Chapter 67

"Well, no choice, I should just carry it in my bag."

He collected the ashes and wrapped them in big leaves, storing them in his bag afterward. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

He spent the next hour searching for a place to stay and rest; the forest was definitely big, and there were all sorts of natural spots and places to hide.

He wanted a place closer to a water stream if possible so that he would not need to travel just to collect water.

But there was, of course, the risk involved in getting entangled with other participants in this.

Water is an important resource, and there were bound to be people vying for it; they must be thinking the same as him.

He had awakened a water-attributed espera and could quench his thirst in dire need but not casually.

He had a very minimal amount of espera compared to others, and using water-attributed techniques would consume a lot of it, thus tiring him.

His main goal was to conserve as much energy as possible in order to be prepared for any unknown variables.

He simply could not afford the luxury to use his espera for the simple purpose of quenching his thirst whenever he wanted at the moment.

Having some espera reserves was necessary.

Gurgle... Gurgle...

It was not long before his ears caught the sound of flowing water.

He walked towards the sound's direction, and with some rustling with the bushes, he soon found himself face to face with a flowing water stream.

The water was clean and fresh; he neared the edge and drank a mouthful of fresh water.

Feeling refreshed from the earlier bloodshed, he tried to locate a nearby shelter for him to spend the time.

But in the end, he managed to finish it off.

The last demon could have been a good catch, and had he used the talisman to seal the demon inside, he could have been worry-free.

But his mind was not ready to accept this demon; he believed that he could definitely do better than this.

And not to mention... that tingling sensation of being watched had come once again...

Earlier at the water stream, he felt it was his delusion and he believed so since the sensation disappeared when he left the water stream to hunt deeper into the forest, but now suddenly it was back.

This time he did not think that it was due to the fact that he was on edge due to hunting demons.

Someone was definitely watching him...

And that someone was close...

Without delaying, he activated [Cosmic Void Gaze] and scanned the surroundings once more.

This time, he made sure to be discreet about it and not let the watcher know that he was searching for them.

He did not want to alert the observer or observers that he had felt their gazes on his back.

They were already being quite stealthy with their gazes and had it not been for him becoming stronger in the past couple of weeks, he might have completely ignored it or missed it.

But now, that was not the case.

He pretended to act naturally and started to handle the corpse, while occasionally looking around to see if there were any demons nearby, while instead, he was looking for the observers.

And he finally saw it...

'...Ah.'

His lips suddenly curled up into a sinister grin.

'They are finally here.'
