Chapter 92 The Great Hunt 13 (2/2)

From time to time John would encounter those slug-like creatures that would spat a ball of acid at him.

Of course he was able to easily dodge and outrun them since they were just too slow to catch up John as he swing from one towering tree to another.

But even after so much time spent searching, he found no tracks of other Florans, a giant door, or any different type of creature other than the Snaunts, Batongs and White Demon Spiders.

Feeling slightly tired, John decided to stop and take a rest for the moment.

He had just stopped when his ears twitched as they captured a rustling sound not very far from him.

”Florans?” John hid himself behind a tree trunk. He closed his eyes and listened careful for the sounds.

”Footsteps.... bipedal creatures....” John was able to hear the sound of a single living being with only two legs. He was able to identify that it was a bipedal because he was only able to hear two feet from the creature, no more than that. ”It's Florans...” That was the only logical conclusion for John.

Retrieving the bow from his back, he carefully notched an arrow, held his breath, and slowed down his heart beat, completely erasing his presence.

He carefully looked over the tree trunk and glanced at the approaching Florans.

They didn't slow down a bit from the moment he felt them until now, that could possible mean that they haven't discovered that John was in the premises.

Once the Florans showed themselves, John couldn't help but stare.

The Florans were moving in an organized manner, like a proper army squad. They had a menacing and threatening atmosphere around them as they carefully analysed the surroundings with their guns.

Different from the usual guns that usually most of the people of the universe use, the guns in the hands of Florans were made using a mixture of wood and metal.

Of course the wood was not the same as the everyday wood they use, but a rather stronger and resistant one, with a grayish coloration that matched with the slightly dark color of the metal that used on the gun.

”Sssir...” One of the Florans that looked like a soldier approached the male Floran that was on the forefront. ”The door has been found. From the information we got from our ssscout, it ssshould be just eassst from our current location.”

”Let's get moving...” The apparent leader of the group said in a serious tone. ”I don't want to face Nuru in a direct combat again...the faster we get of here, lesser the chance of meeting her.”

Once they finished speaking, they immediately left.

The moment he was sure that they were far away, John emerged from his hiding place.

”East...” John looked at the direction they left and mumbled to himself. [Looks like I have my destination now.]

John stood on his spot for a few seconds, waiting for the distance between him and the group enlarge a little more before he started heading east as well.
