As the standoff between Richard, Zara, Kai, and Victor reached a tense standstill, the fog around them seemed to grow heavier, cloaking them in an eerie silence. The mountain air hung still, thick with the weight of the confrontation. Richard’s hand was still on his blade, his mind racing, trying to figure out how this all fit together. Victor, the Dawn Brotherhood, even the mysterious figure of Raiden—they were all competing for the Xan Ling herb, but they were still not the true players in this dangerous game.

The words from Tian Jun echoed in Richard’s mind, "The herb chooses its heir". But Richard hadn’t expected to learn the truth in such an unsettling manner.

Raiden, the imposing figure, had just stepped in to stop Victor, but now his large frame seemed out of place in the growing tension. There was something unsettling about his presence—a quiet, predatory kind of calm that made Richard uneasy. The look in Tian Jun’s eyes had shifted from one of wise contemplation to something

    The path had become steeper, the forest thicker, as Richard, Zara, and Kai followed Tian Jun deeper into the mountains. The fog, which had clung to the trees and rocks earlier, now enveloped them completely. Their steps grew slower as the terrain became more treacherous, with uneven rocks and slippery moss underfoot. Richard, despite the fatigue from the journey, remained focused. He was certain they were getting closer. The Xan Ling herb was within their grasp, but something about Tian Jun's manner had changed.For the past several hours, Tian Jun had been moving with purpose, barely speaking except for the occasional piece of advice or cryptic comment. Richard had learned to take his words with caution, understanding that Tian Jun had a wisdom that was both deep and unsettling.But now, they had come to a stop. Tian Jun’s figure stood motionless at the edge of a narrow, rocky pass, his face calm, almost contemplative, as he stared into the dense fog ahead.Richard looked around, con

    With the Dawn Brotherhood retreating into the mist, Richard, Zara, and Kai caught their breath, their bodies bruised but alive. The giant man stood silently, his massive form looming over them. He was older than Richard had first assumed, his face weathered and his body covered in scars that told stories of countless battles.“Thank you,” Richard said, his voice hoarse from the fight. “You came just in time.”The giant grunted, his gaze scanning the forest, still on alert. “You’re lucky I was nearby. The Dawn Brotherhood is a dangerous group. I wouldn’t trust them if I were you.”“Who are you?” Zara asked, her tone cautious but curious.The giant’s lips curled into a grim smile. “I’m Tian Jun.”Richard’s heart skipped a beat. This was the man they had been searching for—the man who knew the way to the Xan Ling herb.“You’re Tian Jun,” Richard said, his voice filled with awe and respect. “We’ve been looking for you.”Tian Jun nodded slowly. “I know. You’re not the first to come seeking

    Zara, ever alert, noticed the subtle change first. “We’re not alone,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I’m picking up movement in the trees.”Kai, who had been scanning the surroundings since the beginning of the trek, immediately tensed, his posture shifting. “There’s more than one. They’re trying to get ahead of us.”Richard’s eyes narrowed. More than one? This wasn’t supposed to be an ordinary mission. Other people were seeking the Xan Ling herb, too.It wasn’t long before the sound of footsteps echoed through the mist. The group instinctively moved closer together, Zara and Kai ready to spring into action, while Richard’s hand instinctively rested on the hilt of his blade. They weren’t sure who was out there, but one thing was certain: they had competition.Suddenly, from the thick shadows of the forest, a group of masked figures emerged. They were dressed in dark robes, their faces obscured by hoods, making them appear like phantoms in the mist. They moved with the silen

    The journey had been long and arduous, but Richard, Zara, and Kai were close. They had crossed rough terrain, climbed steep hills, and navigated through dense forests. The further they ventured, the more isolated the world became. It was as if the earth itself was conspiring to keep the Xan Ling herb hidden from all but the most determined seekers.After several days of travel, they finally reached the base of the mountains, where Tian Jun’s village was rumored to lie hidden. The village was shrouded in mist, the tall peaks above creating a natural barrier between the outside world and this secretive place. It was as if the mountains themselves were guarding the secret of the Xan Ling herb.But as Richard and his companions approached the foot of the mountains, they began to sense a shift in the air. Something felt off. It wasn’t just the looming presence of the mountains or the thickening fog; it was the feeling of being watched.Zara, ever alert, noticed the subtle change first. “We

The man’s movements were sharp and deliberate, his confidence betraying a keen awareness of his surroundings, but despite his careful nature, Richard knew he had to stay on his tail. The only way to get the information they needed about the elusive Xan Ling herb was to follow the trail—no matter how winding it might be.For the better part of an hour, the trio shadowed Vargas through the crowded city streets, ducking into alleys and weaving through the maze of people without attracting attention.
