Chapter 58: Nora, the Wolf King
The air was filled with the stench of animal feces, the rotting of dead branches and leaves, and not long ago, Cashew had seen the carcass of a deer, the blood had solidified on its fur, and flies were circling it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He sniffed, holding back the rancid stench, and walked through a wood. The hillside in front of you is slightly steep and topped with lush trees.
"Are you sure you should take this path?" questioned Cassius, looking around at the silence around him.
Thorne squatted on the ground, looked at the ground carefully, and said, "My lord, everyone else calls me the coward Thorne. But in fact, my ancestors were hunters, and my father hunted on the plains and encountered plains wolves. ā
"So you want to ......" Kasiu drew his dagger and raised his shield, looking warily at the woods.
"Adults were born in big cities, and they know very little about everything in the forest. Thorne casually touched the ground, "Look, these footprints were left by wolves." ā
Cassiu looked down and saw a mess of footprints on the ground, stretching into the distance.
"Then why are you called a coward?" Cassius followed Thorne, following the wolf's footprints.
Thorne blushed: "Not every hunter's child is suitable to be a hunter. When the lords cut down the woods to expand their territory, my mother, my sister and I all became farmers, except for my father, who insisted on hunting in the woods farther away while he was still alive. My peers, who adhered to the hunter's tradition, made fun of me as a coward. ā
"That is, you don't know much about everything in the forest?" Cassius smiled, "Fifty steps and a hundred steps." ā
"But I'm more familiar with wolves than you do. Thorne carefully examined the ground and continued, "In the plains and forests of Gasganik, there are wolves, and the people of Gasganik have fought wolves for several lifetimes. Legend has it that in the ancient century, the hero of Nimuyagada, Zoltan, also raised five wolves, and when fighting, the five wolves were extremely fierce, biting the enemy to disembowel, crying father and mother. ā
Cassius smacked his lips, and he and Thorne came to a high ground, and Thorne motioned for him to get down.
Below the highlands is a deep valley, and at the entrance to the deep valley, a gray wolf cub snuggles up to the gray-white haired she-wolf.
"If you guess correctly, if you go into a deep valley, you can find the wolf's den. Thorne shuddered, "Are you going to get Nora eaten?"
"Shut up!" said Cassiu, "she's a child of the forest, don't look tall, she's very strong and clever. "With the help of my Warframe, I fought with her for the Arcane Crystal Sword, and she fought with her bare hands, fighting as hard as I did.
Thorne pointed to the wolves in the distance: "Then what should I do? If the wolves all rush towards you, there are dozens of wolves." ā
Kahew whistled and said, "I'm the man who singled out the leopard." Wait until I've cleared the road ahead of me and keep up. ā
"I don't!" Thorne took a few steps back and shook his head, "I can stay here and wait for you to come out." I don't want to take any chances, I'm not as good as you. ā
Cassius grabbed Thorne's collar and looked fierce, "We all owe Nora her life. ā
Thorne was silent for a moment, sighed deeply, and shook his head: "Well, you have to be right. But you have to make sure that whether Nora is dead or alive, you have to get in alive and come out alive. Protect me, and maybe I can help you find the wolf's den faster. ā
With a light swing of the dagger in his right hand and a shield in his left, Kasiu walked down the high ground with his heart in his heart, and the she-wolf spotted him.
The she-wolf stood, hunched back, bared her teeth, and let out a low growl. The wolf whimpered, the she-wolf looked at the wolf, and the wolf stepped aside.
Cassius let out a loud cry and struck the shield with his dagger, and he found that the she-wolf's left hind leg was lame and bloody.
"Get out of here, don't look for death!" shouted Cassius, striking his dagger hard to scare the she-wolf. There's no need to waste time, I'm looking for Nora.
The she-wolf limped and moved her body with Cassiu's footwork, keeping the wolf behind her with her body.
"Master Cassiu, I think it wants to protect the wolf cubs. Thorne came down from the high ground and said, "Something is wrong, do you smell blood?" ā
Kasiu sniffed, he smelled a strong smell of blood. At this moment, there was a wolf howl in the deep valley, and after a while, the roar, the howl of the wolf, and the wailing sound continued to sound.
"What's going on inside?" said Kas, "we can't waste time waiting for me to kill it." ā
Thorne shook his head, pointed to the deep valley, and said, "Look, my God, run away!"
Kasiu saw that at the entrance to the deep valley in the distance, dust had been raised, and the sound of footsteps was chaotic. When he saw the sight, he was terrified: a pack of wolves, covered in blood, running from the deep valley, some wolves with newborn wolves in their mouths, some wolves were already able to run, running in the middle.
"Run!" Cassiu and Thorne ran back in a frenzy.
He turned his dagger into a whip, wrapped himself around a thick branch, and climbed up. As Thorne climbed up the tree with the whip, there were more than a dozen fish in the deep valley, and they ignored Cassius and Thorne, and looked back from time to time as they ran out of the ravine. The lame she-wolf just now smacked the wolf with her mouth, the wolf whimpered, and the she-wolf bit it gently. The wolf reluctantly stayed where it was.
"Something is wrong, they're fleeing the ravine. Thorne grabbed the branch, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "They seem to be running away with their young wolf cubs." ā
At this moment, a deafening roar was heard from the deep valley, and a flock of unknown birds flew into the sky.
"Nora, oh no, if Nora is inside......" Cassieu and Thorne climbed down the tree and came to the entrance of the valley again.
The she-wolf staggered to her feet, but without success, roared at Cassiu, a pool of blood under her left leg. The wolf didn't leave the she-wolf, and when he saw Cassiu, he showed his canine teeth.
"It's protecting the wolves, they can't go with the big army. He read the she-wolf's eyes, which were full of anger, despair, and reluctance.
"Hey, we're ...... No malice. Thorne raised his hand and said, "Cassiu, let's keep our distance from them, I think we'd better go in and see what's going on?" ā
The sight of the deep valley made Kasiu creep, there was blood everywhere, the severed legs of the wolf, the belly of a wolf was torn open, the intestines flowed to the ground, the neck of a wolf was broken, and it fell to the stone at a strange angle, and the right hind leg of a wolf was torn off, revealing the white bones of the wolf, and it wailed and lay limply on the ground.
"What's going on here?wolf pack fight?" Thorne waved his hand in front of his nose, "We're not going to have two big wolves fighting for territory, are we?"
At this time, the deafening sound sounded again. Cassius heard it well this time, the roar was low and angry, and he shouted, "It's a giant!"
Cassiu left Thorne where he was, and he ran in the direction of the sound.
Three giants, one with a stone axe, roared and screamed. On the ground, the skin of a giant's neck, chest, arms, and thighs was open, and a hole was bitten through the abdomen, and half of his intestines flowed out, and the blood flowed on the ground, and the third giant held a broken wolf leg in his hand and prostrate on the ground, blood stained his whole body. Around the giant lay the corpses of seven or eight wolves.
Seven wolves were still alive, hunched over and roaming the giants. Three wolves roamed from the giant's right side, and the giant shook the stone axe in his right hand. Two wolves appeared on the giant's left side, and the giant looked at it vigilantly, and the sixth wolf couldn't hold his breath, rushed behind the giant, and bit the giant's leg.
The giant roared, turned sideways, grabbed the wolf's neck with his left hand, and the seventh wolf rushed over and bit the giant's left hand, and the five wolves on either side of the giant just now besieged it. The giant angrily cracked the neck of the wolf that had bitten his left hand with his axe, and the wolf did not even say a word, and his body went limp.
"Fight, fight. When you're done, I'll look for Nora. Cassius ducked to the side and whispered to himself.
"Bite him to death!" a childish child's voice sounded. The Children of the Forest stood not far away, with a huge white wolf beside him.
"Nora!" Cassius was taken aback.
The giant swept with an axe, and the wolf on the right hurriedly dodged. There was a hole in his left hand that the wolf's teeth had bitten out, and blood was gurgling from it, but he was so angry that the wolf who had bitten his leg just now took a few steps back, and he took a stride up and kicked the wolf in the head. The wolf had miscalculated the distance between himself and the giant.
The giant rushed at Nora. The white wolf roared, and the five wolves, who were not injured, followed in the giant's footsteps.
"Nora!" Cassius shouted, he didn't care so much, he raised his hand, and the dagger turned into a spear and plunged it into the giant's back.
The giant shook his body, screamed, and stumbled forward.
His target was Nora Cassiu. He turned his shield into a dagger and ran through the wolves. He didn't care so much, he was gambling, betting that the wolves wouldn't attack him.
A wolf bit him, and he used the armor of his left arm to turn into a shield to block the wolf's bite.
"Ragnar, that's my friend!" Nora said, standing on the hill, jumping and jumping.
The white wolf roared, and the wolf spared Cassius and turned his attention to the giant. A wolf bit the giant's right leg, and the giant kicked it, and the wolf was kicked far away, rolling on the ground.
Cassius turned his new shield in his left hand back into his armour, and turned his sword into a barbed whip and flung it at the giant. The giant shook violently, and Kasiu pulled the whip and climbed up step by step like a mountain.
The giant reached out and grabbed his back, Cassius dodged his left hand, and the two wolves took advantage of the gap to bite the giant's left leg, and the injured left leg again made the giant fall to his knees.
Cassieu was thrown to the ground. He adjusted his snort, and without a weapon, he chose to turn his leg armor into a two-handed sword, and the giant swung his stone axe wildly, and the wolf dodged and circled him.
Cassius rushed forward again, plunging his two-handed sword into the giant's back, and the giant screamed deafeningly. But the cry didn't last long, and the white wolf leaped forward and bit the giant's neck when he raised his head, and the white wolf deftly jumped away the moment before the giant grabbed him.
Blood gushed out from the giant's neck, and he hissed, clumped to the bottom, and twitched. Cassiu combined all the weapons stuck in the giant's back into a two-handed greatsword and slashed the giant's neck.
"Oh my God, Cassiu, you're amazing!" Nora exclaimed, giving her middle finger, "That's amazing!"
The wolves gathered around White Wolf and Nora, watching Cassius warily.
"Can you explain what the hell is going on?" Cassius looked at Nora unscathed.
"Ragnar, I've seen it back then, and now it's so big. It became Axel's aide-de-camp. Nora pointed to the black wolf who had bitten Cassiu.
"Adjutant?" Cassiu frowned.
"Axel, this white wolf, is their first wolf. Nora patted the white wolf's head lightly, "Ash grabbed me, and I unleashed my magic, and my whole body became as hard as stone. It couldn't bite me, and I felt familiar with it, so I told it and took me to its head. The giants spotted me and them and attacked. ā
"I know that many wolves have escaped with their cubs outside the valley. Thorne appeared behind Casheu, "Most of those who died were adult male wolves, who were protecting the weak female wolves of the pack and the young wolves withdrawing. ā
"Wait, you're you, can you communicate with the wolf?" Cassius thought it was amazing, "This isn't a bedtime fairy tale told by an old granny!"
"No, you think the old granny is telling a bedtime story?" Thorne smiled playfully, "Your Excellency, you don't know anything about the forest. In the biography of Nimuagada, wolves and humans were friends. ā
"I am even more friends with the children of the forest. Nora patted her chest, "How's it going?" Cassiu, I'm amazing, right?"
"Okay, ghost, you're amazing. But if you give me the middle finger again, I will chop off your finger. Kasiu said indignantly, "You can't be a lady?"
"Hey, you dare to threaten me?" Nora crossed her hands on her hips, "Remember, I'm over 800 years old!"
"Yes, granny!" Cassius sighed helplessly.
"Cassiu ......"
"What?"
"You still call me a ghost......" (To be continued.) )
