Night shrouded the land. Dense fog churned across the wilderness, so thick one couldn't see their own hand before their face. Within Maple Leaf City, Fire Springs trickled gently, radiating a soft, hazy glow.
After the sun vanished, people could only survive by "chasing the fire." Relatively speaking, the larger the city, the safer it was.
"Awoo—" In the distance, within the Many-Treasured Mountain Range, a deep, low beast roar carried immense penetrating power.
Even from far away, it shook the night fog and transmitted into the city. Even the armored soldiers on the city walls could see strange insects wreathed in flames suddenly tearing through the darkness, shooting into the sky from the mountain range to fiercely battle unknown strange creatures.
After settling down in the city, Qin Ming walked out of the inn. Hearing the beast roars and seeing a blazing sun rising at the edge of the sky, he couldn't help but open his rebirth eyes to gaze into the distance.
"There are Sun Bugs within the mountain range!"
Few pedestrians on the street looked up; they were clearly long accustomed to such sights. Qin Ming slowed his pace, enjoying the city's night scenery. The roadsides were planted with a different species of maple trees.
