Given that Honey Shadow was mostly active at night and shied away from light, it made sense that it could not display any aggression under the blazing sun.
Li Xian first took a few steps away from the wall, then slowly followed its curve forward.
Moving through this "swamp" was exhausting. Whether he pushed his legs through the Honey Shadow or "pulled" an entire leg free before stepping forward, it took considerable effort. Under the blazing sun, a thin sheen of sweat soon formed on his body, and an inexplicable irritation stirred within him.
Li Xian focused more of his attention on the "trek" underfoot and failed to notice the emotion creeping up on him. He rolled his sleeves up twice and pushed through the resistance for a while longer, but as far as he could see, there was still nothing but a black ocean.
There really was a terrifying amount of Honey Shadow here... Who knew how long it had taken to accumulate into this knee-deep swamp?
Li Xian had no intention of giving up just yet. He rallied himself and continued forward. A few minutes later, he felt his toe bump into something.
At first, he thought it was merely the usual resistance, but after pushing harder, he distinctly felt that he had touched some kind of object. Li Xian frowned and immediately pulled his foot back.
That feeling just now seemed like...
He hesitantly bent down and reached out to confirm his suspicion. Seeing this, Ji Xie extended a tentacle, sinking it into the Honey Shadow first and probing toward the spot Li Xian was reaching for.
After a series of sticky tugging sounds, the thing was slowly dragged out.
Because Honey Shadow clung readily to objects, all Li Xian saw at first was a black outline.
