Li Mengnan stepped up without hesitation, stretching an arm in front of Du Yu to shield him behind her.
Twenty-odd meters away, that trembling female soldier abruptly froze in place!
"It's fine," Du Yu whispered, "Don't forget, our cloaks are specially made, infused with unique scents."
Li Mengnan whispered back, "Then let's get close and ambush her!"
Du Yu thought for a moment, then said, "Right now, we're Demon Beast Commanders. If this Water Charm Illusion Spirit doesn't attack us first, then she's our teammate. When we run into the Human Army, she'll help us kill enemies."
Li Mengnan nodded thoughtfully, "Mm... that's true."
"Don't make a sound, let's go." Du Yu pushed Li Mengnan to the wall, signaling her to move forward.
Li Mengnan tightened her grip on her longsword, pinched the brim of her hood lower, bowed her head, and walked forward.
Du Yu followed closely behind. The closer they got to the crookedly standing female soldier, the clearer the woman's sobbing became.
