Tengu moved swiftly.
With a whoosh, the car appeared in front of them in an instant.
One side of the door silently swung open, but as it passed the pit beside them, a gust of wind blew and slammed it shut with a bang. The push and pull forced Qiao Dongyang, who had just straightened up, to press down again, falling onto Chi Yue.
Sand and dust swirled to their faces, smudging them completely.
Qiao Dongyang cursed quietly and wrapped his arm around Chi Yue, hunkering down in the pit, resuming their cover while his eyes darted towards where the ambush had come from.
The assailant was smart, not showing himself, hiding who knows where, readying for the next surprise attack.
"Lord Qiao! Why didn't you get in?" Tengu drove the car out, and upon discovering they hadn't boarded, slowly reversed back.
"Lord Qiao! Where are you?"
"Sis, where are you?"
"Hurry up and get in the car, there are bad guys!"
Qiao Dongyang: "..."
Chi Yue: "..."
They had already missed the best chance.
