"Look there! The savage emerges again! Quite the sight, isn't he?" From a distant vantage point atop a mountain, a group of figures stared in disbelief at Wang Xuan. 1

Who was this man? He wore no clothing, save for a crudely fashioned shorts made from tree bark. Sprinting wildly across the land, he seemed more like a primitive wild man than a civilized being.2

"Clearly an uncivilized native," one of the figures remarked with a mix of amusement and disdain. "He shamelessly roams around nearly naked!"0

"Careful," another figure cautioned. "Despite his appearance, he's proven his tenacity and strength by surviving against all odds."0

The group, stationed in the area, had two purposes: one, to kill Wang Xuan; and two, to continue their quest for precious herbs. "Remember how he daringly hid inside the belly of the silkworm snake? I suspect he might've hidden inside a giant fish in the nearby river to mask his scent and go undetected," one mused.0

"Indeed," replied a man who had once narrowly escaped a threat by jumping into a river. "His technique, the 'Golden Body Art', would allow such a feat. Brilliant in its audacity."0

Their eyes narrowed, imagining Wang Xuan's primitive tactics. "We must hunt him down this time. We cannot afford to let him slip away again," they resolved. The group, now reduced to five members, harbored deep resentment towards Wang Xuan, blaming him for their dwindling numbers.0

"Our team is down to half. We stand no chance against other groups now," lamented one member. "Especially after I spotted the members of 'Feathered Star'. Their leader, a woman, showcased abilities bordering on the supernatural!"0

Another member nodded in agreement, recalling his own hasty retreat after witnessing such a display of power. Encounters between different groups in the outer region of the secret land meant inevitable combat, with one side always facing certain doom. Feeling defeated and outnumbered, their only hope now was to remain hidden near the habitats...0
