The hunters of Anfield Village hurried after, finally biting onto the trail of the gnoll fugitives near the Garden Forest.
However, the difficulty in dealing with these gnoll escapees far exceeded their expectations.
A single Mist Spell caused them to become utterly disoriented, and by the time they emerged, they only saw the figures of the gnoll fugitives disappearing into the dense forest.
"Gnoll sorcerers? They don't just have spell-like abilities, they can cast spells too!"
"Damn it, I knew earning money wouldn't be that easy. That damned swindler didn't tell us these gnolls were magicians. Luckily, their professional levels aren't high, otherwise, we would have suffered a great loss."
"No wonder he offered such a high price and insisted on them being alive, that swindler!"
The villagers of Anfield Village stopped at the edge of the forest one after the other.
