Missing the mark made the bearded man quite annoyed. He grumbled, "The scouts deserve to be dunked in pork cages. The folks are long gone, and they remain oblivious."
On the side, Ling Bo said, "They must've planned to run away a long time ago, it wasn't a decision of today."
The bearded man responded, "They better get out of the darkness. Otherwise, it won't change their fate. Where else could they run to within the darkness?"
Ling Bo urged, "Boss, let's have some food. The petty brats and some traps exhausted us for the entire day."
"Damned small fry, never thought they would run." The bearded man wasn't willing to admit defeat. He had hoped for a fierce battle today, eradicating them all here.
"It seems we will have to take our time to find opportunities. As long as they don't escape from the dark, there's nowhere they can hide," Ling Bo added.
While gnawing on roast chicken, the bearded man was venting his anger, "Take everything we can carry."
