Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1181: Finding William's Traces

Instead, their numbers kept growing like there was no end for that. In the end, Fang had to return back as he couldn't figure out how to kill these monsters.

When anyone saw this from above, he'd see a grand storm of monsters coming towards Fang from everywhere, like locusts. Fang returned back to the cliff and was ready to continue the fight, but nothing happened.

Monsters just retreated the moment he got on top of the cliff. They seemed to fear something, and that made Fang heave a sigh of relief.

"What the hell is this place? Is it cursed?" he couldn't help but ask, and his words brought forth another wave of laughter.

"You just went down there without even asking anything about these monsters," Thomas was the most enjoying all this, "stand aside, grandpa, and watch how we'll do it."

"..." Fang was about to snort again, say something mean and rude, but he recalled what he experienced down below and decided to keep his mouth shut and watch.

And then he saw how the team of youngsters managed to kill these monsters efficiently, without even suffering a single damage.

William's friends were together for a long time, and they developed some tacit understanding towards each other. Even the newly joined ones like Anjie and Lara had no problem in integrating with the team and got mixed in the tempo.

As the team had previous experience in dealing with the monsters here, they easily walked through hordes of monsters, killing their way, while taking breaks in the middle of the ruined city.

Fang grabbed the idea behind their tactics quite fast. And soon enough, he started to kill monsters faster than anyone else.

"Stay here and rest, I've just started warming up," he said after ten hours of fighting inside the ruined city streets. He was impatient again, as he wanted to regain his image in front of the youngsters.

"Wait… That old man is quite fast to run," Sara was about to stop him, but she was half a beat later than Fang.

"He is quite impatient," Thomas shook his head as if he was watching a naughty kid creating trouble everywhere, "he totally forgot why we are here, tsk."

"Tell me u got the trail of our boss," Lang looked around, "he can't be here, so where is he?"

"Perhaps he is here but those who came didn't search well enough," Berry said, while giving Lara a side glance. Even if the girls got a common enemy, Anjie, they still had their friction and differences.

"Hmph, I sent high end masters, and they won't fail to search far and wide for him," Lara snorted, accepted the challenge of Berry with calm demeanour, "on top of that, they are well aware of the city, know every spot here."

"He isn't here," Thomas suddenly said, putting an early end to this repeated and common clash between the girls, "I saw him going to a certain spot, then his trail ended there."

"Ends there… Like vanishing?!" Anjie asked in doubt, and Thomas slowly nodded.

"Don't ask me, he is the boss, and he always does things differently," he shrugged, "but my karma technique won't lie, he went there, and vanished."

He pointed towards a direction, one that wasn't that far away from the hill they came down from. They were around five kilometres away from it, but they knew such distance would take them hours to cross.

"I scanned that area, and I found traces of battle left there," Sara said, and others nodded.

"It's the usual leftovers when he fights," Lara bitterly smiled, "it's a shame they missed this glaring sign, like the rest of us."

"We got Thomas," Berry pointed at the young man, "we are different from your shitty team."

"..." Lara glared back at Berry, yet she didn't start this fight again. She knew her team failed to miss such obvious signs, and they weren't to be blamed. After all, it was common for masters to fight against monsters, and such leftovers would be normal to find.

Yet what was different was how condensed the killed monster's parts were. They also held traces of how William used to fight and kill his enemies, a thing that only his friends and close up team would recognise.

"Shall we go now?" Thomas ignored such useless debate between the girls, as he and other males got used to this unending cycle of conflict, "or wait for him?"

"He won't stop until killing all of the monsters here, good luck with that," Lara snorted when she looked at Fang. The latter was lost in his battle against the monsters, as if he was enjoying doing this, or venting his rage for his earlier failure over these monsters.

"I say we move," Ro agreed, "let's go, and he'll follow us eventually."

Ro was right. The moment they moved out from that safe zone, Fang spotted them at once. "These kids… Where are they going?"

He indeed forgot all about why they were here in the first place. And soon enough, he recalled why they came down here, not to kill monsters, but to find William.

"They found him?" he questioned this in his mind, unable to accept that they found him, and he couldn't. He spread out his spirit sense again, and yet he couldn't find anything remarkable or unique at first.

Then after a couple hours, he guessed the direction they were heading towards. After all, the team fought like a solid rock, crashing down from the top of a mountain over the heads of the monsters. And yet they never changed their direction, heading straight towards one way.

"These marks… They resemble what that youngster left before at the past battles," Fang didn't fight alongside William except once at the last expedition, and yet he was able to link the battle traces to William.

"Yet… There isn't any safe zone there, there isn't anywhere to hide. And the traces end around that small hole, don't tell me he is hiding underground?!"
