Li Bai kept on running without looking back. Since he was familiar with the terrain, he could easily throw off the enemy's scents. But no matter how fast he ran, he failed to get rid of the pesky owl above his head.
The latter clung to him like sticky candy. The owl practically served as a feathery Global Positioning System for his enemies. And it would not leave no matter how hard Li Bai tried to scare it off. Naturally, the bird wouldn't get too close to him that could ensure its safety. Too bad Li Bai didn't have any long-range weapons. All he could do right now was to flee in embarrassment. At times, he even had to run into others' homes.
Both Li Bai and his enemies shared a common goal—none of them wanted to alert the residents living in this area. Li Bai only entered houses that their owners had still not returned from work.
