Yu Sheng belatedly noticed the dead silence around the cabin.
The invisible wolf pack had disappeared, retreating back into the shadows of the Black Forest at some unknown time, and a hush enveloped everything. Yet, the most ferocious wolf, the one belonging to "this generation's Little Red Riding Hood," never showed up—but Yu Sheng could feel its gaze.
That wolf, which had once devoured him, was now staring at this cabin from a far-off place. It had detected the presence of its prey, but for some reason, it took no action.
What was it observing? What was it waiting for? Or was it... that the wolf was on guard, vigilant against something?
Yu Sheng cautiously extended his senses, trying to analyze the wolf's behavioral pattern or logic from its gaze, but at that moment, he suddenly "saw" a shadow through that gaze.
A figure suddenly appeared on the clearing among the forest shrubs near the cabin—a human figure.
