Deep into the night, the Battle Spirits Forest was shrouded in darkness. Jun Xie and his companions carried torches as they walked through the dense forest, using the light from the torches to illuminate the path ahead.
From time to time, the roars of spirit beasts resounded in the darkness. In the silence of the night, the sound made one's hair stand on end.
The torch in Qiao Chu's hand burned brightly and he would occasionally use the torch to illuminate the trees around him. After looking at the map in his hand for a long while, he finally gave up.
"You call this a map? Only a ghost would be able to understand it. "Qiao Chu said gloomily as he stuffed the map back into his pocket.
Fan Jin had been to the Battle Spirits Forest a few times and when he heard Qiao Chu's words, he smiled and said: "The map only gives us a general direction and it's night time now and the visibility is not good. Even if we have the map, we will not be able to make out our way clearly. Why don't we find a place to sleep first and wait till the sun comes out tomorrow morning before we go hunting for our prey."
Fan Jin was slightly older than the rest, and was also a frequent visitor to the Battle Spirits Forest. Naturally, he took on the role of the leader.
"I think so." Qiao Chu nodded in agreement.
"The forest is more dangerous at night. Some nocturnal spirit beasts will hunt for food at night. If you don't want to become their dinner, I suggest that you rest in the trees." Fan Jin advised.
The group of people nodded and looked around for an ancient tree. The tree trunk was extremely thick and the leaves were dense. It was very suitable for resting.
Fan Jin took out the rope from his waist and fastened a claw hook to one end of it. He was just about to throw it up the tree when he saw Qiao Chu and the others had already shot up the tree!
Their movements were light as they leaped up and climbed onto the tree trunks. Using the two adjacent tree trunks, they leaped left and right and easily leaped onto the tall branches.
Fan Jin's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He had thought that Jun Xie had asked these youths to come along because they were companions and he had already prepared himself that even if these youths did not possess much power, he would still ensure their safety in the forest. But from what he could see now, it seemed that these youths were not weak at all.
At night, when their vision was limited, they were still able to find things that they could use in the shortest time possible, and they were also very agile.
Fan Jin felt that even in the Zephyr Academy's main division, there wouldn't be many who could achieve such a feat.
"Throw the rope up, we'll pull you two up." Qiao Chu didn't realize that their agility had exceeded the standard of a branch disciple.
Fan Jin removed the claw hooks from the rope and tossed the rope into Qiao Chu's hands. "I don't need it. You can pull Little Xie up." Fan Jin handed the other end of the rope to Jun Xie and Jun Xie looped it around her waist. Following Qiao Chu's tug, she climbed up the tree branch while Fan Jin copied Qiao Chu and the others' actions and leapt up the tree.
Lying on the branches of a tall tree, everyone quietened down. The moonlight shone through the dense branches and leaves and scattered on the bodies of the few youths.
"Heh, I haven't slept like this in a long time. I miss it." Qiao Chu seemed to have thought of something and he muttered to himself with a smile. He turned his head to look at the side and saw Jun Xie sleeping upon the tree branch beside him. But when he looked, he was stunned.
Jun Wu Xie did not rest but took out a porcelain bottle from within her robes. She poured some white powder onto her hand and smeared it on the tree branch she was leaning against. After she finished, she threw the porcelain bottle to Qiao Chu and said: "There's a lot of bugs, rub some on it."
