Chapter 1909


    Matthew and Szar 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''spletely cold," Szar 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?" Szar repeated in confusion. "How could that be?"


    Matthew shook his head. He didn''t understand why either.


    "Did they go down in one direction first before turning back when they realized they couldn''t continue


    down that path?" Szar 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," Szar 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


    the other direction. That''ll work."


    Szar 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 being 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 I did run into


    them and can''t defeat them, I can still run away, right? I can''t stand against all three of them, but it


    won''t be that easy for the three of them to kill me either!"


    Szar gave it some thought 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 send me a message. I''ll rush over immediately to help you!"


    Matthew smiled and nodded. "Got it!"


    He gave some of the concoction to Szar. Earlier on, he had already informed Szar how it should


    be used.


    Matthew 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.


    Previously, the scent they followed had been very strong. Updated at Drаmanovels


    However, the scent grew faint on the path Matthew chose. What was going on?
