He patted Sakai on the back: "Let's rush ahead again. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. I refuse to believe they can keep avoiding us just by luck!"
However, there weren't many suitable places for drawing "footprints" along the way. They couldn't find any more ambush locations, and by late afternoon, Suladar gritted his teeth and said to Sakai, "Never mind, let's gamble on luck. Set up an ambush randomly at a spot ahead of them. As long as one of them from the Fourth Great Realm steps into it, we'll consider it successful."
Sakai actually wanted to give up already and try again tomorrow. After drawing footprints twice, he was still exhausted. Another round and he felt like he would become thinner.
But since Suladar insisted, he could only choose a flat area and delineated as large a range as possible.
