As Zhao Tian, Qi Xue and Qi Nue were examining the herbs in the clearing... suddenly, a rustling sound echoed from the bushes nearby.
The sound of snapping twigs and low growls echoed around them.
*flick* A flash of movement from the bushes caught their attention, and out from the dense greenery, a herd of strange creatures burst out.
These astral beasts are standing on four muscular legs, their skin is covered in dark scales that shimmered like glass.
Their faces resembled that of a tiger mixed with a bat, with long fangs protruding from their elongated mouths, their glowing red eyes fixated on the three people.
Thick, jagged spines ran down their backs, and the ground quaked beneath them as the herd charged toward the group.
"Batfang beasts," Qi Nue murmured, her lips curling into a confident smirk.
"We got some company."
Qi Xue's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Let's show Tian what we're made of. Watch us... little brother."
