Upon seeing the fifty Qi archers, Wuyi immediately recognized who these warriors were: the Demon Talons. The deceased individual they had found must have been part of this group—a demonic organization that was on friendly terms with the demonics of this forest.
While he contemplated his course of action, there were some screams off to the west—screams accompanied by a lot of noise. The noise grew closer. The Demon Talons across the stream noticed the noise too; they turned in the direction of the noise almost as one. Wuyi and his group also turned, witnessing a small horde of Swamplings and other demonic creatures bolting down the path from the west. Behind them were Wuyi's group of Qi warriors and Red Daoists, giving chase. It was a rare sight to see the monsters of myth running.
The Demon Talon warriors began to shuffle. Several of them drew their great bows and prepared to shoot arrows westward, targeting Wuyi's group who was in pursuit.
