Once they entered the forest, it felt as if it went from day to night in the blink of an eye. The only difference was that this night was devoid of the light from the moon and stars, there was only darkness everywhere they looked. If it wasn't for the glow flowers, they probably would have been tripping over every step that they took.
The glow flowers surrounded them in a sphere of light, because of it they were able to see a few steps ahead, behind and next to themselves. Xinya caught up with lting Snow and pushed him behind him, "Let lead."
"Alright." lting Snow said, moving a step behind him.
Xinya opened up the map and zood in on their location, the map showed the entire forest and the monsters and plants within. While looking at the map, he saw that there were so good plants that he could collect here in the forest, but since he couldn't see the plant's exact location plus he wasn't prepared, Xinya decided to co back later. Using his new feature, a swarm of red dots appeared on the map, showing the level and exact location of every monster in the forest.
Most of the monsters he and lting Snow could handle, but there were few that, if they were not careful, would be able to kill them and, unfortunately, they were in the direction they needed to go. Sighing softly to himself, Xinya began walking while lting Snow closely followed.
"It will take us around 3 hours to exit this forest, maybe 4 if sothing happens. We need to be on our guard and speak softly as not to attract any attention from the monsters." Xinya whispered.
"Okay." lting Snow quietly said.

They had been following the map, and everything was going smoothly, so far there hadn't been any real trouble, one might even say they found a lot of benefits while walking through the forest. Every ti a monster got near they would make a detour and find a plant or a fruit tree that Xinya had to stop and collect from. One ti, when they had to bypass a monster, lting Snow tripped over sothing that turned out to be a gemstone, worth at least 20 silver coins. Although lting Snow wanted to share the coins with Xinya, he told him to keep it for himself.
By the way, they were going, Xinya thought for sure that they could make it out of this forest without having to fight a single monster. It wasn't until 2 hours later, when they were a mile away from the exit, that Xinya realized how wrong he was. He should have known that nothing would be that easy, especially for him.
Rubbing his forehead in annoyance, he turned to lting Snow and whispered, "There's a monster stalking us."
"I already know." lting Snow replied.
"You know? Why didn't you tell ?" Xinya asked.
"It's my beast senses, I didn't say anything because I didn't sense any aggression from it. It feels like it's more curious than anything."
Xinya did notice that lting Snow had been acting weird from ti to ti as they were walking. He would oddly look around as if searching for sothing, or he would ready his swords as if sothing was about to attack him, Xinya didn't see any monsters on the map when these things happened so he just thought that lting Snow was acting a little jumpy, because of his fear of the dark.
"Next ti, tell , please," Xinya said, a little aggrieved. "I wonder why it didn't show on the map."
Sheepishly, lting Snow rubbed the back of his head, "I'm sorry, but since it wasn't making no move to attack us, I didn't deem it as important enough to tell you."
"It's alright, but it must be stalking us for a reason," Xinya replied.
Xinya went back to check the map, they were about ten feet away from the exit, Xinya was about to tell lting Snow when the monster from before started moving towards them quickly. "lting Snow, get ready. The monster is quickly coming our way!"
lting Snow readied his swords, looking every which way but not seeing or hearing anything, "Where is it?"
Xinya really didn't know how to answer lting Snow, because one second the monster was running towards them and then, the next second, it completely disappeared. The monster was circling them, appearing and disappearing. For a mont, Xinya thought that maybe the ga had a bug, but then he caught a glimpse of it before it disappeared again. That's when he realized what was happening, there was only one skill that lets a monster disappear from the map.
"Oh shit!! lting Snow, the monster has 'Hide'." Xinya quietly yelled at lting Snow while pulling out a potion.
Hide: is a rare skill that only a few monsters have and sothing a few players can obtain. The skill allows a player or monster to beco invisible, although they cannot attack in that state, they will be able to sneak up on their enemies while having another skill ready. In the PVP arena, it's the most overpowered skill to have.
