The Wolf Stands on Two Legs (5)
As always, he could see his mother, Yuhwarin, catching a prey.
The time was morning.
[Shaaak!!]
She was carrying the struggling black monster with ease, holding onto it with her arm, which was carefree.
The size of the monster was considerable.
It was Arachnea, a violent spider-type monster with a body almost the size of a goblin.
Pak! Kwajik!
The Arachnea grabbed Yuhwarin’s wrist with sharp fang-like fangs and sharp claws and struck down, but she didn’t respond at all.
This is because she is currently in the shape of a beastman.
Hurry Beast Yuhwarin in that state in the form of a beast.
Her skin is so hard that even the teeth of all the top predators can hardly pierce her.
Even more so when she activates her magic ability.
It was even worse than Arachnea, which did not even belong to the middle tier of the forest.
Because of her biting her own wrist, she didn’t even change her expression.
I just calmly let him loose in the corner of the crypt.
[Shaaak!]
My mother Yuhwarin is afraid to release him.
He let out a menacing, high-pitched noise that sounded like a leak and raised both front legs with all his might.
This is a posture of attack and threat that is often seen by arachnid creatures.
But also Winter, and his other two sisters, Yui and Yumi.
No one looked as flustered or intimidated as before.
[Hyaaah!]
No, rather than that.
He even showed off the appearance of a werewolf and showed an obvious fighting spirit.
They faced each other with threats and sharp noises at a certain boundary.
It was an obvious battle of nerves.
Arachnea raised its front legs even more to keep up with the outnumbered.
The more it went on, the more the two sisters showed their teeth and growled.
The beast’s life leaks out.
Of course, it was the same in winter.
Already a dangerous opponent who was a handful bigger than the goblins they fought against in the past, but he chose to confront rather than retreat.
The opponent was a spider-type monster that looked exceptionally large and strong.
But I’ve caught it before. Sounds like it’s not the first time
Over the past few months, they have accumulated enough experience.
Every body has grown to some extent.
I’ve gotten used to it now that it’s no problem to catch opponents like goblins over and over again.
The number of experiences accumulated naturally exceeded that.
The three spread their distance as if they had promised each other, and surrounded each other as if they were surrounding the monster Arachnea.
Without anyone saying anything, there was a natural division of roles between them.
Usually, when Yu or Yumi, who has a larger physique, inflates her physique through beast shoes, and attracts the attention of the opponent.
It was a hunting method in which Winter, who had relatively little strength and physique, aimed at the back and finished it off.
It was a simple but effective method.
Although it was small in scale.
It was, without a doubt, the natural hunting method of werewolves.
It is to effectively divide roles and repel strong opponents.
Because it was the biggest characteristic of pack hunting that they possessed.
There was a lot of confrontation.
Even in the meantime, her mother, Yoo Yu-rin, just stares at her in silence.
It was because I knew that all of these things were part of the necessary growth process.
Soon.
The one who moved first was the slightly older Yui.
[·······!!]
She kept her nerves up and never missed the flinch of Arachnea’s body.
There is a gap.
Among Yuhua Lin’s children, Yui was the eldest and also had a large physique.
At once, Yui launched a bold attack on him. She
She intended to get her attention by taking the lead.
[Hyaaah!]
A bold attack from Yui, who rushes in from the front and rolls around with him.
Perhaps Yumi was also helped, she pounced on the guy’s side and scratched at the long, slender legs typical of insects.
In between.
As soon as Winter, who was widening the distance behind him and aiming for a gap, had an opening, she rushed towards him.
He hit the back and tail of the spider, who was busy fighting his two sisters.
There was no fear or wariness towards unfamiliar and hideous forms anywhere in winter’s actions.
Instead of that, it was winter.
[Kurrureu-!]
There was only the growl and boldness of a beast on the edge.
As all living things in the world do.
Everyone is clumsy only once.
When enough experience is accumulated and seasoned.
After that, it was bound to be the moment to be proactive.
It was the same with hunting.
Winter did not back down now.
It’s because he has as much experience as his two older sisters.
As soon as he seized the opportunity, he revealed sharper, thicker molars and claws.
[Shaaa!!]
The guy who was bitten on the back by Winter burst out with his soft body fluids.
I shuddered in pain.
Unfortunately, he had no time to pay attention to the winter behind him.
This is because Yui Yumi, who was aiming in front of and to the side of him, distracted her nerves in a dizzying manner.
[Kururu!]
In the meantime, Winter used the power of his firm jaw several times to bite off the back of the creature.
Mulky bodily fluids splattered and the skin was ripped off.
Although he was usually gentle.
In this moment of his hunting, as much as possible, he twists his nose and shows his wild nature.
Eventually.
From noble mtl dot com
The end of this efficient division of roles was the defeat of the weak monster, Arachnea.
[Shah, ah-.]
The guy sat down without any strength.
After that, the light in the black pupil was gradually turned off.
It was because all of the intestines were dug out and eventually lost its vitality.
Looking down at the guy who was sitting down.
[Kreuk! Creeper!]
Winter, with the face of a hunted predator, let out a ferocious snort.
The beast’s vertical pupils, which were colored yellow, soon gradually sank, and soon began to change into normal round pupils.
Lick.
Winter began licking away the bodily fluids from all over his fur, licking it away with his tongue.
He cleaned the dirt with his jagged tongue.
I can feel the fishy smell.
But I got used to it.
Winter has already adapted to hunting to the extent that it naturally passes over even this stench that stings its own olfactory system.
Looking to the side, his two sisters were also washing themselves.
In his original form rather than in his werewolf form.
‘Well, that way would be more comfortable.’
Anyway, wouldn’t it be a little more intrusive to have bare skin rather than long, rough fur?
[Ha.]
Kyeo-gyeol sighed softly after seeing him like that.
He looked at his two sisters wistfully.
‘It would be convenient if I could change my appearance like that.’
Of course, the shape of this furry wolf cub is not only uncomfortable.
In the early morning and evening, when the temperature is exceptionally low, it has the effect of keeping warm, and even in cold water, it does not easily get wet or cold due to its thick double coat.
But apart from that.
There were definitely things that could only be done with a human form, not a werewolf.
Like the detailed manipulations that can be used with five fingers, which is a natural feature of the human species, or the case where it is rather comfortable because there is no hair.
Especially, like now, when cleaning foreign substances on fur.
[·······.]
Kyeo-gyeol showed a slight annoyance at the foreign body still buried here and there.
‘It’s annoying to go through this process every day. If you don’t lick and tidy up the fur in time, the fur will quickly become hard.’
Every time you finish hunting, you need to do this essential hair care.
Now, why are cats so nervous about taking care of their fur?
Winter was well understood.
In fact, it was not a simple act, but management based on thorough necessity.
Sniff sniff.
Winter frowned weakly.
There is still a weak ‘reverberation’ that remains even after being cleaned several times.
Well, it was worth it.
Recently, I haven’t taken a bath in the winter.
So no matter how much he cares, there’s no way he’ll ever be completely clean.
It was then.
Sure.
There was a soft touch gently hugging the winter.
When he raises his head, he sees his mother, Yuhwarin, looking down at him.
“hahahaha.”
Let’s make eye contact.
My mother, Yoo Hwa-rin, smiles brightly.
‘Ah.’
It’s a familiar gaze.
There was no direct conversation with her.
With just that brief exchange of glances, Winter knew at once what Yuhwarin was up to.
His ears pricked up in the joy of winter.
The tail was also naturally strong, and the hair was spread out in abundance.
‘Are you going to take a bath?’
Perhaps for sure.
She seems to have noticed the subtle annoyance and discomfort of winter.
Then it’s probably that place, by the lake.
The winter snow that reminded me of my destination began to feel lively.
“Whoops.”
As if he had read such anticipation of winter.
Soon, Yuhwarin let out a thin laugh.
Bath! Swimming!
The winter snow grew even bigger.
“Kyaaa!”
Soon, his two sisters also noticed Yuhwarin’s intentions and began to shout excitedly.
