"Chapter 46: Entering the Mountain
By the time Xiang Kun arrived at the village, it was already past eight in the evening.
Originally, Xiang Kun planned to investigate the tree mentioned in the post that evening, to confirm if it was the Giant Owl he saw. He intended to ask the driver who brought him here to wait, and then find a hotel in the nearby town to rest for the night before heading into the mountain to search the next day.
But after it grew dark, Xiang Kun changed his mind.
He had suddenly discovered that his visual ability had drastically improved, or rather, had mutated at night.
Under dim light, he could actively switch his eyes to a new visual mode which is like adding an extra "lens" to his retina. The darkness surrounding him became crystal clear in an instant. Even clearer than the images he saw from night vision devices in movies or on TV.
