"Hey, you! Look at me, here I am", Noah shouted as he ran forward and attracted its attention. To his dismay, the werewolf merely took a nce at him and then shifted its focus away from him.


    "Seeing this, Noah got a little agitated over his n failing so miserably, he readied himself as he tried again, though with a new quirk.


    "You goddamn stinky wolf, do you know how much you stink? You should take a bath more often", Noah shouted as he scrunched up his face and held his nose with his hand.


    However, the werewolf gave him a sweeping gaze from the side of its eyes as it before going back to searching around the clearing.


    This made Noah furious beyond point. But he controlled himself as used hisst resort to attract the wolves'''''' attention,


    "You know what? Let me tell you the truth. You are just a small-time iplete mutation whose face value is below my a*s. You don''t believe me? Just look at his, way better than your mutated face", Noah shouted as he called on the wolf. Not only that, he even turned around and slid his pants down as he swayed his a*s to the wolf as a way of provocation.


    Thankfully this way of provoking the wolf worked as the wolf finally turned its head towards Noah as it red at him fiercely.


    Seeing this, Noah had two emotions running through himself as he gulped down under the wolf''s fierce gaze.


    The wolf then slowly started to walk towards Noah as its ws elongated ever so slowly.


    Looking at this, Noah''s countenance changed as the previous prideful and aloof demeanor was reced by a scared one.


    Cold sweat formed on his forehead as Noah saw the wolf closing in,


    "You know we could talk this matter out like civilized people", Noah said as he took a step back.


    "Awooo",


    And as Noah said, he got the response pretty fast too. However, the response spelled much worse for him as the wolf started to pick up its pace as it walked to Noah briskly.


    Seeing the wolf pick up its pace, Noah also increased the pace of him taking steps back.


    This happened for a while as the wolf closed in on him while Noah just kept on retreating backward.


    A bitter, knowing that he couldn''t keep doing this any longer, Noah proceeded with his n.


    Taking out his spirit needles, Noah inserted his spirit energy into them as he discreetlyunched them and attacked the wolf.


    The needles slowly slid out of Noah''s pockets and went on for the wolf from behind as they avoided the wolf''s vision.


    Not longter, the needles floated a few meters above the wolf''s nape.


    Seeing this, Noah took the opportunity as hemanded the needles to strike.


    As Noah did all this, he forgot to ount for one important thing and that was the innate perception werewolves had.


    And just like the others, this wolf''s senses tingled when the needles were only a few inches away from striking its nape.


    Just as the needles were about to strike, the wolf''s eyes glowed crimson as it nted its head and rolled down to the ground. The needles grazing by its shoulder.


    Although the wolf was injured as blood came pouring out of its shoulder, it was alive nheless.


    "Awoooooo",


    Standing up from the ground, the wolf looked fiercely at Noah while it howled at an extremely high pitch.


    "Awoooo, Awoooo, Awoooo",


    Soon after, three more howls reverberated around as the sounds of footsteps approaching could be heard.


    "Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh",


    The wind blew thrice as three half-transformed wolves stood in front of Noah.


    "Gulp!",


    Seeing the number of wolves in front of him, Noah gulped as he readied himself to run for his life.


    However, before that, he yed with the wolves a bit as he said,


    "You know, it''s good that you have such bondage and brotherhood with each other, or else every single one of you would be killed by me. As for now, see yater motherf*ckers",


    As Noah said that, he turned around and ran for his dear life. Not looking for a second as he ran through the forest.


    Meanwhile,


    As Noah ran for his life, the same could be said for Elina as she also ran for her life while two wolves ran behind her as they closed in on her slowly.


    However, the most exciting part was that the second the wolves decreased the distance between themselves and Elina, they slowly gained more distance between each other.


    As for how it was a mystery only Elina knew of.


    After running around the forest for some time, Elina finally shook off the wolves as she got a moment of respite.


    Just as she sat down to take a breather, her ears perked up as she heard a voice,


    "Rustle… Rustle",


    On the other hand,


    Emma hid behind a tree as she used her ability to distract the wolves from their object and make them leave their position.


    Using her system and abilities together, she started to y with the senses of the wolves.


    "Click.. Click.. ck.. Ting.. Ting.. Ting",


    The long hairy ears of a wolf jerked up as it heard various voicesing in from all around it. The wolf turned around and saw all the other wolves also looking everywhere for the source of the voice.


    The wolves looked at each other and with tacit understanding, they moved out as they spread into different locations in search of the voices they heard.


    While all of this happened, the one who did all this hid behind a tree she had a smirk on her face.


    However, Emma''s work wasn''t done here as after this, she had an even more important job. That was to pinpoint Ray''s exact location.


    "Let''s move, the way is clear", Emma whispered into the tree and then moved to the side.


    After moving to the side, the tree opened from between as a part of it''s trunk fell off. From within, the tree was hollow, but at the moment, two people could be seen squeezing against each other as they constantly kneed each other.


    "Come out of the tree, we don''t have much time", Emma said as she hurried them to move.


    "Yeah, we areing. Just wait a minute", Aliya said as she pushed Tim further into the tree while she crawled out of the trunk.


    On the other hand, Tim stayed shut as he crawled out right after Aliya did. Though, the only difference between the two was that Tim had a big bump on his forehead and his clothes were covered in wood shavings while Aliya had no harm done to her while her clothes remained in pristine condition.


    As both of them crawled out, Emma turned and rushed in the direction where Ray hid. While Aliya and Tim followed behind closely.


    "I sense someone here, behind those trees", Emma shouted as she pointed towards multiple century-old trees that covered arge area.


    Listening to Emma, Tim and Aliya nodded as they all rushed forward along with Emma as they rushed behind the century-old trees.


    Behind the trees,


    Emma, Tim, and Aliya stood motionless for what they saw in front of them.


    "Snore… Snore… Snore… Snore… Snore",


    A teenage student of their agey on a bed of leaves as it slept without a care for the world. Though, the most baffling thing was that the one sleeping was none other than Ray.


    Seeing all this, Aliya erupted in anger as she shouted,


    "Wake up you bastard. To think you would be sleeping here while we are searching for you and caring for your well-being like dogs".
