Artemis is the goddess of the moon, and also the goddess of the hunt.
Hunting is one of her authorities.
While she couldn't yet use her authority in the lower world to enhance her strength due to limitations, tracking was entirely possible.
Last night, to more accurately locate the [Arrow of Orion], she had smeared a bit of divine blood on the end of her spear.
Now, the game begins.
With the [Arrow of Orion] as her prey, her hunting authority could be activated...
"Eastern area? Orion, wait a little longer, you'll be home soon..." Her closed eyes suddenly opened, and Artemis quickly headed towards the eastern part of the Great Tree Sea.
The clash between gods has begun...
At the same time.
Hestia and her group, who entered the Great Tree Sea last, unexpectedly didn't split up to look for people, but gathered together, heading towards the eastern area of the Great Tree Sea with a clear goal.
"Hahaha! Artemis and Astraea definitely didn't expect that I have a super locator that Master Lu gave me!"
"Hmph, trying to compete with me for Master Lu? No way!"
In the dense forest.
Hestia, who Artemis and Astraea unanimously believed to be on the first level, like fish on a griddle, now stood with her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.
This time.
Artemis and Astraea thought they were on the second and third levels, but she, Hestia, was actually in the atmosphere!
"Oh, is that so? But Lily saw that this super locator was brought out by Alfia-sama? Hestia-sama was just complaining with tears in her eyes that she was going to lose Lu Yuan-sama."
Lily rolled her eyes and muttered to the side.
In fact, at the moment Artemis made her head start, Hestia really felt like the sky was falling.
Fortunately, Alfia took out the prop that Lu Yuan had secretly given her, which made Hestia turn from sorrow to joy.
"These are all minor matters! The important thing is that your团长 (Tuánzhǎng, Captain/Leader) is coming back soon!"
For Hestia, with Lu Yuan's props, there was no possibility of losing!
She even couldn't help but complain when she saw the super locator, why Lu Yuan didn't take out the Anywhere Door.
That way, the game could end the moment it started.
"Speed up, Artemis should also have means to track Lu Yuan, don't end up losing and crying."
Picking up the locator in her hand, Alfia looked at the red dot that was stopped in a certain place on it, and immediately directed everyone to continue towards the red dot.
At this moment.
Looking at the map of the entire Great Tree Sea.
It could be found.
Artemis and the Hestia Familia were advancing towards the eastern area where Astraea was located, one from the south and one from the north, with a gap of about one hundred meters.
......
"Astraea-sama, do we really just have to stay here?"
Still in the same location, Alise looked a little uneasy.
She believed that moving was the best choice to win this game.
"Or, should we go deeper into the Great Tree Sea?" Ryu Lion thought for a while with her head lowered, and strongly agreed with what Alise said.
"It's okay, the means I arranged on the road are enough... Wait! None of the auras I simulated have been triggered! Damn it, Artemis has other means of detection, keep moving forward!"
In order to detect Artemis's real-time location.
The aura of the artifact simulated by Astraea would dissipate once triggered.
This was a feint she had laid down.
Now that five minutes had passed since the start of the game.
Not even one simulated aura of her array had dissipated.
Astraea instantly understood everything.
Subsequently.
A game of cat and mouse officially unfolded in the Great Tree Sea.
......
Time flies.
Half a day passed in a flash.
The time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly.
At this time.
Neither Artemis nor Hestia had found Astraea's whereabouts.
However, the two Familias.
Because the routes gradually unified, they finally met first.
Then.
There was no then.
According to Alfia's nature, the moment they met, everyone in the Artemis Familia who had reunited, including the goddess herself, was knocked unconscious by Alfia and tied up.
"Damn it!! Hestia! Let me go! It's not fair to the game for you to do this!"
With her hands and feet tied, Artemis, who was lying on the ground, was flushed with anger, comparable to the former Hestia.
"How about? Should we untie her?" Hestia, feeling pity for her best friend who was wriggling on the ground like a caterpillar, tentatively asked Alfia for her opinion.
"I can tie you and her together, want to try?" Alfia said lightly, looking at Hestia expressionlessly.
"Then never mind." Hestia hurriedly shook her head.
She was standing here well, how could she be willing to be tied up like a caterpillar.
"By the way, what exactly is going on with Astraea and them, have they been running wildly in one direction? It's been half a day, why haven't we found them yet!"
Hestia was extremely depressed.
Half a day.
She had barely rested and had been in a state of rushing.
Even so, she had not found the whereabouts of Astraea and her group.
It was hard to imagine how they did it.
Artemis and the others on the side looked at Alfia together after hearing Hestia's question.
They were also curious about this question.
With the premise that both sides had positioning functions, the members of the Astraea Familia could still avoid them, which was simply incredible!
It couldn't be that the game called [Lu Yuan Scramble] would end up with the referee winning, right?
That would be hilarious.
"Actually, in the past half day, I also have many questions, why does Astraea and her group seem to be able to predict the future, always leading us in circles."
Taking out the super locator in her hand, Alfia looked thoughtfully at the red dot on it that was constantly keeping a long distance from them.
She believed in Lu Yuan's props, there was absolutely no way there would be a problem.
Then, the problem was naturally on the Astraea Familia!
To be able to observe their whereabouts in real-time, there must be an inside agent.
But Alfia also believed that there would never be an inside agent among the members of the two Familias.
So, not an inside agent, but having to be like an inside agent, observing the whereabouts of several people...
Alfia instantly turned her gaze to the sky.
"As expected, is that so... What a bold behavior..."
"What's wrong, what's wrong, Alfia, did you find anything?" Hestia looked anxious after hearing Alfia's words.
"Hestia-sama, please look up, look above." Lily rubbed her forehead and sighed.
"Oh... wait! Isn't that!!!"
Her head jerked up.
A flying dragon appeared in Hestia's sight.
It was the mount that brought them to the Great Tree Sea!
At this moment.
On the back of the flying dragon, a green figure was faintly visible.
If Hestia guessed correctly, it should be Ryu Lion herself!
"How is it possible! Weren't the flying dragons placed by us on the edge of the Great Tree Sea, ready to take them away after the game ended? How..." A large string of question marks suddenly appeared in Hestia's mind.
"Dispatch Ryu Lion alone back to the outer periphery, which is the starting position of the game, and use the flying dragon to observe our whereabouts in real-time..."
"Gods, are really not to be underestimated... well, except for Hestia." Alfia closed her eyes halfway and sighed softly.
The game, became interesting again...
