The sun sets in the west.
Looking at Xuanhe Village bathed in the afterglow of the sunset from afar, Chen Yuan finally let out a long breath: "Finally, almost home."
This forest patrol took quite a long time; setting out from the farm yesterday morning, and only returning this evening.
After all, this was Chen Yuan's first solo mountain patrol, unfamiliar with the route, compounded by the numerous unexpected events encountered along the way.
A snack party by Crescent Lake, a nighttime wolf chase, and checking out that strange forest this morning—it all took a lot of time.
Chen Yuan pressed his slightly sore and swollen thighs, looked back at the rolling hills under the setting sun, and mused, "It would be great to have a mount."
The mountain paths were rugged and uneven, with many sections full of gravel, and the constant uphill climb wasn't easy.
It would be great to have a Pet Beast that was adept at traversing the mountains.
