhere near enough to threaten her life.
