NovelEnglish792 Deception
All of a sudden!
Ten turned his sharp gaze on the rest of the team.
“What did you say?!”
“N- nothing...”
“Pits, tunnels, and water?” Ten gave them a stern look. “How can there be water underground?!”
Everyone was astonished and enlightened.
That was right. On a stormy night like this, the temperature had dropped so dramatically. All water should have frozen!
“Where?!” Ten bellowed.
The other team members jumped at his voice, but then realized what was wrong.
Without hesitation, Seven led him to the spot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Here!”
They searched in unison and found a small opening underneath.
After some digging, they found what they had been searching for.
The opening of the tunnel had smooth edges and was wide enough for just one person. The water had already frozen into ice.
But Ten frowned after touching the ice. “It hasn’t been frozen for long! Feng Wu’s scent is here and very fresh!”
The others exchanged looks of embarrassment.
“This is the spot where I detected water.”
“This is the spot where I detected water.”
–
Several team members spoke in turn.
The team leader’s face went livid!
Because if they were to draw a line through all the spots where they had detected water, they would find a long tunnel running from south to north.
Still unconvinced, the team leader went up to one of the spots and dug down.
And there really was a tunnel!
“Feng Wu was right here.” Ten stared at the snowdrift in the center of the area.
And they had been talking by it.
That was to say, Feng Wu had heard everything they said!
“We must find her and take her out! Otherwise, our employer will be exposed!” The team leader’s eyes glinted. “If we can’t kill her in Proud Snowfield, we’ll be facing damages too high for us to pay!”
He stared at Ten as he spoke.
For Ten really had the ability to locate Feng Wu.
Ten narrowed his eyes. “She hasn’t gone too far.”
Move!
The team set off as soon as they could.
With the tunnel made from her fire and ice energy, Feng Wu was able to get away from the area. Once she was over a kilometer away, she jumped out of the snow and began to run.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuckily, under the cover of night and the snowstorm, visibility was very poor. One couldn’t see a thing a kilometer away.
Once she was out of the tunnel, Feng Wu quickly erased all her tracks before running in the direction of Zone 1.
She had no idea who sent those men in black, but she was alarmed by their skills in searching and tracking.
Feng Wu pulled out a sledge and quickly slid away across the snow without leaving a trace.
The team known as “Blade” arrived at the scene shortly afterward!
Ten led the team and he pointed at the hole. “Here is where the target went off-grid again.”
The others exchanged looks of bewilderment.
“The target was able to escape from us when we came at her from all directions, which says a lot about her capability and intelligence. We need to be more careful,” the team leader said in a stern and alarmed voice. He then turned to Ten. “Which direction?”
Ten specialized in tracking. He went down on all fours and snuffed around, then lifted his head, looking confused.
Everyone looked at him in bewilderment.
The team leader frowned. “Can you not find her?”
Ten shook his head. “I can detect her scent in three directions.”
The team leader said, “There are only four directions in total and you can smell her in three?”
Ten looked as displeased as his leader. “The target has realized we’re tracking her. She has excellent counter-reconnaissance abilities and she’s trying to throw us off-track with deceptive tricks.”
