"Flowers flutter in the spring city."
"Snakes and bugs chase 'round everywhere."
"Fear not the demons that come."
"For my Dao boasts divine might."
Humming a tune from his hometown, Yi Chen walked along the mountain path.
This was already his sixth day since leaving Dragon Tiger Mountain, and it had been smooth sailing without any strange occurrences.
To avoid any trouble that might be tailing him, he decided to take a detour through Jiangbei Circuit to Fengyun County, curving around the Daze Prefecture with many snaking twists and turns.
"Hee hee hee, surely with such caution, they couldn't get me," Yi Chen couldn't help but let out a strange laugh amidst the wilderness.
At this moment, a two-meter long over-mountain viper suddenly leapt out from the forest at the side of the mountain path, and, as if possessed, launched a disgraceful sneak attack at Yi Chen's ankle.
However, Yi Chen stood unmoved, not the least bit panicked.
