Chapter 48: It was the ultimate privilege of a loyal servant
Seeing Kael jump into the water without thinking, several figures in the forest were surprised.
However, none of them made a sound or spoke; they weren’t stupid enough to talk out loud.
They looked at each other, and the leader of the group raised his hand, slowly clenched his fist, and signaled to move forward.
With slow and careful movements, they emerged from the forest and stood exposed under the moonlight, which was like a silent observer.
In the distance, you could hear the howling of wolves, owls, and other animals and insects, which sounded much louder, making the night more dangerous and deadly.
After inspecting the surroundings with his limited vision, the leader gestured to one side and then traced a semicircle.
Step by step, they got closer and closer to the water, the sound of the waterfall filling their ears with intensity.
When they reached the riverbank, the leader looked at one of them and motioned for him to check, then signaled to the others to be on alert for any kind of surprise attack.
The member approached with his nerves and senses on high alert. He circulated his mana essence toward his dantian, converting this energy into an aura that took on a coppery green hue that covered his body.
He peered over the edge but saw nothing: no fish, no aquatic plants, only darkness. There was no sign of Kael or any disturbance in the water, only the gentle current and the loud sound of the waterfall.
The man turned around and, making several gestures with his hands, indicated that there was nothing unusual, which was very strange.
