"Didn't Ji Nuan say that if Buzzing Insects smelled thick smoke, they'd flee from their nests?" Ya Li curiously peeked around.
Unfazed, Xiu Yan lounged on a tree trunk, "What's the rush? They're bound to struggle for a while."
As expected, not long after Xiu Yan spoke, swarms of Buzzing Insects flew out of the nest, swarming to a distant place in an attempt to escape from the pungent, black smoke.
Xiu Yan and Ya Li's eyes sparkled. Using the beast skins they had soaked in water, they covered their noses and mouths and rushed at lightning speed towards the large tree with the nest of Buzzing Beasts. Ya Li's legs transformed into a black snake's tail, which curled around and pulled down the massive nest.
Xiu Yan transformed into his beast form. With several doggy paddles, he quickly buried the still smoking pile of kindling.
Once their eyes met, they raced together towards the set rendezvous point at the small river.
