Xiao Chen rode southward, his speed akin to flying lightning. He was taking a risk with his actions. If successful, he would obtain seven powerful Fire Seeds, but if a mishap were to occur and he was noticed by the awakened Giant King, it could lead to absolute disaster.
The ten elite warriors led by the Giant were out to encircle Xiao Chen. Three of the warriors had already been slaughtered by Xiao Chen the night before. The remaining seven elites were now heading back towards The Giant City. Although they were all powerful beings, their speed couldn't surpass that of the fastest warrior in the region, the Giant King, hence they lagged behind.
The starlight flickered and the moonlight flowed like water, the world of the dead truly "awakened" at night, with most Fire Seed Creatures preferring to roam during the night.
Looking around, across the plains and the wildlands, the firelights blinked inconsistently. These were the Fire Seed Creatures, weak or strong, out on errands.
