Chapter 22
Crash!
Yelp!
The Dire Wolf, blinded by Khal’s sudden sword strike, rolled on the ground in a fit of rage.
“Wh-why are you here?”
Chloe, tears streaming down her face, looked at Khal with an expression of pure disbelief.
Khal, on the other hand, frowned and spoke to her.
“Why are you just standing there?”
“T-that’s because… my leg was bitten.”
Chloe held onto her bleeding leg, looking ashamed.
Noticing that the wound was significant, Khal scanned their surroundings.
Evelyn, Frank, and the rest of the team had already vanished without a trace, and the Dire Wolves were showing blind hostility toward Khal as if they were brainwashed.
While he could overpower one or two, taking on the entire pack was impossible for the current Khal.
A smirk played on his lips.
However, he didn’t feel like he was cornered.
—You might run into wild beasts, so make sure to take this with you.
This was because Lily had already prepared a countermeasure for such a situation.
“Honestly. Such a meddlesome woman.”
Khal chuckled and tossed the scent pouch from his backpack into the campfire.
Whoosh!
As the powder caught fire, the flames grew exponentially.
At the same time, for a brief moment, smoke mixed with a foul stench and powder rose from beyond the flames.
Bark! Bark!
The Dire Wolves, their sense of smell paralyzed, shook their heads in an attempt to clear the foreign substances from their eyes.
“Cough, cough! What is this?”
As Chloe struggled while coughing, Khal hoisted her onto his shoulder.
“A-are you… trying to save me?”
