"How About Transferring It to Me?"

It had to be said that those Old Demon Faction fellows were quite dedicated. Though they kept their heads down and never dared to show themselves, they still searched every place where Shien and Shafna might have been.

Shien brought Shafna with him and hid in a cave within the forest using the supreme concealment of Inner Perception of Heaven, avoiding those people's magical detection. Even so, several groups searched nearby one after another, and some even entered the cave. If not for the sheer strength of Inner Perception of Heaven's effects, Shien and Shafna would likely have been discovered long ago.

Of course, even if they were discovered, Shien could use Teleportation with Shafna and leave this place to hide somewhere else.

With Shien's Teleportation ability, the barriers set up by those Primal Demons of the Old Demon Faction could not stop him at all. He could pass through whenever he wanted without worrying about being discovered.

However, the curse on Shafna's body had caused a bit of trouble.

It flared up from time to time. It was not fatal, but it was especially torturous.

Several times, Shafna had been tormented until her pretty face turned pale and her whole body swayed on the verge of collapse. If Shien had not used Celestial Breathe to stabilize the curse, she might already have fallen.

Moreover, each flare-up of the curse produced unusual negative fluctuations. Though Shien and Shafna had yet to be found, the number of Old Demon Faction members appearing in the forest was, without question, steadily increasing.

This proved only one thing.

"Are we about to be surrounded?"

Shien saw through the situation.

"It seems they've used the fluctuations of the curse on me to roughly determine our location."

Shafna's expression did not look very good either.
