75 Ch 75 | Crypti-Rose (2/2)

Carefully wrapping the roots around with some soul and using some paper to cover the small shrub completely, he carefully packed it up in his sack.

Only when everything was done, he got up and moved away from the infected place with the pollens, after he successfully moved away, only then did he uncover his mouth and nose.

Huff…

He took in a few deep puffs of fresh air and then lifted his face to look towards the direction his teammates went. But to his surprise, the way ahead was just filled with trees and shrubs.

”F**k! Did I lose my way?”

He cussed. There was no man made path ahead of him nor were there any tracks left on the ground. Obviously no one went ahead of him. He came towards this direction, thinking that this was the direction where everyone went. But, supposedly he was wrong and he took a wrong path while he ran towards after picking up the plant of 'Crypti-Rose'.

He turned back towards the direction he came from and pondered for a while, 'Should I return back again?'

Considering his current strength, if he is captured by anyone else, he'll be beaten up badly, so it was best for him to return and reunite with his team. But, given his current image in everyone's eyes, he also considered not going back.

He was in a situation where one has two paths to choose between, the first path leads to hell while the other path still leads to hell!

Not knowing what to do he stood still and thought for a great while.

'Ok, I'll just stay low and will move on my own.' Weighing all pros and cons of both the options in his hands, he decided to not go back and just stay alone.

If he joins them again, he won't be able to search freely and he can't bear to see the disgust in their eyes again.

And after making up his mind, he didn't wait for too long and fluently used Devil's Walk and decisively disappeared into the woods ahead, in the search of some new ingredients. The target he came here for.
