Chu Bamboo paused, giving Guan Fei a strange look. "Why do they look like wild men... and what's with the clothes you're wearing?"
"Right, and aren't there vines at the entrance? The incredibly vicious ones... how did you get past their attacks to come inside?"
"Vines? Oh, you mean the aberrant flora?" Zhou Ze asked, uncertain. "They... they wouldn't attack these monsters, would they? After all, they're the same kind as these two... hmm? Wild men?"
"Wait, monsters!" Chu Bamboo also sensed something was wrong.
The two stared at each other.
"By 'monsters,' you mean..." Chu Bamboo collected his thoughts, staring at Guan Fei and the other man in disbelief.
"That's right... They can't speak, they wield powers beyond mortal understanding that you can't even look at directly, and they go berserk from time to time! They go on killing sprees... They even mutate, twisting into true monsters." Zhou Ze shuddered, then gave Chu Bamboo an odd look and a bitter smile.
