The night in the forest was particularly tough.
That night, Wang Chen never truly fell asleep; he oscillated between wakefulness and grogginess, remaining vigilant throughout.
Although his pursuers didn't show up, the vast mountains hid many wild beasts, which left their nests to hunt for food as night fell.
Perched in a tree, Wang Chen could hear the intermittent roars of beasts, from various directions and distances.
And by midnight, something passed under the tree, but due to the poor lighting, he couldn't see it clearly.
Under such circumstances, how could Wang Chen fall asleep soundly?
It wasn't until the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the gaps in the canopy and onto the forest floor, that Wang Chen climbed down from the tree and, determining the general direction, continued on his way.
Now, he urgently needed to find a relatively safe location to increase his cultivation level.
