He didn't dare to truly fall asleep, so he leaned against the stone wall, pretending to rest.
As dawn broke, a tremendous crash echoed from the mountains several hundred meters away. Trees splintered and fell, as if a giant beast was rampaging through the woods, sending birds scattering into the air.

Xu Yang snapped awake from his feigned sleep as if zapped by electricity. Zhuang Tao, who had been sitting at the mouth of the cave, had already flashed out of the Fire Cave.
"They've made their move!"
