Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 168 Forest Trouble (4)

?

When we came back, the elves immediately looked at us with curious looks as if they wanted to know what we found.

Seeing this, I started explaining what we had found.

When I was done, all of them were looking at me with looks of doubt.

It was a good thing that I hadn't mentioned anything about the demons, or else they would have looked at me with even stranger looks.

After a moment of silence, the elves didn't hold back anymore.

"What kind of nonsense is this? What bird?"

"Do you really think that our elite elven scouts wouldn't have picked up on the tracks that you talked about?"

"That's right! Are you looking down on us elves?"

I just revealed a bitter smile when I heard this and I didn't say anything in response.

Before they got too rowdy though, Moon raised her hand to stop them again.

She had been looking at Haley the entire time as if she was sizing her up. Now that she had raised her hand, it should mean that she had made her decision.

Moon calmly and slowly said, "We'll take a look at these tracks. If they are indeed as you say, then it should lead to the culprit."

When the other elves heard this, they revealed looks of disbelief. However, they kept their opinions to themselves since they were all told to follow Moon's orders on this trip.

But then they remembered where they would have to go to do this, so they once again glared at us.

The way that they looked at us was almost like we were predators that were trying to lure them to a bad place with candy. Of course, that could be understood since the place that had the magic power in the air drained was like that for them since it caused them to go into shock.

It would be the perfect place to do something to them.

Moon also knew this and she said, "We'll move slowly and adjust to the change. We've already done this before."

Hearing this, the other elves nodded slowly.

They had indeed done this before because these were the elite scouts that they had mentioned earlier. They had been so angry because Zwein was implying that their casual search was better than the work of these elite scouts, so it was stepping on their pride.

After deciding this, they started moving forward into the parts of the forest with the magic drained.

They moved slowly and there were looks of difficulty on the faces of these elves, but not a single one fell like Moon had done earlier.

They were able to endure and slowly move forward like they weren't affected by the lack of magic power.

Finally, we arrived at the place that we had searched earlier.

I brought them over to the tracks that Haley had found and when we showed it to them, all of them had doubtful looks on their faces. There were even a few of them that looked at us like they thought that we were crazy.I think you should take a look at

I ignored all of this and just led them along the tracks that we had found.

After following these tracks for a bit, they had no choice but to admit that this was real.

After all, it was impossible for such uniform tracks to appear in the ground. There had to be something that had caused all of this.

These elite scouts were also hunters that had experience tracking animals, so they could tell what were actual animal tracks and what weren't.

The ones in front of them indeed seemed like animal tracks.

They were just upset that they didn't notice this earlier…

They had thought that these were simple marks that had formed naturally and they had never connected it to some kind of animal until they saw that it led somewhere.

But, not a single one of them gave Haley the admiration that she deserved. Not a single one of them was willing to admit that a human like Haley was better than them.

One of the blonde elves came to Moon's side and asked, "Should we follow them?"

As she asked this, there was a look of expectation on her face.

It was to be expected since this was the first clue that they had found after all this time, so they wanted to follow this as soon as possible.

But Moon just shook her head to deny this.

The other elves were surprised to see this and they looked at her like they were wondering why she had rejected this.

Moon looked at the marks on the ground for a bit before saying, "There's no knowing what else is there. We need to go back and report to the elders first before we follow these tracks. We also need to bring the other warriors with us."

The other elves had a slightly disappointed look when they heard this, but they also had looks of agreement. They knew that Moon was right, there was no knowing what was there waiting for them at the end of the tracks.

If they went after them now, especially with the weakened state that they were in because of the lack of magic power here, it would be dangerous for them.

Their best move was to go back and report to the elders. That way, they could come up with a plan on how to deal with this.

Not to mention…there were the humans that were here with them now.

If they went after these tracks with the humans here…it would be like having to watch their backs at the same time.

After this, Moon turned to head back to the elven village with the rest.

As we were heading back, I came over and said in a soft voice, "We want to help you when you go after those people."

Moon turned to look at me with a calm look in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, she gave a nod in response.
