Difenni Village, the turmoil in this abandoned village has not yet subsided.

When the boy saw that Heimer and Zeref were surrounded by wolf-headed men, he wanted to continue providing remote support.

But the opponent is not stupid. These wolf-headed men who have been tempered on the battlefield for a long time certainly understand that the boy, the crossbowman who shoots cold arrows from behind, is a great threat.

When the black-haired wolf-headed man with blood still dripping from his shoulder looked in his direction, the young man secretly thought something was wrong.

Apparently the enemy had observed where he was hiding, so the young man immediately changed his position.

But there was no cover nearby, and he was immediately discovered by the opponent as soon as he ran, but there was nothing he could do.

The young man understood that if he didn't run, his position would be exposed and he would only become more passive.

As expected, the black-haired wolf-headed man rushed towards the young man and closed the distance between him and the running young man.

The young man had just run to a new broken wall. With his back against the wall, his breath was still confused and he was still trying to load the crossbow.

But the approaching murderous intention made the young man's whole body tremble uncontrollably, and it was difficult to stabilize the movements of his hands.

The crossbow arrow that was about to get stuck in the crossbow slot popped out of the slide several times, and the arrow could not be loaded successfully.

"Damn it!"

Suddenly, a familiar chill hit from the right side. Out of instinct, the young man quickly rolled toward the left while holding the crossbow.

clang!

The sharp knife struck the young man's original position, creating a deep groove in the stone slab on the ground.

The boy, who was covered in sweat, felt a chill running down his spine. If he had been a little slower just now, he believed he would have been split in half by the knife.

"Ha ha…"

He gasped loudly, trying to revive the heart in his chest that was gripped by fear.

It is true that I have not been so close to death for a long time, and I cannot adapt to the crisis quickly.

Yes, this is the battlefield, but those who pass by death are the lucky ones.

In this special environment, as long as you make the slightest mistake, you will say goodbye to this absurd world.

The young man understood this truth. Even though he was on the battlefield many times because of that person's protection, he was still safe.

But now... that person is no longer here, and he must be prepared to face the enemy alone.

The black-furred wolf-headed man did not rush towards the still frightened young man. He held the handle of the knife with both hands and pulled out the long knife stuck in the ground.

The black-haired wolf-headed man waved his long knife, and the edge of the knife had already been chipped because it hit the stone just now.

Seeing the wear and tear of his weapons, he felt a little distressed. After all, it would cost a lot of money to hire a blacksmith to repair or replace weapons.

At the same time, he also paid more attention to this human boy who was able to avoid the attack.

The black-haired wolf-headed man took the long knife again and slashed at the boy again.

"Tsk!"

The young man was not going to sit still and wait for death, and his body's mobility was taken back by him. Facing this fatal sword light, the young man rolled back again.

But how could this black-haired wolf-headed man, who had already predicted the boy's actions, let this method work?

He also followed the boy's actions and changed the direction of his slashing. The boy rolled over and was still lying on the ground unable to get up, when he saw the long knife rushing towards his chest with the sound of breaking wind.

Cock!

At this critical moment, the young man raised the crossbow that he had always held in his arms and used it as a shield to receive the blow.

The crossbow was made of strong material, but it was almost split in half by this knife.

The upper mechanism made a crisp sound, and a bunch of damaged parts fell off after just a slight shake.

"Drink!"

The young man threw the completely useless military crossbow at the wolf-headed man. The black-haired wolf-headed man was unable to dodge due to his huge body, and was hit directly in the face.

The wolf-headed man couldn't help holding his head and howling due to the unexpected dull pain. The young man also stumbled up and took advantage of this precious gap to run into a house that had been burned down by the fire.

"Cough! Cough!!"

As soon as the boy entered the house, he covered his bruised chest and started coughing. He found a charred wardrobe in the house and hid in it quickly.

Although he had blocked the attack just now, the impact of the knife still caused the crossbow to hit him hard on the chest, and the hands holding the crossbow were almost dislocated.

But despite this, he still survived.

Unexpectedly, the thing that couldn't be installed for a long time saved my life in the end.

The power of that wolf-headed man was too terrifying, and it was simply not something the young man could handle.

It's not safe for him to hide here now, but here he at least gets a chance to breathe.

Let the young man have some time to find his own glimmer of hope.

Where did that kid go?

Although the black-haired wolf-headed man was hit by the young man's crossbow, he did not suffer any injuries on his face. The sharp parts of the broken crossbow still failed to scratch his fur.

The wolf-headed man shook his head and looked around, but the young man could no longer be seen.

But he is a wolf-headed man, how could he lose his prey like this?!

The surrounding smoke was very heavy, and the boy's smell was not obvious among the smoke, which somewhat affected his ability to track the smell.

Of course, this doesn't bother him.

The black-haired wolf-headed man walked to the edge of a room and inhaled the smell in the air to make sure that his prey was not hiding in this room.

Then he moved to another room and sniffed at the door. At this time, the subtle and extremely fresh human scent he wanted came to him.

The black-haired wolf-headed man stretched his head into the room and smiled in the direction where the prey might be.

It's just that the wolf-headed man's smile doesn't make people feel friendly, and the exposed fangs combined with the ugly face only make it more ferocious and terrifying.

The black-haired, wolf-headed man walked toward the house. The hand holding the long knife gently swung, and the tip of the knife scratched the blackened threshold, leaving a gash.

At the same time, he also imagined in his mind the feeling of slicing the prey's throat with the blade.

As he thought about it, the beast's pupils also turned a bloodthirsty scarlet color.

Hiding in such a place, his prey has no way to escape. He doesn't think there is any way this cunning prey can escape from his hands.

The black-haired wolf-headed man arrived at the door of the house that had been riddled with holes in the fire.

The things inside are also very messy, and most of them have signs of being damaged by fire. The fire in this house has just been extinguished, and some items still have residual warmth.

At the same time, the black smoke coming out of the charred wood also had a strong smell, which made his nose very uncomfortable. But the smell of the boy was also mixed in, and as he went deeper into the house, the smell became more and more obvious.

This made the black-haired wolf-headed man certain that the boy should be hiding somewhere in the house, so what he had to do now was to find this "mouse".

Ta da...

A very slight sound of footsteps came from the room on his left.

The other party should pay attention to walking softly and trying not to make any noise. However, the wolf-headed man's hearing is also keen, and he can detect even the slightest movement.

The black-haired wolf-headed man quickly walked to the door of the room and looked inside to see what was going on.

This room should have been a bedroom before it burned down.

There was a half-burnt wooden bed inside, as well as several pieces of furniture whose original appearance was unclear.

The smell of the human inside was very strong, and there was no other way out of the room. Even the windows were blocked by fallen beams, and the boy couldn't get through even with his size.

Where did the "prey" go?

The black-haired wolf-headed man was very sure that the human boy had not left the room, but he did not see the shadow of his prey.

Of course, he wasn't surprised at all.

The cunning prey certainly knows how to evade the hunter.

It's just that in this situation, facing an excellent hunter like himself, no matter how cunning the prey is, there is no way he can escape.

There are not many places where the boy can be hidden, and he can be found out with just a little exploration in this room.

Maybe hiding under the bed?

The black-haired wolf-headed man arrived in the room. In order to prevent his prey from escaping the room while he was exploring around, he did not forget to close the charred door when he entered.

In this way, no matter how alert the young man is, he will not be able to escape from the room immediately.

The black-haired wolf-headed man came to the bamboo and wooden bed and squatted down. In order to see what was going on underneath, his tall figure knelt down with his wolf head on the ground.

"uh-huh?"

The black-haired wolf-headed man stood up with a long knife supporting his body. There was no sign of the prey under the bed.

Wrong guess. But there is no need to rush, because the boy is still in this room, and the cooked duck will not fly. He just needs to look for it slowly.

He walked to a large cabinet again, and after opening it, he made sure that the young man was not hiding in it.

The black-haired wolf-headed man scratched his head, stood up on tiptoes and looked behind the pile of debris in the corner of the room that blocked his view, but there was no sign of the boy there.

Where? Where exactly will it be hidden?
