58 – Ant Wolf (4)

I was besieged by ant wolves.

‘It’s still okay.’

They were approaching from afar, so Chester barely noticed.

If so, there was still time.

Chester acted as if he didn’t know that he was surrounded, lest the antwolves rush back.

“Monia.”

“Yes?”

“We are now under siege.”

“Yes? A siege?”

Chester grabbed Monia’s head as she tried to look around without realizing it, and pressed it against her body.

It looked like the two of them were hugging each other tightly.

“Woo-boop.”

“Listen now. You can’t run and run away as long as you’re surrounded. No matter how fast we run, we are slower than them.”

“… … .”

“They intend to hunt us, and there is no way out of here. Then what should I do?”

Watching the ant wolves slowly approaching, Chester, who freed Monia from his arms, walked.

Slowly, leisurely, paying attention not to be out of the ordinary.

Monia, too, was feeling uneasy and unknowingly grabbed Chester’s hem with her fingers and followed him.

Chester’s target was a tree about twenty paces away.

It is the closest and moderately tall tree around here.

“I will climb that tree.”

“Yes? I am not good at climbing trees yet.”

“I will help you. It’s fine.”

“… … Yes.”

Monia couldn’t hide her anxiety.

It is unavoidable.

He was surrounded by ferocious carnivores, but how easy was it to remain calm and behave like Chester?

Monia imagined.

The ant wolves glaring at them from beyond the darkness of that forest.

Seeing them salivate.

Watching them hunt them down, devouring their bodies.

“… … !!”

An unpleasant sweat flowed from my body, different from the sweat naturally flowing from walking in the forest.

tension, nervousness, fear.

My heart started beating wildly, and my body stiffened.

You can see the god of death raising his white bony hand on his lifeline, stroking it sweetly and raising a scythe to cut the lifeline.

It was scary.

Chester was thinking of something else.

‘What if we climb up the tree? Will they give up? I don’t think so.’

If the weather changed and they started gathering food, they wouldn’t easily give up on Chester and Monia.

They are ‘giant’ creatures, which are rare in this island’s environment.

It was hard to think of the ant-wolves giving up after seeing this large amount of meat.

‘Seeing that he broke the trap in order to use it, he has a dirty temper and is obsessive.’

Those guys are in trouble.

Wild animals are said to move rationally, but where does the world work only rationally?

When your eyes roll, there are times when you throw away rational behavior, whether it be a person or a wild animal.

“Monia.”

“Yes Yes.”

Chester noticed a deep fear in Monia’s voice.

“I will go upstairs first.”

At that, Monia grabs the hem of Chester’s clothes with her hand.

“Then I will pull you up from above, so take my hand and come upstairs. Understand?”

“… … .”

Monia didn’t answer and trembled while holding only the hem of Chester’s clothes.

“don’t worry.”

Chester turned around and hugged Monia and patted her.

“Did you tell me? i won’t abandon you I will always be by your side.”

that day.

Words I heard on a stormy day.

Monia, who shed tears thinking that she would be abandoned when Chester said he would go up first, buried her face in Chester’s arms and nodded.

“believe.”

To the anxious voice trembling with tears and fear, Chester replied by hugging Monia tightly and patting her.

In the meantime, the ant wolves had narrowed the encirclement enough to come within Monia’s field of vision.

“… … Goes!”

After Chester freed Monia, he immediately started climbing the tree.

When Chester behaved strangely, the ant-wolves galloped away.

– Kwang! kong!

– Kreurreur!!

Surprised by the wild howl of the wolf, Monia covered her ears with both hands.

Run up.

they run

The shadow of the beast, which seemed small in the distance, suddenly grew in size and approached in an instant, and then a hand came down from above.

“Monia!”

When Chester called his name, Monia grabbed Chester’s hand tightly with both hands.

And, Monia had a strange experience.

“Uh, uh?!”

A strange experience, as if the weight had disappeared from her body, and her body suddenly jumped up.

“Step on the tree!”

Embarrassed by the strange experience, Monia hurriedly stepped on a tree and pushed herself up at Chester’s words.

Then Monia’s body soared even higher, and before she knew it, she was hugged by Chester, who was sitting on a branch.

Unfortunately, the ant-wolf, who missed Monia and barely bit off the bottom of her shoe, howls in a resentful voice.

“wow.”

However, Monia didn’t care about the ant wolf’s howl anymore.

It was such an amazing experience.

It feels like flying in the sky on a different level than trying to climb a ladder or a tree on your own.

“Wow, wow!”

“Calm down.”

“Ah yes.”

Chester held Monia and moved one arm and two legs to a higher seat.

After fixing her body on thicker branches and tree trunks, she loosened her grip on Monia when she felt a little more comfortable.

However, Monia was still held tightly to Chester with her own strength.

“What are you doing. Sit next to me.”

“No, that… … .”

Chester turned his body to make it easier for Monia to move to the side, but Monia still didn’t move.

Seeing Monia like that, Chester.

“I can’t help it. I also had many experiences of being stiff with fear in the past.”

He patted her on the back saying he understood.

However, the reason why Monia keeps clinging to Chester is not because her body is stiff with fear.

It’s because I feel much more relieved and less afraid when we’re close together like now than when we’re a little apart.

“… … .”

“what’s the matter?”

Monia clung a little more to Chester for no reason.

And he spoke quietly.

“By the way, how are you going to do that?”

What Monia pointed at was the ant wolf that was quietly waiting for them, looking up at them from below.

They sat on the floor, relaxing, waiting for Chester and Monia to come down.

There were even two or three roaming around hunting for food while waiting to keep an eye on some of them.

‘You’re filthy smart.’

Omnivorous, they ate tree nuts and chewed the surrounding bushes.

It was nothing strange.

Lions also graze.

‘Where, the number of them is nine.’

Four so-called scouts who are bigger than the other ant wolves.

Five common ant wolves.

It doesn’t seem to have any intention of letting go, and since there are no other trees close by, you can’t even run from tree to tree.

‘Then what should I do?’

How to do it.

‘I have to fight.’

I really hate to do it, but there are times when I have to.

To live.

Chester checked his basket.

In the basket containing the animals taken out of the trap, there were other tools that I usually carry with me.

Among them, hunting tools were about bows and catapults.

‘No bows and catapults.’

It is inconvenient to write in a place with a lot of tree branches around.

‘Then I’ll have to write something else.’

Chester took the machete out of the basket and hung the basket from a suitable branch nearby.

“Chester… ?”

Monia saw Chester move in silence and looked up to see his face.

Chester’s eyes were slightly narrowed, the bridge of his nose furrowed, and his lips pursed.

This is the expression Chester usually makes when thinking about something.

Knowing that Chester in this state would not react easily until his thoughts were over, Monia just stared at Chester.

‘It’s fine. can do.’

Chester analyzed the power difference between Antwolf and himself.

100 results in 100 chesters dying.

However, it was fine.

‘No problem.’

If we fight head-to-head, we can never win, but that’s not a problem since we had no intention of doing that in the first place.

Then how should we fight?

‘I have to hunt like a human.’

hunt like a human

Chester took the machete out of the basket, twisted it, and saw his own face reflected in the machete’s face.

The soil was rubbed and soiled so it wouldn’t reflect the sunlight too much, but it did at least blur Chester’s face.

Chester brushed the dirt off the machete with his fingers, then drew a simple drawing on his face with the dirt.

It is a ritual his father learned from remote tribes on his travels.

The terrifying picture painted on the face inspires courage in the heart, defeats fear, and brings victory and good fortune.

Chester painted his face with the dirt on the other side, then got up quietly.

“Wow!”

When Monia almost fell in surprise, Chester put his arms around her waist and hugged her to stop it.

“Ah, thank you.”

“No, what.”

After carefully standing Monia on a tree branch, he silently watched the ant wolves.

Looking at them, he picked up a machete and swung it down.

A branch in front of Chester is cut off and falls onto Chester’s palm.

“great. Shall we try?”
