Chapter 237: A Failed Hunt
In this world, the relationship between prey and hunter is very delicate... Fastest update visit: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ . No one can be sure of their place in the game of survival, but for wolfwalkers, they are natural stalkers, predators who walk in the dark. Anything that is targeted by their wolf eyes has little chance of getting rid of the doom of the 'kiss' of the dead wolf. Even if the other party is a 'female' witch......
"Whew!" as Jack pressed the shadow wrapped around his hand against the wall of the alley, the flaming mass quickly disappeared between the brick cracks in the building's wall. It was a small trap left behind by the guy he was tracking, and such a magical mechanism could probably cause problems for many people, but werewolves who were naturally immune to magic were not among them.
"Boring tricks. Wolfwalker said with a movement of his neck. He could have knocked down the target of the tracking, but out of caution, Jack still wanted to see where the frightened lamb would flee through more tracking. It would be great if the position of the flock could be obtained from her.
But Jack's hopes were dashed. Perhaps realizing that he would not be able to escape the pursuit no matter what, the prey pursued by the wolfwalkers finally stopped in a deep part of the countless alleys of the royal capital. The young man, who looked to be dressed as an apprentice of the Apothecary Society, stared at Jack who jumped off the roof and landed in front of him with eyes that did not match his appearance.
Without using the werewolf's abilities, Jack could also sense that there was definitely something wrong with the man. Because his eyes are so special, even as a wolfwalker, Jack has to admit that these eyes have a 'fascinating' charm. They should be the most famous princess or princess in the neighboring countries, or even a demon or devil who feeds on the souls of men, a pair of eyes that will be remembered for a lifetime.
"You have beautiful eyes. The werewolf said. Although he didn't transform at this time, Jack's figure was already taller than this person. And when he said this condescendingly, the tone of his mouth was like teasing a little girl.
Hearing Jack's words, the man in the clothes of the 'apothecary' apprentice began to change somewhat. His skin began to slack and swell, like a fermented dough, and at the same time, the 'hair' and texture on his skin began to fall off and disappear, and soon, the man was swollen and unpresentable. But that wasn't the end of it, when the swelling of the skin stopped, the man's two hands began to tear at his own swollen skin. As large chunks of skin were torn off, the man in front of Wolfwalker's eyes was gone, replaced by a 'woman' and 'sex' who looked to be in her early twenties.
There is no doubt that the other party is a 'woman' witch, a being who is the same as Emia and Kolandy. And now, the 'woman' witch looked at the wolfwalker in front of her with her eyes, and although she tried her best to hide it, her trembling limbs still 'revealed' the fact that she feared.
"What? You disguising yourself and not daring to talk to me?" asked Jack, tilting his head to look at the 'woman' in front of him, taking a step forward.
Following the Wolfwalker's footsteps, the 'female' witch quickly retreated, but there was only a wall behind her. Looking at Jack, who was getting closer and closer to him, the eyes of the 'witch' 'revealed' a desperate 'color'.
Seeing the other party's reaction, the werewolf's expression became bored. Originally, he thought that Cheese let himself chase how powerful the target was, but now it seems that this 'female' witch has only influenced the ordinary people around him with those strange eyes. And since her eyes can't affect Jack, then she's not a threat at all.
"Cheese guy really gave me a boring task. Shaking his head, the werewolf reached out and grabbed the 'witch' by the collar, in his eyes, the 'witch' could not hurt him in the slightest.
But if the other party really can't hurt him, then why does Jack's outstretched hand bleed?
"Ahh He withdrew his hand at breakneck speed, while also seeing why he was in pain. Dense wounds were all over Jack's right hand, and blood was flowing down the cracks and out of his body.
"What did you do?" The familiar pain and the fact that the injury didn't heal quickly meant that she used silver no matter how the other party hurt the werewolf. And the thought of the only metal that could kill him made the wound on Jack's abdomen begin to ache faintly.
Seeing the wolfwalker's reaction, the 'female' witch, who had just looked scared to death, instantly fell silent. She looked at Jack with those beautiful frightening eyes and smiled sweetly. At this time, the werewolf discovered that in addition to the eyes, this 'female' witch was also a beautiful woman unexpectedly.
"What did I do? Hehe, you naturally need to use silver to deal with the wolfwalkers, do you need me to explain this kind of thing?" said the 'woman' witch with a smile, tilting her head.
The other party's reaction made Jack understand that he was probably being tricked by the 'witch' previous performance, and the other party did not intend to try to escape from his pursuit from the beginning, but secretly set a trap in a way of showing weakness. At this time, the werewolf's keen eyesight finally allowed him to discover what had 'hurt' him. It was a series of thin threads that were imperceptible to the human eye, and they were like a spider's web between the werewolf and the 'witch', and the web was not made of spider silk, but silver.
Jack's wolf eyes narrowed, he looked at the other party's smug look, and knew that the last thing he could do at this time was to be willful. The lamb in front of him was not as tasty as it seemed, and under the cover of the sheepskin, he could not be sure whether what he was chasing was still prey.
"Do you think these silver threads can stop me?" the Wolfwalker threatened, silver is not a metal known for its hardness, and it is still stretched into the shape of this thread. No weapons are needed, just a stone, and Jack can destroy the net.
"You can try, my dear big dog. But be careful, my companions can come at any time. When the time comes, I might actually take you back as a pet. "The 'woman' witch said to the werewolf lightly, and judging by her smile, she should have absolute confidence in these silver threads. At the same time, although it may be just a bluff, the companion in her mouth also makes Jack feel uneasy.
"Bump!" the enraged werewolf punched a terrible dent in the wall. However, this act of venting anger made the 'witch' smile even happier, because it showed that Jack really couldn't do anything about her now.
"Purr!" the wolfwalker grinned low, his teeth long and sharp with rage, and the blood of the beast in his body prompted him to rush forward and tear the 'woman' who had angered him to shreds, making her pay for her actions. If it was just after completing the transformation, Jack would definitely do it, but as a true hunter, it is an eternal subject to compete with his own blood-eating 'desire'.
"Be patient, be patient. Jack whispered the words his father had always repeated when he taught him to hunt, and the teeth in his mouth gradually retracted. At the same time, the wolfwalker remembered the appearance of the 'female' witch in front of him.
"You have beautiful eyes, and I think they should be just right for my first collection. With these words, the werewolf jumped up and jumped onto the house next to him, and left. In Jack's perception, a lot of people with obvious hostility were approaching the alley.
