Chapter 44. Doomed(2/2)
The black-haired wolf-headed man thought for a moment and realized his problem - the prey was actually right in front of him, wasn't it?
He turned his attention to the wardrobe next to the door.
The source of the smell was right in front of him, or to be precise, in the closet in front of him.
This was the place where the boy's scent was strongest, and the intuition he had developed from hunting all year round also told him what should be in this closet.
So he raised his knife and stabbed straight at the wardrobe. The sharp tip of the knife immediately pierced the closed wardrobe.
After stabbing it in, I surprisingly didn't hear the prey's moans. I guess it wasn't hit yet.
So he kicked the closet, pulled out the long knife while holding the closet, and stabbed it in again.
"Ugh!"
This time he seemed to hear something and was sure that there was indeed a living thing hidden in the closet.
He pulled the long knife out of the cabinet again and stabbed it in from another direction. This time, bright red blood appeared on the blade.
Ha ha!
The wolf-headed man laughed ferociously, making sure that the prey was injured.
What more tricks can an injured rat pull?
Convinced that the people inside had no way to escape, he put down the knife and opened the cabinet with several holes poked out.
"Um?"
The black-haired wolf-headed man opened his mouth in surprise, and then closed it again. Two rows of sharp teeth squeezed against each other, making a rattling sound.
He was fooled.
There are many shabby clothes piled up in this wardrobe. This may be because the family is relatively poor, or it may be that many of the items have been taken away.
Of course this is not something that needs immediate attention.
The important thing is that there is no human boy here.
The only living thing that existed was a mouse. Next to the gray-skinned mouse, the body of another mouse had been broken into two parts. Moreover, this one also had a gash in its belly, and its whole body was twitching. It was obviously alive.
Not long anymore.
At first glance, it was clear that these two mice were the real owners of the blood stains on the long knife.
The two mice may have escaped from the fire by running in through a gap somewhere in the closet. But they didn't expect that they would not be able to escape here.
"Bagnossa Chedifen (where did that boy go?)?"
The black-haired wolf-headed man suddenly felt that he had been insulted again.
He was very sure that there were traces of the boy in this closet. His nose would not lie to him. At least the human boy had definitely stayed in this closet.
This young man must have left his clothes and coat here on purpose. The coat that was filled with the smell of a young man caused him to make a mistake in judgment.
But even so, it was impossible for the human boy to leave the room.
At least the boy was still in this room before he came here, and nothing can slip out now.
Where have you gone? Where have you gone?
The nervous-looking black-haired wolf-headed man turned his gaze out the window.
Because the window was blocked, he couldn't see anything.
But that direction is where his comrades are fighting. I believe that these powerful wolf-headed warriors have already cut off the heads of those two human cowards.
But if he lets an underage human kid run away, what face will he have in the tribe when he returns?
While he was in a hurry, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to observe the room from a certain angle - from above.
Just like a falcon preying on a hare, the hare often cannot escape. After all, not everyone can detect the crisis coming from above.
But just as he raised his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The broken beam in the room became a single-plank bridge. Knowing that he had no other way out, the boy climbed along the crossbar to another intact beam.
The young man hid his body and prepared to wait for the opportunity. He didn't want to come into contact with the wolf-headed man. It would be best if he could avoid it.
But it was obvious that this wolf-headed man was very alert. When the wolf-headed man turned his gaze upwards, the boy knew that he could no longer hide.
Even so, the young man did not sit still and waited for death. He rushed towards the wolf-headed man with a sharp weapon.
"Uh-huh!"
The boy let out a scream, and the sneak attack failed.
The speed of the other party's reaction was beyond his expectation. He was hit in the abdomen by the wolf-headed man's palm just as he fell from the rafter.
The arrow that was about to pierce the vital part was also missing its aim, and it only hit the thick fur of the wolf-headed man. It did not hurt or itch the wolf-headed man at all.
The tall and terrifying black-haired wolf-headed man pulled out the arrow stuck in the hair on his head and broke it in half.
The young man lost his crossbow, but he still had the remaining crossbow arrows in his hand, but even this unseemly weapon was gone just now.
Now the young man fell to the ground clutching his stomach, almost empty-handed, and the wolf-headed man moved his arms as thick as pillars and pulled out the long knife stuck in the ground.
clang!
The knife struck the boy who was lying on the ground mercilessly. The desire to survive made the boy roll quickly on the ground in a mess, and the knife edge failed again.
Although it was dangerous, he finally escaped.
It was obvious that the black-haired wolf-headed man had lost his patience and had no intention of surviving.
Or maybe there was none in the first place, but now I feel more urgent to take the life of this human boy.
The black-haired wolf-headed man once again pulled out his long knife from the ground. It seemed that it was not difficult to dodge the wolf-headed man's attack. But in fact, as long as the boy was a little slower and was hit once, he would die.
"Huha...huha..."
The boy was panting, his heart seemed to be beating too fast and burst.
He immediately got up from the ground, ignoring the pain all over his body and not looking at the sword light coming from behind, and rushed directly to the door.
Chapter completed!
