Steampunk: Sixth Era Epic

Chapter 742: Chapter 742: The Pursuers in the Dense Fog

The battle may stop at any moment, but it could also last several more hours.

Sensing the danger of this place and the possibility of being swept away by some large-scale attack, Shard now had the thought of retreating even further.

He consciously hid himself in the dense woodland, pondering the reasons and implications of everything he had seen tonight as he gazed into the dense fog.

Once assured of safety, he crouched low and ran towards the depths of the fog with the cat in his arms. Fortunately, the power of the Divine Ritual still lingered on this piece of earth, so there was no need to worry about encountering any Evil Spirits in the mist.

The thick fog made Shard wary of moving too quickly, and he was also thinking about Joey Barton’s situation. Around 7:40 in the evening, hidden in the bushes and concealed by the Illusion Technique, Shard encountered another person running through the fog.

Although the sound was close, it wasn’t directed at Shard; the person ran past him about ten meters away through the woods.

The fog was hazy, but through the leaves, Shard’s eyes still caught sight of a man dressed like a circus jester—tall and thin, wearing a red performance costume, even with a red noseball attached to his nose.

Generally speaking, seeing such a person in the woods at night meant they were not normal, but inconveniently the jester seemed to be just an ordinary person.

“Where did this come from? No, it has nothing to do with me, no need to go out.”

Thinking this, the Outlander carefully stuffed the cat into his embrace to prevent it from making noise and attracting attention.
