About a minute after the Demon Smoke Bomb was launched, Bailin, dressed in black battle armor, quickly sneaked over.
When she saw the Demon Smoke Bomb, she felt that something was wrong. This was an emergency rescue signal that was only used in urgent situations. When she cautiously rushed over, she immediately saw that beside a patch of grass, the dark-skinned girl was crouching on the ground holding Geli's body. While keeping a close eye on a dilapidated tall building opposite, she was quickly weaving some thick linen threads and small knife nails in her hand to make traps.
When she saw the arrow in Geli's face, her heart sank. After she approached, the dark-skinned girl heard the movement. When she turned around and saw Bailin, she visibly relaxed a bit and quickly said, "The enemy is in the small building opposite. I don't know if he has run away from the back of the building. Geli, Geli he..."
Bailin was slightly silent. She squatted down and stroked Geli's wide-open eyes. After a moment of silence, she said in a low voice, "There were two of you, weren't there? How did he manage to do this?"
Sensing the anger hidden in her words, the dark-skinned girl turned pale and told the whole story of what had happened before.
"This little brat!!" After listening, the killing intent in Bailin's eyes was intense. Her fingers were clenched tightly. The movement of the muscles on her face due to anger caused the wound that had been barely bandaged to tear open again. The intense pain made the anger in her heart even more furious. But she quickly relaxed the muscles on her face to avoid the wound from not healing for a long time.
"Captain, do you know him?" The dark-skinned girl couldn't help but ask when she saw Bailin's expression.
Bailin said coldly, "He's that newbie brat!"
"Him?" The dark-skinned girl was greatly surprised. Although she had heard the name Dudian, she had never seen his appearance. It was hard to believe that the cunning and insidious teenager she had just seen was actually that scavenger brat who was lucky enough to obtain the Marks of the Demon!
"How did he come outside the Wall? The scent that Geli smelled clearly entered the passage under that pile of rocks. Could it be that he has helpers?" The dark-skinned girl couldn't help but ask.
Bailin gave her a cold look and said, "Don't you understand yet? He pretended to use those Bone-Eating Rats that he had captured in advance to run away. His actual purpose was to lure you to the place where he had prepared to launch a sneak attack in advance and hunt you down on his own territory! Fortunately, you weren't too stupid and didn't chase separately. Otherwise, you would have been defeated one by one by him and wouldn't even have a chance to call for help!"
The dark-skinned girl couldn't help but say, "But Geli's sense of smell can't be wrong."
"He took advantage of Geli!" A cold light flashed in Bailin's eyes. "The reason why Geli tracked here should be that the little brat injured the other Bone-Eating Rats. Because they were injured, they couldn't run too fast or too far. Only this one ran the fastest, so Geli locked it as the target!"
"As for the scent that you smelled going into the pile of rocks, I think it should be a real Bone-Eating Rat. When he met up before, he didn't cover his own scent but covered the scent of the only uninjured Bone-Eating Rat inside. After arriving here, he put that Bone-Eating Rat in the passage of the pile of rocks and let it run for its life. And he himself lurked in the nearby pool, letting the pool cover his scent so that he could launch a sneak attack from behind you!"
The dark-skinned girl was stunned when she heard this. Although Bailin hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, every word of her analysis made sense. However, if this was really the case, the little brat's scheming was too terrifying!
A chill rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of Dudian who had leaped out of the pool again. The cold figure when he pulled the bowstring, although he was still young enough to be called a "teenager", at that moment, he gave her the feeling of a real god of death!
"Captain, what should we do now? Should we continue chasing and killing him?" The dark-skinned girl asked hesitantly.
A cold light flashed in Bailin's eyes. Staring at the tall building for a moment, she said in a low voice, "No need. He will come back. Now we just need to wait for him here." After saying that, she glanced at Geli in the girl's arms and said, "Burn his body. There's zombie blood plasma on the arrow, and his body has already been infected. He will stand up in a quarter of an hour."
The dark-skinned girl bit her lower lip slightly and said in a low voice, "I understand."
Bailin made a gesture and turned to leave.
The dark-skinned girl dragged Geli's body and followed behind.
The two of them found a small building to take shelter in. The reason for choosing the small building was that they were worried that the rainfall would be too heavy and would collapse the tall building. At the same time, they also needed to guard against Dudian using the terrain of the tall building to launch a sneak attack on them.
At this time, thunder rumbled in the dark clouds gathering in the sky, and the long-brewing Disaster Rain began to fall patter by patter.
The two of them cleared an open space in the small building, found some combustible materials, and set Geli's body on fire.
The rain poured down outside. The dark-skinned girl felt that the air was getting a bit cold. Looking at Geli's charred and dark eye sockets, she felt a chill. Suppressing a trace of sadness in her heart, she dug the soil and buried Geli's charred body.
After burying him, she turned around and looked at Bailin. She saw that Bailin was standing in front of the door, staring at the heavy rain outside, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Captain..." The dark-skinned girl said in a low voice, "Will he really come back?"
"He will." Bailin didn't turn around, and her voice was emotionless.
"Before, he took advantage of the traps and ambushes and had the upper hand to injure us. Now that we don't take the initiative to attack, he shouldn't come back again, right?" The dark-skinned girl softly put forward her own thoughts.
"He has to come back." Bailin turned around and looked at her. "He's smarter than we thought. Although we don't know how he came outside the Wall, when he saw us, he didn't plan to run away but tried to kill us. This shows that he had already expected that once his training period was over, we would try every means to kill him. So, he has no choice. He can only kill us in this opportunity. It's either us or him!"
The dark-skinned girl was taken aback for a moment and said, "But he's just a newbie Hunter. He was just a scavenger before and had never hunted. How could he have such courage? Even without you, in terms of the number of people alone, we are a team and not someone that he can hunt down alone. How dare he?"
"The facts have proven that he does dare." Bailin looked at her and said, "Although he's a few years younger than you, his determination and coldness are no less than yours. Although he has never hunted a single monster, but... maybe killing people is his talent."
The dark-skinned girl shuddered and said thankfully, "Fortunately, we didn't give him a chance to grow up. Otherwise, he would really pose a threat to us."
Bailin looked at the heavy rain outside and said, "He should be very anxious now. Before, he used our desire to kill him to set up a plan and thus complete his own plan. Now, the initiative is in our hands. He's afraid that we'll go back alive. Once he misses this opportunity, once his training period is over, it will be his death!"
The dark-skinned girl was slightly stunned and fell into deep thought.
The heavy rain was like a curtain, shrouding the sky and the earth in a hazy mist.
