After Judith's hounds ensured that for the next 2 kilometers, there was no Wiangrine in sight, Erik decided to head south with the rest of his team.
They were currently heading deep into the forest, close to a small cliff from which a small waterfall flowed. Erik knew this waterfall was the source of a nearby river, probably the one where Gwen was some time before, and that close to water sources, there was a high chance of finding thaids.
He was right. Judith's hounds found a hundred Noks there. The group rushed through the forest, hoping to reach the Noks before the other teams.
Allied teams wouldn't venture there since they coordinated to avoid targeting the same thaids while staying close enough to prevent ambushes. However, other competing teams could still target these creatures.
"Are you sure we can do this, Erik?" Anderson asked.
"Why shouldn't we? If anything goes bad, we can simply use your power."
However, a look of reluctance appeared on Anderson's face.
