Chapter 71: 71. The Chase

The arrival of Abel and the others must have startled the birds. Since Tyler scattered the millet all over the place, there would only be one or two groups of birds flying out if it were ordinary people or beasts. However, birds flew out from the first and second passage. That means that the Tiger Gang fanned out to search.

Tyler looked at the sky and thought for a moment and took even more Millets. The birds circled the area because they are reluctant to leave the food behind. They are just waiting for this group of people to leave.

Indeed, after a while, the circling birds returned to where they flew out from. Which means the group started to move. After calculating everything Tyler began to move.

Abel and others quickly arrived at the stone where Tyler and Silvia stayed. They looked at the three passages which are connected to the dense forest, the nearby village and a river respectively.

"Boss. He might be smart. But he made a big mistake. Maybe he doesn’t have Time so he just ran away before even pouring the millets in every passage." One of the gang members pointed at the deep forest passage. There is a trail of millets in that passage.

"Do you really think this guy would make a careless mistake like this? There is definitely a trick." Abel said, "Take 10 people to the forest route. Another 10 people take the river route. The river route is connected to the third path. There is a higher chance he might have taken that path. Others take the village route. After 15 minutes, if you don’t find anything, come back here. If you find any clue, just send a person back to inform others. One person waits here and checks if there is something suspicious."

"Yes Boss." Everyone replied.

15 minutes later the team from the village and team from the river passage returned.

"Boss we didn’t find anyone near the river. There are no trace of someone crossing the river." The subordinates said.

Their Boss Abel nodded. He also asked the village chief and the villagers in the nearby village. There are no newcomers arriving in that village.

"Where is the team that went deep into the forest?" He asked.

"Maybe they found him?" One of his Gang members said.

"Boss we found It!" A voice appeared from the forest, The last team also returned.

"Did you find them?" Abel asked with the expectation.

"No.. I mean " The man panicked.

"Tell me." Abel raised his voice.

"I found the millet bag." He showed a bag without any millets.

Abel raised his hand higher to slap him. But he lowered it and asked, "What happened?"

The team that went deep into the jungle followed the millet trail. Most of them were below the trees. Suddenly the trial stopped. They searched for the little girl and her guardian. But what they found was a monkey holding a small millet bag and trying to pour millets out of the empty small sac.

It is the same monkey that Tyler met when escaping from the Giant snake. Tyler met it by coincidence and came up with a plan.

After hearing that Abel wondered. He didn’t take any of the paths. Then where did he go?

Abel looked at the millet on the ground and said , "Did you see anything?"

He asked the one who was left behind when others went to search.

"No boss." He then hesitated and said "There are some birds flying in the third passage."

Hearing this Abel let out of his aura, He screamed "Why didn’t you tell that before Idiot?"

"B-Boss I thought it might be that some villagers stepped on the millet like us."

"Idiot. Why do I have idiotic subordinates? That man and the little girl went back to the village while we were searching for them like a dog." He screamed again and ordered, "Divide into three teams and go back to the village. He took the third path and went back to the village."

At first Tyler wanted to take the river route and escape. There is a chance they might leave a trail but he didn’t care. All he needed to do was run far away. But after seeing the monkey he decided to play the hide and seek game even more. He gave the monkey some fruit and asked it to pour the millets in the forest passage. The monkey is smart. It understood and did as he was told.

Soon Abel Gang reached the village and found out about Tyler and Silvia.

"They took the beach route. Let’s Go."

┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉

The forest near the beach.

Meanwhile Avrora ordered her men to dig up the pit.

"What are we doing? Are we trying to dig a pit for Abel and the others to fall into? However, this pit is too shallow. He is an Elite warrior. It won’t work.," Her father said, finding this strange and showing a confused expression.

Then she told them to open the Sacs and pour the contents and mix it in the box and place it in the pit.

"These are? Charcoal. These are from the caves I don’t know the name of. And what are these?" Her father asked.

"These are Charcoal, saltpetre, and sulphur. I also don’t know how this works. He told me the method of making these when he was staying in the house for a month. According to him, this is a fireworks recipe or something. I don’t understand half of his words." Avrora said.

She then took a small flint, fuse and cottons to connect it. The fuse looked like Cord for the transmission of flame.

"As expected, connecting them is not easy." Suddenly someone said, Tyler walked out from the forest.

"Tyler! You really did escape from them." Avrora smiled.

Tyler nodded at them and took the fuse and flint and connected it. Tyler placed some sticks on the closed pit and connected a long thread to the flint.

"That’s it?" Her father asked.

"There is one more thing." Tyler replied.

"What is it ?"

"Something that makes Abel Angry." When Tyler said that Avrora blushed. She looked at her father and said, Father take Silvia and go to the hiding spot. " We will be back."

Her father was worried but didn’t ask anything. They quickly left. Silvia was reluctant to leave Tyler. But with him persuading she left with them.

"They are trustworthy, right?" Tyler asked.

"Don’t worry. They are the people who suffered because of Abel." She replied.

"Then shall we do it ?" Tyler asked Avrora. She blushed and nodded.

Abel and his Gang arrived at the place where the trap is.

The Gang members were dumbfounded. Because there is a letter hanging on some stick. There is also a woman’s inner wear with unknown liquid sticking on it.

"Take that letter."

Abel said. One of his Lackey carefully removed the Letter without touching the inner wears.

Abel opened the letter.

[ Hey Kitten Gang Leader,

You searched for me for a month. But you never thought that I was sleeping with your wife in your house. Even now I railed her in this place. I hope you like my gift. It is the same innerwear you brought it for her. ]

Veins popped out in Abel’s head, he tore the letter in shreds and swung his hand. A powerful force broke the sticks and the clothes.

He didn’t notice a tightly coiled thread was broken by that impact. The instant the sticks broke, a clack came from the stone near. The breaking of the thread caused the flint to give off a spark.

┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉

"I thought you would pour the real stuff." Avrora said while running.

"That’s just some paste of Glue. Do you really think I would rail you in the middle of forest when your husband is searching for us." Tyler shook his head.

"Hmph." She pouted looking disappointed.

"What was that mixture in that box we buried?" She asked.

"Explosive," Tyler said.

"An Elite Warrior can easily survive that." Avrora said.

"But not his gang members. Did you place other boxes all around them?

Avrora nodded and asked , "Why did you choose that place?"

Boom!

A resounding explosion came from the distant valley.

Even from such a distance, Avrora felt the ground shaking. A series of miserable cries rang out.

Avrora opened her mouth in shock.

"You asked why I chose that place, right?" Tyler said.

Abel with his half burned body walked out of that place. Suddenly a loud hiss sound resonated. He saw a Giant snake slithering towards him.

Abel understood. It was all a trap. He also lost all of his men in that explosion.

"Aaahhh.. If I escape this I am gonna kill you!!!!" Abel cried loudly.

Tyler and Avrora were about to reach the place they were hiding. It is a small cave near the river.

Silvia divided into Tyler’s arm when she saw him.

"I thought Undocking was happening." The old man said.

"Oh.. I almost forgot. Undocking might happen soon." Avrora said, which made Tyler puzzled.
