326 The Beast

Although it was quiet all around, I felt that the owner of the silver light was still there.

If the other party didn’t want me to die, they must ensure that I lived.

I thought about it and decided to take a gamble.

I was still wandering around the trees, seemingly looking for a way out.

Creak! I stepped on a dead branch, making a loud sound in the quiet forest.

“Ah!”

I screamed as if I was frightened by the sound. I took two quick steps and accidentally tripped over a stone, falling directly to a tree on the side.

My head suddenly hit the thick tree trunk, making a muffled sound, and I fell straight down.

My face was stuck to a pile of dead leaves, and I could smell the wet and musky smell of the soil. My hands were limply hanging on both sides of my body as if I had fainted and died.

One, two, three, ten, eleven…

I counted in my heart. Finally, I heard light footsteps from the ground.

There was indeed someone!

My heart suddenly beat faster, but my body remained still. Only my eyelashes trembled slightly.

I needed to wait for him to come closer. Only a patient hunter could catch his prey. I knew I only had this one chance.

The footsteps got closer and closer, but a trace of doubt grew in my heart.

It didn’t sound like a human’s footsteps. Instead, it sounded more like the pawns of a wild beast.

I felt my heart clench. If I misjudged and the one I was chasing wasn’t a person but a pure beast, then not only would I not be able to find a way out, but I would also have to fight with the beast.

‘May the Moon Goddess bless me, please don’t!’

The other party cautiously stopped in front of me. Judging from its breathing, it maintained a distance of about five yards from me.

At this moment, my heart had completely sunk. The other party was not human.

It had the unique heavy breathing of an animal. I didn’t hope it could get me out of here. I wanted it to lose interest in me and leave.

However, it hesitated for a while before tentatively walking toward me.

I could sense that it was huge and covered in a thick layer of fur. It should be some large beast.

After circling me a few times, it touched my face with its slightly cold nose.

It was now.

I suddenly opened my eyes and swung my forearm, which had turned into a wolf’s claw.

The other party was shocked, and he nimbly jumped back, turning around and running.

Its move was completely out of my expectations. I was already prepared for battle, thinking it had come to devour me.

However, why did he run away after smelling me?

I got up from the ground and chased after it without thinking.

I had another guess in my heart. The other party was not a beast but a werewolf.

Although I didn’t know why he was in his beast form and why he was following me, I’d know the answer as long as I caught up to him.

Moreover, from his actions, he didn’t seem to have any intention of hurting me, did he?

In the continuous pursuit, I finally saw the other party’s appearance. It was a silver wolf jumping in the forest like a silver light. He was very agile, but Mia was even faster. The improvement to her body after becoming a Lycan was beyond her imagination. The distance between us was visibly closing.

Soon, I was almost there.

‘He’s slowing down. He’s almost out of strength,’ I concluded.

Just as I thought I was about to succeed, I suddenly heard a loud shout.

“Who’s there?”

Was someone there?

I was distracted for a moment and realized that the silver light about to catch up to me suddenly accelerated and disappeared from my sight again.

‘I’ve been tricked again.’ That was the first thought that came to my mind.

I stopped in frustration and turned in the direction of the voice. It was a human voice, I was sure.

I’d like to see who else would appear in this forest.

Even if they could not find clues about the silver wolf, it was possible to find someone they could talk to and then find an opportunity to return.

‘Someone is teasing me.’

Just as I was about to speak, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes and pushed me to the side.

What was this?

Immediately after, a large blinding white light was projected from a distance and fixed on the place where I had just stopped.

Just as I was about to struggle to get up, the other party covered my mouth tightly. The arm in front of me was thick and strong. It looked familiar.

I couldn’t think too much about it. I just felt that the white light represented some hope. I began to struggle, but the other party was too strong. No matter what I did, he wouldn’t move.

I made up my mind and opened my mouth to bite the arm.

I used some strength, and two rows of teeth marks immediately appeared on the arm. Red blood faintly seeped out from his skin.

I felt the body behind me tighten, and I let out a painful gasp from between my teeth. However, I still didn’t let go of my hand. Instead, he used his other hand to pinch my butt. This person was a hooligan!
