"What on earth are these things..."
Wanli Fengdao, crouched on a branch, drew a sharp breath. A dozen or so floating corpses emerged from all around the forest, surrounding the tree. Their murky, gloomy eyes stared at him, filled with a bloodthirsty desire.
Instinctively sensing danger, Wanli Fengdao leaped up. At that exact moment, several floating corpses slammed into the ancient tree beneath his feet, shattering it.
Branches snapped with a crackle and leaves scattered. Crystalline raindrops, clinging to the foliage, cascaded down like a waterfall.
Wanli Fengdao had no time to assess the situation below. He swiftly shot a grappling hook from his sleeve. It lodged in a distant tree trunk, pulling him forward in a swing.
An Exploding Arrow silently followed a curved trajectory toward Wanli Fengdao's back. It struck a skinny floating corpse that had leaped up.
