Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang continued traveling towards the north for another two hours, killing tons of Pest Cats on his way.

Sadly, he hadn't met another Vanishing Snake in these two hours. Now, he was ready for them, and they decided not to show up.

After these two hours, Shang turned around and traveled towards the southwest.

About half the night had already passed, and Shang was rather certain that he would need the remainder of the night to exit the Wild Forest, especially with the added weight of his beast sack.

For the next couple of hours, Shang killed Pest Cats while going towards the southwest, and finally, he also found another Vanishing Snake.

This encounter wasn't nearly as dangerous as the previous one. When Shang had noticed it, he slowed down a bit but kept running. After the Vanishing Snake appeared in Shang's darkness vision, he immediately dropped his beast sack and charged toward it, killing it rather quickly.

Shang killed a couple more Pest Cats before he noticed that he found fewer and fewer of them.

And then, he saw none of them anymore.

Shortly after, Shang came out of the Wild Forest.

As Shang exited the Wild Forest, he saw that the sky in the east was slowly beginning to light up, which meant that dawn would soon arrive.

In front of Shang were lots of fields growing wheat.

'The Farm Line, huh? Seems like I went quite far into the north.'

Shang searched for a way through the fields and continued walking towards the west. For once, he decided to stroll instead of run. He had run nearly the entire night, and he wanted to relax for a bit. Additionally, it had been a while since Shang had walked through such fields.

These fields of wheat reminded Shang of home. He hadn't always lived in the city, and these fields of wheat reminded him of his childhood.

Suddenly, a large shadow appeared beside Shang.

BANG!

Shang jumped to the side with all his power, shaking the ground beneath him.

At the same time, Shang heard the startled yelp of a dog from the shadow as it also jumped back.
