Chapter 1068 Rescue Team
Crystal''s POV:
I froze in ce, terrified that Rufus had finally woken up. A few seconds passed. I slowly turned around, only to find him still unconscious. Rufus had
simply been talking in his sleep.
I breathed a sigh of relief, though I did not dare to stay in the cave for a moment longer. I yanked my hand free from Rufus’ grip, and then sprinted
away as fast as I couldThis content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
I didn''t even chance a backward nce. Rufus had a keen sense of his surroundings. I needed to put some distance between us, or he would
immediately track me down using my scent
I btedly looked down at my naked body and felt my face grew hot
If I had known this would happen, I would have left at least my undershirt on. As it was, I was mortified by my state of undress.
As if to make matters worse, I heard the sound of voices and footstepsing from the woods. I quickly turned into my wolf form and hid in the
thickets to see who it was. They were soldiers, a lot of them, presumably here to search for Rufus
It seemed that the werewalves had wonst night''s battle. Now that Rufus'' men were here to rescue him, I could be at ease. However, the cave was
still a ways to go, and there were several forks along the path. I need to guide them to where Rufus was.
I jumped around and stepped on the leaves, deliberately making ncise to attract the soldiers ‘ attention
"What was that?" One of the soldiers looked around, and I hurriedly ducked among the bushes.
"Must have been a squirrel," hisrade replied. "Come on, we must hurry and find the king."
They divided themselves into three teams, each one going in a different direction. There was no track leading to the cave, and the vicinity was pretty
remote even inside the forest, so none of the soldiers thought to head that way.
I was getting anxious at this point. I
grabbed a braach and threw it over.

p esumed to be the head of the x
troops. He was wearing a gray and
blue uRif orm, which was uniqueand

picked up the branch and Isoked in
ry direction. I revealed niy tail,
pretending to be a forest critter,
before disappearing back into the
woods.
Still, to my utter dismay, no one came after me.
I had no choice but to try again. When I arrived back to the spot where I had left them, they were still wandering around aimlessly.
What a bunch of useless idiots!
Frustrated, I let out a tiny howl, and then used witchcraft to transform myself into a little white roon.
Yana was very pleased by this. "Finally! You turned into something else besides a gibbon. You know, you''ve transformed into some pretty weird-
locking creatures before."
It''s not like I do it on purpose. The
technique hasvts ws. My
transformations don''t always go

on my head, feeling a little odd about
my new appearance. But I wowd
haveto make do. This spell only
lasted for half an hour at most, and
could only be used oncea month.
This was also why I rarely used it
unless absolutely necessary.
I leaped forward from behind the trees and stood in front of the officer in the gray and blue uniform. I beckoned at him with my short arms and made
several roon sounds.
The man crouched down and asked, "What are you trying to tell me?”
I continued to titter as I pointed toward the direction of the cave. I threw myself to the ground and acted like I was injured.
I had to repeat the skit a couple of times, luckily the officer understood atst. "Are you saying that there is an injured person over there?"
Yes! That was exactly what I meant!
I mbered back up and bolted
back into the‘forest. This time, the
