He could hide calmly and hit back even under numerous attacks. We underestimated him in the beginning, Matthew said with a serious face.
"I think his greatest advantage is the powerful bodily movement skill he has mastered," one of the men who fought Austin earlier said.
"He can appear from nowhere in the jungle with his bodily movement skill," he added.
"No, because he also has two mysterious spiritual weapons. They appear divinely and vanish demonically without any trace," the other one objected.
Then he added," And, judging from my experience--they're at least middle-grade spiritual weapons."
"Middle-grade spiritual weapons!"
The other men had greedy expressions upon hearing Matthew's words. It was rare for a cultivator of the Energy Gathering Realm to have a low-grade spiritual weapon, of either level two or three.
Even only a few cultivators of the Earth Realm had middle-grade spiritual weapons.
Now, nobody expected Austin had two middle-grade spiritual weapons at hand, and that would surely make others envious.
"The five of us should stick together. We'll hunt that boy together, and we'll join forces to attack as soon as we find him. I don't believe that the Blood Wolf Team can't defeat someone at level seven of the Earth Gathering Realm," Matthew hissed.
The rest of them nodded eagerly in obedience.
Meanwhile, Austin had calmly escaped from the clutches of the two members from the Blood Wolf Team. He had injured one of them, which worried Matthew. It seemed that Austin was quite a formidable foe.
If news spread that the Blood Wolf Team failed to kill someone at level seven of the Energy Gathering Realm, their reputation would be ruined, and the five members would have no place in the team.
Moreover, Austin had two middle-grade spiritual weapons. If they could kill him, they would get these rare weapons.
Thus, Matthew prioritized Austin's capture.
He even decided to merge with four other people--he really took Austin seriously.
"The guy has mastered the high-grade bodily movement skill, and he's very sensitive. The two of us hadn't approached him just a while ago, but it looked like he knew.
Now that he knows that we are tracking him, I think it's hard to find him again."
However, Matthew thought differently.
"Huh, don't worry. He can't escape from me," he sneered.
He waved his right sleeve, and then three tiny creatures jumped out.
The little critters let out small squeaks as they ran and sniffed the ground.
They looked like mice, and Matthew smirked as he observed them.
They were soul-chasing mice!
The other four members were delighted when they realized where the mice came from.
"Matthew, you've brought the soul-chasing mice here."
"Be at ease. We have three demonic beasts--soul-chasing mice. Austin will never escape from us."
Matthew snapped his fingers, and the mice seemed to obey an order. They carefully sniffed around the ground where Austin previously stood.
After quite a while, the three mice stopped smelling and rushed quickly into the jungle.
"Alright, now we just have to wait. I have a mental connection with these mice. They will alert me as soon as they find Austin," Matthew slowly said.

In an ancient forest at the outer ring of the Grand Desolation Mountain
Austin used his Wind-commanding skill, and one hour later, he was more than ten miles away from the jungle.
However, he stopped after he had reached the ancient forest.
As of the moment, Austin felt happy when he ran fast while his every step covered ten meters.
During the battle, more than ten outer disciples were brought by Billy and Austin was able to kill one third of them. Later on, the other disciples disappeared from the battle. He thought it must be because they got scared, they opted to just run away.
It was safe to say that he had solved the problem of Billy's people.
The rest of them were Marvin's group and the five members of the Blood Wolf Team.
Austin wasn't confident enough to fight these two groups, so he avoided them for now.
He decided to toughen himself and improve his strength first, so he could come back to fight after.
Although these two groups wouldn't give up in searching for him, he believed that his spiritual sense would cover a range of four hundred meters, and it would be easier for him to evade his enemies with the Wind-commanding Skill he had further mastered.

Austin took out the map of Grand Desolation Mountain from his Space Ring and laid it on the ground.
Marked on the map were each place where diabolic beasts lived and their respective levels.
He then carefully checked which diabolic beasts he could deal with for now.
After a long while, Austin put the map away and looked to the far east. "Okay, I will start in this direction," he muttered.
He then performed the Wind-commanding Skill and quickly set out.
He had chosen the place to hunt according to the marks on the map, avoiding areas where high-level diabolic beasts inhabited.
