Someone then gathered the life energy in the palm of his hand, so that the light could help them see the whole hut.

Instantly what they saw made them shocked, they could not believe what they saw. ​​

Empty. There is no one in the hut.

The human scent they had previously felt suddenly disappeared as if that scent had never existed before.

They then searched very carefully, searching every corner of the hut, to no avail. They still found nothing.

Not wanting to linger in the hut, they then came out with a puzzled expression.

Tatua You who saw them immediately approached.

“What happened? What did you find?” asked Elder You.

They just answered with a shaking of their head because they didn’t know what kind of answer to give. It was clear that the human scent they felt was coming from that hut, but why did it suddenly disappear?

“What do you mean? Hey you, try to say!” Elder You asked with raised eyebrows while pointing his index finger at a man who seemed to come from the Vampire race.

“Elder You, there isn’t anyone in the hut, it’s empty.”

Bai Xue let out a sigh of relief when he heard their conversation.

Very different from Elder You who was getting more and more confused. You see, they entered this forest because of the previous great energy.

They felt a human presence in this forest and when they searched for it, the human disappeared without a trace. A series of events made Elder You’s headache.

The old man glanced at Bai Xue’s bodyguard as if he was awaiting further orders.

Bai Xue who saw Elder You’s gaze immediately spoke out.

“Let’s tracing this forest first until it’s finished, just staying here won’t produce results, that human may be still around this forest.”

Although Bai Xue wasn’t sure what he was saying because the scent suddenly disappeared like it was swallowed up by the earth.

To be honest, previously he had faintly felt the aura of someone approaching, but he ignored it because that person’s aura was harmless.

Seeing what was happening now, it seemed that person saved the human girl somehow. After all, he was very grateful.

Those who heard Bai Xue’s bodyguard also confirmed then returned to their respective groups and continued to explore the forest until early morning.

***

In a room that is not so wide, an old man is seen busy with a pile of books. Sometimes he used his gray robe to clean the dusty covers of some of the books.

The shelf lined up neatly and filled with books arranged randomly.

He left the window open to let sunlight enter the room.

Who knows how long it has been, he has read almost all the books, but he has not yet found what he is looking for.

His body, which began to feel sticky due to sweat, did not dampen his enthusiasm to keep opening sheet by sheet.

“What exactly is that symbol? Ah, these books have nothing to do with it.” The old man grumbled as he closed the book which was already the umpteenth time.

A tall old man sat not far from the gray-robed old man. Judging by the clothes he was wearing, it seemed like he was a librarian. He could not stand to see the old man continue to grumble, drowning himself in a pile of books whatever he was looking for. He decided to move and approach the old man.

“Elder Bao, what are you looking for? Don’t you think telling me might be of great help to you?”

Those who were asked only glanced briefly, then returned to open a new page in the book he was reading, did not give any answers.

No matter how much it is already a question, he continues to be ignored.

“This old Bao, has your hearing been damaged?” He shouted could not stand it because it was continuously ignored.

“Hmmm, just something that is not important,” said Elder Bao in a half-whisper as if he did not hear the screams of the people who were standing in front of him.

“Tsk .. I’m not the only person who knows you today, I know what and how you are don’t hide anything from me,” he said to Elder Huang Bao who was also his best friend from childhood.

“I’ve been waiting for you to tell me, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen. My patience is running out. Tell me, what is it?” he added again.

“Mmmm ….” Elder Bao thought whether he would tell or not.

“Next time .. I’ll tell you,” said Elder Bao smiling.

“Has the little girl regained consciousness?” Elder Bao asked again

“Who is that girl? Where did you find her? And why did you bring her here instead of your own house?”

“Later, I’ll tell you everything after I’m sure, I just want to confirm something first, has she realized?”

“No, since you brought her here, she hasn’t been conscious.”

“I want to see her,” said Huang Bao, standing up from his seat and leaving the pile of books that had piled up, walking towards the room where the girl was.

The step-by-step he took reminded him of yesterday’s events.

#Fashback on

Just as he had just returned from the forbidden forest, news of Bai Xue’s bodyguard, Elder You, and a few more people heading for the forbidden forest reached his ears.

Panicked and worried, lucky he still had the teleportation paper, so after taking the potion he needed, he immediately tore the paper to take it where he wanted to go.

It was a location not far from an old hut in the north of the forbidden forest which seemed now surrounded by several people. Elder You and bodyguard Bai Xue were also standing there.

He stopped some distance from the hut. He did it for a special reason.

All the things he predicted happened in front of him, fortunately, he had prepared everything to face it.

He raised his hand and sprinkled magic powder while chanting some incantations, when the spell finished everything froze, the leaves stopped making a rustling sound, the wind stopped blowing, no creature could move as if time stopped right then and there.

Even though it was only a fraction of a second but it helped him, sneaking into the hut without anyone knowing, forcing the human girl to swallow the potion he was carrying. But the unexpected happened, the human girl still had her consciousness, as evidenced by a cold gaze that filled her eyes as if to say “what are you doing to me?”

Even though the human girl couldn’t move but her gaze proved that the magic powder from the old man didn’t react perfectly.

Huang bao then hit the girl on the nape to lose consciousness and also so as not to interfere with what he was about to do.

But before the girl lost consciousness, a faint symbol appeared on her forehead, right between her eyebrows, a symbol with a faint light then immediately disappeared along with the girl’s consciousness.

Without thinking, the teleportation paper that was left in his hand he immediately tore and brought it to the room that was now in front of him.

#Flashback off

Elder Huang Bao didn’t know what would happen to that girl if he was even a second late.
