Chapter 17 - 17. Human Scent (2)
"There! I feel the scent coming from there," said the man, pointing his index finger at the old hut which was not far from them.
At first glance, the hut was very small.
"Check it out soon!" Elder You ordered several people, then several people immediately headed towards the hut.
"Wait!" a voice stopped their steps.
"What's up with Bai Xue's bodyguard? Elder You said with slightly raised eyebrows.
"Nothing, I just wanted to say that don't act reckless, how about we wait a little while and observe. Don't you think that's very strange? Why is there a human in this forest? What if she is with someone?" Bai Xue said causing several of them to glance at each other. He was trying to buy time for the human girl, he didn't care whether the human was with someone or not, he was just trying to buy some time, wish that human girl could notice their existence and soon leave this forest quietly, even though it was impossible since this forest was already surrounded by several people from all directions.
But who knows, maybe luck could side with her. He realized that his thoughts were ridiculous, knowing that he also really hated humans, but somehow in that human girl, a feeling of wanting to protect arose from within him without him knowing why.
"Elder You, I think that the words of Bai Xue's bodyguard have a point," said someone from the vampire race, although the smell of the vampire race was also sharp, it was not as sharp as compared to the werewolf race.
"Good. This old man apologized for daring to give orders without the consent of Bai Xue's bodyguard. "Said Elder You realizing his position, he was just too excited to know the existence of humans in the forest. Yes, excited to kill her.
"It's okay, now each of us is looking for the right position to observe, and don't forget to disguise your aura, "said Bai Xue then jumped into one of the big tree branches.
Elder You followed, as did the others.
.
.
.
Being in that position for a long time, they still didn't see anything strange.
"Guards Bai Xue, maybe that human is alone, we have been observing for so long but nothing happened, we should check it immediately," said Elder You, who was already on the same tree branch as Bai Xue.
Bai Xue only nodded in response, knowing that there was no way to buy any more time. It's not like he didn't want to help that human girl, it's just that if he took the human girl away from this forest, where would he take her? back to the human race? It was impossible, the group on the east side would know of the existence of that human, and if he brought it to where they came from, it would also be impossible for him to do.
Saving humans and then making himself known as a traitor was not the right choice for him. Bai Xue did want the human girl's safety, but Lord Gu's orders were absolute to him, lying once was enough for him.
Until in the end, he gave up on what would happen next.
Those who saw Bai Xue's bodyguard nodded, immediately jumped down, and landed on the ground.
However, some of them hadn't even touched the ground yet, Bai Xue's voice came back.
"Wait!" said the guard.
Elder You who wanted to make a voice was stopped with Bai Xue's movements.
"Shhh ... someone is approaching," he said in a whisper, placing his index finger on his lips as a signal so that no one would make a sound.
Those whose feet have already reached the ground, jump back into the branches of the tree where they were before.
"Who is it? Does that person have anything to do with that human?" asked Elder You in a half-whisper, but was still able to reach the other ears.
There was no answer, they were just silently waiting for that figure to appear.
.
.
It seemed that several people began to approach the hut, with the help of the moonlight that had managed to escape from the leaves, the figure became even clearer, instantly making them sigh, dispelling their previous alertness.
The figures they saw were teacher Liu and a few more people from the eastern group.
.
.
"I didn't think Teacher Liu would reach this northern part of the forest," a voice stopped Teacher Liu and the people with him, looking away looking for the origin of the sound. It came from Bai Xue's bodyguard who had just jumped onto the ground followed by several people.
"Bodyguard Bai Xue," he said then saluted.
"Our team felt a human scent coming from here, so we decided to check," he added.
After saying that, one by one the groups that had spread in various directions before now appeared, and with the same purpose and that they also felt the scent of humans.
Now, the hut was surrounded from all directions.
"All right ... You guys check!" Since he already had no choice, Bai Xue's bodyguard finally gave orders. He was enough to buy time. Trying to stop them again might make himself suspect, Bai Xue didn't want that to happen.
Several people stepped closer to the hut to check. the sound of the door squeaking was heard, it was very dark inside the hut, even though it was seen that the moonlight had escaped from the leaves and cracks in the hut's wood, but it was not at all able to make them see the entire room in the hut.
someone then gathers the life energy in his hands to become a light.
At the same time, they were shocked, not wanting to believe what they saw.
