Chapter 208: The Valley of Lost Souls

Sylrin and I stuck close to the walls, where the group was separated from us below by at least two layers of jagged rock. And there we waited for an opportunity to snatch the elf girl. 

It made me a little uncomfortable watching the group inch their way across the hazardous path, when they didn't know they were being observed. And to think I had to separate one of them forever.

Sensei's requests were really getting out of hand!

But not even a minute in, I began to pick up vibrations of something on the layer of rock above us.

I stopped to look up because it sounded like a crawling creature.

However, the sound faded away as soon as I fixed my attention on it, the unknown creature never revealing itself.

Weird.

My first thought was spiders – the darkness and shadow of the valley seemed like their ideal habitat, and I scanned the rocks above us hoping [Heat Sense] would reveal something.
