Chapter 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.
