A sense of danger could be felt by them, and they got ready for whatever was about to come.

'Those mud beasts I fought back on the spatial plane with that indigo woman… they were also animated using some kind of energy.' The more he thought about it, the more he was sure that all these kinds of beasts had some link to each other. "I'll need to see what that energy is first." Lin Mu muttered to himself
