Chapter 71 Trail (1/2)

I quietly follow the marks left behind, the person is definitely got injured or injured while fighting the monsters otherwise he wouldn't have left such visible trail.

he or she probably hiding in a secure spot while healing their wound, as I walk ahead it is getting difficult to detect the trail.

He would have recovered enough to hide his trail from the monster but I could see the faint tresses of through my armature eyes.

I did not have much experience in following the trail but I read about it in details and many times put into use while hunting.

Ever since I entered this realm, my refinement had been going very well, I am pretty sure my mana purity would reach 75% seeing how concentrated this world mana is and also because of meat of Corporal grade monster I am carrying in my backpack.

'Grrr' my stomach growled as I thought of food, I haven't eaten anything since morning and there are only two hours till evening.

I can't eat anything despite me and Ashlyn feeling hungry, there are many dangerous monsters are here and I cant relax for any second, even for eating.

”Slice!” I killed the monster, it is Mid stage Private Grade monster, it tried to sneak attack me but I killed it, I have killed many of these monsters as I come across them, I only hide from those who are harder to kill or those I can cant kill.

As I follow the trail, I've come across the small hills and trail just disappeared, there are no signs of broken twigs and crushed, it's like a sign suddenly gone.

There are two ways that could happen, one is either he flew away self or with his monster or he is hiding nearby, l think it's former if he had an ability to fly he would have flown away earlier not walk all the way here that means he is hiding nearby.

I would have shouted if not for fearing the monsters will hear it, I look carefully around me, he may be hiding beside me, this is full of dried shrubs and vines.

I sigh in defeat as I failed to find the person, I am back toward the place which I noticed when I was following the trail earlier, it looks quite safe to spend the night.

I am just walking past the hill when something caught my eye, in the dried vines on the left side of the small hill looked little peculiar than rest.

I activated my sword and walk toward it cautiously when getting near enough, I moved the vines with my sword.

”I am right!” I said, behind the vines is a small cave entrance, the vine is narrow enough that only person at a time could walk it.

My guess was right, the vines around the cave entrance are too dense as it was clearly a mans work, no monster could do this perfect.

”Keep a close eye behind Ashlyn!” I said to Ashlyn as she is resting on my shoulder, ”Chew chew!” she chirped in affirmation.

I light small fireball in my palm while keeping sword activated in other for unseen circumstances.

I notice some human footprints as I walk into the cave and they looked fresh, earlier I was only seventy percent sure but now I am hundred percent sure that there someone inside the cave.

I walk for five minutes before I reach the end of it but there is a problem, its entrance is blocked by a giant rock.
