"We all know the best thing we can do now is to look for a way out but how can we when there are so many of those Corpse Pavilion disciples?” asked Dwight helplessly after looking at the map.
Then he gestured at the circled location which was where they were. "There are no other hiding places in this vicinity apart from this cave. The only place we can go is this cliff over here but chances are we'll die if we scale the walls there so we might just as well wait here."
He became despaired after saying that.
Dwight was not the type to easily give up when things got tough but this time, he obviously realized they had been backed into a corner. Although they were still safe for now, he was not exactly sure for how
long more.
Suddenly, Fane's small defense array board let out a red glow. He quickly put down the map and went over to the board to perform some hand seals. The glow changed to white and a moving image floated above the board.
They instantly recognized the place they were looking at. The place was about a hundred yards away from the cave and the moving image showed twenty or so people in a horizontal line walking toward where they were. The man in the middle of the line was wearing a strange mask. The mask was made of bone fragments and blood-red runes were written all over it.
Jed shot up from the ground when he saw that person. "He's the spring-solidifying level fighter!"
Their enemies were getting closer and this
made Fane's heart clench while his expression darkened. The man with the mask was holding a blood-red rope in his hand and a monster, measuring about half of an average human's height, was tied to the end of the rope.
The monster looked like a dog but was much more ferocious than a normal dog. It had only one eye but the eye was the size of a palm and its pupil was giving off a red glow.
"It's a cyclops canine!" said Fane with a knit of his brow.
The cyclops canine is the final stage of the innate level monster. However, this monster is weaker than the average final stage of innate level monster and is very popular with humans. A lot of martial artists like to keep one or two of them as pets. The Clan associations, as well, like to
keep a group of them, for they would come in very useful especially in times like this.
Jed's lips twitched. His expression was extremely frightening to look at and his breath became very haggard. "They must be looking for someone! Who could it be?"
Although a cyclops canine would not win in a fight with other monsters, he can find a person based on the fluctuations of his true energy. With his palm-sized eye, he can find the traces of that person within a certain range by relying on the remaining true energy fluctuations of a person. This was also the reason why many Clan associations favored having a group of canine cyclops as pets.
Their blood ran cold the moment they saw the cyclops canine. Then they saw the masked man take out a piece of cloth and hold it in front of the cyclops canine’s eye. The huge eye released dark red runes, and the runes flickered in the air as if they were attracted by the cloth, and began to hover and float on the small piece of cloth.
Dwight's face turned dark, and he quickly turned to look at the still-unconscious Albion. "That’s from Brother Albion's undershirt! He accidentally ripped it during the fight with them. I’m one hundred percent sure about this!"
