Using the [Minor Remnant of Dread] from the [Shell Of Dread], Leo released the little dread the Vestige had accumulated so far and forced the surrounding goblins backward slightly. The effect was useful, but not especially potent considering the Remnant was still at the "Minor" stage while the goblins themselves vastly outnumbered them.
Leo didn't wait for the goblins to regroup. The moment [Minor Remnant of Dread] pushed them back, he grabbed Yin Li by the arm and turned sharply into the trees. Yin Li stumbled but kept pace, forced to adjust his weight quickly just to avoid being dragged behind. The goblins reacted almost immediately, their screeches rising again as they pushed through the forest in pursuit.
"Why are they still following us?!" Yin Li shouted while running.
"Because we didn't convince them we're not worth it," Leo replied without looking back.
"That's not how logic works!" Yin Li yelled.
"It is in this forest."
