The sound of the last hurried footsteps passing nearby had long since faded, but the hunter was still dormant under his camouflage. Sometimes, hunters also need to mimic their prey's mindset and guess what they are most likely to do next.

However, judging from the current situation, it is indeed his own side that plays the prey.

"So we're hiding for the time being?"

When the sound of the employer's moaning came from the side, in addition to the hunters, the mercenary dew threw a small pebble through the gap in camouflage. As expected, nothing was attracted.

"Of course. Pushing away the large pile of bags that were pressing on his head, Gray Dew gently broke free from the garbage heap, and exhaled as silently as possible, "This position is good to hide, but it stinks a little." ”

"It's not just a little stinky...... I'm almost suffocating. You too, can't you choose a better place?"

With the help of Grey Dew to remove the human household garbage that had been pressed on his back, Gagaya covered her nostrils with her webbing and couldn't help but grumble. He had planned to escape to another tavern in the southern part of the city alone, looking for another chance to escape from Dree City, but now he ......

"You are now running away from your prey, and the choices I have made for you are the safest and most efficient. Glancing at the street lamp directly in front of her, Gray Lu patted her employer's arm and motioned for him to go to the back of the alley. The tooth wolf clan's sense of smell is very good, so the suffering she has suffered during the time she has been dormant just now is much greater than that of Gagaya.

Taking advantage of the fact that the clean-up workers who were carrying the garbage out of the city in the middle of the night had not yet arrived, Gray Lu divided the garbage back into its place, and then left the place and hurried to chase Gagaya.

"Do you think there's any point in hiding all night like this?"

By the time Grey Lu caught up with his employer, he was already standing at the end of the alley.

Looking at the dim street lights on the street, Gray Dew took out the map from the backpack he had purchased in the evening and glanced at it, "This will completely disrupt the deployment of your future patriarch." Don't ask me how I know, I guess. ”

"Oh. ”

Even if the gray dew is not clear, Gagaya herself knows why she has been trapped in Dre City for so long.

Stretching out the rough map of the commercial business of Derui City in front of Gagaya, regardless of whether he could see it or not, Gray Lu stretched out his claws and pointed to a few locations, "We killed one tail biting in Nancheng District, two stunned in Xicheng District, and injured one in Dongcheng District, so there are traces of our actions in all four urban districts." ”

"Tell me about your plan. ”

"It was getting dark, and I was wearing a veil, so they thought they didn't see me. ”

Ash Lu was at this time, on the edge of a residential area south-west of the northern city, near the slum where the killers had clashed yesterday evening. After a big circle with the "tails", they returned to the dark position under the lamp.

"And then?"

"Go upstairs first. ”

Putting away the map, the man-wolf girl used her four paws together, propping up the walls on both sides of the alley and sending her body upwards. By the time she had made it a little hard to reach the roof, the duckman Gagya was already sitting on the edge of the house, eating dried sea vegetables by herself.

Midnight had passed, and two bright moons of silver and purple hung high in the sky, unobscured by the clouds, as if God was watching all things he had created.

"To be honest, I doubt why you're helping me so much. ”

"If I have to say it, it's a contract. Gray Lu herself didn't understand whether she was acting recklessly or keeping her creed. Looking at the slums across the street in the Yunman Mountains, which was equivalent to a burial ground of bones, she also found a place to sit down, took out a piece of jerky from her bag and nibbled on it.

"Gah?"

"Once we Tooth Wolf people sign a contract with others, even if it costs us our lives, we will carry it out. ”

"But the contents of our contract ......"

"It's because I can't solve those killers with my strength that I retreat to the next best thing and protect your life. Seeing that Gagaya's eyes were full of consternation, Gray Lu stretched out his claws and rubbed his nose, and laughed at himself with some embarrassment: "Woo, if my father was here, he would definitely scold me, saying that I was opportunistic." ”

"I think it's a reasonable adaptation. Ga, I'm so envious that your father can still reprimand you. ”

During the night trying to escape the Killers' tracking, Grey Dew was fortunate enough to find out some of the reasons why he was being hunted down from Gagaya. At the same time, she also learned that the parents of this duck people warrior are no longer in the mortal world.

"Ah...... Let's go, I'll take you to the hiding place first. When the moon is obscured by clouds again, it will be difficult to walk. ”

"Okay. ”

"That's close to me. ”

The rooftops of the residential areas near the slum side are largely unattended, allowing you to avoid both guard patrols and the eyes of potential killers. Gagaya is a wind elf, and he is a duck man, and he can easily glide between the rooftops of various buildings, and his bounce power is not bad, and it is not too difficult to jump through the alleys between buildings.

So, in the sleepy city of Dre, the Tooth Wolf Hunter and her employer took advantage of the darkness to return to the tailor's shop without attracting attention.

Knock knock - knock knock -

"Well, in the middle of the night...... Who?"

"It's me. ”

"Miss Luxue?"

It was the cat-eared maid Yuna instead of the human maid Hirsch who opened the door, which made Grey Dew breathe a sigh of relief. It's much easier to communicate with subhumans than with humans - not to mention their not-so-normal eldest lady.

In Yuna's puzzled gaze, Grey Lu pulled Gagaya with her webbed claws on the hilt of her sword and dodged into the backyard.

After making sure that there was no tail, Gray Dew closed the courtyard door and explained to Yuna, "Yuna, this is my employer Gagaya, we have encountered some problems and delayed time, and we want to borrow a room in the backyard to rest. ”

In the backyard, near the tailor's shop, there was an oil lamp hanging from the door, and by the light, Gagaya and Yuna looked at each other. After both sides thought that the other should have no malicious intent, Yuna spoke first.

"Yes, yes...... But there's only one shed in the backyard for miscellaneous items, Miss Luxue, do you sleep with this Mr. Duckman?"

"There's a blanket in the box, and I'll just sleep on the bullock cart. ”

"Then what's the matter, you're a girl after all......" Late at night in early summer, the temperature is still a little low. Looking at the ox cart parked next to the stable, which was neither sheltered from the wind nor rain, Yuna was relieved, and reached out to pull the gray dew, "It's better to come to the house and squeeze with me." ”

"I'm a human wolf, this little bit of temperature is a little meaningful. ”

"Lu Xue, you can rest assured to go to sleep, I won't say goodbye. Miss Yuna, can you lend me an oil lamp? I'll pay the rent. ”

Seeing that Gagaya also said the same, Gray Lu was not good at refusing to excuse herself, so she accepted Yuna's kindness.

"Hmm...... That's fine. Yuna, please go and help Mr. Gagaya get a lamp first, and I'll explain a few words to him and go over. ”

"Good. ”

When Yuna left, Grey Lu walked briskly to the ox cart and took out a blanket from it and threw it to Gakaya.

"So, that's your way?"

"I listen to my ...... The uncle said that vehicles going out of town would not be checked too closely. Patting the half-height fence of the cargo box, Gray Lu smiled slightly, "If you don't have a better way, such a blatant 'smuggling', why not give it a try?"
