Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1909

Matthew and Salazar followed the burning smell and soon arrived at a clearing.

There was an extinguished fire in the middle.

Remnants of animal carcasses such as bones and fur were scattered by the fire, and there were traces of blood on the ground as well.

It seemed that Lord Voodoo and the other two had hunted down a creature and roasted it to fill their bellies.

"The blood has dried up and the fire's completely cold," Salazar remarked. "They've been gone for at least two hours."

However, Matthew frowned and looked at the forest around them before saying grimly, "But the scent of the cursed bugs trails off in two different directions."

"Two different directions?" Salazar repeated in confusion. "How could that be?"

Matthew shook his head. He didn't understand why either.

"Did they go down in one direction first before turning back when they realized they couldn't continue down that path?" Salazar said.

Matthew thought about it. "That's possible, but we don't know which direction they took in the end and which way we need to go in order to chase them down!"

"We can just choose one path. If we chose the wrong one and the scent fades, then we can go down the other path," Salazar said.

Matthew shook his head. "We can't do that. It would take too much time. They've already been gone for two hours. They might've managed to leave the forest already. We don't know how far they ran down the wrong direction either, so if they did travel far before turning back, we would end up wasting a lot of time. The best option for us is to split up. We can go after them in both directions and stay in communication at all times. If one of us finds that the scent has died off, then we can just rush over in the other direction. That'll work."

Salazar frowned. "I don't think we can do that. In your current condition, you could deal with one of them, but wouldn't it be dangerous if you run into all three?"
