During the trek, Gu Chenn kept his eyes peeled, seizing the chance to strike up a conversation with Xi Luo, "Have you ever experienced jungle traversal?"
"It's my first time."
Xi Luo's silhouette was as agile as a cat's, navigating the uneven terrain like she was walking on flat ground.
Gu Chenn squinted, "Sister Luo, you could actually locate the Joint Special Operations group. That system... it's not from the Flame Alliance, is it?"
Xi Luo said it wasn't.
But she didn't tell him where the system was from.
Gu Chenn, feeling a bit awkward, decided to keep quiet and followed her deeper into the jungle.
As time ticked by, it was four in the morning, and the sky above was turning a shade of bluish-gray.
Xi Luo suddenly made a gesture, listened intently for two seconds, and Gu Chenn whispered, "Gunfire."
"Two o'clock direction."
...
Dawn was breaking in the east, and the battle in the Primitive Forest was still raging.
