Famous pointed to a slightly larger sand dune in front of them, meaning that the smell was very fresh. Fina was likely to be on the other side of the sand dune, but since she'd left without saying a word, perhaps she did not want to meet with everyone. Thus, if she knew that everyone was coming, she was very likely to run away again.

Zhang Zian turned off the flashlight and made a gesture, indicating that everyone was to scatter against the direction of the wind to prevent Fina from having the opportunity to escape.

The elfins chose different paths and silently made their way to both sides of the dunes.

Zhang Zian's goal was obvious. However, it was not easy for him to stay hidden. He had to rely on the dead branches lying around to act as a cover. Without any flashlight to aid his movement, his actions appeared slightly clumsy compared to the elfins'.

His only advantages were his height and field of vision. He stood behind a dead tree and looked at the dunes through the branches. When his eyes finally adjusted to the lack of light, he first saw a few bright eyes, followed by their respective outlines.

The first figure's outline he recognized was Fina's. Although it was very dark and the figure was the farthest away, based on his intuition, he knew that it was Fina.

Fina stood on a slightly higher sand dune and looked at the other pairs of eyes.

What surprised Zhang Zian was that the other pairs of eyes were also those of cats, but not domestic cats. At least, they weren't domestic cats in the modern sense, but some kind of wild cats similar to domestic cats.

Were these cats the ones that Nabari had encountered?

Fina said impatiently, ”Don't follow me. Go back to your own life.”

She turned and walked a few steps, but upon looking back, she saw that the other cats were still following her.

”I do not intend to live here. I just...came back to see that all of you have a good life. I am now relieved by the knowledge that this is indeed true, so go back,” Fina said.

But no matter what she said, the cats continued following her.

Fina coldly looked up. ”I still have other things to do and don't have time to play with you. Don't follow me!”

With that, she took a bow, accumulated strength in her legs, and ran deeper into the Devil's Sea, apparently wanting to get rid of these cats.

However, just at this moment, she could sense something amiss. She stopped and asked, ”Who is it? Who is hiding there?”

”Oh, you left without saying goodbye. I missed you very, very much.” Old Time Tea emerged from the darkness, and behind the respectful attitude, he was determined to block Fina's escape route. It would take a lot of effort to get past him.

”Is there more than one of you?” Fina was very annoyed and started to scan the area. With a glance she saw Zhang Zian, who was hiding behind the dry tree.

Zhang Zian knew that he couldn't hide anymore. He stood up with a cheeky expression and greeted Fina. ”Haha! Fina, you also like to sleepwalk!”

The other elfins also ran out of their hiding places. The wild cats hurriedly turned around, frightened by the sudden appearance of humans and other animals. They did not know where to go.

Fina looked at them and said, albeit a little too proudly, ”Do you think that this will stop me?”

She glanced fiercely around and was ready to forcibly break through the group.

”Of course they can't stop you, so I will be the one doing so,” Zhang Zian said.
