Chapter 261: Wooden Cabin (12)
Just like that night in Tunumo Village, Buddy’s barking wasn’t particularly sharp. Sometimes it would hop to the left, sometimes to Everly’s right. Rather than a warning, it sounded more as though it was trying to convey some kind of message.
Of course, the danger was already right in front of them. At a moment like this, there was no need for Buddy to jump out and give a warning.
With the experience of the previous two incidents, Everly quickly realized that Buddy was trying to lead her somewhere.
“What did you find…? Is there a way out of this situation?”
“Woof! Woof!”
Buddy let out a loud bark. The sound was bright and excited. If she could see the dog’s spirit, Everly felt certain that its tail would be wagging enthusiastically right now.
Everly was deeply touched by Buddy’s unwavering loyalty. She glanced back at the goat-hoofed monster behind them and saw that it was still some distance away. A fresh surge of strength immediately welled up within her.
“Follow me! This way!”
She threw back her head and shouted at the others at nearly the top of her lungs. After using her voice so much, Everly’s throat had already become hoarse, but to the group—who had been running around like headless flies—the rough, unpleasant sound was as welcome as heavenly music.
