April 22nd, before dawn, when the forest was shrouded in a blue-black twilight, Chen Zhou awoke from his sleep.
Sleeping in the open wilderness while still clothed, although the climate wasn't cold, he could never relax like in a cave.
If it weren't for Lai Fu guarding, his vigilance would have been even stronger, waking up at the slightest rustle.
He brushed off the bugs crawling on his body, picked up the long-handled axe beside him, slowly stood up, rubbed his sore back and shoulders, and went to look at Lai Fu.
It lay on the ground, forelegs stretched out, in a posture resembling the Sphinx around the pyramids. Its head initially rested between its two forelegs, but upon hearing movement, it immediately lifted its head, its soft ears striving to perk up, turning to look at Chen Zhou.
Woof~
It barked softly, its eyes no longer as spirited as they were yesterday.
It was clear that after guarding the whole night, it was somewhat fatigued.
