Chapter 0004: The Secrets of Werewolf Sorcery

The black dot magnified into a shadow, and Hao Ren vaguely felt that this shadow resembled not a bat, but rather a humanoid figure cloaked in a cape. However, he had no time to ponder further, as the shadow was already right before him

Oh. Hao Ren responded, thinking that perhaps the worldview he had held since childhood could no longer be applied, but just as he was about to say something more, Lily suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "It's here!"

Wait!" As Lily had already taken a few steps away, Hao Ren finally realized, "Where are you going so late? Come back with me, let's settle your luggage as soon as possible..."

Having said this, Lily turned and left

He looked up at the werewolf girl from before, watching as her beautiful silver hair visibly transformed back into its original short black color at an astonishing speed, while a pair of spirited wolf ears also vanished without a trace. He clicked his tongue, unsure of what to say.

His muscles had already been coiled and ready to spring into action, always prepared to evade. Upon realizing that he had been targeted, his first instinct was to leap to the side. Just as he made a powerful jump, the shadow nearly brushed past his hair, missing him entirely.

Lily seized the opportunity to relentlessly attack the fallen opponent, swiftly throwing the bricks in her hands with a whoosh. Hao Ren could not discern the trajectory of the two bricks; he only saw the bat's figure sway slightly, clearly indicating that at least one of the bricks had hit its mark—indeed, the five years of practice with the Celestial Horse Meteor Brick proved to be reliable.

Lily's final punch missed its target, and at that moment, the black bat had already flown to the top of the wall. She furrowed her brows in frustration and emitted a sound from her throat that resembled the growl of a wolf in a show of dominance. Hao Ren was very familiar with this sound—he had lived in the mountains of his hometown as a child, where wolves roamed at night.

At this moment, Lily could also sense the awkward atmosphere, but she seemed to have anticipated it, or rather, had already come to this realization. She simply turned her head and gave Hao Ren a slightly awkward smile, then bent down to pick up her large suitcase and hoisted it onto her shoulder, turning to prepare to leave: "Well, landlord, I won't be renting the house anymore... You should hurry home. By the way, don't go spreading today's events outside, it would cause me a lot of trouble"

At the very moment she raised her head and howled, a bat from the sky swooped down rapidly, causing Hao Ren to nearly jump up: This werewolf girl is such a fool! In a life-and-death standoff like this, you still strike a ridiculous pose!

However, Hao Ren was more concerned about where the brick thrown by Lily would end up. This werewolf girl had immense strength, and the initial speed of that brick when thrown was probably not much different from that of a cannonball. He could only pray that this desolate place was vast and sparsely populated, hoping that no unfortunate soul would be caught up in this conflict between the extraordinary.

Hao Ren gritted his teeth and finally chuckled, "Because I am a good person!"

Lily turned around in astonishment, her large eyes shimmering in the night filled with confusion: "Why? Aren't you afraid that the flying creature will come back? That creature might be after me—I'm a werewolf, and that kind of being is my mortal enemy"

"I am a werewolf." Lily's ears perked up even more than before, her tone filled with pride, "Although I don't know how it happened, I am indeed a werewolf! However, I have always hidden my identity until now; this is the first time someone has seen me... Tch, associating with those flying creatures really brings no good."

The bat in the sky must have been hit hard by a brick just now, as it is now flying in a crooked manner. Moreover, the stench of blood and the cold mist from all directions seem to be dissipating, clearly a result of the bat's waning strength. It faced off against the werewolf girl for a few minutes, during which Lily quickly picked up another brick from the ground, effectively reloading. Upon witnessing this scene, the bat appeared to finally lose heart, circling in the sky one last time before turning and flying towards the dark night sky.

Hao Ren stared blankly at the silver-haired girl before him, her silver long hair fluttering in the cold wind and her golden eyes glowing in the night. More importantly, her pair of pointed ears made it difficult to look away. If it weren't for the fact that her facial features had not changed, Hao Ren would have almost failed to recognize that this was the silly girl Liu Lili, whom he had just brought back from the city center not long ago.

Lily's angry threats grew increasingly suppressed in her throat, and the fur on her ears stood on end. Suddenly, she lifted her head and let out a clear and distant howl towards the moon: "Awooo—"

This is the very movement and sound!

But this is indeed her—both her appearance confirms this, and her clothing can also serve as proof

"Ha! If you have the ability, keep flying!" The werewolf girl provocatively shouted at the bat circling in the sky, "Don't think that just because you have wings, I can't deal with you! Ever since the day I found out I was a werewolf, I've been studying how to handle flying bastards like you. I've practiced this Heavenly Horse Meteor Brick for a full five years! Come on, let's fight hard!"

Hao Ren fell headfirst to the ground: How could the legendary werewolf's ultimate technique be throwing bricks? And it actually worked!

After transforming, Lily spoke with a certain coldness, but upon hearing her words, Hao Ren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: it seemed that her temperament had not changed drastically, so he dared to ask: "Lily, what is going on? You..."

But this was not the time to marvel at the extraordinary; Hao Ren knew he had been caught up in a significant event. Under normal circumstances, after finishing a novel or a television show, he would be filled with anticipation, pondering such a miraculous experience. However, now he only understood that this was a matter of life and death: the bat had not left after escaping into the air; it was merely circling leisurely at a height, seemingly mocking the werewolf on the ground for its inability to fly. As it flew, it traced various trajectories in the air, sometimes forming an S, at other times a B. Yet now he only knew that this was a matter of life and death: the bat had not left after escaping into the air; it was merely circling leisurely at a height, seemingly mocking the werewolf on the ground for its inability to fly. As it flew, it traced various trajectories in the air, sometimes forming an S, at other times a B.

At this moment, the wind around was cold, the moonlight above was cold, the clothes on his body were cold, and the air he exhaled was cold—Hao Ren felt as if he was about to freeze, but this unusual coldness allowed him to remain alert. Especially with the thick, inescapable smell of blood permeating the surroundings, this clarity was even more crucial: it enabled him to remain vigilant about his surroundings while sorting out his worldview, in an attempt to understand why he encountered such events in the real world today.

Almost simultaneously with Lily's words, Hao Ren caught a glimpse of the edge of the red moon trembling out of the corner of his eye, and then a black dot suddenly enlarged from the halo of the moon, rushing towards him!

The assailants were repelled, and the surrounding environment gradually returned to normal, the smell of blood dissipating like an illusion without a trace. The slight heat of the summer night surged back, and Hao Ren rubbed his nose and let out a solid sneeze: this temperature change is indeed something that an ordinary person cannot withstand, it seems that a cold is unavoidable.

As the surrounding chill and the stench of blood grew increasingly intense, a thin layer of frost covered the ground of the path, and the moon in the sky had inexplicably turned a faint shade of red. Hao Ren was clad in only a thin summer garment, and at this moment, he was shivering more and more in the cold wind. In contrast, Lily seemed completely unaffected; she merely sniffed vigorously, her ears twitching a few times: "Cunning bats, they mask their scent with the smell of blood... Landlord, don't stray too far from me; those flying creatures are active at night and excel at ambushes."

He no longer spoke to Lily in the same carefree manner as before. Perhaps the strange surroundings had dampened his mood to converse, or maybe it was Lily's peculiar appearance that left him at a loss for words. To be fair, beast-eared girls are indeed quite adorable, but who knows if this particular beast-eared girl has a character transformation after her metamorphosis: Hao Ren could say with absolute certainty that he sensed a hint of primal ferocity in Lily's gaze, which filled him with trepidation, and then he began to mentally scroll through various bizarre works from both domestic and international sources.

The shadow missed its target and was about to crash to the ground. Lily seized this opportunity; the moment Hao Ren dodged, she delivered a whip kick towards the attacker. The attack was straightforward and brutal, and as her leg struck, it even produced a loud "bang" of air explosion, followed by a series of crackling sounds. Hao Ren could only see the silver-haired girl with wolf ears transform into a silver flash, moving at a speed comparable to that of the shadow. She engaged in combat with the indistinct, vaguely humanoid figure using the simplest punches and kicks. There were no complex techniques or strategies; each punch and kick was direct and straightforward, yet simple and brutal, proving effective: the air visibly rippled from the forceful strikes. The shadow gradually began to falter, and finally, it suddenly contracted into a bat shape and rushed towards the sky, seemingly preparing to escape.

Hao Ren knew that as long as the bat was still circling in the sky, he would be in absolute danger. Although the werewolf girl appeared to have strong melee combat abilities, it was evident that she could neither fly nor attack from a distance. More importantly, she was a bit of a fool—if the bat swooped down directly at him, Lily might not be able to fend it off! What if the girl didn't react in time?

But just as the bat, enveloped in a swirl of black mist, was about to rush towards Lily, Hao Ren suddenly saw her raise her wrist. Before he could clearly see what was flying out, he heard a sharp whistling sound cutting through the air. The bat, which had pounced down, barely managed to become slightly misty before being struck hard, retreating in a disheveled manner back into the high sky. At that moment, Hao Ren finally saw what Lily was holding in her other hand: it was a square, sharply defined object, red and cold, sending chills down one's spine—it was indeed a brick!
