Chapter 23: Squirrel

"Fine hehehe," Emma laughed, but then she realised something that made her angrily glare at him. "You... you! I am six years older than you by six years old. How dare you hit me just because you got taller?"

"We finally found the Suddenly, the excited voice of her sister came from the front, which halted her conversation with Aur.

She said, "I am not done with you yet."

Emma ran towards her sister.

Aur also followed behind as he finally saw a small cave that went downwards.

"Huh," a small frown appeared on Aur's face as he disappeared from his position.

"Sister, we have finally found it." Emma jumped up with excitement. However, suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes.

A silent shadow whizzed directly at her as it revealed its sharp canine teeth.

Emma was startled as she hurriedly defended herself, but the shadow was too fast and was about to directly attack her neck area.

Chloe's eyes widened with horror.

When the shadow was just about to land on her neck area, a sudden punch from Aur made the shadow crash into the nearby trees.

"This..." Emma looked at the expressionless face of Aur, her eyes wide in disbelief.

She fell to the ground, feeling her neck area still intact. Her eyes revealed a deep horror as if Emma's brain was just processing things, her breathing becoming more rag in a chaotic rhythm.

"Cough, cough..." Emma coughed as she finally gained some air. "Thank you, Aur."

Aur just nodded his head as he looked at the shadow with interest.

"His body didn't burst even from my full strength. Chloe, look after your sister. I will be back in a moment..." Aur's figure disappeared again.

"I don't need you to tell me." Chloe took some water from her bag and gave it to her.

"Sister, I am fine..." Emma heaved a sigh of relief after she drank the water.

"I have to thank that guy."

...

"How interesting, a squirrel, huh..."

In front of Aur, there was an injured squirrel, its body fully soaked in blood, while the tree near him was bent from the sheer impact of its landing.

Aur looked at this with a frown on his face. "How can a squirrel take my hit and even live to tell the tale?"

The squirrel appeared quite ordinary, looking exactly like an average one, except for one strand of its hair, which was strangely coated in a yellow colour, and its sharp two canine teeth sticking out of its mouth.

"What are you?" He directly caught the injured squirrel before inspecting it carefully. He looked at the front, back, left, and right of the squirrel, but couldn't find anything that was out of place, which made him frown.

"Stop touching me, you human."

Aur looked right and left, but there was no one present, which puzzled him.

"Where?"

"Here, look to your front, you human bastard."

Aur looked at his front, seeing no one.

"You dare play around with me." His gaze turned cold, emitting a terrifying killing intent.

"Wait... wait, look down at your hands, human."

"Eh." Aur was stunned as he looked at the squirrel again.

"Were you the one talking to me?"

The squirrel nodded its head while trembling.

"How interesting." Aur casually picked up the squirrel and placed it on his shoulder.

"If you move, I will kill you," he warned as he resumed his path.

"What is going to happen to me now?" the squirrel thought with horror reflected in its eyes, its pupils dilating.

....

"Aur, you are finally back," Emma said with excitement as she ran up to Aur.

Seeing Emma, Aur just nodded his head.

"Eh, what is this cute thing on your shoulder, Aur?" Emma suddenly looked at the resting squirrel in Aur's hand, which seemed to be trembling. However, her face morphed into a frown when she saw its blood-soaked body.

"Who could do such a thing to such a cute animal?" She wanted to touch the squirrel, but the moment she was about to, the squirrel showed its large fangs and was about to bite her.

"Behave." Aur caught the squirrel by the neck as its teeth were just about to bite her.

"This... this...." Emma had a horrified expression on her face.

"This is the shadow that was about to kill you just moments ago." A strange smile appeared on Aur's face as he looked at her.

"What? Wait, what? How could this cute little thing try to kill me?"

"Oh, really?"

Aur slowly loosened his grip on the squirrel, and instantly it swung at Emma; however, just as it was about to reach her, he pulled it back.

"What were you saying previously?"

"Nothing, nothing." Emma's face flashed with red as she looked at the other side due to embarrassment.

"Let's go now; we have delayed enough time."

Chloe's cold voice was heard by both of them as she stared at the cave below.

"True, true, let's go." Emma wanted to change the topic of her embarrassment quickly.

Aur just shook his head speechlessly. "One is quite mature while the other is childish, almost like fire and water," he mused to himself while he slowly followed the twins inside.

DARKNESS!

That was the only word to describe Aur's surroundings right now, as everything was pitch black, devoid of any light.

A small flame lit up slowly, illuminating the surroundings.

Aur looked at his surroundings curiously, and it was almost exactly the same as a cave, with not much difference from a normal one.

"That's why you should have bought equipment..." a smirk appeared on Emma's face as she walked forward without waiting for a reply from Aur.

Aur was left speechless; however, he didn't mind it as he looked at the squirrel. "If you dare to move around, you are dead." However, when he carefully looked at the wound of the squirrel, he was even more surprised, seeing the rapidly recovering squirrel. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Although the squirrel's fur was still covered in blood, its wounds had already closed and healed.
