We Might Have A Problem

"How do they keep finding me?" Reynolds, who was currently hiding in a hole in a tree, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the north. 

It has been over six hours since he killed the two young ladies, he had tried to recover his elemental essence, but before he even properly started cultivating, he would sense the aura of the group. At first, he thought they only managed to locate him out of pure luck, but after it happened a second and third time, he knew it was not by luck, they had a way of searching for him. 

The thought of waiting to question them passed through his head, but when he thought of the battle that would ensue right after, he decided against it. He could fight against two, but five was too much for him to handle. 

He got out from the tree and started heading in another direction. 

'At this rate, it'll be hard for me to recover. I can't set an ambush for them since they can sense my location.' He thought while walking.
