Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Hope in Abyss. Part-2.
On that day, the demon hounds launched a full-scale attack on the dark werewolf tribe that had previously escaped from their grasp.

Demons are sadistic and persistent creatures, if their prey escapes from their grasp it makes them extremely angry and crazy, and they will go to any lengths to pursue that prey again and again.

There is only one way to escape from the pursuit of a demon, either die yourself or kill the pursuing demon some way or other. Only in this way can you get rid of the pursuit of these crazy demons.

The dark werewolf tribe had escaped the grasp of the demon hounds, thus it made them go crazy.

The demon hound pack searched for the werewolf tribe for quite a few months before finally finding them in the southernmost region.

After finding the dark werewolf tribe’s location, the demon hound pack gathered all of its members and launched a head-on attack to hunt down every single werewolf that had escaped previously.

…

The young werewolf was luckily much farther away from the battlefield’s center.

She was staring at the geography with great curiosity as usual when the attack happened.

Under the heavy snowfall, the werewolves fought long and hard against the offensive of the demon hounds, but they were eventually outnumbered.

Demon hounds are much weaker individually, thus dozens of demon hounds were killed in just a few minutes of confrontation, but the werewolves were still not in a good situation.

Their numbers were too low and they were surrounded from each side, thus there was nowhere to run.

The young werewolf had a higher intelligence than the others, she didn’t rush head-on into the fight like the others.

She observed for a while and she immediately figured out that it was pointless to fight head-on.

They were at a great disadvantage when it came to numbers.

If all of the werewolves had cooperated and rushed out of the encirclement of the hounds from the start with combined momentum, it would have been possible to live another day.

But there’s no way that demons could cooperate with each other so easily.

In the past few months, the young werewolf had already figured out the fact that it was impossible for her to make these stubborn guys cooperate, thus she didn’t even think about asking them for it.

She immediately retreated from the area once she noticed that the situation was not in their favor.

But it was easier said than done.

Demon hounds have an excellent sense of smell, they can smell the prey from kilometers away, and it’s a difficult task to escape from their tracking ability.

When she tried to retreat, some of the demon hounds immediately noticed her retreating figure and chased after her crazily. While barking fiercely they pursued her at full speed on the snow-covered area.

Even though the demon hounds pursued her relentlessly, she was not fazed by it at all, with her sharp mind, she used the geographical advantage to make quite a bit of distance between them.

‘I will be able to escape!’

Just when this thought came into her excited mind, she was suddenly struck by a massive thunderbolt from the sky.

The thunderbolt was not strong enough to instantly kill her but it was strong enough to make her consciousness blur by a lot.

The young werewolf howled in pain for the first time.

Even when she went on regular food-hunting missions, she had never been so severely injured before. This was the first time she was feeling so much pain all over her body.

With her blurred eyesight, she noticed a much larger demon hound with bat wings flying in the sky right above her head.

Small lightning bolts still lingered around its mouth and wriggled snakes as the demon hound stared at her with fierce eyes. (It’s a stronger variant of the demon hound species…)

That larger demon hound was likely the one who threw the thunderbolt at her from the sky.

Her feet staggered and she fell back on the ground, by some strange coincidence the place she fell on was a huge hole in the ground that was covered by the earlier snowfall.

Due to her weight, the snow covering the large hole crumbled instantly and the young werewolf fell into the hole along with the snow.

The flying hound was taken aback by this sudden change of events, but it didn’t want to let go of its prey so it dived down.

Just when the hound flew near the hole’s entrance, it suddenly felt a strong suppression.

That suppression came straight from the bloodline. Its heart started to beat fast and the hound immediately flew away from the hole.

It glanced at the one more time and then it flew away from the place instantly.

Demons are the type of creatures that like to bully the weak, but when they encounter strong individuals, their first response is to run away as far as possible.

Thus, the flying demon hound immediately left the place and didn’t even think about returning back.

…

Inside the gigantic hole in the ground.

When the young werewolf fell, she collided with the walls and barely survived due to the snow cushioning her fall.

“Urg..”

Groans of pain came from her mouth unconsciously. Her facial expressions and emotions resembled an intelligent creature a lot at this moment.

Due to exhaustion and the damage caused by the lightning bolt, she was mentally exhausted and thus she fell unconscious right after a few minutes of falling on the snow.

The bloody night passed by without any further disturbances. All her tribe members were slaughtered by the demon hounds and eaten overnight.

But she was the only lucky one who barely survived the fate of being eaten by the demon hounds.

When she woke up, it was already morning again. (The hound attack happened in the evening yesterday…)

She looked up and figured out that it was impossible for her to leave this hole through this place.

The hole was too high and it was impossible for her injured self to jump out of this hole easily.

Then she suddenly noticed that there was a small passage in this place that seemed the have air flowing through it.

‘Cold wind is passing through here… there must be an opening on the other side…’

Without further hesitation, the young werewolf left the place, and with slow steps, she slowly walked into the narrow passage.

She used the uneven stone walls of the passage to support herself and walk ahead with confidence.

Unlike the demon hound that had noticed the strong presence, she didn’t feel anything at all… no she was simply ignoring that presence.

She is more intelligent than other low-rank demons and thus she has started to ignore her body’s instincts a lot.

Unlike other demons who completely rely on instincts, she relies more on her intelligence.

Due to not using her instincts for a long time, her instincts became a lot duller due to which she didn’t even notice the massive presence that was surrounding this cave.

While ignoring all concerns, she glanced at the structure of the cave with great curiosity.

Her curiosity won over her instinct of survival and she didn’t even care about her life as long as she was able to satisfy her own curiosity.

(If she was born in the human race, she would have been considered a ‘once-in-a-century genius’ researcher…)

*Step*

With her own footsteps ringing in her ears again and again, she felt more and more excited as she continued to walk further.

Finally, she saw the light shining from the opening on the other end.

But that was not what captured her attention.

Her eyes stared at an extremely handsome-looking demon sitting right beside the cave exit, with shock and excitement.

The handsome demon was the same height as her, a large spear lay beside him and he seemed to recover from his injuries.

Blood flowed from the large wound on his stomach as he sat with the support of the cave’s wall.

His eyes closed tightly and his dark black armor shined in the sunlight.

That amazing sight made the young werewolf feel excited all over.

She had no idea who this demon was or what had injured him so badly, but only one thought came into her head at that moment.

‘I must help him…’

With that though, she moved forward with a determined look on her face.

She carefully laid him down and removed his chest armor. She tore apart a large part of his cape and used it to bind his wound tightly.

The young werewolf was extremely intelligent, she discovered this method of stopping the blood on her own, without the help of anyone.

Then she waited for the other part to wake up, a smile appeared on her face, she seemed to be quite satisfied with herself at the moment.

Being able to express her own emotions with so many facial expressions… even though this was quite a difficult task for the demon race she did it easily… perhaps this is what made her an ‘Exception’.
