Chapter 108 Bitten by a Wolf
Chapter 108 Bitten by a Wolf
Vivian leaned against the tree trunk and watched the masked man drift away, a powerful desire to
survive spurring her on, and eventually she stood up and followed the man step by step.
Being in the wilderness, it was about to get dark, and if she was really left here alone, Vivian didn't
know what situation she would face.
But, she didn't want to die!
The masked man walking in front heard a sound behind him and turned around to see Vivian stumbling
after him, and a flash of surprise flashed across the man's eyes.
He didn't say anything, but he slowed down a lot.
This woman was amazingly resilient.
The two walked for a while longer, until the twilight when they couldn't see the road at all. They found a
suitable place to take shelter from the rain.
"Sure it's safe in here?"
This was a cave, and if a mudslide occurred, it could seal off the entrance at any time.
At that point, it would be tantamount to burying two people alive.
Vivian asked as she sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, her lips pale and weak as she looked at
him.
"You can go outside."
The man glanced at her and went to get some dry wood and a lighter to start a fire.
After walking for half a day, Vivian was cold and tired, and finally felt a hint of warmth and fell asleep on
the spot.
The man sitting across from her poked her with a stick, noticing that she was unconscious, while he
looked at the bruise on her arm.
He hesitated for a moment and walked to her, reaching out to touch her, noticing in due course that she
had a high fever, most likely an infection from her arm.
The masked man found the dagger from her and looked at her wound again, inwardly debating whether
or not to help her.
But in the end, nothing was done, except to say, "It is merciful enough not to kill you."
......
It was noon the next day when Vivian woke up again.
Although her head was still foggy, the fever was gone and a strip of cloth was wrapped around her arm
and the wound had been treated.
Fortunately, the cave didn't collapse.
She knew that the masked man had done this.
"Hello, is anyone there? Masked man, are you there?"
Sitting there and shouting, she didn't have any response and she didn't want to shout anymore.
Looking outside as the rain passed and the sky cleared, Vivian didn't dare to delay much and
immediately got up and walked in the direction of the mountain beyond.
Deep in the woods, dense with thorns, it was hard to walk an inch, and she was hungry.
Dragging her tired body through the woods for the day, she found some wild fruits for her belly and
drank some mountain water to support herself.
At night, Vivian found a large tree and climbed up into it to sleep, so that she would not have nowhere
to escape in case the beasts came.
As expected, it was late at night, and Vivian really heard the wolf's cry.
Her heart fluttered with fear and panic.
The only thing she had to defend herself with was the dagger the masked man had left her, and now it
was up to her to live or die.
Sleepless, she leaned against a large tree, trying to reduce her presence, but the sound of wolves
barking gradually closer and closer made her feel extra insecure.
Especially in deep and dense forests, if she was faced with danger, no one could be there to save her.
Abruptly, a wolf craned its neck and howled.
The sound was very close and extraordinarily clear.
Vivian's heart was tense, and she felt insecure in such a dark night.
Vaguely, she spotted a few points of light appear, and when she took a closer look, she couldn't help
but feel chill run down her back.
Because ......
It was glowing with pairs of eyes!
Wolves!
It seemed to smell her scent and came directly this way.
Although Vivian was sleeping in a tree as high as three meters, she looked at twelve bubbling green
eyes, and there were six wolves.
How would she cope, alone?
Vivian wanted to cry.
Shit, was this where she was supposed to die?
The moon was high, and the moonlight fell on the earth, making it seem to be shrouded in a white veil,
and everything was faintly visible.
Knowing that the wolf had a keen sense of smell and must know where she was hiding, Vivian climbed
towards the top of the tree again by the light of the moon.
Despite having climbed high, the trunk of the tree then rang with a whirring sound, the claws of a wolf
scratching the tree, along with wolf howling.
There was a great sense of calling for companionship.
Vivian felt that all the bad luck in her life was generally exhausted in this year, with constant bad luck.
She vowed that when she got out of Liangchuan County and returned to L City, she would go and pray
at the first opportunity.
So, this whole night, Vivian didn't sleep.
Those hungry wolves crouched under the trees all night.
It wasn't until the next day just after dawn that Vivian clearly noticed that the number of wolves had
changed from six to ten!
And, there was absolutely no intention of leaving.
She sat in a tree and looked at the sky in despair, "Will I have to die here?"
When the wolf didn't leave, she couldn't leave either, and a war of attrition developed.
Sleepy, hungry and thirsty, Vivian knew that if this continued, she would eventually be eaten by the
wolf.
So she sat up in a tree, took her dagger and cut down branches, sharpened them into sharp weapons,
and used the bark wisely, tied it into a rope, and tied the sharp sticks together and carried them on her
back.
Using another branch to make a fire directly on the tree, one branch on the tree was wormy and dry, so
she found a place to hitch the extra bark branches together, fumbled for a lighter, and lit it.
The lighter and the dagger were left to her by the masked man, and she was grateful to this mysterious
man.
The fire rose, billowing a stream of smoke, and Vivian watched the mass carefully, keeping it from
falling through the branches, barely able to keep the small fire burning.
A plume of smoke curled up, and she let it grow stronger as she bent branches in the trees and nursed
a pile of fire.
From morning to afternoon, the smoke Vivian set off did not attract help, but the wolves went from ten
to four.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She knew that this was the only chance.
Then she climbed down from a high place and stood three meters high, holding a dagger in one hand
and a sharp wooden stick in the other, and jumped straight down while the wolves were not paying
attention, pressing down on a wolf, the dagger and the wooden stick piercing the body of that wolf on
the spot.
"Ow~~"
The wolf wailed in pain as the remaining three wolves pounced directly.
Vivian reacted extremely quickly and rolled, scurrying away from the wolf to stand by the trunk of the
tree, drawing another sharp wooden stick from behind her and looking at the wolf that was circling
around in front of her, poised to strike.
One of the wolves was the strongest and had the highest tail. Vivian expected that one was the leader!
Locking onto her target, she scurried straight over and took the strike.
But the wolf's reaction was even swifter than Vivian's speed, it dodged and directly bit Vivian's injured
right hand with a single bite.
The fangs were embedded in the skin, and the powerful bite hurt Vivian as she clenched her teeth, but
the wooden stick in her left hand struck instantly, stabbing directly into the wolf's eye, "Go to hell!"
"Ow~~ "
The wolf howled in pain from the intense pain and let go of her arm, and Vivian's dagger in her right
hand struck out swiftly, stabbing it in the right eye.
The wolf couldn't see anything and howled and rolled on the ground in pain.
