On this quiet yet perilous night, the Military Statistics members were on Eagle Beak Mountain, keeping a vigilant watch over their surroundings. Huang Guangyang, in particular, strained his ears to catch the slightest sound. Suddenly, he picked up a faint but increasingly distinct buzzing drone. The sound seemed to drift slowly from the depths of the far-off horizon, carrying with it an indescribable sense of mystery and menace. As it drilled into his ears, he was instantly alert.

However, there was only the endless dark and the silent forest; the trees stood like mute sentinels, hiding everything in their shadows and offering no clues.
Just as he was filled with doubt and tension, he inadvertently looked up at the moonlight-drenched night sky. At that sight, his eyes widened, and his expression froze in shock and disbelief. Under the cold moonlight, a black shadow was flying toward them at extreme speed.
