A low hum echoed as the jeep rolled slowly over the ancient gray stone bridge, coming to a stop on the right.
Beneath the bridge lay a nearly dried-up black river, flanked by dense grasses that grew taller than a person.
A gentle breeze caused the grass to rustle softly.
With a click, the car door opened.
Yu Hong stepped out, carrying a club behind his back, and began surveying his surroundings.
Suddenly, a familiar call broke through the fog not far away.
"Aong!"
Annoyed, a grating sound emitted from Yu Hong's helmet.
"Another multi-eyed bird."
He took off his club and turned his head toward the direction of the sound in the sky.
After a few quiet seconds, a massive white shadow suddenly shot out from the mist above.
The shadow moved swiftly, darting straight toward Yu Hong like an arrow.
Just before it could reach him, he swung his black wolf-tooth club and struck it squarely on the forehead.
Like a baseball, the creature had no time to react before the tremendous force sent it crashing, its large head exploding on impact.
Its body then flung sideways, colliding against a nearby concrete building near the bridge.
Yu Hong slid the club back into place.
