One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"Bang!"
Accompanied by flying leaves and clumps of soil.
A fawn, half a man's height, suddenly burst out from the underbrush.
Its four slender legs paused in place, small hooves lightly stepping on the muddy ground.
Eyes as clear as black pearls reflected the image of four adventurers ahead, who were ready for any threat.
A gaze both innocent and foolish.
...
"Crackle!"
Orange flames burned fiercely, with dead branches and firewood from the forest stacked together, forming a small campfire.
In the dimly lit air, apart from the increasingly dense mist, there was also a fragrant aroma of fat oxidizing and protein roasting.
The fawn, lively moments ago, was now gutted, skewered with branches, and placed over the raging flames.
Xia Nan sat by the campfire, leaning against a tree trunk, gently wiping his Beheading Longsword with a cloth.
Beside him, Adeline, having just set up traps, returned to camp, nodding slightly in greeting.
