Both thoughts and actions are created via wills generated in the soul, Hou's soul had moved out of his body and now needed to control his body by sending wills manually.
"I ...think..we...should..leave.the...hun...hunting..for later" Hou stammered out some words as he tried moving his body, needing to generate the will in the soul and using the connection with his body, send the will over.
"O..Kay are you okay Hou, you don't seem to be movin' right?" Armen asked in worry.
Hou didn't want to waste time answering and flashed a strained thumbs up to him. While he could now control the blood in the inner world easily, he had to relearn how to use his own body.
Armen and his wife ate food from some animals they hunted while on the way. To make sure it didn't spoil, he used his healing fog to slow the meat's deterioration.
Armen had to help his wife and child but he looked back every once in a while to look at Hou. While he had not known Hou for long, they really hit it off with eachother. Hou was doing some strange motions, it was like a child taking their first steps.
Armen was worried but knew Hou was strong enough that he shouldn't be in danger.
Hou practiced for a few hours until he decided this skill was too advanced right now, he would practice it daily and figure it out.
He moved his inner world back into his body and everything snapped into place, he moved fluidly again.
"Phew I'm back, Armen you free to hunt?"
Armen was in his tent playing with his child when he heard Hou's call and handed his child back to its mother.
"Yep I'm ready, let's bring René and Junior on Da, maybe then I can keep up with your pace!" Armen shouted back and considering he had not yet mastered the improved blood doom, Hou agreed and the group set off.
"How many people were there coming towards us?"
"Well I didn't see too well because I didn't want to scare them if with Da, but I used my eye parasites and saw maybe a dozen?"
"Hmm, okay let's hunt enough for at least six tents? If needed people can share with another person? Or should be focus on one large communal tent?" Hou had some experience but his previous towns had much more resources and his gateway ability.
"I think we should just focus on a large public tent, others can use their own for sleeping but incase if rain a public tent is necessary. If there's any skilled artisans in the group we can get better tents made." Armen offered his advice then stopped and pointed.
In front of the group was a small pack of wolves. About half the size and an average human, no monsters.
"Okay René stay on Da and us two circle them?" Hou whispered to Armen, which he then responded with a nod.
The two simultaneously activated their leg parasites and charged out of the forest, ambushing the wolves. The two used the combined power of their enhanced legs and arms respectively to knock back the wolves.
The wolves quickly reacted and formed a circle defending against the two, snarling and barking. Two wolves ran towards Hou and Armen with their mouths wide open.
The two fighters stepped sideways at inhuman speeds and punched the side of the wolve's heads, the power generated by their legs causing a dust cloud to form of their feet.
The wolves couldn't survive against their power and each wolve's necks snapped and then fell to the ground, limp.
The remaining wolves in the pack became aware of their weakness and turned heel. They rushed back and started to run away, Hou wouldn't let this happen though, he activated his petal and spike parasites. Both lased with he condensed blood fog.
As soon as the projected missiles grazed the wolves skin, they all froze like statues and fell, skidding on the ground from their sudden stop.
Hou walked up and using the parasites in his arms, he snapped all their necks to give them peace, he did not feel bad for killing wolves but unnecessary suffering to others was not his style.
All in all there were ten wolves, with fully intact pelts except a few scratches.
"Do you think this is enough? Once stretched they should be good?" Hou knew a bit about everything but was no expert.
"Maybe, let's bring them back and if there's any experts in the group coming to us, they can tell us if it's enough" Armen gave his opinion but René jumped off Da holding Junior, landing in front of the boys.
"Neither of you know anything, this ain't nearly enough! Maybe for a small tent but not for a dozen, we would need another dozen wolves or more!" René scolded the two and they quieted and nodded.
René huffed and shook her head at the men, then turning around the stroke Da.
"You heard the lady, but let's bring this back first and set up the stretching and butchering. Maybe we get the new members to help butcher and tan and stretch? Then while they do that we should go hunt more" Armen gave his suggestion and Hou nodded, it was a good plan, it also gave some order to the new members.
The group all went back on Da to run back to base, Hou decided to join Armen and René this time, instead of flying. Hou retracted his leaf wings and hopped on Da, offering to hold Junior for a bit.
In the wilderness, the dark miasma covered the small caravan's vision, they had seen someone with extraordinary powers fly into town and offer to join him. They were the lowest rung of their town.
Not skilled enough to be professional craftsmen, and not strong enough to fight for a position. They were abused with long hours as payment for protection.
They all convened and decided enough is enough, they would risk it all to venture into the wilderness to join the extraordinary man!
