Chapter 126 Book 3 Man-Beast Horde
The cold mountain wind whistled through the towering pines, rustling the dense undergrowth of the forest near the mountain pass. Moonlight cast eerie shadows upon the ground, dancing in the flickering torchlight held by the scouts from Xian Town. They had been stationed in these woods for weeks, monitoring the activity of the rumored man-beast horde. For days, nothing out of the ordinary had occurred—until tonight.
One of the scouts, Wei Jiang, had recently broken through a crucial stage in the body refining technique. His veins coursed with energy, and his body felt indomitable. The newfound strength filled him with confidence, and as the eerie silence of the forest was shattered by heavy footfalls, a fire of excitement ignited in his chest.
