Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Werewolf Village 20
With a bang!
The werewolf slamd against the sturdy silver bars of the cage and let out a mournful howl!
The collision area looked as if it had been scorched by high heat, the flesh and blood charred.
Bai Youwei stood outside the cage, frowning as she watched the werewolf roll around inside, convulsing in pain.
She noticed that the werewolf’s body was almost entirely covered in burns; so were fresh scabs, others old tumors, new and old wounds layered upon each other, leaving no part of its body unmarred.
The injured werewolf lay panting in the cage, gradually quieting down, no longer making any aggressive movents.
Bai Youwei suspected that the werewolf was disoriented, for otherwise it would have known that being confined within the cage, it was impossible to attack anyone outside.
Who could she be?
Why was she imprisoned here?
The little girl had led her to the chief’s house, presumably hinting that she should find this werewolf. Now that she had found it, what should she do next?
Bai Youwei pondered for a mont and tried to communicate with the werewolf in front of her, “Is there Uto grass here?”
The werewolf, lying on the ground, looked at her, its body slowly heaving, but did not speak.
Bai Youwei felt she had asked a silly question.
Uto grass could induce a transformation in werewolves, and since the figure before her was human, it indicated that so force was suppressing it. If there were Uto grass here, the figure wouldn’t be in this condition.
However… she should know where Uto grass was. The Uto grass in the little girl’s hands didn’t appear out of thin air; there must have been a clue obtained from this place.
“Where can I find Uto grass?” Bai Youwei asked again.
The werewolf still did not speak.
She appeared very weak, her body riddled with scars, her clothes worn for many years reduced to tattered strips, her hair unwashed, a dirty gray color, tangled and knotted.
If one ignored her sudden outburst a mont ago, she now seed like she could gasp her last breath at any mont.
Bai Youwei slowly squatted down, getting closer to the cage, and whispered softly, “As long as you let turn into a werewolf tonight, I’ll find a way to get you out.”
The werewolf blinked slowly…
Perhaps intending to speak, the voice that erged was hoarse, like the low grumble of a wild beast. Then it propped itself up on its forelimbs, dragging its severely injured body, inching towards Bai Youwei.
Obviously fearing the cage, it did not dare to get too close to the vertical bars.
Bai Youwei watched her ask, “Will you help ?”
The werewolf did not speak, only slightly opening its mouth to reveal its sharp teeth.
Bai Youwei was stunned.
Looking at the werewolf before her, and recalling the little girl’s unusual behavior, a bizarre suspicion arose in her mind… Though it might not have much to do with her, it still caused a strong discomfort.
Hesitating, Bai Youwei asked, “Have you… seen a little girl? Did you want her to save you but she couldn’t?”
The werewolf slowly closed its eyes, apparently responding.
Bai Youwei hesitated outside the cage, unsure whether to trust the werewolf.
“… In the legends, if a human is bitten by a werewolf and survives, they turn into a werewolf…” she pursed her lips, looking at the werewolf in the cage, barely alive, “But how can I be sure, you won’t take this opportunity to take my life?”
Perhaps the werewolf was not as weak as she perceived.
Perhaps the werewolf was waiting for this mont, to seize her, devour her, and regain strength!
But did she have a choice?
“…Forget it.” Bai Youwei took a deep breath, calming herself. “I don’t really have a choice, do I.”
She raised her arm, extending it into the cage, and frowned, “Be quick, the chief could co back any mont, and I still need to figure out where the key to the cage is hidden…”
The werewolf stared at her pale wrist and clamped its jaws around it!
Its sharp teeth pierced the skin, burrowing into the blood vessels! Droplets of bright crimson blood burst out instantly, trickling down from the corners of the werewolf’s mouth.
Bai Youwei felt a wave of dizziness, not expecting it to hurt so much…
