Yimei's face went pale. She grabbed Si Shuo's hand, her lips trembling as she said frantically, "Si Shuo, the Rogue Beasts are here! Let's go hide in the caves on the back mountain!"
Outside, the Beastmen were already gathering their Beast Skins and Crystal Stones, scrambling toward the back mountain. Some young Beastmen were knocked over, and they wiped away their tears as they got up and continued to run.
Si Shuo pressed her lips together tightly. She pulled Yimei quickly downstairs; the males of both their families were currently away.
But after they left their cave, she stopped. Instead of following Yimei to the back mountain, she took another small path toward a ravine.
Just as she entered, she heard a familiar and rather excited voice: "I saw Si Shuo! She went that way..."
Si Shuo pressed her lips together and pushed Yimei toward the spot where she usually practiced her Catalyst Technique.
