The feeling of being peeked at was uncomfortable for Abraham, but he was confident that the person was not a Yates family member.
‘What’s going on?’ Fiona took a deep breath in and calmed himself down.
He pretended to be crawling on the floor, but he was looking in the direction that he sensed the uncomfortableness from the corner of his eyes.
At a few glances, Fiona did not notice any problem.
But after staring in the direction for quite some time, he noticed a clue.
The thick leaves about seven meters away from him appeared to be undulating unusually.
If he did not purposely observe it, he would not have realized it.
Then, Fiona continued observing the pile of leaves, and he was sure that someone was creeping under them too.
‘Who’s that guy? Is he also being chased by the Yates family? Won’t that be too coincidental?’ Just as Fiona was puzzled as he looked in the direction, he found himself meeting the person’s eyes under the leaves.
Suddenly, Fiona’s heart skipped a beat.
Those eyes were like an ancient well, and there was no ripple of emotion in them.
Nevertheless, those long lashes already showed that the person was a girl, and she was not too old.
The girl knew that Fiona found her, but she did not seem surprised at all.
Instead, she only moved deeper into the leaves.
At this time, Fiona noticed drops of dried blood on the dry leaves in front of her.
‘She’s injured…’ Fiona was even more curious about the girl‘s identity now.
Perhaps it was because they were both hiding here, but Fiona suddenly felt a tinge of pity for the mysterious girl as they were in the same situation now.
At this time, Sean’s voice came from the top of the hill.
“Something’s up! Continue the search! The guy is just nearby, and he hasn’t gone far yet!”
When he heard Sean’s voice getting closer, Fiona trembled.
Sean was walking toward him.
‘How did he determine my position?’ Fiona’s eyes flashed with cold light as he swept his gaze at the top of the hill.
Not long after, Sean appeared in Fiona’s line of sight with several Yates family members.
Then, Fiona saw Sean doing a weird action.
Sean stretched out his hand, and it appeared as if he was grabbing a fistful of air.
Then, he took a sniff of his fist, and after awhile, Sean confidently shouted, “Yes! He’s nearby, and it’s just within the range of one kilometer.
Search for him carefully! Maybe he’s hiding under a pile of dead leaves!”
Seeing Sean’s actions, Fiona quickly gave it a thought, and he immediately realized what was going on.
‘I get it now! It’s spiritual Qi! Once we reach the Pulse Control Realm, we can sense the essence of the world.
Since everyone is a creature of the world, he’s surely following my spiritual Qi to determine my location.”
At the thought of this, Fiona found a way to deal with it.
As he was currently still a warrior, Fiona could not prevent his spiritual Qi from leaking.
However, he could slow down the blood flow in his body through the movements of his internal organs.
Therefore, it would reduce the amount of spiritual Qi leaked.
Even though Sean might still find him, it would significantly increase the difficulty in searching for him.
At the same time, the Yates family members formed into a fan shape under Sean’s command as they headed toward Fiona’s direction and looked for him.
This time, the Yates family members were searching the area more carefully than the previous ones.
As long as leaves covered the range, they would use the sword in their hands to poke it.
Sean stood on the hillside with arms folded, staring down coldly.
Fiona’s eyes gradually showed a hint of frostiness.
If this did not work, he had no choice but to kill several men and run away using the smoke ball later.
Nonetheless, they must have also been wary of the smoke ball, and if he wanted to break away from them and escape, Fiona might have to pay a certain price.
