“How can a rookie lead and ambush us? Is he deliberately exposed his smell to you?”
Gale’s face was gloomy as he avoided to answer the dark skinned girl’s questions.
“Chasing separately is too dangerous.” Dark skinned girl saw that he didn’t answer so she continued in hesitation: ” The had party had injured the caption. So even if we catch up we may not be able to cope with him. Maybe he wants to break us up!?! ”
Gale thought for a bit then said: “Perhaps there is a way to identify him. Even if he is mixed his smell with the rats so that we can’t track him. But the movement trajectory of rats is totally different from humans. Of course! The rats would be too lazy to run away to the one which is left shall be him…”
He quickly breathed so that he could perceive the smells floating around to the greatest extent. Everything was clear to him now. The smell of rain, moss, stinking undeads, faint smell of decay and everything else were formed into a sensory map in his mind.
It took less than five seconds for him to open his eyes: “Follow me!” He rushed rapidly towards one direction.
Dark skinned girl was surprised: “Did you find him?”
“I’m not sure.”
Both of them soon came to an open square. There was a lot of water in front of it. There were scattered monsters bones, decaying undead limbs, moss and tree branches.
Gale raised his hand pointing to a direction of collapsed pile of rocks. But if you looked carefully, you would find that the place he was pointing to had less mess and lacked rocks.
“He is hiding there!” Dark skinned girl’s eyes lit up. It was a man made place. It was likely that he had prepared in advance to set aside a place to escape to! However she didn’t dare to jump in as if that person was really hiding there then there had to be a trap or two.
She carefully got closer while carefully surveying the surrounding terrain, as well as stone furnis.h.i.+ngs, to prevent an unexpected attack.
Gale followed behind her. He couldn’t do much at this point as his hands were tied. He could count on the dark skinned girl to find the trap!
“There should be a cave! The smell if floating from deep inside! ” Gale whispered in low tone. He was frowning and he was tense.
Dark skinned girl had serious look as she heard Gale’s words. She carefully observed the surroundings. From the injury on Linda’s face they had identified the enemy as an archer. In that case she was confident in close combat. Scouts were definitely better than archers and only worse than warriors and knights at close combat. Of course, she was thinking about open and honest fight.
So as long as she was careful not to give the enemy to attack from the stone heap nothing would happen to them.
Both of them, one after another went over to rock pile.
Dark clouds were rotating over their heads, it seemed the rain was approaching!
“It’s forty meters inside.” Gale used very low voice to whisper.
“No traps.” Dark skinned girl frowned as she was nervous. More she couldn’t find a trace of a trap the more she felt terrible.
When both of them were about ten meters close to rock pile…
Sound of water splash echoed out. But it didn’t came from ahead but from behind!
Both of their body muscles tightened. They looked back almost at the same time.
Whoos.h.!.+
A silver arrow flashed past and hit the Gale’s throat!
Instantly piercing through!
Gale’s eyes went wide open as he clutched his throat. He issued a painful ‘argh’ sound and fell down.
Dark skinned girl’s pupils tightened. She saw the at the square there was a dirty pool which they had dismissed. It was full of all kinds of rot, including undead limbs, rat bodies and so on. A figure had jumped out from inside. It was Dudian.
Hiding in the pool? .
Dark skinned girl’s heartbeat rapidly increased as her body trembled. She saw Dudian jump to the edge of the pool. He didn’t escape but took out arrows and went towards the girl.
She knew that the opposite party was an archer. Because of the distance there were more than hundred ways for him to kill her!
The only chance was close combat!
She believed that the other party should not be an intermediate hunter. Or else he wouldn’t use plans to ambush them but would go for a direct frontal battle as he could easily kill her and Gale. So as the opposite party was a primary hunter like her then she was not without the hope for victory!
Whoos.h.!.+
The second arrow shot onto Gale’s face and his life ended that moment.
Dudian saw the girl was trying to approach him. His face slightly changed as he quickly turned around and run. Moreover, while running he rapidly shot few arrows so that the girl couldn’t catch up to him.
His heart was beating fast. Fortunately, for the last two month he had practiced the basic archery to the limit. His accuracy was good enough to kill the enemy from the first shot.
Whoos.h.!.+
Doudian ran to the rear of a tall building.
Dark skinned girl saw that the other party had dismissed everything to run. She was about to release Gale’s body to chase when she saw that the enemy was shooting arrows. She got scared and raised Gale’s body to resist in hurry. One of the arrows shot into Gale’s chest.
She raised her head to see Dudian head back into a high-rise, but she hesitated to follow after him.
Whether the previous time Linda was injured or Gale’s tragic death, had made her not to be able to see through the enemy. She was not sure that there won’t be another ambush waiting for her at the back of the high-rise. Detecting traps took time so she couldn’t get close to the building when there was an archer hiding inside.
What to do?
She hesitated and was confused. Eventually, she dragged Gale’s body and turned away from the square. She came to its edge and squatted. Later on she took out the smoke signals from the backpack and found the red light smoke. She lighted it to notify the others.
Dudian’s heart was relieved as he saw that the other side didn’t chase after him into the high-rise. However, he had regret too because he had set up traps inside in advance. Nevertheless, the traps that he made wouldn’t be able to kill a normal primary hunter. After all, he had not systematically studied making traps but devised them purely on his on imagination.
“Fortunately, I’m alright.” He leaned against the wall and began to breathe out. He saw the red smoke released from the square and knew that it was a signal. He was aware that he had killed the team member who had the ability to track people. Now they were blind and he could rely on his smell to track them and hide in the dark to attack on the first opportunity.
“She saw my appearance. Although she was in anger, but her character seems like a selfish and cautious person. They shouldn’t be able to track me anymore as there is no way for them to trace me. Unfortunately, Linda’s magic marks are somehow related to blood. Most probably she can control her body’s blood. In that case the undead’s blood smeared on the arrows wouldn’t infect her. ” Dudian’s eyes flashed as he made fast calculations.
