"Really." The elder Beastman took a sip of water, "Recently, the Big Boss personally went to the Divine Hall, and after returning, he announced the cooperation. The Hand of Creation sent people over, saying it’s to assist in the pursuit."
"The Divine Hall is involved?" Someone gasped, "What exactly are those two, to warrant such a grand setup?"
"Their background doesn’t matter." The elder Beastman tightened the water jug cap, his voice lowering, "What’s important is, the Big Boss is determined to claim their lives. The Hand of Creation has also spoken, best to capture alive, but if not possible, killing them on the spot is also fine. Anyway, those two cannot leave Eris Star alive."
"Tsk tsk..." The Tiger Clan Beastman shook his head, "That female is also unlucky, offending the wrong people, and ended up crossing the Big Boss and the Divine Hall."
"Alright, alright, let’s stop chatting about this." The elder Beastman stood up, stretching his muscles and bones, "Rest up while you can, we still have to travel before dark. The main force will arrive in the next few days, we have to first figure out the terrain here."
The squad quieted down, with only the sounds of chewing and drinking water.
Shen Tang listened from the shadows, her expression darkened.
Lu Xiao squeezed her hand, silently exchanged a glance, to go?
Shen Tang shook her head, her gaze landing on Bai Lei.
Bai Lei sat in the corner, not saying much. She held her knees, with only half of her nutritional drink consumed, her eyes somewhat dazed as if lost in thought.
The elder Beastman noticed her, frowned, "Bai Lei, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been distracted all the way."
Bai Lei snapped back to reality, shook her head, "Nothing, just a bit tired."
"If you’re tired, have a good rest, there’s still a tough battle ahead." The elder Beastman’s tone softened, "You, a female, following us rough men around is not easy."
Bai Lei tugged the corner of her mouth, without responding.
Shen Tang looked at her, with a slight sigh in her heart.
,
After resting for about half an hour, the squad tidied up belongings and prepared to leave.
The Tiger Clan Beastman stood up, stretched lazily, "Let’s go, let’s go, while it’s still not dark, explore further ahead,"
Before finishing his words, he abruptly froze.
"What’s wrong?" the lanky one asked.
The Tiger Clan Beastman didn’t speak, his gaze fell on the corner, where several pieces of fresh fruit peel lay crushed, the pulp still moist, the juice even yet to dry up.
He slowly crouched down, picked up a piece of fruit peel, sniffed it under his nose.
"Fresh." He raised his head, his eyes changed, "Just eaten not long ago."
The squad’s atmosphere instantly froze.
The elder Beastman’s face sank, his hand pressed onto the weapon at his waist, "There’s someone else here."
