「The next day.」
The early morning sun shone into the cave. After a night's rest, the world was brimming with life, and the faint, sweet fragrance of plants and trees wafted to the young man's nose.
"Yaaawn..."
Hong Yu stretched his back and opened his eyes.
'I slept incredibly well last night!'
"The calm after the storm? Looks like today will be a good day to hunt Desolate Beasts!" Hong Yu smiled faintly and walked out of the cave.
He washed his face at a nearby pool, hastily ate some dry rations, and left the valley.
Last night's storm had raged for a long time, its destructive power terrifying. Flash floods had even erupted in several places, submerging large areas in mud. Hong Yu darted through the dense forest with the agility of an ape when suddenly, without the slightest hesitation, he lashed out with a whip kick to his side.
WHOOSH!
The kick was immensely powerful, creating a sonic boom that seemed to tear through the air.
