CHAPTER 848 THE SNAKE RETURNS TO ITS NEST

"There are footprints."

Adeline also spotted the footprints on the ground.

The loose, moist soil leaves footprints easily.

More importantly, the shape of the clay footprints here is human.

Even the Henderson family said that this area of forest belonged to the Henderson’s jurisdiction and no

one would normally come in, much less the Henderson families would play in the forest.

So this forest is obviously empty, so why are there footprints?

Leo and Adeline looked at each other, their eyes instantly becoming grave.

"It's Terry!"

Leo, Adeline and Luna immediately followed the footprints and tracked them over.

A deeper journey followed and they soon found that the footprints in the mud had disappeared.

"The footprints are gone?"

Adeline exclaimed, then looked around, "So is it possible that my brother is around here?"

"Not necessary."

Luna spoke up, "As you said, his demeanor is now no different from that of a beast, and animals will

generally deliberately hide their tracks and scent in order to escape their natural enemies. This is

animal stalking and counter stalking."

"Aren't you a professional in this? How come you don't even know this?"

Luna looked at Adeline with a strange expression.

Adeline held her tongue for a long time before she came out with, "All the animals I deal with are small,

and the tiger is the first big cat I've trained."

"......"

Leo gave her a look without saying anything, having long seen that she was a half-wit.

The reason for being so pretentious is just a preconceived mentality.

After all, the number of tamers is very small, and female tamers are even smaller. It is still possible to

pretend with ordinary people, but, she encountered Leo.

"So, what you're saying is that my brother may have come across some wildlife in the forest and been

chased?"

Adeline asked.

"That may be the case, who knows?"

Luna shrugged her shoulders.

Adeline's face went straight to white.

The forest is so big, who knows what terrifying wild monsters are hiding in it?

Even if there are no scary wild monsters, there are many beasts and poisonous insects. In short, a

person without wilderness survival experience came to this forest, may not last half a day.

Adeline didn't dare to think about it anymore, her face full of fear.

"It's not as scary as you think."

Leo saw what she was thinking and said indifferently, "This is an urban forest, not a deserted area,

there are no such creatures as you think in your head."

Adeline sighed with relief.

"It's just some lions that have been put in artificially, tigers and stuff."

"......"

At once, Adeline's face went white again.

Luna immediately looked at Leo, "Master, you can see that too?"

Leo nodded and said, "This forest, in the past, would have been a huge hunting garden."

"A hunting garden?"

Adeline asked curiously.

"Yes."

Leo hit the nail on the head: "In this world, as long as there is money, anything can be done. To satisfy

the hunting mentality of people like your royal family, mere women and nightlife cannot satisfy them,

they prefer something exciting like rock climbing and diving, and ---- hunting."

"But it is against the law to hunt animals in the country, so that one can only carve out a forest in one's

own territory and then, unnoticed, send some wild animals into it, usually herbivores like antelopes,

reindeer, and occasionally some large carnivores like wolves and tigers."

"The fact that Karl and Maisy's newlywed villa set up right here is proof that it used to be a huge

hunting ground."

"......"

After listening to Leo's analysis, Adeline finally understood.

"You seem to, like, know a lot."

She uttered.

Leo gave her a look and did not say anything, but looked at Luna.

"Did you bring the annihilation scatter?"

Luna's eyes instantly lit up, "You actually know about annihilation scatter?"

When she finished, she pulled out a small bottle from her pocket.

"What is it?"

Adeline asked.

"Annihilation scatter, and the body odour of animals cannot be covered."

Luna said, "Since the footprints are gone, we'll look for them based on body odour."

"The annihilation scatter makes all the scents in the earth visible, for the gases all have weight, and the

annihilation scatter can fuse with and separate from these body odours and keep sinking until they are

smelt."

"Only a hunter who has been out in the forest for years, or a warrior who knows jungle warfare, would

know this method."

Adeline's mouth was slightly open as she listened in awe.

All this was something she had not been exposed to, she found particularly amazing.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she couldn't help but look at Leo with surprise in her eyes.

Could it be that he is a hunter?

Or a warrior who knows jungle warfare?

Adeline was suddenly curious about Leo's identity.

Leo poured a little of the annihilation scatter powder and after a long time, a faint pungent stench

suddenly appeared in the air.

The smell, apart from the stench, was a little fishy, with a hint of grass in the mix.

A mixture of fragrance and stench, the fragrant one became more fragrant, and the stink one became

stinkier.

Leo and Luna's expressions instantly became grave.

"What is this creature's smell?"

It is not the scent of a large predator like a tiger, or a lion.

Leo crouched down again and looked closely at the contoured shape of the clay beneath his feet.

Apart from their footprints, the corners were smooth, as if they had been run over by something like a

rolling pin.

On closer inspection, underneath the smoothness, there are a few dents.

Leo reached out, grabbed a handful of the mud t and came over to smell it.

That fishy smell just got stronger.

"This is ......"

Leo's face became cloudy all of a sudden, and his heart suddenly thumped. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"It's the snake."

Luna spoke coldly.

"Snake?!"

Adeline was startled, girls were most afraid of snakes.

"When I make a Miao compulsion, apart from catching some poisonous insects, I also catch some

snakes to make a snake compulsion, and judging from the outline, this must be a snake."

"It's still a big snake!"

"......"

At once, Leo's heart was beating fast.

His eyes fixed dead on the trajectory of the snake as it crawls by.

At the moment they see only half of the track, the remaining half lost in the grass.

Half of it is that big, wouldn't it be as thick as a wheel all of it?

How big of a snake does it have to be to have that profile?

"I've heard that snakes usually return to their nests."

Leo turned back to Luna and asked.

Luna nodded: "Yes, snakes are very cunning and vengeful, whether they are hunting, or escaping, they

will not pass through their own nest, but, they will definitely return for revenge!"

As soon as the words of Luna fell, Leo suddenly heard a subtle grinding sound coming from the grass

not far away.
