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.
As he was thinking about this, Fiona noticed something moving from the corner of his eyes.
Looking in the direction, Fiona swiftly noticed that the girl hiding not far away from him was moving slowly.
Then, he saw the approaching Yates family members, and he quickly understood what was going on.
The lady’s hiding spot was just between him and the Yates family members.
Hence, based on that, the Yates family members would pass by the woman’s spot before finding Milos.
‘Will she suddenly jump out and expose my location?’ Fiona’s heart sank.
If she were going to do that, he would need to prepare in advance.
He flipped his wrists, and two smoke balls appeared in his palm, and the other hand was holding the sharp Water-Breaker Machete, hiding it among the leaves.
With just a light swing, Fiona could make a life-threatening cut.
The Yates family members were getting closer to that lady.
Three kilometers…
One kilometer…
Five meter…
Three meter…
One meter…
Fiona saw that the closest Yates family member was about to step on the lady’s ear.
‘Can she even endure that?’ Fiona could not help but be impressed by the lady’s endurance.
At this time, Fiona noticed that the Yates family member seemed to have realized something was wrong with the pile of leaves in front of him, so he quickly stabbed it with his knife.
Swoosh!
The blade light was like a silver snake as it immediately poked between the leaves.
Fiona’s heart was beating out of rhythm.
That woman did not even flinch!
However, the Yates family member appeared to have missed the lady as despites stabbing deep into the fallen leaves, and there was no trace of blood oozing out. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Unfortunately, the man saw recently dried blood stains on the dried leaves on the ground.
His face instantly lit up, and he turned to Sean, yelling, ”Here!”
Just as he uttered the first words, the pile of leaves underneath him rustled and suddenly burst.
A figure leaped out.
Fiona could see clearly that the lady might appear dirty, and the clothes she wore were utterly ragged just like a homeless beggar.
However, she was not old at all, and she looked about 15 years old.
The lady leaped high, sending her long hair flying.
In an instant, her thin body released a terrifying explosion that caused Fiona to breathe.
Swoosh!
The young lady swept her leg across the air like an iron whip.
With a thunderous bang, the Yates family member’s head exploded.
Then, red and white fluid was sprayed out.
The Yates family member’s yelling also abruptly stopped at the same time, and time seemed to have stopped suddenly.
Fiona noticed a string of tiny bells around the lady’s slender and fair ankle, but when she leaped into the air and swept her feet at the man, the bells did not make any sound.
‘True Martial Realm, fifth stage…’ Fiona uttered through gritted teeth as he looked at the lady.
“Over there!”
Next, Sean shouted.
His voice was just like rolling thunder, and everyone could hear him.
“Surround him!”
