Early in the morning, everyone gathered at the eastern hillside of the camp as usual, waiting for the Five Clouds Cloth to deliver monster corpses.

As his voice fell, an indistinct force instantly descended upon everyone's surroundings.
Chen Mu, who blended into the crowd, had his face change abruptly and his heart sank.
