Chapter 301: We Might Have A Problem

“How do they keep finding me?” Reynolds, who was currently hiding in a hole in a tree, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the north.

It has been over six hours since he killed the two young ladies, he had tried to recover his elemental essence, but before he even properly started cultivating, he would sense the aura of the group. At first, he thought they only managed to locate him out of pure luck, but after it happened a second and third time, he knew it was not by luck, they had a way of searching for him.

The thought of waiting to question them passed through his head, but when he thought of the battle that would ensue right after, he decided against it. He could fight against two, but five was too much for him to handle.

He got out from the tree and started heading in another direction.

‘At this rate, it’ll be hard for me to recover. I can’t set an ambush for them since they can sense my location.’ He thought while walking.

After a few moments, he decided it was time to leave the forest. There were still other places he could run to, there was no need to stay so close to the city anymore.

A day later.

Reynolds was currently sitting outside a cave in a canyon, a frustrated look on his face. He had been trying to get away from the group for over one day now, but he still hasn’t been able to escape. Now he feels like there might be something on him that’s attracting them, but after checking himself properly, there was nothing on him that could attract them. He had tried hiding his aura, but it was no use.

‘Could it be that he succeeded but was caught?’ He suddenly thought of Grey.

The only thing he knew that they could use in tracking him was the wooden object that Grey gave to him, which was on the premise that Grey had completed the other one he wanted to make. If Grey had successfully made and was caught by these people, then it was not surprising that they were able to always find him.

‘But, these people shouldn’t be able to catch him. Unless they send people in the Overlord Plane.’

Different conjectures came to his mind, but he couldn’t confirm anyone. He suddenly thought of confronting the group from a considerable distance that he might still be able to escape if necessary.

While Reynolds was waiting for the group to catch up to him, Grey was currently over ten kilometers away with an angry expression.

“That bastard, he was here a few hours ago, why’s he moving so much?’ Grey cursed out in annoyance.

Grey got to Eternal City the previous day after tracking the light here, but when he checked the wooden object again, he noticed that the location had changed. He came out of the city and when looked at where his dot was, he realized it was in the forest at the side of the city, so he followed it into the forest. But before he could even head deep into the forest, he brought out the wooden object again and noticed the light wasn’t there anymore.

He guessed the light belonged to Reynolds since Alice was from a big family which was in a huge city that was on the same level as Lunar City. Eternal City might be big, but it’s not on the level of Lunar City.

He would occasionally bring out the disk to check Reynolds’ position, and every time he brought it out, the position was always different. There was a time he decided to just leave it out while tracking him, but he kept it after Reynolds stopped moving for a while and when he passed through a city.

If people were to see that in his hands, they would definitely be curious about it. He wasn’t bothered about them, but if he were to encounter strong people, then that would be a problem.

‘Why do you think he’s moving so much?’ Void who was perched on Grey’s shoulder like usual asked.

‘I have no idea, but I don’t think it’s anything good. Hopefully, he isn’t in any trouble.’ said Grey.

‘And if he is?’ asked Void.

‘I’ll help him,’

‘If he isn’t?’

‘I’ll beat him up for making me walk so much.’

Void chuckled when he heard Grey’s reply. Although it sounded like Grey was angry, he could sense the urgency from him.

They were currently standing at the exit of a small town, ahead of them was a vast canyon. According to the light dot of Reynolds, he was currently in this canyon, or maybe just after it. They didn’t know how big the canyon was, but from what the traders around said, it was huge.

Grey immediately headed into the canyon, with the disk in his hand, he wouldn’t have a problem with locating Reynolds. He increased his speed to its limit, hoping to catch up to him before he starts moving again.

Two hours later.

A group of five could be seen walking on one of the many paths of the canyon. They were the group who were chasing after Reynolds.

“Johanne,” The leader called out.

Johanne nodded before closing her eyes, trying to find out where Reynolds was located. Since they entered this place, she would occasionally check where Reynolds’ position was every ten minutes, to make sure he hadn’t left the direction they were headed.

“Huh?” She exclaimed softly.

The leader, as well as the others, looked at her when they saw her reaction. After a few more seconds, she opened her eyes. ????????????????e????????. ????o????

“We might have a problem,” She said with a serious look.

“What’s it?” The leader asked.

“I can sense another energy which is at the Origin Plane as well, they’re almost in the same direction, I don’t know which of them belongs to him,” replied Johanne.

“No need to worry too much about it, let’s head in the direction of the nearest one. It doesn’t change anything if we find him first, or later,” The leader said.

The others nodded and started hurrying in the direction of the nearest energy Johanne sensed.

On another part of the canyon.

Grey was currently resting under a protruding rock, using it as shade. His closed eyes suddenly snapped open as he looked in the west.
