Leo realized Xiao Xue's unconscious state as he tried to shake her slightly.
Seeing no response from her, Leo had no choice but to run.
After running for some time, he arrived at a deeper part of the forest.
Leo was unfamiliar with the routes, but he continued forward as the ninjas kept chasing after him.
Yes, the two to three ninjas, that weren't fooled by Leo's skill and those who realized that Leo had fooled them after his skill's effect ended, rushed in the opposite direction.
Because of the little trail of blood, from Xue'x mouth and the footprints, they were able to deduct the path which Leo used to escape.
Leo had re-entered the forest and so did they. They had already caught up too, just fifty meters more and Leo would have been caught.
However, that was far from happening.
*ROAR*
Leo felt a shiver down his spine as he heard the ferocious roars of the beasts in the forest.
Plenty of large beast birds flew above him, but Leo didn't stop.
