Found

It took me twelve and a half minutes to reach the woman; I would have reached her sooner, but she was searching for him crazily at her full speed.

Now she had slowed down and looked for him more carefully.

"Any sign?" I asked, to which she shook her head. "These bastards are very hard to find, once they disappeared." 

"They go into this hibernation mode, which makes them nearly invisible to senses," she said, scanning the large area with her soul sense.

"I should have joined you in the battle, but I didn't want to spook it," I said with regret. She smiled at that, "It might have. They run pretty quickly when they see the end of the road for them," she replied.

I didn't say anything and used my methods to look around.

"Thanks, by the way. If not for you; I might have lost a team member or two. Even I might have needed to run away," she said, to which I smiled humbly.
