Chapter 58: A Vanguard’s March into the Tier 3 Wilds.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
The soft trill of birdsong echoed gently through the forest, harmonizing with the golden rays of dawn that filtered through the ancient canopy. Leaves shimmered with dew, and the scent of damp earth mixed with wildflowers wafted lazily through the cool morning air. In a secluded clearing veiled by thickets and crowned with moss-covered stone, a figure stirred as morning light peeled the shadows away.
“Aaaargh…”
A long yawn escaped Lei Feng as he stretched his arms overhead, his lean figure arching above the smooth, bark-polished tree trunk that had served as a makeshift bed. He blinked groggily, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as the forest around him slowly stirred to life.
Then he saw them—and his weariness vanished in an instant.
Curled around him like a protective circle, the Elemental Vanguard slumbered peacefully.
