Three weeks into the journey, something unexpected happened, Wan'er and the group got surrounded by rogues.
It happened so fast.
One moment the path ahead was clear. The next, figures dropped from the trees on both sides, landing in a loose circle around the group with, with malicious smiles on their face, they definitely won't listen to peace talks.
Lin Wan quickly counted how many they are.
Twelve. Maybe fourteen.
'Okay,' she thought. 'This is fine. This is absolutely fine.' her whole body rigid with panic.
It was not fine!.
Her heart beating so fast and hard that it made her ribs uncomfortable. Wang had shifted back to human form the moment the first figure landed, putting himself directly in front of her. Qin Mo moved to her left without a word. Keal and Da Jun closed in from behind, each of them sharp and alert, ready to fight off whoever came close.
Lin Wan was completely surrounded by her own people before the rogues had finished landing.
