Xiao Xiao continued along the path. The deeper she walked, the colder it felt. I'm not sure if it's my imagination, but this place feels eerily sinister.
As she walked, a sudden gust of wind whipped around her, seemingly containing some kind of Energy.
Xiao Xiao stood still, hesitating whether to move forward, when a streak of light flashed toward her at high speed. With her eyes wide open, she only realized it was a sharp blade when it was almost upon her.
SNAP!
Xiao Xiao dodged quickly, and the blade stabbed straight into the tree trunk behind her. In an instant, the speared trunk crashed to the ground. Seeing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but furrow her brows.
"Who's there? Why don't you show yourself!" Xiao Xiao shouted toward the direction the blade had come from. "Whoever you are, get out here right now! Don't think you're safe just because you're hiding!"
