Chapter 542: No Solution

“Huh?” Parna suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the opposite direction of Dean. He frowned and looked at the sound location. The corners of his mouth curled up, showing a sneer, “Diversion? Humph, that was a good idea. Unfortunately, the execution was too clumsy.”
Whoosh!
His figure flickered, jumping fast from tree to tree like a monkey.
In a blink of an eye, Parna’s figure appeared in the dense jungle, surrounded by strange colored spotted-trees. In front of him, there was a little crevice, and a collapsed big tree that was covering a dark cave under it. The entrance wasn’t big, about half a meter in diameter, so the monster hidden inside wasn’t big.
Parna glanced at the cave and saw a huge shadow. It was a wild boar-shaped monster, about three meters tall, and the whole body was covered with sharp thorns like a hedgehog. It kept groaning in pain while running away.
His brows knitted in a frown. Did the previously heard sound come from this monster?
He looked pensive.
Meanwhile, Dean’s body curled up tightly, and his heart filled with unprecedented tension. He felt like his heart almost stopped beating. He only hoped that time would pass faster.
…
Parna pondered for a while, and then his cold eyes looked to the monster that almost disappeared from his line of sight. His eyes fell on its stomach position which bulged slightly like being full of food.
“Humph!” Parna sneered, “A petty trick!”
His figure flitted across. Leaping from tree to tree, he caught up with the monster in a blink of an eye.
Bang!
He landed on the monster’s shaky back, but the violent shaking didn’t throw his body out of balance. He lifted his foot and stomped on the monster’s back, forcing it to fall down on its knees. Accompanied by a painful wail, the monster’s knees crashed hard on the ground.
Parna leaned over and punched the monster’s head; his fist broke through its skull. The monster screamed a little before its body slowly fell and died.
Parna jumped down and looked indifferently at the corpse, saying, “Come out by yourself.”
There was no reaction from the corpse.
Parna waited for ten seconds. Seeing that Dean was still playing dead, he was too lazy to wait any longer and said coldly, “Considering that you’re pretty smart, I can make you an undercover for Wing Family. Do you want to die, or do you want to follow me?”
There was still no reaction; the bulge in the stomach was still motionless.
Parna’s eyes glimmered with anger. He raised his hand and swiftly slash the stomach with his fingertips. The stomach was easily split open. Along with blood, the internal organs slid out of the stomach. Among these internal organs, a large object was covered with blood. It was a large stone.
Parna was stunned.
Large stone?
Wasn’t that kid hiding inside the stomach?
He soon came to a realization, and killing intent flashed in his eyes. He was unexpectedly played by the stinky kid!
“Damn!” He clenched his fist. If he found Dean, he would cut his body to pieces!
He quickly restrained his anger and regained his calm. His eyes turned and scanned the surrounding jungle, looking carefully at everything. Soon, he saw a dent in the ground; it was the same shape as the large rock. Automatically, a picture emerged in his mind: Dean ran here and stuffed the large stone into the monster’s stomach, causing the monster to flee and drawing his attention!
What a cruel and cunning kid!
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the surroundings again, but found no trace. He closed his eyes, and the world suddenly quieted down.
He lifted his foot and gently stomped on the ground.
After a while, he opened his eyes and flew to the other direction.
Whew!
Seeing the youth leaving, Dean sighed with relief. His body was curling up in the mud inside the cave. The cold mud was as cold as his ice blood. His whole body was frozen stiff.
He restrained the instinct of his body to shiver and remained motionless. He didn’t come out of hiding yet.
Whoosh!
A few minutes later, a breeze swept over, and the youth returned here. He looked around and didn’t see Dean’s figure. Seemed somewhat angry, he stomped on the ground and left again.
Dean was still hiding in the mud. Although his eyes were closed, his vision could penetrate his eyelids and see the heat source outside. When he saw the youth leaving, he was a little relieved. This time, the youth probably really left for good.
He could no longer hold on. Shivering, he slowly climbed out of the mud and crawled out of the cave. Soon, he came out of the hole. Breathing the fresh air outside, he felt like being reborn.
“Finally willing to come out?” Suddenly, a cold voice was heard.
Dean suddenly stopped breathing.
He raised his head and looked at the figure sitting on the tree next to the cave. He was the Wing Family’s youth!
He didn’t leave?
Dean was dumbfounded
Parna looked at the shock on Dean’s face, and his lips curled into a smirk; there was a feeling of pleasure in his heart. With an indifferent expression, Parna said, “Can insist until now… Kid, you are pretty good.”
Dean stared at him in a daze. After a moment, he understood the reason, and his expression became ugly.
“It seems that you’ve guessed it.” Parna was a little surprise when he saw Dean’s face changed. Smiling indifferently, Parna said, “You’re underestimating me if you want to confuse my hearing. So far, no one can escape from me!”
Dean broke into a cold sweat, and his mind was chaotic. He knew why the youth could find him — echolocation!
When Parna stomped on the ground before, apparently he wasn’t angry, but observing the surroundings using echolocation. Echolocation usually used in the submarines from the old era; however, in this current era where human could have inhuman strength, the human body could also achieve this step!
Even if he eliminated all the sounds, he could still be detected by the echolocation. There was no solution for this perception ability!
