Chapter 22: Wolves

I had heard of the bad relationship between the two before, and I was as smart as Kevin and naturally guessed it. I saw him sneer, and said coolly: "Sure enough, it is a beast that is up when he sees the lust, and people hook their fingers and run over to die." โ€

Heywood glared at Kevin through gritted teeth, "Bastard! Who do you say is a beast? โ€

"Recently, the tutors of some nobles have really gotten worse and worse, and if they are not grateful to their life-saving benefactors, they will speak ill of them."

"What are you talking about?!"

Kevin's body stiffened, his smile became brighter, his hands flipped over, and a circle of dazzling divine energy swirled around his body at high speed, "Who do you say is the sissy?" โ€

"Say you! You're a sissy who isn't a man or a woman! Not to be outdone, Heywood was full of energy, and several arrows made of condensed fighting spirit loomed in his chest.

"Looks like you're tired of being alive, beast."

"Hmph, it's better than a sissy-"

"Well, while I don't want to interrupt the deep conversation, I feel like they have something to talk to you about." Du Yuhan pointed ahead with a grimace.

A pair of green eyes sparkle and sparkle in the dark night.

Kevin:......

Haywood:......

Obscured by dark clouds, the moonlight shone dimly on the earth, and at this time Du Yuhan and his party saw the true face of the enemy.

It's a moonless wolf!

The lack of moon wolf, wind attribute, because there is a white crescent-shaped hair quilt on the chest, is inherently called the lack of moon wolf. There is no fixed nest, it is infested in many groups, it is nocturnal and nocturnal, it has a mixed diet, and its attack power is medium to low but it moves quickly.

The wolves stood less than twenty meters away from them, staring at the delicious food in front of them with shining eyes. One of them raised its head and let out a low howl. Then it grew louder and louder, and if one wolf roared, the others howled, raising their hungry cries higher and higher, and the sound shook all over the wilderness, refreshing the marrow of the people in the boundless darkness of the night.

The yellow-brown wolves gradually swarmed around and formed an encirclement. In general, a wolf pack has only seven members to make up the basic family. But for some reason, the number of wolves in this pack is obviously much larger, and a rough estimate shows that there are as many as thirty.

The first one was more daring, only to see its sharp teeth, spit out its blood-red long tongue, and suddenly jumped high like a spring, and its limbs stretched out in the air, wanting to knock Du Yuhan, who was standing in front of him, to the ground.

But when its figure was still in mid-air, it was knocked away by Kevin, who had already hidden the divine magic in his hands. A flash of golden light flashed, and the moonless wolf had been knocked to the ground.

At the same time, the arrows condensed by the fighting spirit on Heywood's chest also swished forward, which could seal the direction of the wolves' advance, leaving a small pit in the ground, full of warning.

Seeing this, the other moonless wolves didn't dare to act rashly, but just kept howling, as if assessing the strength of these humans.

As things stand, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that the Moonless Wolf is the lowest rank of all the wolf clans.

The bad news is that there are also three orders at the lowest level.

Unfortunately, their highest rank was only the third order......

The question of whether to fight or not only stayed in Du Yuhan's mind for half a second, and they turned around and ran without hesitation.

Just kidding, if there are only seven or eight, they may not be able to beat them with all their might; But the people dragged several generations out of the same house to forage for food, and the result of their hard work was that they would all become the beasts' delicious supper tonight.

I didn't expect this group of humans to run so simply, and the wolves let them run a few meters away.

An angry wolf howled at Tianchang, and the wolves behind him immediately chased forward fiercely.

***************

"Speed of Light!" Kevin's right hand was raised, and a white light flashed over everyone, only to feel that his feet were light, and the speed that had slowed down was raised again, and he pulled away a lot from the wolves behind him.

After almost an hour of running, everyone began to feel tired, but the wolves behind them still chased after them.

Du Yuhan is okay, thanks to Mr. Barton's usual high-pressure policy, until now his body is quite sufficient. But as a relatively weak profession, Kevin is already flushed, but he can barely keep up with Du Yuhan's pace.

But Heywood's situation was not so good. I saw that his cheeks were covered with sweat, and he was sliding down drop by drop, hitting his dry and pale lips, and his clothes looked a little tattered because of the loss of consciousness just now.

Although archers are known for their agility and are good long-distance runners, it stands to reason that they should not be so wolf-bรจi. But because he had just woken up from a coma, he was already half a disabled person, and his legs were as if they had been filled with lead, and he was so heavy that he couldn't lift up.

"Ahh As soon as he was not paying attention, his feet were not steady, and Heywood's body was crooked, and he was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, he felt that his neckline was tight, his feet were light, and the whole person was half lifted.

Du Yuhan stretched out his big hand, grabbed Heywood's neckline, and continued to run forward while dragging it.

Although the posture is very embarrassing, Heywood, who has long been out of strength, can still distinguish the weight, and unwillingly bites his lower lip and struggles to keep up with Du Yuhan's footsteps.

Looking to the side distractedly, Kevin, who could barely hold on, was panting, and his speed had gradually slowed down. He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Kevin, and ran forward with him.

Du Yuhan thought bitterly: Damn! Are the three of us here like this tonight?

Just when everyone thought they would die tonight, a turning point came.

"It's a swamp!" Kevin, who had always maintained the Radiance Technique to illuminate the way ahead, found a swampy river about seven or eight meters wide not far away. The river is so long that you can't see the end of the river from a distance.

Du Yuhan's eyes lit up, although the river is not wide, this swamp should be able to delay the speed of the wolves.

He didn't have the heart to consider whether there were other beasts inhabiting near the swamp, Du Yuhan pulled over the vines hanging down by the river for Heywood to grab, and regardless of whether the other party was ready or not, he pushed forward hard and swung the other party to the other side of the river.

Seeing that he was about to reach the other side, he heard a crisp snap, and the vines above his head broke in two. With a scream, Heywood lay on his stomach in the swamp not far from the shore, his hands clinging to the dirt on the shore.

Then, Du Yuhan quickly wrapped the vines hanging on the shore around his arm a few times, stretched out his big hand to grab Kevin, who was about to take off, and ran towards the other side of the swamp.

The fragile vines couldn't support the weight of the two adult men at all, and when he felt the vines above his head fall sharply, Du Yuhan threw himself forward and fell on the other side of the river, and the vines in his hands also broke in response.

didn't have time to pick up Kevin, who was crushed under the ground and grinned in pain, he turned around and pulled out Heywood, who was still buried in the swamp, and pulled it out vigorously, ignoring the smelly mud on his body, he carried one in his left hand and pulled one with his right hand, and ran forward lifelessly.

The wolves, who had been following closely behind, saw the swamp in front of them, weighed the distance, and found that there was no way to jump across the river, so they could only howl unwillingly to the sky, and watched the food that was about to reach their mouths disappear from their eyes.

****************

After making sure that the wolves behind them were not chasing after them, several people were so tired that they fell on the grass, unable to lift half a finger.

"Whew...... Call...... We...... This is safe, isn't it......" Du Yuhan said breathlessly, took out a water bag from the ring, took a few sips, and handed it to Kevin.

Kevin's body fell to the ground with a fee, and his hands trembled to take the water bag, his body was the worst among several people, his magic power and body that had maintained the Radiance Technique for a long time had long been exhausted, and his face was now pale and a little transparent.

After a few sips, he threw it to Heywood, who was spread across from him.

"Whew......" struggled to pick up the water bag, and Heywood gasped, unable to lift up a little strength, unable to speak.

Fearing that there were other unknown beasts nearby, they decided to drag their tired bodies to find a place to camp tonight.

Luckily, it didn't take long for them to find a small cave. The location of the cave is very secretive, and although it is a little fishy and damp, it seems that the thick ash inside should have been uninhabited by other creatures for a long time.

After simply arranging the bedding, Du Yuhan decided to arrange his own vigil first, so that the two people who were not supported could rest.

Originally, Kevin insisted that he keep vigil first, but in the end, Du Yuhan was forced to fall asleep. As for Heywood, he fell asleep after simply cleaning up the cave.

I hadn't rested much tonight, but I was tired of running for a long time, and it wasn't long before the sound of even breathing came from the cave.

Du Yuhan looked up at the gray moonlight, stunned.

It had not been ten days since they had come out, and before a tenth of the journey had been completed, they had almost been wiped out, and it seemed that the danger of the world was far greater than he had originally expected.

Not to mention how to find a way back, now it's a question of whether or not the academy's trials can be completed. Relatively speaking, this commission is already relatively simple, but they have not even gotten the entrusted items, so they almost confessed here.

Slowly opening his palm, his malted palm was covered with calluses and empty, and he slowly clenched his fists.

Du Yuhan realized that his strength was far from strong enough, and he was not enough to protect himself when he encountered danger. If he was a sixth-order warrior, he might not be able to confront that group of unidentified night raiders head-on, but it wouldn't be enough to say that they would all run away when they encountered a group of third-order moonless wolves.

He doesn't want to become a great swordsman or a god of war, as long as he has a certain ability and finds a relatively safe place, it shouldn't be much of a problem to survive.

Du Yuhan was very optimistic, but he underestimated the importance of the identity of "eldest young master". Although he has deliberately shown that he is low-key, in this world where the strong are respected, you don't look for trouble, but trouble will still come to you.

********************

"You said they ran away?!" In a luxurious room, a man in his early thirties looked gloomily at the man in black standing in front of him.

"Yes."

"When?"

"It's probably late at night."

"Didn't you keep someone watching?"

"The subordinates are incompetent." The man in black hung his head even lower.

"Rubbish!" In anger, the man slapped his palm on the solid wood desk, leaving a distinct fingerprint. "It's just a few second- and third-order little ants, you ten sixth-order thieves can't handle it!"

The man in black bowed his head and did not speak.

After a long time, the man calmed down. "Where did they go?"

"According to the investigation, they went to the interior of the Bell Wetlands."

"Inside the wetlands?" As we all know, the level of the demonic beasts inside the Bell Wetland is basically the fourth or fifth order, and he doesn't know the other two, but according to the strength of his third brother, just with those few low-level professionals, he will be dead.

The man stopped talking, as if contemplating his next move.

"Bring a bunch of people and go to the wetlands to find me. To live to see people, to die to see corpses! โ€

Although he had determined that under the siege of many demonic beasts, the chances of survival of that person were extremely low. But a careless person before has been escaped by his dear second brother, and he must not let go of the third brother who is close to him!

"Yes." When the man in black received the order, he disappeared from the room with a whoosh.

Turning his head to look out the window, the man's eyes showed a crazy look.

He has been planning for so many years, doing his best for the family, and the position of heir must be his! He must not let a few little bugs ruin his plans, not even brothers!
