By now, the chase had reached the valley. Since the cat could not cross it, it ran straight upstream. If Jude remembered correctly, the place it was running toward was close to where he had heard an Archaic Bear's roar last time. With sweaty palms, he lowered the drone. Maybe, just maybe, he would actually see the bear.
The barking of the wolves sounded ferocious through the cheap speakers. But the cat did not look back. It turned and kept running. Suddenly, it nearly slipped on a stone near the water's edge. Jude was completely absorbed in rooting for the cat and hoped it would escape. Just not when he was the one hunting it. It was a bit strange, but people were usually like that.
Suddenly, the trees upstream shook, and something appeared from the tree line.
