NovelGoldChapter 1909
Matthew and Salazar followed the burning smell and soon arrived at a clearing.
There was an extinguished fire in the middle.
Remnants of animal carcasses such as bones and fur were scattered by the fire, and there were traces of blood
on the ground as well.
It seemed that Lord Voodoo and the other two had hunted down a creature and roasted it to fill their bellies.
"The blood has dried up and the fire's completely cold," Salazar remarked. "They've been gone for at least two
hours."
However, Matthew frowned and looked at the forest around them before saying grimly, "But the scent of the
cursed bugs trails off in two different directions." "Two different directions?" Salazar repeated in confusion. "How
could that be?"
Matthew shook his head. He didn't understand why either.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Did they go down in one direction first before turning back when they realized they couldn't continue down that
path?" Salazar said.
Matthew thought about it. "That's possible, but we don't know which direction they took in the end and which
way we need to go in order to chase them down!"
"We can just choose one path. If we chose the wrong one and the scent fades, then we can go down the other
path," Salazar said.
Matthew shook his head. "We can't do that. It would take too much time. They've already been gone for two
hours. They might've managed to leave the forest already. We don't know how far they ran down the wrong
direction either, so if they did travel far before turning back, we would end up wasting a lot of time. The best
option for us is to split up. We can go after them in both directions and stay in communication at all times. If one
of us finds that the scent has died off, then we can just rush over in the other direction. That'll work."
Salazar frowned. "I don't think we can do that. In your current condition, you could deal with one of them, but
wouldn't it be dangerous if you run into all three?"
Matthew chuckled. "They're running for their lives right now and are doing their hardest to flee. They wouldn't
even consider the fact that we might be coming after them. Right now, they're only focused on running as far
away as possible. They wouldn't think about waiting in the forest to ambush me. Therefore, it's unlikely that I'd
run into them while chasing them down. Anyway, even if | did run into them and can't defeat them, | can still run
away, right? | can't stand against all three of them, but it won't be that easy for the three of them to kill me
either!"
Salazar gave it sthought and eventually nodded in agreement.
Just as Matthew said, while he couldn't defeat all three of them, it would be easy enough for him to escape from
them if needed.
"Alright. We'll do as you say but remember this. If you do run into them, don't try to fight them. Run away at
once and senda message. I'll rush over immediately to help you!" Matthew smiled and nodded. "Got it!"
He gave sof the concoction to Salazar. Earlier on, he had already informed Salazar how it should be used.
Salazar took the concoction and ran down one of the directions, while Matthew rushed down the other.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatthew ran for about five minutes when he realized that something was amiss.
The scent of the cursed bugs was weakening as if there hadn't been that many.
It felt strange to him. This was totally unlike what they had encountered all this while.
Previously, the scent they followed had been very strong.
Lord Voodoo was filled to the brim with cursed bugs. There would surely be an overpowering scent of cursed
bugs wherever he went.
However, the scent grew faint on the path Matthew chose. What was going on?
Does this mean that Lord Voodoo didn't take this route?
