The boy and the monster continued to lie down for some more time while the mysterious footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Four... no, five people.
They all were incredibly stealthy, but Zoemi's hearing augmented with the law of Sagitarrius revealed that they were all heavily equipped.
Too heavy for it to be normal for travelers or even a standing army.
Those people must have had a purpose and not a peaceful one at that.
Although that last part was rather Zoemi's intuition speaking than anything else.
Once the mysterious five entered the perimeter of the abandoned camp, they briefly stopped as if confirming each other's position in relevance to the sleeping boy and wolf duo.
"Run."
"...!"
Zoemi mouthed while pressing on Cat's neck and the wolf instantly stood up and ran away, leaving the site and the stunned group.
"What the hell...?!"
"Shut up, the armored wolf is a second-priority target."
One of the unknown people gasped but was immediately shushed by his comrade.
