Chapter 109 (2/2)
“Yep, yep!” Lily nodded vehemently, her wagging tail smacking Hao Ren in the face. (Hao Ren was still being dragged through the air, mind you.) “I even thought of a name, Super Frostfire Collision: Steaming Getaway!”
Casar Ebben almost flung Ewen away upon hearing that. “Which family are you from really? I’ve never heard of a werewolf having such innate abilities.”
“I think she’s probably from the Arctic or the Siberian plains….” Hao Ren sighed. “Probably has something to do with sleds.”
“Oh, frozen plain werewolves? I did hear that there were frequent attacks on human sledding teams a few hundred years back. But they have been silent for many years now. If she’s one of their descendants, perhaps it’s not impossible to have such abilities.”
Hao Ren sighed even harder. “No… Her parents were probably the one pulling the sleds.”
“Huh?”
“Lets just pretend I didn’t say anything.” Hao Ren looked around and noticed that they had already escaped well beyond the veil of the fog. They were in unknown territory. He grabbed Lily by the tail (it was the closest appendage to him) “Enough, let me down please. I’m about to puke.”
Lily was running about happily with the breeze in her face until she felt a tug on her tail. She yelped at the sudden tug and threw Hao Ren about 20 meters away…
While it was not a real toss, but it was close. Hao Ren climbed out of piles of rocks some 20 meters ahead of the rest. His face was understandably grumpy. “…Calm down would you?”
“No one’s tugged my tail before!” Lily looked shaken. “It was only stepped on before. I’m still traumatized by that!”
Casar Ebben could only shake his head at this kin of his who clearly had a screw or two missing in her head. After he set Ewen down by a rock, he spoke, “Seems like we have eluded them for now.”
“I’ve wiped the traces of our presence clean along the way and went on some detours as well. With the thick fog, I think it would take a while for them to catch up. Vivian gazed at Ewen with pity. Despite their kind being hostile to each other, she still had some shred of compassion. “Will he survive?”
“Just a piercing wound. As long as a werewolf can still draw breath, he’ll heal.” Casar nodded and slapped Ewen on the cheek. “How long do you want to pretend sleeping?”
“Ugh….” Ewen groaned as he opened his eyes. “Can’t you let me rest for a while… It hurts… Those demon hunters were sure not holding back. How did they even burn me when I was unconscious?”
Ewen was curious about the scorched marks on the left side on his body and asked. All three who were standing quickly glared at Lily viciously. She did not notice it and she squatted in a corner, grinding her nails against the rocks.
“I don’t understand how so many demon hunters could appear at the same time. Was there a raid or something?”
It was only then did Casar have the time to ask this very important question
