The chaotic sound of footsteps echoed from the stairwell behind them.
A family of three cautiously made their way onto the rooftop. Seeing Qin Ziwen and the others already there, the family quickened their pace and retreated to the other side of the roof, keeping their distance.
A little girl, held tightly in her father's arms, pointed a small finger at the moving "mountain" below. Her voice was a mixture of fear and curiosity. "Daddy, that frog is so big!"
"It's... it's coming this way," the girl's mother said, her voice trembling. "Honey..."
As the pillar of the family, the man swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm as he reassured them, "Don't be afraid. We're high up. It can't jump this high."
Hearing their conversation, a thought suddenly struck Qin Ziwen.
'If this Giant Toad is the mysterious monster from the cave, now that it's come down the mountain, does that mean the cave no longer has a Guardian Beast?'
