From the skies, the rain loudly fell, the sounds of the rainfall against the tree made a loud sha sha noise On the surface of leaves, many raindrops accumulated and slid off the leaves
In this rain covered forest, the lands had turnedthe skies in a faint darkness, only the occasional thunderbolt illu thunder in the skies reverberating across the night
In the depths of the forest, hidden in the darkness was a sroup of ht to the Wu Mountains, yet there are many of them
As the thunder flashed ripping apart the skies, with the instant illuht with it you can see that on one of the le person

Laying thereh his features seemed delicate, a scar was cut across his face
His eyes were shut as a large number of wounds covered his body Under the rainfall his wounds had already turned white, yet no blood flowed out
This rain continued to fall even after several days elapsed before finally weakening, revealing the clear skies once ht returned
As it was summer now, after the rain stopped a thickall the creatures in its heat
