Chapter 371: Mo Li's Arrival
For the umpteenth time, she forced Anna's body to walk toward the packhouse.
And for the umpteenth time, she failed.
She sat against the tree and looked at the forest ahead.
She felt exhausted just from pushing this body to approach the packhouse.
Just… what happened?
Why was the original Anna, who could tackle bears and kill demons, be scared of those ruins?
Just what did she see?
She looked at the roasted meat in front of her. Hey, at least she's not hungry?
It has been three days since she left the academy and she had been using the secret training facility underground as her shelter. The good thing about this is that she wouldn't die in a forest as she was already used to it.
Or at least Anna's body was used to it.
Anna was very efficient in looking for food, hunting, and looking for some not poisonous mushrooms. There was also a sprint not far away from the cave, so she had no problem with her water source.
The only thing that she thought was bothersome was the fact that there were people who actually came here to check if she was here. Of course, she stayed inside the cave and was able to avoid the fight.
Three groups of people had already come here.
All of them were men.
All of them were more than six feet tall and bulky.
And all of them were armed with daggers and swords.
Clearly, they were here to kill her.
She started eating her roasted snake and silently complained about the lack of seasoning. She needed to get some salt and pepper soon.
Should she find a cabin and steal some supplies?
However, she didn't want to leave her smell as much as possible.
Well, not at least she found out the truth about their pack.
This was her priority.
"I knew you would be here."
Anna jumped, dropping her snake. She glared at Mo Li, who was sitting at the branch of the tree across her.
How come the system didn't warn her about this man?
No. The most important question is, why didn't she sense his presence? His scent…
She frowned.
She couldn't smell his scent.
"I'm not here to kill you."Mo Li jumped out of the tree. He sat opposite her and stared at the meat.
"Why are you here?" However, she is having none of it. True, Mo Li has white hair, the same weird attitude, and the same handsome appearance as that of Mo Li. However, her father killed Mo Li's father! There is no reason for Mo Li to help her! She took a step back, preparing to fight against the man.
She might not have his sword, but she was confident that she could overpower him!
"I'm not here to fight. I bought seasonings as proof."
"…"
"I know you would be camping somewhere. No seasonings." He quickly opened his backpack and showed him the things that he bought. "It's not poisoned too." He unceremoniously tasted each seasoning before letting out a series of coughs."
"Why the hell are you here?"
"I told you… I am going to look for your father."
"And what?"
"I will kill him, myself."
Anna snorted. Though she didn't lower her guard, her senses weren't already as jumpy as earlier. She picked up the snake meat that she dropped on the ground and gave it to Mo Li.
"Eat."
"That's dirty."
"Your fault. So eat."
Mo Li glared at her, then stared at the snake. He accepted it before adding some seasonings and putting it back on the fire.
Seeing this, Anna also did the same thing.
Actually, she wasn't too worried about getting poisoned because she had the ultimate cheat. She had her system. And her senses.
"How did you find me?" she asked, just as the smell of the spices wafted through the air. It was a good thing that those people would only come here during the night. For some reason, they don't visit this place during the day.
"It's obvious. I mean… your next step."
She thought she heard his stomach grumble as she stared at the meat.
"You would want to confirm if the ones who obliterated your family are demons."
Anna said nothing. Mo Li… is as smart as that Mo Li.
How weird.
Her gaze landed on his face. It looked like he had been traveling for days. Did he run towards here?
She was lucky, she already had her portal, so it only took her minutes to come here.
"Did your mother let you go?"
Mo Li grunted.
"So she didn't. And she's looking for you? Is that why you looked like you hadn't had any sleep?"
Mo Li might be a Lycan, but he only has a human form. He might be strong, but all human bodies have their own limits.
She watched as Mo Li grabbed the snake on a stick and started eating.
It looked like he was starving.
"You should go home."
"I won't."
"Stop being stubborn. Leaving the premises of the school would bring you nothing but danger." A young Lycan like him would face a lot of issues in the outside world. First was the humans who could use talismans, second is the elementals, third is a rogue, and fourth…
"What was that?" Anna frowned when she heard a loud growl.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Without saying anything, she grabbed the meat and used a bucket of water, and poured it towards the fire.
"What— "
She grabbed Mo Li's wrist and dragged him towards the cave.
She made sure to erase their scent, using the system's help while sacrificing another fifty coins. Then locked the cave, making sure it was completely hidden.
Just as she did this, another warning echoed inside her head.
