The Land of Chasing the Sun.
Ji Chen skimmed low over a forest of dead trees, Mental Force supporting him as he glided a dozen meters above the ground.
His figure swept over the treetops, startling a flock of Iron-Beaked Crows.
One of the crow monsters, frightened, was just about to flap its wings and take flight.
