"Don't move. Nobody move!" When Li Huowang's voice echoed in the dim bamboo forest, everyone instantly froze in place.
They stood motionless, heads tilted back to stare at the rows of pointed bamboo overhead, afraid the tips might suddenly come stabbing straight down.
"Don't move, I mean it," Li Huowang said, lifting his right foot to take a step forward.
The others watched this, their hearts leaping into their throats. But when they saw the bamboo overhead remain perfectly still, they all let out a huge sigh of relief.
Li Huowang walked forward a few more steps and made a circle around the area. The bamboo was still just bamboo—nothing had changed.
"Is it... is it just that the bamboo in this damn place grows weird?" Gouwa said hesitantly.
Regardless, Li Huowang didn't dare to guess. He began shaking the bell with one hand, and the Elder summoned by the Daoist Bell, formed from lines of energy, quickly began to patrol the bamboo forest.
