A "squeak" seemed to come from the dense forest on the eastern side of the mountain.
Wei Yuan was so tense that the soft spikes on his head bristled again.
He had experienced being captured before, and although his initial intentions hadn't changed, he learned a lesson and became much more vigilant in his demon heart now.
Before Chen Xu could speak, Wei Yuan's entire body was already bristling with sharp spikes.
He was just waiting for the moment any danger was discovered; he would use his earth-escape technique to flee with Mr. Chen!
Only the sound of the wind was faint, and the pine trees whispered softly.
Besides the previous "squeak" from the forest, no other sounds emerged.
No, there seemed to be birds singing and the wind moving in the distance.
Occasionally, there was a fluttering sound, making the whole mountain seem alive.
Wei Yuan was both startled and angry, shouting once more, "Who is it? Come out, or else, or else I will not be polite with you!"
