This was undoubtedly a signal. In fact, it was an explosive signal! There was no room for a mistake since he had sent his signal forth. Big Bear and Long Crane would surely come to meet him as long as they were in the Heavenly Punishment forest.
The Crane King and the Bear King were sitting in the very depths of the forest, and were drinking wine.
Long Crane's mind was cautious as usual. But, Big Bear was enjoying and living in the moment. He was having a typical 'the monkey takes over when there's no tiger in the forest' moment. [I'm the boss since the Eldest isn't present here!]
Therefore, he had dragged Long Crane for some drinks, and this had been continuing for two full days by now. He didn't even care about what had happened in Heavenly Punishment over the past few days… or what they would have to face in the future. This simple-minded temperament was entirely different from that of Jun Moxie's, but it somehow managed to yield the same results.
