The sliver of luck Milady had fought so hard for ran out just as she was about to reach the small lake.
Fanhua's words about Luo Geng being an expert tracker echoed in her mind. On top of that, she had heard that Luo Geng was on the same side of Fantasy Island as her, so she didn't dare get careless. She was completely clueless about how to cover her tracks in the jungle. After some thought, Milady decided to simply walk along the beach.
She didn't walk on the dry sand, but on the wet, packed sand of the foreshore, smoothed by the sea. She glanced back as she walked and saw that, just as she'd hoped, her footprints were washed away by the waves after only a few moments.
Although she was completely exposed walking along the water's edge, and anyone looking from the island toward the beach would spot her immediately, the same logic applied to her attackers. Anyone approaching would be just as exposed, and she would see them long before they got close.
