Chapter 267- Selling Elixirs
'Is it done?' Simon wondered, he used his [Detect Presence] skill and spread it all around to search for any monster that was coming near. His eyes widened when he saw multiple monsters like the direwolves and warring mandrills which were initially heading towards their direction, suddenly stop their charge and look around the surrounding in confusion.
They tried to utilise their strong nose and sense to sniff the blood in the air but the moment, the barrier was raised, all the scent and presence drifting off from the campsite was cut off leaving the monster bewildered.
With no signs of prey or food, these monsters naturally dispersed off to different directions. Seeing the amazed look in his eyes, Adalinda lightly commented.
"Hmph, you don't have to be surprised, with the barrier I have raised, even if it's a monster above level 700, it won't be able to detect it. Though there aren't any in this Northern Outlaw Forest".
