Chapter 93 The Great Hunt 14 (1/2)

After following the group of armed Florans for a while, John was forced to stop because the group had just stopped in front of him and it looked like they were resting.

John stood a few meters away, unmoving, and also observing the group of Florans.

Now that they stopped by an open space, John was able to count the number of members in there.

There was about 6 of them. The leader that was carrying a rifle-looking weapon, 2 other also with guns in their hands, and the other 3 were using close-range cold weapons, a sword and 2 spear users.

John concentrated all his attention on the group, trying to hear what they were talking about.

After a few minutes he realized that they were simply chatting about random stuff.

It have passed about 20 minutes when John was about to get tired from hearing the chat when his ear twitched as it caught a strange sound approaching the group at a fast speed.

The group also heard the noise and they swiftly raised their guards and entered in formation, the leader on the middle, the two rifles behind the leader, and the three close-range in the front.

In no time the creature finally appeared from the tall grass that was surrounding the group's camp.

It was a female Floran.

Her whole body was covered in bruises and cuts, some small, others fairly large. In her hands was a spear, with some green and red liquid dripping from it, it was blood, from both creatures and other Florans.

The group lowered their weapons at the sight of the Floran, so it was clear to John that both sides knew each other and were probably working together.

”What happened to you?” The leader of the group approached the female Floran and helped her stand in her feet.

She was clearly exhausted and badly injured, she wasn't even able to stand properly after stopping.

”We were attacked once we got clossse to the door.” She said after she got time to recover her breath. She turned to face the leader and said, ”You need to hurry...if not the ressst of the sssquad might be dead by the time you get there.”

The leader frowned his eyebrows and asked, ”Your group is very ssstrong, who could make all of you sssuffer sssuch a losss?”

”It's...” Her mouth quivered a little in fear as she answered with some hesitation, ”Nuru...”

His pupils shrunk after hearing the name coming from the Floran's mouth.

The person he least wanted to meet was now attacking members of his group.

Even though he didn't wanted to face Nuru once again, he knew he have to go or else his entire second group would be dead in no time.

”Let'sss get moving.” With a grim face he ordered the people around the camp, the he looked at the female Floran and worriedly asked, ”Are you able to follow usss?”

”It should be of no problem, but...” She hesitated for a moment before speaking with a saddening face, ”In battle I won't be able to do much.”

”Don't worry about it.” The leader dismissively said while patting in her shoulder, trying to light her mood up a little. ”You jussst need to take a gun and give usss sssome assistance from the rear.”

”Okay...” She nodded and sighed in relief. At least she wasn't useless to the group in the upcoming fight.

The group swiftly cleaned up the location and immediately left for the east.

John walked out of the hiding spot and followed closely behind this time.

They went like that for about 3 minutes until John finally was able to see the giant metal door in the distance.

He was about to continue forward when he felt a presence just beside him.

*Whoosh*

John was able twist his waist to the side and dodge the glob of green liquid that was thrown at him.

After stopping his forward momentum, he looked at the side and identified the source of the attack.
