In the dead of night, the rain poured heavily, lightning slashed through the dark sky, illuminating the desolate wilderness.
Ou Chenyu, battered and wounded, ran through the rainstorm, his clothes in tatters, shaking off a mixture of blood and mud with every step.
Vaguely visible, the energy core inside him flickered, very unstable.
Obviously, tearing out someone else's core and installing it in oneself as an emergency measure was too rough; many parameters had not been adjusted, issues were inevitable.
But now he couldn't worry about that; as long as he could keep moving, it was enough.
Running, he arrived at a canyon.
The canyon at night was shrouded in darkness, with the cliffs on both sides faintly visible, like the gaping mouths of giant beasts, the roar of waterfalls drowning out even the thunder above the sky.
This place, "Meteor Canyon," is a scenic spot on the outskirts of New Moon City, known for its waterfall with a drop of over eight hundred meters.
