Chapter 16: Chapter 16. Human scent

The evening light slowly faded replaced by the moonlight that was getting brighter and brighter. Even though it was not as bright as the full moon that had passed, it was enough to be a path light for those people who were currently walking towards the forbidden forest.

They were Bodyguard Bai Xie, Elder You, Teacher Liu, and a few others. Before entering the forbidden forest, they formed several groups with members each consisting of six people, they were representatives of each race, the goal was that the search they would do would not miss any places and that it was done in the shortest possible time. Entering the forest, the atmosphere is very different, the moonlight is blocked by several thick leafy trees, so that it looks like a neat line of black shadows.

A gust of wind blew slowly caressed everyone's skin, forcing the hairs of their necks to wake up from their sleep. The atmosphere is very quiet and there is no sound whatsoever. Only the rustling of the leaves in the night breeze with the sound of footsteps breaking the dry leaves filled the silence.

The seven groups that had been formed now split up following the group leader they had previously determined. Tonight is going to be a very long night.

Bai Xue's guards were on the same team as Elder You and several others, they started their search from the north, while the other six groups started from the west, south, and east.

Each group has members of the Fairy race, a race known to be able to control plants, use the roots of vines to take those without wings in the direction they have set to begin tracing.

Everyone felt anxious and scared at the same time, what if they met a black magician?

But what those people thought was very different from what Bai Xue thought, and so was how he felt.

Bai Xue had been feeling his heart beating very fast, the feeling of worry and anxiety made his whole body go limp. Although several times denied his thoughts that worry was not directed at the human girl back then. But it was true, somehow he did feel that he was really worried about that human girl.

"Is Bai Xue's bodyguard okay?" a sudden sound made him startled, he stopped his steps and then lifted his head which turned out to be he just stared at the tips of his feet which were stepping slowly without realizing it. His gaze turned to those who had already walked a few steps a little away from where he was, and the voice came from Elder You.

"Ah yes, I'm fine Elder You," Bai Xue replied and then stepped his foot and tried to reach the position of those people. In his heart, he could only hope, that the human girl had stayed away from this forest.

"Great if so."

It was not without reason why Elder You asked such a question. It was all because, since earlier who knew how many times he had seen Bai Xue's abnormal expression, his eyebrows sometimes wrinkled clearly and then returned to normal, like someone who is going through an inner war.

Bai Xue, who had almost reached the position of several people standing not far from him, suddenly stopped his footsteps again, his heart was beating very fast, his blood rippled, a scent entered the tip of his nose and managed to make his chest tight. Bai Xue had strength that surpassed all of them, it was not impossible if he would be the first to be sensitive to the surroundings. Although the scent was very faint, it was clear to him that the scent he was inhaling was the scent of a human.

Think about what it would be like if someone you had saved their life had ended up in someone else's hands? In the end, all of his previous hopes were suddenly useless.

"Is Bai Xue's bodyguard okay? We have no problem if we have to continue on our own, we just don't want to trouble Bai Xue's bodyguard to continue leading this group, "said Elder You looking back at Bai Xue's bodyguard who had suddenly stopped walking.

"No, no. I am fine, a Noble commandment is also a must for me. Let's just continue," said Bai Xue, trying to strengthen his heart, trying to cover up all kinds of feelings that were eating away at his heart.

They continued their journey, walked through the forest, looked carefully, paid attention to the surrounding area, even the moving leaves did not escape their attention.

"Human Scent!" Suddenly a scream filled the silence, causing everyone to turn towards the source of the sound, and the scream came from a werewolf race.

"What do you mean?" Elder You asked. At this time, they were in the forbidden forest, a forest that was known to be truly very dangerous for the human race, he never even thought he would find humans in this forest.

Suddenly, Elder, You remembered Lord Gu's order.

'Previously, did Lord Gu already know the existence of humans in this forest? And that is why he gave such orders?' thought Elder You suddenly felt his whole body goosebumps shudder in horror.

Ya, even without that order, if only they found the humans in this forest, they really wouldn't miss that opportunity. Opportunity to avenge hundreds of years of hurt feelings.

"Elder, I am so confident in my abilities, I do feel the human scent."

The werewolf race is famous for its very sharp sense of smell.

Bai Xue, who heard them, was silent, as he expected that sooner or later they would find that human girl.

"Please, follow me!" said the man who came from the werewolf race, he then stepped forward to lead the way.

Walking for a long time exploring the depths of the forest, the man who led the way brought them closer to a rotten hut.

"There I feel the scent coming from there, "said the man, pointing his index finger at the old hut not far from them.


Chapter 17: Chapter 17. Human Scent (2)

"There! I feel the scent coming from there," said the man, pointing his index finger at the old hut which was not far from them.

At first glance, the hut was very small.

"Check it out soon!" Elder You ordered several people, then several people immediately headed towards the hut.

"Wait!" a voice stopped their steps.

"What's up with Bai Xue's bodyguard? Elder You said with slightly raised eyebrows.

"Nothing, I just wanted to say that don't act reckless, how about we wait a little while and observe. Don't you think that's very strange? Why is there a human in this forest? What if she is with someone?" Bai Xue said causing several of them to glance at each other. He was trying to buy time for the human girl, he didn't care whether the human was with someone or not, he was just trying to buy some time, wish that human girl could notice their existence and soon leave this forest quietly, even though it was impossible since this forest was already surrounded by several people from all directions.

But who knows, maybe luck could side with her. He realized that his thoughts were ridiculous, knowing that he also really hated humans, but somehow in that human girl, a feeling of wanting to protect arose from within him without him knowing why.

"Elder You, I think that the words of Bai Xue's bodyguard have a point," said someone from the vampire race, although the smell of the vampire race was also sharp, it was not as sharp as compared to the werewolf race.

"Good. This old man apologized for daring to give orders without the consent of Bai Xue's bodyguard. "Said Elder You realizing his position, he was just too excited to know the existence of humans in the forest. Yes, excited to kill her.

"It's okay, now each of us is looking for the right position to observe, and don't forget to disguise your aura, "said Bai Xue then jumped into one of the big tree branches.

Elder You followed, as did the others.

.

.

.

Being in that position for a long time, they still didn't see anything strange.

"Guards Bai Xue, maybe that human is alone, we have been observing for so long but nothing happened, we should check it immediately," said Elder You, who was already on the same tree branch as Bai Xue.

Bai Xue only nodded in response, knowing that there was no way to buy any more time. It's not like he didn't want to help that human girl, it's just that if he took the human girl away from this forest, where would he take her? back to the human race? It was impossible, the group on the east side would know of the existence of that human, and if he brought it to where they came from, it would also be impossible for him to do.

Saving humans and then making himself known as a traitor was not the right choice for him. Bai Xue did want the human girl's safety, but Lord Gu's orders were absolute to him, lying once was enough for him.

Until in the end, he gave up on what would happen next.

Those who saw Bai Xue's bodyguard nodded, immediately jumped down, and landed on the ground.

However, some of them hadn't even touched the ground yet, Bai Xue's voice came back.

"Wait!" said the guard.

Elder You who wanted to make a voice was stopped with Bai Xue's movements.

"Shhh ... someone is approaching," he said in a whisper, placing his index finger on his lips as a signal so that no one would make a sound.

Those whose feet have already reached the ground, jump back into the branches of the tree where they were before.

"Who is it? Does that person have anything to do with that human?" asked Elder You in a half-whisper, but was still able to reach the other ears.

There was no answer, they were just silently waiting for that figure to appear.

.

.

It seemed that several people began to approach the hut, with the help of the moonlight that had managed to escape from the leaves, the figure became even clearer, instantly making them sigh, dispelling their previous alertness.

The figures they saw were teacher Liu and a few more people from the eastern group.

.

.

"I didn't think Teacher Liu would reach this northern part of the forest," a voice stopped Teacher Liu and the people with him, looking away looking for the origin of the sound. It came from Bai Xue's bodyguard who had just jumped onto the ground followed by several people.

"Bodyguard Bai Xue," he said then saluted.

"Our team felt a human scent coming from here, so we decided to check," he added.

After saying that, one by one the groups that had spread in various directions before now appeared, and with the same purpose and that they also felt the scent of humans.

Now, the hut was surrounded from all directions.

"All right ... You guys check!" Since he already had no choice, Bai Xue's bodyguard finally gave orders. He was enough to buy time. Trying to stop them again might make himself suspect, Bai Xue didn't want that to happen.

Several people stepped closer to the hut to check. the sound of the door squeaking was heard, it was very dark inside the hut, even though it was seen that the moonlight had escaped from the leaves and cracks in the hut's wood, but it was not at all able to make them see the entire room in the hut.

someone then gathers the life energy in his hands to become a light.

At the same time, they were shocked, not wanting to believe what they saw.
