Though Snow Ant Bees were the smallest of these beasts, their instincts were the keenest. Several Snow Ant Bees flew silently toward Chen Mu, their razor-sharp stingers gleaming with an unnerving metallic sheen.
Chen Mu suddenly sensed a hint of danger. His mind was as still as water, and the scenery around him seemed reflected on a tranquil lake, so clear it felt almost unreal.
His perception had always been somewhat different from everyone else's. It was not particularly sensitive to energy fluctuations, but it could always detect physical objects easily and keenly.
These Snow Ant Bees, for instance.
They used the leaves as cover, their pure-white bodies difficult to distinguish amid the snow blanketing everything, yet Chen Mu spotted them with ease.
Having witnessed the power of their stingers, he dared not underestimate them in the slightest. He glanced at Mota. These Card Adepts were all fighting with bloodshot eyes. Had they forgotten he existed?
The thought merely flashed through his mind before he focused on the Snow Ant Bees silently approaching him. He had to deal with them now, and without making too much noise. Otherwise, he would likely attract not only the Card Adepts' attention; the beasts would not let him off either.
I'm the chief culprit, after all!
Chen Mu hid behind a thick tree trunk. The tree before him was roughly eight meters in diameter, easily concealing his entire body. His perception remained firmly locked on the Snow Ant Bees. Clearly, they intended to ambush him!
Suddenly, Chen Mu climbed the tree with the slippery agility of a gecko. Visibility among the branches was poor, the dense leaves blocking his view. In terrain this complicated, an ordinary Card Adept's perception was of little use. At times like this, they could rely only on their eyes
