Under the cover of the night, the rhinoceros beast escaped with Ji Fengyan into the depths of the Forest of Freedom. Only after distancing themselves far away from the Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian gang did the animal finally slow down. But it never came to a complete stop. Ji Fengyan self-consciously jumped off the back of the beast, but it turned around to signal that she should follow along beside it.
Going through the dense vegetation, after walking for goodness-knows-how long, human and beast reached a lake hidden within the forest.
In the deep night, the peaceful lake looked like a mirror. Nestled within the forest, the surface of the lake reflected the moonlight.
Ji Fengyan looked in wonder at that vast expanse of lake. Swirls of pure spiritual energy were concentrated upon the surface of that lake.
The rhinoceros beast walked to the side of the lake and lowered its head to drink the water.
