章節 44: Inferno

A deafening roar shattered the eerie silence of the forest as the cabin exploded in a brilliant flash of orange and red. The shockwave slammed into Zhang Kai, Sun Jingtian, and Lin Feng with the force of a freight train, sending them tumbling head over heels across the uneven terrain.
