Chapter 40: Warmth in Savagery
The wolf king's deep wolf eyes looked directly at Thor, and for a moment Thor felt as if he had been seen through by a beast, and that gaze penetrated deep into his heart, as if he wanted to see through his whole person, perhaps because the intuition of beasts was really far superior to that of humans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I don't know how long such a silent confrontation lasted, as if for a moment, and as if half a day had passed, Thor could only do his best to look at the wolf king sincerely.
He really didn't have any other thoughts, he just wanted to help Grey Wind's kindred, so he wasn't afraid to open his heart to the Wolf King.
Finally, after the wolf king stared at Thor deeply, the wolf head bowed his head lightly and agreed to Thor for help.
"Kaziba—" After receiving permission, Thor hurriedly summoned the witch doctor he had just summoned, and he was probably the only one who could see a doctor here.
"Obey your orders, my master—ahem" The thin old man wrapped himself in strips of cloth and slumped over to Thor, who smelled the strong smell of unknown herbs on the old man's body.
"Can you heal the beast?" Thor asked, holding back the pungent smell of medicine.
"Of course you can—both beasts and men have the same soul, master. Kaziba grinned, revealing a few teeth that had been smeared black by some unknown paint, and laughed uglyly, making people feel chills when they looked at it.
After speaking, he trembled and walked towards the wolf king who was lying on the ground, walking slowly, and I don't know if it was because he wanted to relax the vigilance of the giant wolf or because he couldn't walk fast.
But the wolf king seemed to be very displeased with Kaziba, and when he saw the vulture-like old man approaching him, he bared his teeth and made a "gurgling" sound in his throat, as if to warn the old man not to come near.
"Hey, hey, stupid beast" Kaziba didn't care about the wolf king's warning, he squatted down tremblingly, stretched out his skinny palm, put it on the wolf king without fear, and began to check it.
The wolf king's mouth "grunting" was stronger, and he stared at Kazba fiercely with an unkind and evil face, but after all, he didn't tear the old man's throat in one bite.
The experienced old witch doctor, who was carefully examined as if no one else was around, as if he didn't care about the object of his examination at all, was an incomparably huge terrifying wolf, at this moment Kaziba was just treating patients as a doctor, and even dared to forcibly open the wolf king's mouth despite the struggle, and looked inside carefully.
Thor had to admire the witch doctor, who didn't look like a good person, and he had to admit that the witch doctor was perfectly qualified in terms of treatment, and he couldn't help but start to evaluate the thin old man again.
The rain had completely stopped, the sun shone through the leaves, sprinkled on the green grass of the forest, Kaziba's medical treatment was over in a moment, Saul's hanging heart finally let go, for Kaziba's courage, Saul admired, and Diana, Pompeii, Bertha and others behind him also opened their mouths and looked at this gloomy old man incredulously.
I don't know what gave him the courage to dare to inspect a wolf king so unscrupulously, and maybe it was because he was lucky that he didn't get bitten off his neck?
"Hehe, master—" Returning to Thor's side, Kazba panted, examining the giant wolf, which weighed more than a few hundred kilograms, was also a test of physical strength.
"How's it going? What did it hurt?"
"Snort-" The old man laughed strangely, the loose skin on his cheeks trembling, and he lifted the folds of his face with his dry palm, and said with a sneer:
"The beast is not hurt, master, it is only hungry until its feet are weak. ”
"What, hungry!" Thor exclaimed, with a look of incredulity.
"yes, I think it hasn't eaten for at least five days. Kazibah laughed strangely, and said to Thor, "Not only him, but these beasts have been hungry for a long time, and you can see that some of them are almost unstable on their feet." ”
Thor suddenly realized, he said that why this group of wolves used tactics that consumed physical strength to deal with them in the first place, it turned out that it was because of the strength of the outside.
It seems that after the tentative attack, the wolves understood that Thor and Pompeii were two hard bones to gnaw, and they had no physical strength to attack them, so they had to grind hard.
It is no wonder that since the violent storm passed, the number of animals in the forest has suddenly plummeted, and hunting has become extremely difficult, and it is difficult for the hunters of the tribe to hunt the prey, and the source of food for the tribe is basically from the sea for a while.
"Master-" Kazba came over secretly, and the thin old man whispered with a strange smile, "these beasts are now a pile of flowers, and they can't run at all, let's leave now, and follow secretly, or it won't be long before we can harvest a pack of dead wolves without much effort." ”
Thor blinked, he could get a bunch of wolf meat for nothing, wolf skins, and wolf teeth were of course very good, especially the figure of these giant wolves, made into jerky, I am afraid that the tribe would not have to worry about eating it in the next year.
But he didn't want to do this, the survival on the island was cruel, yes, if it was a group of wild wolves that he didn't know, he would have a chance to kill them in vain, and Thor would certainly not be relentless.
But these wolves are Greywind's kindred, and Thor has always regarded Greywind as a member of the tribe, so how can he turn his back on his companions? Even if it is a beast, it is a companion!
"Thank you for your advice, Kaziba—" Patting the old man on the shoulder, Thor said with a smile, "But please allow me not to take it this time." ”
"Of course, it seems that I was reckless, my master—" Kazba bowed his head and bowed in apology.
"Diana, Pompeii. Thor turned around and muttered, "You two go back to the tribe and inform Kratos and Morey to bring some fish and meat, and we must help Greywind's companions." ”
"Yes, Lord Thor" The two of them responded, and the wolves didn't stop them this time.
Thor came to the wolf king and stooped down, keeping himself at almost the same height as the lying wolf.
"I know, it's hard to get you to believe me completely. Thor said in a deep voice, "But at least believe that I'm helping you. ”
He looked directly into the eyes of the wolf king, did not flinch in the slightest, opened his heart, he had a hunch that the inspiration of these beasts was much stronger than that of humans, and they did not understand what they said, but understood their own hearts.
"I'll get some food in a minute, but you've been hungry for too long, and you may have to recuperate for a while, and you won't be able to catch your prey if you hold on. ”
Thor looked at the wolf king while saying what he really thought in his heart, he didn't know if the giant wolf on the other side could understand words, but Thor felt that if he could feel his heart, then words would no longer be an obstacle.
"You can come to my tribe to recuperate, and I'll give you food and go hunting when you're well, okay?"
The wolf king also stared at Thor without blinking, and the man and the wolf seemed to be communicating in some strange way, and Thor continued without pausing:
"You are of the same clan as Greywind, and perhaps you are his father or mother, so I am willing to help you, because I also consider Greywind to be my companion. As he spoke, Thor smiled and rubbed the head of the gray wolf leaning against him.
"As for how you decide, it's up to you, I don't know if you understood what I said, Wolf King, but I hope you can trust me and believe in Grey Wind. ”
After speaking, there was a dense sound of footsteps in the distance. Apparently, Kratos they are coming.
