The group sat resting in a clearing on the hillside.
"I just don't know if the Giant Toad will return to its nest today or tomorrow," Deng Guang muttered to himself. "At its speed, if we wait until it's already on its way back to leave the Gated Community, we might not make it in time."
Li Yue pondered for a moment before saying, "It'll be either today or tomorrow."
"Isn't that obvious!" the others rolled their eyes.
Wang Yun said, "I checked the number of mayflies in the river this morning. There are basically none left, and there aren't many mayfly corpses on the water's surface either. Given the Giant Toad's appetite, it's very likely today."
Yang Cunshen said, "It's most likely today."
As they were talking, a faint but distinct sound suddenly came from the foot of the mountain, striking their hearts like a heavy hammer.
"DONG."
The familiar sound made Qin Ziwen jump to his feet.
"It's here!"
He could feel his heart pounding.
