Chapter 46 The mantis stalks the cicada
After staying in the village for about half a month, Bourne still did not return.
The village was dull and lifeless in winter. Natalie could only make the time pass a little more pleasantly by reminiscing about happy times in the past and chatting occasionally with her pregnant sister under the mill.
However, on this day, the woman Natalie waited for under the mill was not her sister...
It was her husband.
"I heard from my wife that you two often meet here," the man said, striking up a conversation with Natalie.
Natalie didn't say anything and turned to walk away.
But the man wouldn't let it go and started bringing up all sorts of topics.
What Natalie likes songs, what she used to be a singer, and what kind of jazz houses she worked at.
Natalie never uttered a single word throughout the entire ordeal.
Finally, when Natalie's feet touched the edge of the pine forest, the man completely lost his patience.
He grabbed Natalie and pinned her against a large pine tree.
"Stop pretending to be high and mighty, you bastard," he said, his face contorted with rage. "If you think I'm dangerous, why did you lead me into the woods in the first place!"
Yes, why is that?
Natalie gripped the dagger hidden in her sleeve.
That was given to her by Mick.
Mick said that although he couldn't give Natalie the full set of weapons, he could give her and Bourne each a dagger for self-defense.
Natalie didn't want to be indebted to anyone and was planning to refuse or pay them.
But Mick said that the previous gold coin was enough.
That's why Natalie accepted it.
Natalie led the man into the forest for no other reason than that.
However, it was just a consideration that if the man really intended to do something to Natalie, it would be easier for Natalie to dispose of the body after killing him.
When threatened by the man, Natalie simply stared at him coldly.
Natalie thought that mermaids always repay kindness, but she would never allow herself to be bullied.
Miss Catherine was fiercely opposed to evil and killed many villains.
Natalie didn't want to become a woman like Catherine, but that didn't mean she was afraid to kill.
She saw the man's gaze roam over her body and then reach out to take off her coat.
In that instant, Natalie began to think about where to stab the other person with the dagger.
"what!"
However, before Natalie could make a move, she heard the man scream.
Then, as if a tremendous force grabbed the man from behind, he suddenly flew away from Natalie's sight.
Only then did Natalie realize what had happened.
A wolf bit the man's lower back and dragged him away into the distance.
The man's eyes trembled, and he howled in pain as he stretched out his right hand toward Natalie:
"Help me! Please! Help me!"
Natalie naturally couldn't offer to help, especially since she herself was somewhat afraid.
Then, Natalie witnessed the wolf gently bite the man's throat.
Warm blood splattered on the gray earth and pine trunks, causing wisps of white mist to rise in the cold air.
It was then that Natalie realized that the wolf was even larger than the lion.
Its eyes are pure black, with no whites.
The teeth protrude outwards, and irregular, blood-streaked lumps of flesh grow on the gums between the teeth.
Occasionally, a few keratinous strands, like sharp thorns, are interspersed on the gray fur.
The ground beneath the wolf's claws instantly became soft, black, and emitted a foul stench.
Natalie was terrified and involuntarily took two steps back.
She remembered the eerie stories her nanny would tell her before bed when she was disobedient.
She remembered that word...
The wolf before me is no ordinary wolf.
Instead, it was a...
Warcraft!
What made Natalie even more desperate was...
The wolf raised its head and stared straight at her with its ghostly eyes!
