Nuwa nodded to what Ethan said. She climbed up to the tall trees to get the best view. From up high, at least she could see who was around them.
Ethan stayed below, relying on Maelis to help him detect ground vibrations like sonar.
Again, Ethan's detection panel showed several red dots that weren't moving around them, but there were quite a lot of them.
Are they enemies? Or monsters?
He stopped walking and looked back. He could clearly see Nuwa still standing at the top of the tallest tree nearby, watching the situation.
"How is it?" Ethan asked.
"I see some monsters, but there aren't any players near us," Nuwa answered.
So, they were monsters. That made sense.
Ethan told Nuwa to come down, then started walking with her into the forest. Nuwa nodded and jumped down quickly, landing right behind him.
Once Nuwa was ready, both of them entered the forest carefully, staying alert.
He didn't know what kind of monsters were there or what their levels were.
