"Baobao..."
He staggered towards the cave, suddenly his knees buckled and he collapsed onto the ground.
Struggling to get up, but unable to swallow food for days and sleepless at night, his body was already severely depleted. If not for his extraordinary will, he would have collapsed long ago.
Even so, by today, he was running on empty.
"Baobao..."
He extended his hand laboriously, as if trying to grasp someone, but the world before his eyes grew darker. Eventually, his arm fell limply as he sank into a boundless stupor.
Elsewhere...
The expressionless man in black was fighting a fierce beast in the mountains, his lips chapped, his complexion jaundiced.
His aura was grave, his demeanor serious, preferring quick, decisive action even if it meant exchanging injury for injury.
"Get lost——!!"
With a kick to the beast's chest, he moved on impassively, not minding the beast lying on the ground, howling in pain, as he strode away swiftly.
