Elder Lawrence may not have succeeded in stopping Irving and the others, but he was not overly disheartened. After all, ahead of them, he had prepared even more traps.
"Just keep moving forward; I've set plenty of traps ahead for you! You will definitely fall into an irretrievable predicament," Elder Lawrence muttered to himself as he watched the direction in which Irving and the others had disappeared.
With that, Elder Lawrence transformed into a shadowy figure and vanished from sight.
Irving and his companions, of course, did not hear what Elder Lawrence had said. They were currently moving at full speed along the main road.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they passed through the sparse woods and emerged onto the grassland. At this moment, Irving turned back to look toward the direction they had originally come from. He suddenly realized that Elder Lawrence had already disappeared.
