’Besides, he hid the soul mark because you would’ve tried to follow, wouldn’t you have, Evelynn?’
Evelynn blinked and felt this reasoning was well within the truth. She smiled and no longer felt stifled, briskly walking into the mountainous forest that was densely populated with trees and bushes.
======
Half a day passed.
Evelynn’s survival in the fringes of the Sunset Tear Mountain was progressing smoothly with none of the Magical Beasts who had caught sight of her dared to come close because of the gap in their strengths.
Evelynn stood on the branch of a large tree, trying to approach a seven-meter snake that looked like it could swallow her whole and digest her entire body into energy for it to grow.
Its slithering body adopted a circular pattern with green scales and its reptilian eyes were staring at Evelynn in a threatening manner.
Evelynn did not feel scared at all since she had hunted Magical Beasts before in the Grand Sea Continent Meet and even before that during training sessions conducted in the Cauldon Family.
*Whoosh!~*
The snake swirled over to the side and shot down to the ground. It then hissed at Evelynn and escaped in another direction as if telling her to leave it alone.
However, Evelynn understood that it was provoking her but she didn’t chase it since she knew how some Magical Beasts led to their lairs. She shot a look towards the distance and saw the snake approaching the direction of a cave.
’As expected...’ She inwardly felt proud of her guess and took off in another direction, no longer interested in the Sky Beast Stage Magical Beast which escaped.
So far, she arrived at the conclusion that Magical Beasts were definitely not fools and savage like the ones she had seen most of the time. All of them had intelligence, but the ones in the Grand Sea Continent never seemed to rely on thinking while these Magical Beasts here formed a stark contrast in how they acted.
They all used their intelligence, thought, and acted.
’Perhaps it is an Earth Rank Species Magical Beast, no?’
A few seconds later, Evelynn suddenly narrowed her brows as she turned in a direction. The direction in front of her was silent and calm to her ears but she opened her mouth, "What do you want?"
She knew that there was undoubtedly a man a few meters in front of her!
How? Because her physical sense that was at the Gold Stage told her so!
At the same time she echoed, Evelynn brought out her Peak-Level Infant Soul Stage Soul Sense and instantly outlined the man who seemed to have an astonished yet crying expression on his face.
He had a rough face with black eyes, long nose, and medium-sized lips along with slightly tanned skin. His entire build could be said to be slightly burly while his crimson hair draped over his shoulders.
He wore a dark black sleeveless robe, hence his muscles were outlined in her mind as well.
Evelynn quickly retracted her Soul Sense feeling disgusted because she noticed the man holding the ’Seal’ Inscription on his hand. She jumped back and traversed away to a branch that was at a distance away and continued to escape.
"Wait!" The man shouted.
His tone was rather pleasant but his actions were definitely not, because Evelynn knew that this person definitely had ill intentions against her.
"Stop following!"
Evelynn did not stop. She relied on her physical sense to travel and flew in a particular direction, keeping in mind that she should not head to the inner region. She whooshed past many obstructions.
Nevertheless, Law Manifestation Stage undulations spread as the man instantly caught up and blocked her way.
Evelynn timely stopped from physically colliding with him and flew back. She landed on the ground and grit her teeth, no longer having the thought of avoiding because she realized the man’s strength and speed were way above her.
"Why are you running away?" The red-haired man bellowed.
Evelynn coldly replied, "You should know the answer yourself..."
