Jen heaved a sigh, she made her first kill very carefully, now it was time to move for another. She clearly knew that she cannot kill them all and burry in the depths of snow so it was her plan to make use of every opportunity, this was the only reason that she took this risk to enter in the caravan.
The purpose to request the protector was that the hunters would be forced to find another exit and according to the custodians it would be most difficult task for anyone with lesser means of survival even if one has all possible means one cannot defeat the frozen basin and cross it alive.
So Jen thought to use this Frozen Basin in her plan to kill the hunters, in case the upper sphere tried to reach the hunters it would be difficult and suppose if they reached then it would be considered late and only hunters would be blamed for this choice.
The caravan was moving with the same pace, other than the sudden death of a hunter there was no more bitter incident.
"What kind of place is this, there is not single direction which could be taken as a plain route," Jen shook her head, there was snow everywhere and the constant snow fall make it more insuperable.
She was speaking to get the attention of the hunter walking beside her, without throwing stone she cannot make a splash in the water so it was better to keep as much stones as she could have to keep the water splas.h.i.+ng.
"It seemed you are pampered by the leader of dark region else the hunters usually face untenable situations like this," the hunter who was among the trusted of the Omega answered her, there was little mocking in his tone and Jen knew why he mocked, it was all fault of her frail body which still look shaky despite wearing layers of thick clothes and big warm cloak.
"I am not pampered, I have killed many with my own hands," Jen disgruntled to show her annoyance and she was not speaking lie.
"If you not pampered then why wearing this ultraposh cloak?" it was true her bearing was questionable for everyone, but most of them were not given chance to speak it out, the whole group got attentive to listen what excuse this pampered hunter would give.
"The leader has strictly order to follow the normal ways to not look suspicious, since I was looking for the caravan I have to buy this clothing so that cultivators don"t get curious," Jen shook her shoulders.
It was struggle to behave normal like other hunters and also save her half face from the snow because her double disguise would reveal if the snow fell few time directly, it was suggested by the genius custodian.
When she was ready to move toward the underground Vale, the genius custodian pointed biggest flaw in her disguise and it was half visible face, it was necessary to keep the half face visible but what about the black lips and vaguely appearing veins, it was what the half face of the hunter look like.
As soon as the custodian pointed this flaw, Jen got worried, how could she blacken her lips and pop out veins, thanks to the genius custodian who perhaps was an art fellow in the previous self, they went back to find a herb and with some tricks, they were able to get the final touch of the disguise.
Keeping this backstory in mind, Jen don"t want to ignore a single detail.
"So it"s like this," the hunter immediately understood the reason why the leader gave this order and other hunters also shook aside their suspicion.
When the first these hunters were sent by the upper sphere, they were close to five hundred in numbers decades ago, slowly number decreased because many were killed by the stronger cultivators who happened to save the supreme legends or they were annoyed by hunters.
Now this number barely cross hundred and after Jen killed five to six hunters, this means it fall back from hundred.
When they were large in numbers, they divided various regions and Manias among themselves to carry the order, later the Omega started sending in groups as soon as they were able to get news about supreme legends, only the leader of the dark region was able to create his strong hold without arising any unwanted attention.
After some time when everyone forgot about the death of the hunter, Jen was ready to trap another, this hunter seemed trusted by the Omega and he was following Omega closely.
"The caravan is big, I have a suggestion, someone should remain at the rare and better remove the signs of footsteps from the snow," it was true, when the first group moved from the snow it created steady signs of someone walked and after all the group trampled the same snow, it created a visible path for anyone could take notice of it.
The suggestion was no doubt great.
If the guardian beasts and protectors could not find the caravan after following for some time, they would leave but if they found a whole path to follow behind then it would bring trouble.
"I should believe, you have quite sharp mind," the hunters in the group were praising her for pointing this serious matter.
The trusted hunter heard this and went to tell the Omega, according to the hunter who brought the news about protector, the enemy must be looking for them and in this case they should not leave clue behind.
"It is necessary and you should immediately go back and make sure to clear off every visible sign of our path," the Omega instructed the hunter.
"Wait there," Jen came forward and stopped before the hunter could go back and complete the orders.
The hunters got a little curious why this hunter came behind to stop, Omega also heard and looked toward the pampered hunter.
