Chapter 83 Tracking the lost
Without any prior warning, the beetles charged right at them. Kate was quick to act with her shooting out Qi infused arrows. She was able to coat her arrows with Qi and she was even better with the bow and arrow now. One of Kate\'s arrows managed to hit one of the beast\'s stingers therefore allowing to stray off course and this gave Sophia the time to hit the beetle with her sword.
But it didn\'t go in deep because her weapon was still at the basic tier so it made it hard for her to slice it off. This made her realise something instantly. "Guys! They are not basic tier beasts, they are intermediate beasts." Discover hidden content at empire
Everyone heard but Jack was already in the middle of a strike when the warning reached him but he didn\'t falter. Rather at the last second, Jack quickly coated his sword with Qi therefore making it sharp enough to slice through the beetle therefore killing it making the number of beasts 7.
Hearing Sophia\'s warning, the team were quick to act with everyone coating their weapons with Qi and ready to go again against the beasts.
"Vynn!" Kate called out. "Stick with Cindy and cover her back when necessary okay?"
"Got it." Vynn shouted back not taking his eyes off the beasts and then Cindy dashed towards one of the beasts and swung her blade at the beetle but one of the beetles came at her this was where Vynn came in.
With a stab of his Qi infused spear,Vynn thrusted it towards the beetle that was going after Cindy and the spear managed to pin the beetle down and then Vynn kept stabbing it multiple times until it died. Then he looked up to see how Cindy was doing and he could see that she was done with her own beast.
Kate was still at the back firing out arrows after arrows at the beasts that would cause of them trouble and then finally, they were done killing all the beasts with some minor injuries here and there. They decided to rest before they extracted the crystals because the beasts gave them a tough challenge.
"If this bug like intermediate beasts could give us trouble, I hate to imagine how the other type of beasts will be like." Vynn shuddered.
"Agreed. But at least after this, we can get ourselves intermediate weapons with the bug crystal cores." Cindy said.
"I wonder how Jake is doing." Kate said.
"Is it only Jake you are worried about?" Jack asked. "Don\'t forget that Peter is also with them. Aren\'t you worried for him too?" Jack smiled.
"No, I am worried for both of them but it\'s just, Jake is…"
"Special?" Sophia asked with a smile on her face.
"I didn\'t say that." Kate quickly shook her head as her cheeks had a tinge of red on it.
"Alright, I think it\'s time we extracted the crystals and headed back. They might have even gotten back to where we agreed to meet up." Vynn said.
"Yes, I agree with you." Kate said, already getting up to start extracting the crystals.
"Just a few minutes of not seeing Jake, she\'s now restless and can\'t wait to get back." Jack commented.
"You know that I can hear you right? And if you don\'t shut up, I\'m gonna plunge an arrow into your body." Kate said, already extracting the crystals.
The rest of the team started extracting the crystals also and after a few minutes, they were done and they were now heading back the way they came by following the landmarks they left on the trees.
They walked for twenty minutes before they got back to where they were supposed to meet up with the rest of the team but they were nowhere to be found.
"Huh?" Kate said. "What happened? Why aren\'t they here yet?"
"Maybe they got lost." Vynn said.
"No, I\'m sure they would have left landmarks to identify their way back. Even if Peter is a fool sometimes, Jake has a good head on his shoulders so it couldn\'t be that they got lost." Sophia said.
"Then what happened?" Jack asked.
"Whatever it is, we will find out." Kate said. "I remember the general route they took so we can try and track them."
"I agree." Cindy said. "We need to find them who knows, they might have encountered trouble and might be in a pickle."
"Yes that\'s true." Jack said.
"Alright, let\'s go find them." Kate said, leading the way. And with that, they were on their way to look for Jake and Peter. Will they find them in time to save them? Or will they be too late?
