Chaotic Nights (Wild Night)

CHAPTER 65

She experienced a daunting feeling in the presence of a creature that had consumed the blood of numerous individuals.

Eunha slowly turned her head to where the frightened warrior was looking. In the forest, in a space between the snow-covered tree branches, bright blue eyes looked at the two people.

It was a tiger that had been hiding all winter.

Rather than escaping at once, Eunha inched her way toward the warrior. The warrior was puzzled, he could not understand why she did this.

Eunha tied a piece of cloth around the wound on the warrior's leg.

"If I run away, the people inside will be in danger. I plan to lure the tiger to buy time. So report back to the others about the danger."

"What? How can a woman attract a tiger!"

"I have caught four tigers. I acted as a bait for the tigers. There is no one better than me to lure a tiger, so don't worry, just follow my advice."

The tiger was a spiritual creature. They showed more interest in the most difficult prey, than in prey that had lost the will to flee.

Eunha placed her hair tie in the still incredulous warrior's hand. Then she looked into the forest. Fortunately, there was no grass to hinder the path due to the winter, so it would be easier to get to a place to hide.

The tiger was as big as 10 bulls put together. Its mouth was big enough to crush a man's head in one bite.

Eunha suppressed the fear that was slowly growing. She fixed her gaze on a hollow in the rocks in the distance. She didn't know its depth, but she was sure she could hide there.

Come on.

If she allowed the tiger to enter the house, there would be a blood storm.

After she caught her breath, Eunha nodded to the warrior. The warrior, who looked like he had recently given up his life, now had a calm expression on his face.

Eunha began to run into the forest with a large rock in her hand. The tiger's gaze was directed towards her.

It was at that moment that the house-sized tiger began to run in her direction. No human could outrun a tiger in speed. That's why Eunha ran with all her might. The branches that grazed her tore her skin. Blood spurted from her wounds.

Its footsteps shaking the earth. She could feel the tiger's breath coming closer to her. The scent of blood caused an itching sensation in her nose. She felt a shiver down her back. She simply ran toward her destination with all her might.

"Ah!"

Eunha, who almost lost her balance after she stepped on the ground where the snow had not yet dried, entered the hollow between the rocks.

*Thud*

The tiger's crash against the rocks echoed through the mountain.

Although she felt that her body would be crushed between the rocks, Eunha was delighted that the tiger had its mouth trapped between the rocks.

This tiger had killed children. Although it is said that it attacked the village because it was hungry, Eunha remembered the people who lost their relatives.

Eunha threw the stone she had collected into the tiger's jaw. It looked like the tiger was choking. The space was so narrow that she could not move her body properly, but at least she was safe from the tiger's attacks.

She crouched down. She was safe as long as the tiger had the stone in its mouth, but if the warrior did not spread the news, she would become food for the tiger.

I don't want to die in a place like this.

The tiger, who was angry, pulled out its mouth trapped between the rocks. Then it banged its head against a tree. Finally, it dug its claws into the hole where Eunha was hiding.

"My God!"

Eunha reached deep into the hole so that her hair would not get tangled in the claws. Her skirt ripped. The furious tiger roared with a glint in its eyes.
