The night was cool as water, and the cold wind brought a chill to the bones. El, hiding in the forest, shivered involuntarily, glanced at Shu beside him who remained silent, wanting to say something, but opened his mouth without knowing what to say, so he decided against speaking and continued to stealth forward. He could already hear the rumbling sounds not far away and figured that Zhu Bufan should be there already. Thinking of this, El unconsciously quickened his pace. Now was the time where every second counted; there must be no slip-ups.
Shu seemed to have the same thoughts as El. When El quickened his pace, Shu followed suit, keeping step. The two traversed the forest silently, their bodies emitting a green glow that faded, not using any powers, purely relying on their physical strength to hurry along. They didn't want to attract the enemy's attention; otherwise, the surprise attack would be meaningless.
