The lightning forest was not the sort of place one could hold lengthy discussions. After a brief talk, they heard wolves howling in the distance.
When the sounds subsided, the lightning trees seemed to react as if a message was being relayed, passed from tree to tree.
Chen Hu and the others were unnerved at the sight, and mournfully realized that their trials might not be over.
In the distance, the surviving wolves prowled in the undergrowth and watched the travelers.
"Come and fight us, if you dare! Your howls will accomplish nothing!" Chen Hu was annoyed, and their constant watching made him itch. He couldn't help but blurt out insults towards them.
"Let's just hasten our passage and leave this forest as soon as we can," Lin Weiwei said.
"Don't be afraid. There's no need to be. If they come closer, I am sure our friend Han Sen will re-activate their retardation mode," Chen Hu said.
