In the third year of Great Xia, on the eighth day of August, during the night.
On the north bank of the Xing River, more than twenty kilometers east of Five Ape Mountain.

The vast majority of the team were wearing Hundred Forged Level Lei Kui Golden Armor, carrying strong bows capable of thirty stones of strength, wielding various weapons, while only a dozen leaders wore the regular dress of Great Xia.
Although the rear of the team largely maintained silence, the dozen at the front were chatting leisurely as they walked, clearly not on a hunting trip.
