Chapter 40 Green Lock Dragon

```

Boom!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the vast forest below, but it was just a moment before darkness engulfed the area once again.

Soon after, the heavy rain poured down.

Countless raindrops fell on the leaves and branches, forming a continuous sound of rain like a symphony between heaven and earth that masked all other noises.

The animals and monsters in the forest instinctively hid in their dens to avoid the rain, most no longer venturing out.

But four figures were advancing through the darkness.

Before nightfall, Ji Xinghuo and his team had taken advantage of the enemy's delay to rest well for a few hours. Though they hadn't recovered to the peak of their physical state, the fatigue was gone, and they were fully spirited, ready for a full-fledged battle.

The team retraced their original route, searching for traces of the Forest Patrol Clan.
