Thud, thud, thud~
Heavy, hurried footsteps rang out through the forest.
Every time Roshi's foot came down, it burned a charred pit into the ground, and any flowers, grass, or trees nearby were instantly set ablaze.

Looking at the layer of Lava Armor covering his body and feeling the scorching heat radiating from it, Qian frowned deeply, with no intention whatsoever of making contact with him.
