A fine, dense drizzle fell, quickly washing the bloodstains from her body.
The path ahead was pitch-black and the ground beneath her was slick. A combination of the pain from her wounds and the icy rain left Liang Wan stiff and numb, yet she dared not stop for even a moment. She staggered deeper into the forest, one unsteady step after another.
She was no stranger to this mountain. To make a living, she had often come here to dig for medicinal herbs and forage for mushrooms to sell. Inevitably, she had run into terrible weather like this before.
There was only one road down the mountain; fleeing that way would be walking right into their trap. She had to find another path. Unfortunately, the curtain of rain obscured her vision, making it difficult to find her bearings. Liang Wan could only press forward in one direction, relying solely on instinct.
"I told you to watch her! Now she's gone!"
