Chapter 47 – Who Woke Up Who (2/2)

Anger, remorse, humiliation, and a painful past are often the driving force for people to push forward, but this driving force was too sad and too painful… When Caesar was awakened from his dreams, he felt that his eyes were a little damp.

“What’s wrong, Lin Xiao?” He pretended that he was still sleepy and took the opportunity to wipe his eyes.

Lin Xiao lowered his volume and whispered, “Listen! There seems to be movement in the surroundings…”

Seeing Lin Xiao’s serious expression, Caesar also realized the danger. He laid on the ground and listened carefully to the wind around him. Sure enough, there were many low and heavy footsteps to the south. The sound did not seem to be human, but some kind of demonic beast.

Was it a surprise attack? Caesar quickly picked up his broadsword and raised his awareness.

“Shh, wait a minute… It doesn’t seem to be coming towards us. I feel that the footsteps are getting farther and farther.”

“Farther and farther?” Caesar was stunned.

It was definitely the footsteps of the Jackalweres, but the other party did not seem to notice them. In other words, as long as they quietly hid here, there was no danger.

Just in case, Caesar believed that it would be better to prepare for the battle.

“Rosie, wake up…”

“Ah? What? I still haven’t slept enough yet, it’s not my turn to keep watch… What? Wuuu!!!” Before the drowsy Rosie made more noise, Caesar reached out first and covered Rosie’s mouth.

Rosie, who was just awakened from her sleep, thought that she had been taken away by some Jackalwere, and was scared to death. She mistook Caesar’s hand as a Jackalwere’s tongue, thinking that she was being licked again, she resisted out of fear and bit it!

“Ffffu…” A few drops of blood in his palms oozed out, but Caesar clenched his teeth, resisted the pain and did not say anything!

“Eh? Caesar, it was you? S-sorry, but why are you… What? Wuuu!!!” Just as Rosie wanted to talk, she was again stopped by Caesar.

Lin Xiao broke a cold sweat watching him from the side.

As expected of Caesar, can he treat girls any more roughly?

“Shh, there are Jackalweres nearby, be quiet… nod if you understand.” Caesar said.

“Wu wu wu!” Rosie nodded like a chicken pecking corn.

“Lin Xiao, what should we do next, do you want to move?” Caesar asked, while letting go of Rosie, he found a small piece of cloth and wrapped it around where he was bitten.

“Wuu…” Lin Xiao looked at Rosie with a distressed look but didn’t say anything.

This missy, how did you come to like this idiot, Caesar?

Finally liberated, Rosie took a deep breath, for fear of being smelled by the Jackalweres, she quickly wiped off the blood on her lips. Her expression was a little coy, she didn’t know whether she should apologize for biting Caesar, or she should blame Caesar’s rudeness.

She also quickly noticed the sound in the forest, but she looked around at the surroundings like she was looking for something.

“Rosie, what are you looking at? The Jackalweres are to the south.” Caesar asked strangely.

“No, I feel like something missing…” Rosie yawned and thought that she was just sleepy. “We had four people, right? But now there are only three people… Where’s Elena? Why don’t I see her?”

Mindless words can have a huge effect.

“What? Elena!?” Lin Xiao was shocked, nervous and looking around, but found nothing.

If it wasn’t for Rosie’s reminder, he and Caesar didn’t even notice that Elena was gone!

“Lin Xiao, it should be Elena’s turn to keep watch right now…” Caesar suddenly had a bad feeling. “You woke me up, I woke Rosie up, and Elena is not here… If it was not Elena, who woke you up?”

Yeah, who woke up Lin Xiao?

“This…” Lin Xiao’s expression was grave and whispered, “I, I was awakened by a cry for help.”

“Cry for help?”

“Cry for help?”

Caesar and Rosie asked together.

“Ah, not long after I went to sleep, I faintly heard someone shouting for help. I thought it was just a nightmare. Could it be… damn it!” After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao suddenly stood up and walked around the surroundings, seemingly wanting to find the strange cry for help again.

Caesar and Rosie looked at each other and their hearts sank.

That might have not been a nightmare, but a real cry for help! Elena’s cry for help!

“Save me! Save me…”

Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from the silent forest. Although the voice was weak and inaudible, the three people could just hear it.

“Listen! That was the voice!” Lin Xiao was getting emotional.

“… Don’t tell me, was Elena taken away by that group of Jackalweres??” Rosie gulped nervously.

It’s over, something big happened.
