Chapter 9: Just the Beginning
Hiss, crackling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The ghost wolf let out a low roar, stepping on dead leaves and broken branches, cautiously approaching me step by step.
It wasn't long before the surrounding wolves forced me against the massive rock wall behind me, blocking my way out.
I sat down on the ground with a slump of strength, looking up as if in abandonment. I wonder if the mimic scales of the ghost wolf were used to make that simulated blue sky? If so, I have to admire that although human beings are small in nature, they can continue to live from generation to generation by relying on their wisdom.
Looking at the false but still beautiful blue sky, I gritted my teeth.
Wisdom is the proof that human beings have continued to live so far, but without the adjustment of certain elements, it will never succeed. This is especially true in the moment when faced with the gap between life and death, and I firmly believe that .......
"Roar. 」
The ghost wolf boss who took the lead caught my distraction and pounced first.
Right now.
Woo——!
The ground shook suddenly.
The loose stone fell from above, striking the predator in front of me, the ghost wolf's skull, crushed and shattered by the stone, and splashed bright green blood stained my stunned face.
The ground shook before it was over, and I felt the boulder behind me shift and turned my head to look. But I saw that the tall rock wall moved as if it had been brought to life.
The rocks kept rolling down from above, and when I saw them, I dodged from side to side as I slowly moved away from the danger zone - the rocks hit the ground and began to crawl like they had grown feet.
The ghost wolf that surrounded me seemed to have lost its leader and was frightened, abandoned its prey, and fled in panic.
I saw that something was wrong and quickly moved away from the rocks.
The height and width of the boulder shrink as the small rocks disperse.
I opened my eyes wide as I looked at the foreign object in front of me, and realized that it was nothing more than a small beast with a hard rock on its back called a rock rat. They're probably resting, awakened by my sudden touch and in a panic.
However, the first thing you want to do when you wake up from sleep should be known without saying.
I held my breath as they scrambled to crash into their companion's backs. The corpse of a ghost wolf that had just died, covered in a swarm of rock rats. Those little things stretched their necks and tore off strips of meat with the sharp teeth in their slender little mouths.
As mentioned in the book, they are carnivorous, mainly eating animal carcasses for survival, and occasionally catching weak-looking animal .......
"——! I'm not a weak animal, go away. 」
I kicked with my little shoesless foot and tried to get close to the rock rat that was trying to bite me.
This attracted the attention of the rest of its companions......
At this moment, the sounder of the neck sounded:
"I wanted to say congratulations on your escape, but God doesn't seem to think that one time is enough, and he has to prove how weak you really are a few more times. 」
"I want you to take care of it! People hiding in a safe place don't talk nonsense, and if you can't get used to it, let me out of this hellish place!"
After scolding the nosy Uncle Buzz, I sped into the woods.
