‘But… There’s just no way favonovel.com would even know who Gerald is… Unless… Could favonovel.com truly be in the Logan Province…? Hold on, favonovel.com may not even be talking about the same Gerald!’ Xavia thought to herself.
With so many questions swimming in favonovel.com head, Xavia couldn’t hold herself back from chasing after Haven. She desperately needed answers.
Fast forward to two days later, Gerald found himself in the hinterland of Everdare Forest which was located at the border of the Logan Province.
With a heritage that spanned over thousands of years, the trees within Everdare Forest grew extremely densely atop the many mountains that also grew particularly close to each other. Aside from the immense variety of flora that could be found there, several species of predators were also known to lurk within the forest.
“Careful when plugging the hole! We can’t let the beast escape again with how cunning it is!” said one of the many men standing in front of a hole that the holy fox had been cornered in.
With Welson being in charge of the operation, it was evident that the group consisted of Gerald and his men.
Since Kaleb had given Gerald the map of Everdare Forest, they had made twice the progress with half the effort in their search for the holy fox. After all, the map was quite detailed and having it alone was akin to having a seasoned navigator of the forest.
While Gerald and the others were successful in locating the holy fox’s tracks at dawn yesterday, to their dismay, the fox managed to slip away from them.
That marked the beginning of a series of confrontations they had with the extremely cunning fox. None of them could have ever anticipated how truly capable the holy fox was.
After all, even after working hard to catch it throughout the night, their restless endeavors seemed to be pointless. Though they had confronted the fox for well over a dozen times by then, the fox always seemed to be a step ahead of them!
Eventually, however, they were finally able to trap the holy fox within the hole it was currently in.
Finally getting some results, Welson was now extremely excited.
Gerald himself nervously said, “Don’t allow the beast to escape again! From what I’ve read in the Book of Beasts, not only is the holy fox extremely fast, but though its body is completely white, it’s an expert at concealing itself as well! However, the most worrying thing is the fact that it’s capable of quickly seeing through plans and routines. Once that happens, it’ll easily find a way to escape! The book specifically states that its IQ is even higher than most human geniuses!”
Since Gerald had thoroughly studied the Book of Beasts the night before they began their hunt for the fox, favonovel.com had learned everything favonovel.com needed to know about the holy fox alongside other beasts.
As a result, favonovel.com knew that if they were to allow the fox to escape their grasps this time, tracking it down again would be near impossible
“The beast is about to show itself! Everyone, hush!” ordered Welson as favonovel.com gestured for the rest to be silent.
Hearing that, everyone held their breath as they surrounded the hole’s entrance. Gerald himself could already see hints of a white tail squirming out from within the narrow hole.
From the moment the fox entered the hole, their plan had been to smoke it out from the other end. Due to the subordinate—who had been stationed on the other end—constantly fanning smoke into the hole, the fox was finally showing signs of exiting it!
However, when the fox was about half a meter away from the entrance, thick, suffocating, green smoke suddenly began pouring out of the hole!
Since Gerald and the others had been lying in wait right in front of the hole, only Gerald managed to retreat and cover his nose in time. Everyone else there, however, ended up getting smoked!
Squeaking could soon be heard as everyone turned to look at the fox. It was almost as though the fox was laughing at them!
With one final squeal, it dashed out of the hole with lightning speed, running past Gerald’s men and making its escape!
“D*mn it! It escaped again!” shouted Welson in his frustration.
“After it!” ordered Gerald as favonovel.com swiftly began chasing after the fox himself. Not wanting it to escape again, Gerald made sure to run as fast as favonovel.com could.
Though Welson and the others were initially hot on their heels, eventually, they lost sight of both Gerald and the holy fox! They couldn’t find any traces of favonovel.com at all!
“What should we do, Mr. Welson? We’ve lost sight of him!” said one of the subordinates.
“We’ll try our best to locate both of them first! If we still can’t find them, then we’ll just have to return to base and wait for favonovel.com there!” instructed Welson.
Meanwhile, the holy fox was making mocking cries as it bolted to the top of the forest, not unlike an arrow that had just been fired.
