Chapter 38 - Silent Assassin

After eating, these people put out the fire with earth before leaving.

After they had walked far away, Maas poked his head out to take a look.

"Phew, what a sensitive boy. I didn't expect him to be able to detect my presence!"

After confirming that the few of them had left, Maas returned to the camp from the side path.

It was already night time. Shirley had been waiting in the kitchen for a long time.

When she heard the footsteps, she immediately came out to greet them. "Why did you only come back now?"

Maas immediately walked into the kitchen, found an empty seat, and sat down. While eating, he said, "When I was setting up traps today, I saw a few strangers."

"They all came from the river."

"Through their conversation, I received some bad news."

"Veronica is actually still alive, and even directly destroyed the northern faction!"

Hearing this name, Shirley's face immediately wrinkled.

"She really has a tough life!"

"So I plan to leave early tomorrow morning, and prepare to go to the south to search for her!"

"Worst comes to worst, I'll wipe her out!"

Shirley immediately leaned towards Maas and pressed her chest against his arm.

"You're going out for the whole day tomorrow. Shouldn't we have a good time today?"

Hearing this, Maas, who had been holding back for a long time due to threats, immediately ate the food in his hand and then picked up Shirley.

The two of them shook the cabin until late at night before stopping.

The next morning, it was drizzling, but this did not affect Maas' journey.

He walked to the kitchen and prepared all the tools, weapons, and food he needed.

Then he picked up the rainproof clothing that was hung on the roof made out of wide leaves. He dressed himself up and left the camp.

Heading south, he crossed the river and soon found a very wide camp.

However, this camp had not been inhabited for a long time. After going in and searching, Maas confirmed that this was the camp of the northern faction.

"What a pity! It's gone so easily."

"I wonder what Keith will think when he sees this!"

After finding a room to rest for a while, Maas continued to head south.

After walking for a few hours, he found a large number of footprints.

On a rainy day, the patrol team did not move out.

Maas coincidentally approached the camp and confirmed the specific location.

He found a high point and started to observe the area.

Rainy days were very unfriendly to detection. All the people were hiding inside the house, so it was even more impossible for a woman to appear outside the house.

Maas tossed and turned several positions before he could see what was inside these rooms.

After many tests, he finally smelled a familiar smell through his sense of smell,

after confirming the source of the smell, he directly found a spot higher than the window and started to observe the inside of the house.

Soon, he saw a man and a woman writhing wildly on the bed.

Seeing this scene, Maas rolled his eyes.

"This woman really f*cks everywhere she goes. It seems that the southern faction will be finished in her hands in no time!"

Thus, Maas took out the bow and arrow hanging on his shoulder and aimed at the interior of the house.

The two of them moved too much, causing Maas to aim several times without success.

Finally, the man lying on top of him finally ended the battle, and Veronica rolled her eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Maas shot the arrow without hesitation.

At this time, Veronica sat up because of the climax, rolling her eyes.

Seeing this, he could only carry the bow and arrow on his back and escape from this place.

The power of the 'Wind Arrow' was extremely powerful. Even if it did not hit the target, the arrow still made a loud sound when it hit the ground.

Bartlett, who had already ended the battle, was already on guard when he heard the sound of air being torn apart.

He did not expect that his final pump would allow Veronica to avoid the fatal blow.

He immediately put on his shorts and shouted at the camp. Then, dozens of people wearing rain gear rushed out of the room to deal with the matter.

They chased after Maas.

Because these people reacted too slowly, Maas had already circled around and ran toward the east.

He was extremely confident in his archery skills but he had lost a little confidence after these two failures.

"Hmm! Is this the will of God?"

"Mm-hmm! You were lucky once or twice. I don't believe that you will be so lucky the third time."

The rain in the sky was getting heavier.

However, Maas did not stop and continued to explore the eastern camp.

After about an hour, Maas felt that the surrounding environment had changed.

The leaves of the trees here had all been shaved clean, and even the scattered plants under the trees had been removed.

"He's actually so cautious!"

Since there was no cover, Maas could not move forward at all.

If he barged in like this, he would be easily discovered by them.

Thus, Maas chose to retreat temporarily and return at night.

On the way to find a shelter for the rain, Maas happened to see a man. Because of the rain, he could not see the man's face clearly.

But the man was very alert. After sensing his line of sight, he immediately ran in his direction.

He ran to Maas, who was standing where he was, purely based on his intuition.

So Maas ran to a right angle and climbed down in a bush.

After the man caught up, he immediately lost his target.

He turned left and right a few times before leaving.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Maas confirmed that the man had left so he climbed out from the grass.

He patted the soil on his body and was prepared to leave this place.

At this time, he did not notice that a pair of eyes were staring at him from a tree dozens of meters away.

The man on the tree was also shocked when he saw Maas climb out.

"You actually hid in that place! No wonder I didn't find you."

The man on the tree stared at him for too long, and soon, Maas, who had gone far away, felt something strange.

"Not good!" After saying that, he jumped down from a height of more than ten meters and hid behind the tree trunk.

He turned his head and looked around, but did not find anything strange. Maas rubbed his head and quickly left the place.

After Maas completely disappeared, the man behind the tree immediately muttered to himself, "I hope we don't become enemies. That will be very difficult!"

After searching for a long time, he still could not find a place to shelter from the rain. Helpless, he could only hide under a wild banana leaf.

Although it could not stop the rain completely, it could reduce the area in which he would be drenched in the rain.
