Ambush

Feng Wu moved swiftly in the snowstorm and headed directly for Zone 1.

She had indeed split her tracks into three.

Little Phoenix, the cub, and she herself were running in three different directions.

Both pets had been smeared with her blood, making sure that Ten could smell her scent.

She was right —

The team leader stared at Ten. "Which one?"

Ten closed his eyes to heighten his senses, but shook his head in the end. "I can't say for sure."

"Which direction is the most likely, then?"

"North."

"Good." The team leader narrowed his eyes and made a decision. "Two, Five, Ten, you three follow me to the north."

"Three, Six, Nine, to the south."

"Four, Seven, Eight, to the west."

Once the tasks were assigned, Blade moved out.

They ran into the snowstorm after their targets.

Ten grew more certain as they moved on. "The target is in this direction!"

The team leader was elated. Good.
