Chris sped through the forest and soon reached a valley. Deep inside was a pool they had passed while searching for Outland Beasts, so he knew exactly where to find it.
Without hesitation, he dove straight in.
At the same time, the pursuing Galeborn elders suddenly stopped.
"The Quarry-Seeking Mark's signature disappeared again," Elder Thorne said with a frown.
"It's fine. He must have an ability that can temporarily suppress the mark, but he can't maintain it for long. The signature will return soon enough," High Elder Aeron said.
"Right."
In the pool, Chris submerged his entire body, stripped off his clothes, and thoroughly scrubbed every inch of himself. He even washed his clothes several times.
Let's see them find me now.
After climbing out, he hung his clothes nearby to dry and lay naked on the ground.
"Fuck, I'm exhausted."
He had barely settled down when several sharp whistles cut through the air.
"Holy shit!"
