The perception range has reached its peak and cannot look forward a little further. However, no matter what happens, it is not the time to practice or sleep. No matter what comes, it is no longer safe. Even if it is just an ordinary mercenary passing by, Sharon's appearance is enough to be a reason for their misfortune. Even if it is worn by a mask, it cannot guarantee anything.

Retracting consciousness, the energy is still circulating in the body, and it is impossible to withdraw from the meditation state. Fortunately, the energy of the body entering is no longer as irreversible as it was at the beginning. Time does not wait for anyone, and there is no way Lu Chen can only forcefully reverse the operation of the energy and try to force them back to the black gem to end the meditation.

"What are you doing, idiot, don't you want to live anymore!"

The mean words of loli appeared in his mind immediately. Lu Chen's consciousness was like being hit by something, and the energy reversal stopped before it even began.

"Help me quickly, someone is coming, maybe it's an enemy." Although the words were not nice, Lu Chen knew that this loli must be very strong, at least he could easily control the black gem and not burst himself.

There was no answer, but a few seconds later, Lu Chen clearly felt that the energy circulating in his body was withdrawn. He didn't care about the arrogant loli anymore, but just as he wanted to get up, a sense of exhaustion hit his mind.

"This is quite light. With the strength of the force, forcibly extracting energy during cultivation will cause physical collapse at any time. Don't try again in the future. If you want to practice with the help of the life stone, you must not be disturbed." The little loli's child voice appeared in her mind again. This time it was the most common thing this voice said, but her tone was still so arrogant.

Lu Chen remembered it in his heart, then shook Sharon sideways, and Alice's thief bird flew away as he turned over.

The girl was completely finished and had no previous vigilance at all. She said in a daze, "Let me sleep a little longer", while putting her head on Lu Chen's chest, and rubbing her to find a comfortable position.

If it were normal times, Lu Chen would have hoped that she would be like this, but now he is not in the mood and can only push her away with a tough attitude.

"What are you doing? They are sleeping well." Sharon rubbed his eyes that he didn't want to open, and complained aggrievedly.

Lu Chen was also a little disgusted. Sharon was a warrior after all, unlike him who could temporarily replace sleep with meditation, but now is not the time to accommodate her: "Someone is here, please put on your mask, help me put out the fire, and wait for a different place to sleep."

Sharon was a little unresponsive at first, and his big eyes flashed at Lu Chen a few times, as if he didn't understand what anyone had to do with her sleeping. Then he suddenly woke up and quickly did as Lu Chen said.

The two of them worked hard and put out the fire ring that had been laid out with sand and soil. Only then did Lu Chen see Sharon wearing a mask.

This time she didn't have the chance to put on heavy makeup, and the effect was very different from before. Even under the cover of the mask, Sharon still looked very beautiful. Compared with his real appearance, it was like an angel who fell into the mortal world and hid his wings. Lu Chen was helpless and understood why she wanted to put on makeup, but he couldn't figure out what the meaning of wearing such a face was.

"That~, my mother said that applying makeup directly on her face is not good for her skin, so the effect of this mask is basically for me to apply makeup." Sharon explained weakly. Without asking, she knew why Lu Chen was staring at her. The same thing happened many times in the academy. The difference was that she only told her to female classmates at that time.

Sharon's explanation made Lu Chen urge to roll his eyes, but the danger of approaching made him unable to relax. He got up and identified the direction a little, then pulled Sharon away.

After running a distance, Lu Chen used the same trick again and released a swamp surgery behind him, Sharon remembered that Alice, the thief bird, did not follow him. Considering the current situation, she did not want to go back to find it, but her face was full of "worry and reluctance". Lu Chen had locked the loli and the thief bird together, but the connection between them had not been found yet, so it must have followed him, without any worries about it leaving it behind.

Then, Lu Chen did not run west, observed the surroundings, and asked Sharon with a little embarrassed, "Can you take me away from here among the trees? No matter whether it is south or north, as long as it is not facing west." If he could, he would never want to do this, but now there is no other choice. If those people really come to them, at the other party's speed, the two of them will definitely seek death if they move westward, so they can only try a detour.

After looking at the vines hanging faintly among the branches, Sharon immediately understood what Lu Chen meant and did not give him any chance to prepare. He grabbed him and resisted him on his shoulders, jumped onto the nearest branch, and then jokingly said: "Hurry up, as long as these vines are strong enough, there is no problem."

Lu Chen was speechless. It was obvious that Sharon was deliberately so rough. He was both nervous and uncomfortable, so he could only endure the discomfort that was turned upside down, tied his hands on her waist, and didn't dare to exert too much force. His blood-filled head was left with indescribable distress.

In his original imagination, the romantic scene where the two of them climbed up a tree together, then hugged each other's waist, each with one hand, holding the vine or lying behind her, could take advantage of all the advantages, but now it has become a sandbag. Not to mention taking advantage of it, it is a blessing to put your belly on her shoulders, and it is a blessing to not vomit it out.

Sharon didn't mind holding his hands tightly on his waist. Although he couldn't see his face, she could already imagine how ugly Lu Chen's expression was, and her face was already smiling happily. For some reason, when she thought of Lu Chen's frowning expression, Sharon felt relieved. It was not revenge, but just a kind of liking. Of course, she could only treat him like this. As for the issue that someone might chase him later, she didn't see the specific situation, so she didn't have the psychological pressure.

The firewood pile was lit up again where the two of them were sleeping. The ten trackers looked at the large area that had been processed with a little amused and crying, and it was the place of the camp. As senior mercenaries, everyone has some knowledge of tracking and can imagine how the target was to rest here. Even some small nobles did not have this attitude when they were outings.

This time, Sel, the best tracking companion, can be explained. Everyone can see that the target has just left, and it should be that the fight with the monster has attracted their attention. However, what is a bit surprising is that the other party is so alert.

Based on the location where the last monster was killed and the time to arrive here, the other party discovered them hundreds of meters away. This distance should only be possible by a magician. However, according to the information provided by the fat man and the information collected in the village, such a mercenary group could not afford to hire a mage, and from the footprints of the target, there was no mage, just the two women and children who were confirmed to be warriors.

Everyone was a little confused, but this question was not very important. They were about to catch up with the target, and there was no need for Dimit to say anything encouraged. They all took the initiative to run with the traces. They were still planning to catch the woman and return to this exaggerated camp to have a happy idea.

But after running quickly for more than ten minutes, ten people stood in front of a small swamp and were at a loss. Even Sel looked at the place where the trace suddenly disappeared with disbelief.

"They cannot disappear out of thin air. The wind element here is also very stable. Most of them hid nearby with special techniques. Everyone searched, mainly on the left and right sides. The other party knew that we were catching up with us, and there was little possibility of continuing to run west." At this time, Dimit had to order this way.

A small-scale search was of course fruitless. In desperation, Dimit had to divide the team into three and continue to expand the search range; while Ser, a five-star hunter, made a request to stay, one to prevent the other party from hiding nearby and waiting for them to leave, and the other was that he was very entangled in this puzzle of vanishing.

After everyone left, Sel squatted in the last footprints of the two of them and thought. The visibility of the forest at night was very low, and he thought of an unlikely possibility: one of the targets had the strength of six stars. So is it possible that in order to confuse the direction of escape, he jumped and took people away with fighting spirit?

Anyway, he couldn't think of anything, so Sel jumped onto the big tree beside him, intending to see from a high place if there were any strange signs around him.

Coincidentally, he jumped on the tree that Lu Chen and the others left. Naturally, he discovered new signs of trampling on the thick branches that could withstand his weight. Looking at the vague vines among the trees in shock, Ser finally thought about how the target disappeared.

After searching, he found a second trampling mark on a tree in the north as he wished. Sel immediately sent a signal to the sky, pointing out the direction of the target's escape. Then, just as he was about to catch up, another strong premonition appeared in his head: the other party might return to the original place.

The traces on the tree are more difficult to confirm than on the ground, and even he himself is not sure to track them. In this way, the most dangerous retracement may become the safest way to escape.

With this conclusion accompanied by a premonition, Sel hesitated for a moment and rushed towards the direction he came without waiting for the others to arrive.

When he wanted to come to a seriously injured six-star warrior and an opponent who was at most a low-level magician, he didn't think it was afraid of it at all. Moreover, even if his conclusion was wrong, it would not affect the tracking of others.

—————————————————————————————

The flash suddenly appeared in the night sky, and Lu Chen also saw it. Without guessing, he knew that it was a signal from the opponent who discovered their traces. He didn't dare to bet that they would find the wrong direction. After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen made a move and simply asked Sharon to turn back in another direction.
