Rex was greeted with a welcoming party as soon as he separated from the others.
He went deeper into the forest and was surprised by what he found.
A welcoming party hosted by the inhabitants of the forest themselves—trying to kill him.
He was aiming to catch the Werewolf who dominated Jessica who should still be nearby as it hadn't been that long, since she met with him. But instead of finding the supposed Werewolf, he was attacked by mutated animals of all kinds.
It started at three of them at first, but now, the mutated animals chasing him had increased.
Glancing over his shoulders, he saw that there were at least seven of them right now.
All of them had a lethal glint in their eyes.
Some were relentlessly attacking him—as a servant of their animalistic instincts while others, slithered on his sides and back, awaiting the perfect opportunity to strike him down. To think that the mutated animals inside the forest had gotten this strong is baffling.
