A path spiraled upward, and the two of them just followed it uphill, but they had only walked two miles, and the path came to an end, and it was difficult to find a suitable path for horses to walk around.

Jacques simply jumped off his horse with Lily in his arms and prepared to climb on foot. As soon as they got off the horse, a white light flashed on the cliff more than ten meters in front of the two, and an illusory transparent humanoid composed of two points of light appeared.

Looking closely, one was a tall, stout man with short hair and a bearded man, and the other was a tall girl with a ponytail.

The two figures are naturally not real people, but the facial expressions and clothing details are lifelike.

I saw the two of them carrying long swords on their backs, climbing the cliff with their hands and feet, the man's face was solemn, and he looked up from time to time during the climb, looking anxious, but he had to stop often and free his hands to help the girl who was slightly behind.

The girl had just suppressed her tears, biting her lip to control her emotions, and occasionally a shiny drop fell from her cheek and slapped on the rock.

Jacques guessed that this should be the father and daughter of the Su family, probably when they returned home, they found that their mother had died tragically and their son was missing, and then they saw the words left by their son, so they hurried to the cave on the top of the mountain to find their youngest son. Of course, it is also possible that the purpose is to avenge the death of their loved ones, so both of them carried weapons.

It seems that these two translucent human figures are the tools that the trial has prepared for Jacques and them, and they will definitely find their destination if they follow.

Sure enough, following the translucent phantom of the father and daughter, Jacques and Lily finally reached the entrance to the cave at the top of the mountain.

There were still a few werewolves on the way, and they completely ignored the figure of the Su family's father and daughter, and pounced directly on Jacques and Lily.

This kind of self-indulgent action was naturally solved by Jacques and Lily casually, but these werewolves just swept their eyes over the illusory Su family father and daughter, and didn't pay attention to them at all, but left all their attention on Jacques and Lily behind them.

From the appearance of werewolves, Jacques of course figured it out: these werewolves should not be a part of the trial, but were brought into this ruin by the wolf king not long ago, so they ignored the Su family.

"I hope we are not unlucky people who follow the wolf king to pick up garbage, and we must be cautious, Fat Orange is not around, and if we meet the wolf king, we will run away!" Jacques told Lily.

Lily was puzzled: "Where the fat orange can't get into, why can the wolf king?"

Jacques couldn't figure it out, so he shrugged helplessly, and at this moment, the phantom of the Su family's father and daughter who led the way in front suddenly disappeared.

The two had just entered the cave not far away, and the phantom who led the way disappeared at a fork in the road.

Jacques said angrily, "Is this going to test our luck?

"Or let's look for it separately?" Lily said lightly.

Jacques immediately nibbled Lily's thoughts in the bud, "We can't be separated! In case we meet the wolf king, the two of us will have a chance to escape, and if we are alone, we will have no power to fight back." ”

For joining forces to deal with the Know-It-All, Jacques is really not blindly confident, and after half a year of penance, the two of them have still honed some results.

Having decided to act together, Lily chose a direction and walked down the passage of the cave.

The passage went all the way down, and there was no obstacle, and the two of them soon saw a large light peeking out of the cave in front of them, and it seemed that it was approaching the exit.

At the end of the cave is a small patio with cliffs on all sides, and the entrance to the cave is a flat grass, and two phantoms appear in the middle of the grass, and they are fighting fiercely.

Jacques immediately recognized one of the phantoms as the girl from the previous father-daughter pair, and according to the scroll of paper in the cabin, the girl's name was Suni.

The girl with a low ponytail is obviously downwind, her opponent is taller than her, the upper limbs are strangely long, the lower limbs are short, and standing in place can also make two huge palms fall to the ground, compared to the werewolf seen before, the monster's facial features are more human-like.

However, both Jacques and Lily had dealt with Megaclawwolves who were able to unleash Earth Splitting, and the monster in front of them looked more like a Greatclawwolf's version of a werewolf.

The girl and the Giant Claw Werewolf had a fierce confrontation, and Jacques and Lily simply stood on the grass not far away and watched, and they couldn't help the phantom fight.

After a few rounds, the girl Suni's situation took a turn for the worse, and she was hit by the giant claw werewolf one after another, and finally she was grabbed by two giant claws, and the werewolf bent down and bit her shoulder.

As soon as he bit his hand, the giant claw werewolf threw Suni to the ground, then took a few steps back from the combat range, and actually crouched down to rest.

Suni looked at her shoulder, although the phantom could not show the bloody scene, the tattered clothes and rolled flesh still made Jacques and Lily gasp, after such a bite, the toxin in the werewolf's mouth had already entered the body along the wound, this girl would soon be transformed into a werewolf, no wonder the giant claw werewolf stepped aside to rest, there was no need to fight, the woman in front of him was about to become its companion.

The girl staggered, and in order to stand firmly, she inserted the hilt of her sword into the ground, supported it with one hand, raised her long sword with the other, and pointed at the giant clawed werewolf who was leisurely licking her two paws not far ahead, her mouth opening and closing, as if she was saying something.

It's a pity that she is just a phantom of light condensation, unable to speak, but Jacques and Lily, who are watching the battle, can still understand her grief and unwillingness.

The girl finally reached the moment when she could not stand firm with the hilt of the sword, only to see that she suddenly turned the long sword in her hand, pressed it against her neck, and wiped it hard, the light representing blood splattered out, and the girl leaned back, trying to squeeze out a smile on her face, and her eyes were wide open.

At the same time, a sentence is transferred to the world of the will of the two through spiritual power:

"I'm proud to be human!

For the sake of human dignity, I will never become that kind of monster!"

The Giant Claw Werewolf was a little annoyed, and slapped the ground with his two long arms, once, twice, three times.

In the first two slaps, the giant claw werewolf was not an entity and did not move, but in the third slap, the ground suddenly shook with its slap.

Jacques's expression suddenly froze, and his attention quickly jumped away from the suicide of the girl Suni, and he was concentrating on the giant claw werewolf.

At this time, the giant claw werewolf suddenly changed from an illusory shadow condensed by light to an entity, with a vivid expression, real hair, and even a roar when it hit the ground.

It seems that it has turned from virtual to real and has become part of the trial, and Jacques knows without guessing, now their goal is to defeat it!

Seeing that Lily wanted to rush forward first, Jacques slammed the long knife in his hand and stopped Lily's figure with the scabbard: "Master Lily, let me come." ”

Lily wanted to fight, but she was also made angry by Suni's experience, and wanted to vent on this giant clawed werewolf. But Jacques shouted for the first time, "Master Lily!"

She knew that this was the kind of honorific that Jacques would use to herself when she was so angry, so Lily stopped and left the battle to her apprentice.

Jacques nodded to Lily, reassuring her, and walked over to the Greatclaw Werewolf with his long knife in hand.

The giant claw werewolf did not pounce on Jacques at the first time, but used its two front paws to prop up the ground and slowly walked along the diagonal line towards Jacques's left side, observing the opponent in front of him as he went.

Jacques kept moving forward, not seeing him twist his body, but with every step he took, he was always facing the great-clawed werewolf.

Judging from the footwork movement, this giant clawed werewolf has a strong intelligence, it just from the way Jacques holds the knife, it can judge that Jacques is a right-handed knife, better at melee combat than long-range attacks, and the handle of the knife is ready to fire, and the first knife out of the sheath of the long knife must be a thunderous blow.

So the Greatclaw Werewolf kept moving towards Jacques's left front, where Jacques drew his sword and struck a single attack.

Jacques, on the other hand, never let it go into his own blind spot, and kept facing his opponent head-on.

Seeing that he hadn't gone around Jacques for a few steps in a row, the giant claw werewolf suddenly lowered his body and suddenly accelerated forward and jumped out, trying to get around Jacques's side with speed.

Jacques was quick to keep up with its movements, stepping diagonally with each step, gripping the hilt of his sword in preparation for an attack at any moment.

Only a few paces away, the Greatclaw Werewolf suddenly turned to the right, trying to turn to the right flank to attack Jacques.

Jacques did not turn around, but lunged and bent down, pressing the scabbard under his knees before drawing the knife out of its sheath.

Like a silver dragon, the long knife drilled out of its scabbard, and from the bottom to the top, it cut a crescent.

At the same time, Jacques took another step forward with his left foot against the silver crescent, and swung his left arm and swung the scabbard forward.

"Bang!"

There was a dull thud, and Jacques's swing sheath slammed into the Greatclaw's hard skull.

At some point, it had already swooped in front of Jacques, raised its two huge front paws, and struck Jacques from top to bottom in a volley stance.

Jacques's scabbard directly blinded the giant clawed werewolf!

It first changed direction to the right, then suddenly turned to the left, and then pounced, trying to kill the opponent in front of it with one blow, but he didn't expect this kid to suddenly swing out the scabbard and hit himself on the head.

No, how could he suddenly be so close to me?

Before the Giant Claw Werewolf could figure out why Jacques wasn't in the position it expected to strike, he felt his upper body become uncontrollable, flying sideways towards Jacques's right side in the direction of the scabbard's blow.

In vain, he waved his two front paws to grab Jacques, but because he flew too far, he grabbed an empty space, and tried to bite Jacques with his big mouth, and he was sheathed in the face, and he had no strength to open his mouth.

The body spun in a circle in the air, and the giant claw werewolf suddenly saw half of its body in front of Jacques, blood oozing outward along the neat broken surface.

Falling heavily to the ground, the Giant Claw Werewolf tried to get back to his feet, but could only command his two front paws to grab helplessly in the air.

The lower body I saw just now is probably my own!

Jacques slashed the giant claw werewolf in half with a knife from bottom to top, and then calmly slashed his head, and after completing a single action, he did not relax, but vigilantly observed the surroundings, waiting for new changes.

The preparation for the battle was only a minute, and still no new enemies appeared, and Lily behind Jacques suddenly spoke: "Jacques, look here, that girl ......"

Jacques turned his head to see that where the girl's phantom fell to the ground just now, the phantom had disappeared, turning into a white skeleton, the skeleton was small, and there was a brown long sword next to it, it seemed that it was indeed the girl who did not want to become a werewolf and chose to kill herself.

Jacques stepped forward and bent down to pick up the rusty brown sword, which looked like an ordinary iron sword, but after getting his hands on it, Jacques always felt that there must be something special about this sword, and after hesitation, he inserted it into his backpack.

Lily didn't care about a broken sword, she stepped forward and grabbed Jacques' hand and headed back to the cave, "We've come to the end here, let's go back to the fork in the road and see what's on that road." ”

Jacques thinks that this is the inheritance test of an ancient boss, don't go so much rational, just follow the path pointed out by the boss to complete the task. When this road comes to an end, it is natural to go back and try your luck on another path.

......

Returning and changing directions, the two turned into another fork in the road in a daze, walked for a while, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and drilled out of the hole to take a look.

Hey! It's exactly the same as the scene just now, the patio surrounded by mountain cliffs is flat, there is green grass, and in the middle of the lawn are still two phantoms fighting fiercely.

Only this time one side became a man with short hair and a beard, and the other side was another werewolf, and this werewolf looked exactly like the other werewolves Jacques had seen in the place.

On closer inspection, the situation seemed to be different from what Jacques had expected.

In the previous battle, the girl named Suni fought clumsily and was always at a disadvantage. And here, the short-haired strong man is also armed with a long sword, but he forces the werewolf to retreat and is at an absolute disadvantage.

The two sides fought more and more, but Jacques felt that the two phantoms in front of him seemed to be gradually condensing.

Probably deliberately to prove that Jacques's observation was not wrong, after several rounds of continuous attack and defense between the two sides, the two warring sides really became entities!

When the two finally became entities, Jacques and Lily could hear a voice coming from the short-haired man's mouth, "Where's my son?"

The werewolf, who was struggling to resist the man's attack, replied, "I don't know! Who are you?

"Don't admit it yet!" The man jumped out of the battle circle and waved his sword and pointed in one direction, saying: "Those corpses are all friends of my son, you still dare to deny it!

The werewolf turned his head to look at it, his face full of horror, and exclaimed, "How did they become human? Aren't they monsters? The one I just killed is obviously a monster!

"Monsters!" the short-haired man laughed, "Are they monsters? What are you? Go to the pond and see what you are!"

The werewolf didn't care about continuing to fight the short-haired man, turned around and ran a few meters away, although there was no pond there, but the werewolf still knelt on the ground, supported the ground with his two paws, and looked down carefully.

As if in disbelief, the werewolf stretched out his claws to caress his face, and was attracted by his furry paws, and began to examine his paws carefully.

"No!"

With a terrible howl, the werewolf covered his face and rolled on the ground.

"How could this be! How did I become a monster!"

The werewolf's world was crumbling, and after a few rolls, it finally got up and muttered, "Who am I? Why am I here?

The short-haired, bearded man crossed his arms and watched coldly, he couldn't figure out whether this monster was pretending or if it was really a monster turned into a human.

The werewolf looked up at the short-haired bearded man again, and suddenly stood still, and after a while, he cried out:

"Father!"
