Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 5 Fatal Trap
"Wait a minute! There's something wrong with that rabbit—"

Poro shouted hurriedly. The silver-haired old man was stunned for a moment. Dense grass stems stretched out from the grass beneath him, trying to stop the white rabbit.

But...it's obviously too late.

The rabbit jumping in the air had its skin and flesh bulging abnormally, as if there was something underneath!
The next moment, that thin layer of skin and flesh was torn apart!

A shadow much larger than the white rabbit jumped out from it - it was a scarlet jackal!
The grass stems were torn apart easily!

When the attack was launched, the distance between it and the forest witch allowed it to easily break through the defense line and pounce on the silver-haired old man!

"Rumble--"

The next second, the soil cracked and more thick plant roots suddenly emerged!
The red jackal that pounced on the silver-haired old man was instantly entangled, twisted, and knocked away, falling to the ground not far away like a broken sack!

"Has the danger been resolved...?"

Poro looked at the red jackal that fell to the ground in the distance. Blood was flowing out of its mouth and it would not be able to get up again in a short time.

Little Red Riding Hood exclaimed and ran towards the silver-haired old man.

But I saw that there was a hole in the old man's clothes on his shoulder, and a long and narrow wound appeared in it.

Pink liquid overflowed from the wound, and under the influence of a green magic, it transformed into small, soft grass stems, which intertwined together to cover the old man's wound.

"Grandma, are you okay?! I'm going to go pound some herbs!"

Little Red Riding Hood said hurriedly, looking at the wound.

"No, no need."

The old man slowly shook his head, a solemn look in his eyes. "That jackal in rabbit skin also drank the demon-corroding potion, as well as some other vicious curses..."

I underestimated him. This hunter came prepared!"

"Then I should..." Little Red Riding Hood opened her eyes wide.

"You two should leave from behind the house first. My magic has been disrupted, and the magic in the forest may not be able to stop the hunter!"

The silver-haired old man glanced into the distance, and the violence in the woods continued.

"Grandma, what about you?" Little Red Riding Hood asked anxiously.

"Stop him if you can. Even though I'm old, this is still my forest!"

The old man's voice was old and had a hint of firmness.

"Grandma, I'm with you!"

"No, you guys staying here will only be a burden to me!"

The old man repeated again, "Go!"

The forest wind in the distance slowed down, and was replaced by a wildly burning alchemical flame!

The Poro bit the hem of Little Red Riding Hood's skirt and half-pulled, half-dragged the girl towards the forest behind the house.

When the girl's red cloak was about to disappear in the darkness of the forest, a large piece of branch and leaf fragments splashed out from the forest in front of the cabin!

A figure covered in scars slowly walked out.

The hunting suit had been torn into pieces, leaving only a few rags covering the body covered with blood-red runes.

Countless blades and thorns were hanging on his body, and blood was dripping. More importantly, one of the hunter's arms had even exposed its white bones!

The hunter had a flaming pipe between his teeth and a hideous face.

The intact arm held a hunting rifle, and under the tip of the rifle hung an extremely sharp hunting knife!

"Old man, this is the first time I've been hurt so badly. The magic you used was really rude!"

His cold gaze, deep in his eye sockets, pierced through the dark shadows of the woods and saw the red corner of Little Red Riding Hood's clothes, which had just disappeared in the shadows far behind the house. A hint of cruelty was revealed.
"You old thing, you're hiding a little witch? How unfortunate! I'm in a bad mood today, so I might have to kill them all!"

As he spoke, he blew a whistle, and the red jackal that had been knocked down by the tree roots suddenly stood up limping! "Kill the little girl who ran away—"

The hunter ordered, and then a bloodthirsty red light flashed in the jackal's eyes, and it rushed to the back of the house!

Anger flashed across the face of the silver-haired old man. Several grass roots flew up from the ground again and drilled towards the jackal, but a flame cut off the roots!
"You'd better not be distracted in front of me, right? Forest Witch?"

The hunter spat out a mouthful of blood and spit the pipe in his mouth onto the ground. The fire on the pipe instantly spread on the lawn, forming a circle of flames around the hunter and continued to spread towards the old man!
"You shouldn't destroy the forest like this, humans—we've already received enough!"

The silver-haired old man's rocking chair had stopped at some point.

The old man's feet stepped on the ground, and thick roots grew out from under his feet and penetrated into the soil. The old man's wrinkled face began to become rough, forming circles of wood grain, and his silver hair became extremely green!
Her hunched figure gradually began to straighten up like a tree and became taller and taller!

The pupils turned dark green, and a sharp light flashed -

Lin Feng rises again, overwhelming the sky!
"Haha, it's this feeling of oppression that makes me feel alive again!"

The hunter's messy hair was shaking wildly in the wind. He was laughing wildly, and the runes on his body were gradually lighting up with a blood-red luster!
"What a pity, old man, I never respected your forest. I am a hunter, so -

What I want, forest, you must give me!"

……

In the forest, Poro took Little Red Riding Hood and ran out of the forest.

Little Red Riding Hood's eyes were still a little dazed, and she was just mechanically being led by the Poro to run.

"Big Stupid Wolf, you said... Grandma should be able to win, right?"

The girl looked at the empty forest and suddenly asked again.

"By the way, Little Red Riding Hood, how old are you?"

Instead of answering directly, the Poro asked her a question.

"I just turned eighteen, what's wrong?"

The red-cloaked girl was stunned for a moment before replying, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"You're eighteen?"

Poro was stunned, and turned to look at Little Red Riding Hood's slightly immature appearance, "I thought... you were only fifteen or sixteen years old at most."

"What difference does it make?"

Little Red Riding Hood looked unhappy.

"Of course there is a difference. I am a wolf with principles."

Poro turned his head and continued, "If you were still a child, I would tell you...your grandmother is so powerful, she will definitely be fine--

Then I'll take you to a safe place, slowly gather information, and decide whether to return to the forest or run away!"

After hearing this, the girl fell silent, and her eyes under the red hood looked a little red.

After a long while, she whispered again:
"what about now?"

"I'm going to tell you the truth, what I really think.

That hunter is too well prepared. Your grandmother may not be able to protect you this time. That’s why she asked us to leave together—you must be prepared for the worst.”

Poro's voice was very calm, but it made the girl's face even paler!
Little Red Riding Hood was a smart girl. After Poro said these words, she understood most of their meaning, as well as... the situation she was facing now!
But as a girl who had lived in the forest since childhood, she had never encountered such a crisis!
Behind me, in the direction of my former home, the forest was roaring and howling!

Poro knew that he needed to give Little Red Riding Hood some buffer time.

But at this moment, the Poro dog's hearing suddenly sensed the abnormal shaking of the grass and trees behind it, and the rustling sound it made was very similar to the sound of its own running!

"What is it? A wild beast that escaped together? Or..."

Poro turned his head and looked, but his pupils shrank!
A reddish-brown shadow leaped out from the bushes at the back - the jackal in rabbit skin, its two front claws flashing with deadly silver light, rushed towards Little Red Riding Hood!
