Chapter 1444 Borrowing A Knife

Leaping from tree to tree would be slower; thus, they chose to run.

After all, who knew if the Baymardians were following the dogs from behind?

So unfortunate!

How did they end up in such a situation?

No matter how fast he ran, they could still hear the heavy, pounding steps right behind them. 

But however many times they turned around, they couldn’t see the dogs in sight. 

Yet their entire bodies were quaking and thumping with suspense.

It was almost as though the dogs were only inches away from them!

Dammit!

Claw gritted his teeth while pushing several branches away. 

”We have to lose these dogs!”

Their whole aura spelled danger… Especially the lead dog.

Such ferociousness was akin to that of a wolf or some other wild deadly creature in the wild.

If they hadn’t seen it for themselves, they would’ve thought these dogs were truly wild beasts!

They had no time to fight off such creatures. 

They had to flee before the Baymardians noticed.

Bam!

A stone smashed into a tree like a dagger.

And suddenly, the air became even more dangerous. 

”Who?”

The duo felt their chest grow tight.

A wave of acid welled up in their bellies, and for a moment, time seemed frozen. 

**pause**

They passed for only a second. 

However, it felt like an eternity. 

A thin layer of sweat formed on their faces, realizing that they were not alone. 

And soon, a powerful voice echoed from a branch on a tree they had just passed. 

Claw and Bone’s eyes enlarged, quickly taking cover behind a few trees. But the stranger didn’t attack them at all. 

Dammit! They had no time for this. 

Woof! Woof! Woof!

The dogs were still on their tails. But this was not their concern. 

There was someone else here!

”You! What do you want? We have no enmity with you!”

The stranger was dressed similarly to them. 

And judging from the depth at which he managed to bury the rough, circular stone into the tree, they knew he should also be an assassin or spy.

They had a hunch that it wasn’t a Pyno spy too.

The spy’s purplish eyes were cold and ruthless. 

It was like staring at an unhinged beast. 

”You know… Because of you 2, my operation tonight has been unuseful!” The man started with an unhurried tone. And in the next moment, he did several front flips, landing on the ground. 

And as he spoke, he acted before Bone and Claw could react. 

”Because of you 2, they already know that there is an intruder here. In that case, since you all started this, why not be my decoys?”

”You!…”

Pap. Pap.~

The stranger smacked the sides of their shoulders like a karate chop. 

And in a flash, he vanished, leaving the duo to their demise. 

But one thing was for sure. The man came from a place far more excellent than Veinitta. 

”Brother, I can’t move my hands!” Bone was already going crazy with anger and all sorts of raging feelings in his heart. 

Who knew that today they chose to infiltrate the scene would also be the day that another hidden force would make a move too?

Everything happened too fast, leaving them dizzy.

As spies, they used their hands frequently. 

And though they could change without limbs, the task of fleeing would be far more challenging. 

If they had workable limbs, they could climb over walls, leap on trees, and whatnot. 

But to rely on only one’s feet means they only had to run. 

Yes, they could use their neck muscles, but the outcome of their escape would be slower. 

Their limbs should remind like this for a few hours before returning to normal. 

However, these hours were the most important to them!

Claw’s eyes flashed in horror after listening to the hounding sounds of those damn dogs. 

”Brother; now’s not the time to complain! We have to leave!”

”Right!”

In not more than 3 seconds after the stranger left them, they were back on their feet — what other method of escape could they use?

Din. Din. Din. Din. Din~

Hearts pounding, body temperatures rising, the brothers have never felt so close to failure before. 

Even when they fled District B and fled other scenarios in the past, none have been so intense. 

Many it was because of the presence of high powers looking at this piece of meat that allowed them to feel all the stakes at hand.

Who? Who was that stranger who wanted to use them as a decoy?

The duo ran at full speed with their hands falling to the back. 

How we, their pursuers, were incoming in closer and closer than they expected. 

.

Grrrr~~

Bullseye let out a vicious growl.

Its eyes were still focused on his target.

1 2, 3…

It and its squad had all arrived close enough to make their move.

~Awoooooo!~… Whoof!”

Bone and Claw didn’t need to know how to speak ‘dog’ to understand what the terrible lead dog meant.

Thup. Thup. Thup. Thup!

Look left, look right. 

There were dogs running by the sides, advancing at their place while closing into them.

And some also hastened up, planning to go right to their front, cutting them off!

Bone and Claw’s faces were grim.

”Brother, we have to shake them off! For now, we split.”

”Agreed.”

Whoosh!

Bone jumped over a fallen log, taking a right turn. And Claw went the other direction instead. 

’Brother, good luck.’ Both inwardly said. 

They were brothers who had always been together.

They trusted themselves more than anyone in the world. And their bond and love for one another were real. Both hoped that each one would be safe. 

How very touching. 

Woof! Woof! Woof!~

Bullseye issued out several other commands, sending most towards Bone, while he and a few other dogs followed behind Claw. 

And just like that, the chase began!

.

Zigzag, left, right…

Each brother moved in irregular and confusing patterns. And sometimes, they did manage to shake or confuse their pursuers.

However, the dogs were always quick to react, adjusting to their plans.

Dammit!

”What sort of bastard dogs are these?” Claw was almost at his widened with these damn dogs. 

Claw’s scalp was prickled and his mouth dry. 

He began regretting that he didn’t bring many others on this mission. 

He thought he and his brother were enough to handle things in a small Pyno. But now, he knew that he was too hasty in handling things.

Pyno might be small and weak. 

However, it had all these goodies that others were eyeing too. 

If those under his command had accompanied him and his brother here in large numbers, they would have been able to handle things more adequately. 

With large numbers, no matter how talented that strange spy was, he wouldn’t be able to use them as decoys.

Claw wanted to vomit blood when thinking of his ill-luck since coming to Baymard. 

But soon, he thought of something interesting. 

’This place… Wasn’t this the place that… Hah!”

Claw’s eyes home with a playful light.

It looks like his luck wasn’t all bad after all. 

Swish!

With a quickened pace, he headed in a particular direction in the forest. .and soon, he spotted what he was looking for. 

And in a flash, he headed into a rocky cave.

1, 2, 3~

~Braoooooorrrr~~~~!!!!!

The pack of buck-toothed boars was awake.

And now, they were charging out of their nest with vigor, trying to kill the bloody son of a b**ch that trespassed on their territory so late into the night.

Say no more. 

To them, such a being must be ill-intended!

Braooooor!!!~~~~~

The loud battle vet echoed out, followed by the thundering footsteps of the boars. 

Now, up to 15 adult boars had stepped out, chasing the slim figure that had disturbed their peace. 

But when they finally stepped out, they became shocked by what they saw. 

11 trespassing dogs stood on the opposite side like wolves on a hunt. 

The boars were furious and very protective of their young still inside the cave. 

One should never forget that dogs were descendants of wolves. 

In the eyes of these wild animals in the forest, they were still hunters!

To the boars, it was clear. 

She hunters were out for a night snack. If not, why appear here in such a large gathering, even taking their scent?

Though wolves travel in packs, when scouting, they would go alone.

Additionally, the dangerous aura from dogs meant they meant business too. 

The boar might be a lesser intelligent being. But it could sniff out danger just like any other beast. 

What to come for their children?

Braorrr!!!~

They kicked their feet and charged ruthlessly. 

After all, they were roughly the same size as the dogs, if not bigger and fatter. And their buck teeth were sharp too. 

They also had their batten experiences too!

Charge!!!!~

The boars charged at the dogs.

And the culprit of it all, secretly left the scene, looking at the dogs provocatively. 

’What to capture this daddy? You all are a few years younger!’

In a flash, he vanished after borrowing a knife.

He left them to kill one another.

The plan was indeed good…

Unfortunately, Bullseye had plans of his own too.
