Chapter 11: The Jungle and the Hunt
While everyone was inspecting Sean's body, a report from the police came from below, saying that blood stains and strange footprints had been found in the woodland near the front door of the house, and Burke asked Kailot and a few police officers to stay and check if there was anything hidden in the room, and he quickly ran down.

Separated from two colleagues to search the entire house, Kylot was in charge of the attic on the top floor, and on his way up the stairs to the upper floor, he observed several empty rooms, which seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time before Felik moved in.
The room where Sean's body was located looked a little messy, and now seeing the empty room where these clutter were piled up, Kelot also roughly deduced that only Felik lived here recently, and walked all the way to the edge of the stairs, Kelot's eyes narrowed.
On the stairs, which I thought should be as dusty as the next few rooms, there were two rows of quite conspicuous footprints, which seemed to have been climbed by someone, and Kelott raised his feet and wanted to go up, but when he first went up the stairs, he retracted and turned his head to look at the police who were checking on the second floor not far behind him.
He pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose and turned his head to take his steps again, but this time it was Kylot's footsteps that he deliberately controlled, and each foot stepped on the original footprints, because of his large size, the foot board was also much larger than others.
So every footprint covered all the original rows of footprints that had gone upstairs, and when he went up to the attic, he turned his head and looked back, and there were still two rows of footprints on the stairs......
The attic was full of dust, but when no one was around, Kylot directly mobilized the water element to form a protective film on his face, preventing the dust from flying everywhere as long as he moved, and there were also footprints in the attic, probably because he was very relieved, and the people who came here before didn't seem to think of keeping it secret.
Follow the footprints all the way to a small room in the attic, the footprints become a little messy here, and in Kailot's opinion, the owner of the footprints may have come here to find something, or maybe to hide something, and unconsciously wandered around when he hesitated.
"Aha...... Found it!"
Among the clutter piled up next to him, Kylot eventually pulled out a black backpack, which also had some dust on it, but it was obviously because it floated from the objects next to it during the placement process, because the outer side was relatively clean, and it was with this that Kylot found this backpack.
First walked to the staircase and listened to the footsteps for a while, to make sure that no one was leaning over, Kailott squatted down and quickly opened the backpack, checking the contents, in the backpack was placed a money bag, an identity document belonging to Felik on it, and a piece of information that I don't know what it was for.
There is also a very conspicuous weird emblem on the information, Kairot doesn't know but still thinks that this information should be a very useful thing, maybe it can come in handy in the future, just wanted to take the backpack down, thought about it but turned back, frowned and pinched the backpack, Kailot felt that this thing might be better to keep for himself.
There is a money bag in this backpack, just turned it upside down and found that it is quite heavy, there should be some money in it, and secondly, there is an identity certificate inside, although there is a face photo on the identity certificate in this world, but the use of this identity certificate is not just a pass, and it is also good to use it to do something inconvenient to do with your identity certificate in the future.
There was also this information, and Kairot instinctively felt that it might be worth more than the coins in the money bag, and it was inevitable that he would be a little unwilling to hand it over like this, so after thinking about it, Kailot decided to hide it.
He took the money bag and ID cards out of his backpack and put them in his pants pocket, folded them and put them in the pocket inside his trench coat, and finally put the backpack back in place, and moved a wooden box to block it.
When I walked to the staircase, I straightened my clothes a little, removed the water element protection on my face, so that I didn't look abnormal from the outside, and covered it with my own footprints along the row of footprints that went down.
"Kailot, did you find anything? I'm all dust, I've walked around a few rooms, and I'm probably going back to do some laundry. ”
As he walked down the stairs, Kelot noticed that his fellow police officer checking the second floor had just come out of the room that was quite close to the staircase, standing in the doorway and questioning himself.
"There's nothing at all, I wonder if anyone has been here, but I've been looking for a long time and haven't found anything. ”
"Alas...... You're so stupid, don't you see that there are only two rows of footprints on the stairs now? When you came here, you just looked at the stairs, and you didn't have a single footprint, how could anyone have gone up there, you were just busy in vain. ”
To put it nicely, people always like to reflect their sense of superiority, to say it badly, what is the difference between a life that does not pretend to be forced and a salted fish?
Just when the policeman was happy that his IQ had suppressed this big man who looked a little sluggish, he didn't see the same smile in the other person's eyes.
Kylot was worried about how to get the policeman to come over and look at the stairs and find that there were only two rows of footprints, but he didn't expect the people to come over by himself, and he was quite impressed, and then he was quite safe when asked about it.
The two went downstairs to find the police officer on the first floor, and found that he also didn't find anything, and was covered in dust, and was standing at the door with a rag to dust off, and saw Kailot and another person coming down, and reminded the two that it was Sheriff Burke who thought Felik had run into the jungle and was now chasing after him, so they should hurry up and follow.
Feeling the hunger in his stomach, Kailott touched his chin helplessly, and could only take the flare handed to him by the police officer next to him and walk out of the house, and go into the jungle alone.
The jungle that Sean is caring for should be the largest on this side of the port of Duras, and it is still in a fairly primitive state, and there are not too many traces of human beings.
Moreover, based on the hunted beasts that Kylot had seen in his home before, this forest must have been regarded by Sean as his territory.
It's winter, it's just not snowing yet, and like this kind of jungle, most of which are already full of leaves, trampling on the pile of fallen leaves on the ground, Kylot shuttles through the trees, looking at the thick trees around him, hoping to find some wild fruits and other things on them.
Not to mention, after walking in the jungle for about seven or eight minutes, it really made Kailott find a fruit that grows on the bushes, it looks like some kind of wild plum, and after eating two of them, the taste is sweet, so he simply picks a handful and puts it in his hand, and eats it while walking around the jungle.
As for whether it is poisonous or not, Kailot doesn't care too much, the blood of the tide giant gives a strong physique, and the general toxins have long been immune, if this wild plum is really poisonous, his body will also react in advance.
The search for Felik was soon forgotten by Kellot, but the area was too big for it to be easy to find a werewolf in it, so he didn't look for it seriously from the beginning, just waiting for his colleagues to send a flare.
It's just that sometimes it's just such a coincidence, and when you desperately want to find something, you can't find it, but when you don't want to find it, you can't find it.
While wandering around, Kailot accidentally found the carcass of a wild deer, the neck of the carcass had been torn by some kind of beast, and its abdomen had been dissected, and its intestines were flowing all over the ground, this scene reminded him of the corpse in the small park he saw this morning.
He stuffed the plum in his hand into his mouth, swallowed it, and walked around the wild deer, and easily saw a few bloody footprints leading to the left front of his position.
As he walked in this direction, he found more and more marks, such as accidental scratches on some trees and fairly obvious footprints in the pile of fallen leaves.
"What is this...... Werewolves still have this kind of thing?"
It wasn't until he found a black spike in a tree that Kylott began to wonder what he was chasing, thinking that if the information was correct, Sean's brother should also be a werewolf, he had never heard of a werewolf with spikes that resembled a hedgehog.
His body, which had been somewhat relaxed, tensed slightly, and Kylott became interested in this unknown monster.
At this moment, a yellow flare suddenly appeared in the sky above the jungle in the distance, and it was obvious that a police officer had discovered the target, and someone had encountered the werewolf before Kellot, but judging from the things in his hand, it was estimated that the monster could not be called a werewolf, but became another existence.
After running in the direction of the flare for about five minutes, Kailot found that there were three ordinary police officers lying in the open space in front of him, and most of the others were acting together except him, so these three people should have encountered werewolves at the same time, but they were not in a very good state.
There is no danger to life, the two on the left should have been hit to some extent, causing the body to be a little disobedient, and the one on the right was a little unlucky, with a claw on the chest, three more scratches directly on the police uniform, and blood stains kept oozing out of it.
"How's it going, what kind of monster attacked you?"
Squatting between the three of them, Kylot inquired about the situation, he needed to know the monster's current state.
"He looks like a werewolf, but he has a lot of spikes on his back and arms, and he's fast, at least we didn't shoot him a few times in a row, and now he's running in that direction. ”
The injured police officer threw the shotgun in his hand to Kelot, and also took out two boxes of ammunition from his waist to him, and the three people who were injured on his body naturally couldn't move, and the task of chasing the murderer could only be handed over to Kelot.
