Although it was daytime, the sky was already overcast, and the misty drizzle continued to fall, like layers of mist hovering over the earth, revealing a cold chill all the time.

In the spring rain of smoke and dust, a ghostly black shadow wandered through the jungle silently.

It was an adult dire wolf.

These terrible killers are scattered across the vast wilderness after each beast tide, becoming the deadliest threat to those who leave the town, until the next beast tide comes, they will once again be part of the dark army, and if there is one thing that humans hate the most in this world, then the dire wolf must be among them.

The big black creature walked through the sparse dead woods, raising its head from time to time, sensing the breath of life in the air with the tip of its hard nose, and then swaying its body with a low growl when it didn't notice anything, trying to shake off the unpleasant droplets of its hair, though in vain, which would soon be retaken by the rain.

The world is cruel, not only for humans, but also for beasts. Everything is for survival and reproduction, and all creatures in this world are no exception.

Suddenly, the dire wolf raised its head violently and let out a low, anxious roar, its long fangs peeking out of its upturned lips, and the foul-smelling saliva dripped into a thin strand, and the muscles of its body tensed up, as if sensing some danger approaching.

Shhh

In just a moment, a rapid sound of pulling the air sounded, and I saw a white line like a streamer breaking through the rain curtain and shooting straight towards the dire wolf.

As soon as the alert dire wolf exerted his limbs, his body jumped to the side, and the general avoided the white line. Then there was a muffled sound, and a white feathered arrow appeared on the dead wood that was originally located behind it, and the tip of the arrow bit into the rotten wood, and the tail of the arrow trembled violently, constantly making a buzzing sound.

But this was only the beginning, and three more white feather arrows were fired.

This time the dire wolf was not as lucky as before. Leaping into the air again to dodge, it was shot through the abdomen by one of the feathered arrows, and fell crookedly to the ground.

Before it could get up, the rumbling of the ground was already coming quickly, and a heavily armed knight tore through the rain curtain and rushed out of it, galloping in front of the dire wolf almost in the blink of an eye.

In a flash of cold light, the dire wolf's head separated from its body at a speed that could hardly even be reflexed, and then the knight Lerma stood up. After turning in a circle, he grabbed the head of the dire wolf in his hand with a wave of his right hand, and the body that lost his head fell to the ground, twitching reflexively.

"Well done."

There was another sound of horses' hooves, and soon another knight dressed like the Kill Wolf Knight came out of the rain, with a longbow hanging from the side of his saddle and an arrow bag on his back, as if he had shot the previous feathered arrows.

The knight with the wolf's head paid no attention to the compliments of his companions. After shaking off the rain and blood on the Xueliang long knife, the knife was put into the sheath. Then he deftly rolled over and dismounted, crouching beside the remains of the dire wolf. Stretching out his right hand in his armor, he flipped the wolf corpse, then kneaded it under its belly, then got up and looked at his companion, calmly stating his judgment.

"It's a mother's, ** very drum, with milk. There should be cubs, not too far. ”

"Looks like luck, I'll leave it to me next." The Knight of the Back Bow whistled and patted a long leather pouch hanging from his mount's side a moment later. The mouth of the leather pouch was pushed open from the inside, and a small head stretched out, and after looking left and right, he immediately held his head with his two front paws, and squeaked, as if complaining about something.

The Knight with the Bow rubbed the little thing's head, "Maggie, there's something to do, go find that wolf cub." ”

Hearing the master's order, the little thing suddenly came out of the leather bag, and it turned out to be a purple-black mink. I saw it jump off the horse, trot all the way to the wolf's corpse, sniff back and forth with its small nose, and then pounced into the dead wood not far away, and disappeared.

"I'll take a look, Hajik, I'll leave it to you." The knight with the bow dismounted and ran in the direction Maggie had left.

Hajik nodded slightly, put the wolf corpse into a large cloth bag, tied it to the horse, and then returned to the horse's back, his sharp eyes penetrated the water curtain that kept falling from the brim of his hat, and he was condescendingly vigilant at every movement around, at the same time, an eagle falcon in the sky also continued to wander here, forming a three-dimensional monitoring system with him.

In a short time, the eyes of Hajik and the falcon in the sky locked in one direction at the same time, and a moment later, the figure of the knight with the bow walked out from that direction, and Maggie was lying on his right shoulder.

Hajik's gaze flickered, and he immediately moved to the dire wolf cub that the archerman was carrying.

"I found one, and it's been at least three or four months." The knight with the bow lifted the back of the dire wolf cub by the neck and showed it to Hajik. The little wolf cub is fleshy, but it has sharp teeth, but it is not cute at all, and it has been trying to bite the hand that holds it, and its ferocious nature is revealed.

"Just meet the requirements." Hajik said lightly, then took out a few wooden sticks from the horse's sack, combined them with the locks prepared in advance, and turned them into a wooden pole more than one person high, and then embedded a holy emblem in the notch at the top of the wooden pole, and finally held the wooden pole in one hand, and plunged its end into the dirt on the ground.

"May the Lord give us divine strength to dispel this filthy darkness ......"

The two knights whispered prayers at the same time, and as they prayed, the emblem at the top of the pole emitted a misty light, turning into a long white line that shot into the sky, and then connected with the huge pillar of light in the distance. As the connection was established, a trace of white light spread from the end of the wooden pole into the dirt, and a faint black smoke immediately rose from the nearby dirt, which was then purified in the holy light.

"Okay, I hope this time it lasts longer, it's really troublesome to clean up those beasts that are roaming around." Bow Rider Road.

The wilderness is not only dangerous, but also unsuitable for growing crops due to the erosion of the dark - it is good luck to be able to get half of it back the next year by sowing a handful of seeds. Therefore, if you want to expand your territory, it is useless to expand your territory, and you must also purify this wild wasteland to adapt to human survival.

The long wooden pole that had just been inserted into the ground by Hajik was specially made by the temple sacrifice group to purify the dark power, and was named the Holy Emblem Totem, which was very useful for purifying this wild wasteland. However, the creatures that live here and are eroded by the dark power will not like it, so it is often not long after the Holy Radiance Totem is inserted and will be destroyed by the nearby or wandering dark creatures, which requires the knights to keep clearing the dark creatures and reinserting the Holy Radiance Totem, this see-saw process often lasts dozens of times, until one side is completely defeated.

"This wolf should be the last dark creature in the neighborhood."

Hajik calmly looked at the white light extending from the top of the Holy Radiance Totem, and then whistled, and the eagle falcon wandering in the sky immediately swooped down and landed firmly on his shoulder, and as soon as he saw this natural enemy, the mink named Maggie was so frightened that he immediately burrowed back into the skin bag, and automatically closed the mouth of the skin bag. Hajik took out a bloodshot strip of fresh meat from the cloth bag around his waist and threw it to the falcon, who swallowed it as soon as he raised his head, and then touched the falcon's back and shook his shoulder slightly, and the falcon immediately rose into the air again, flying in a circle above his head.

"Let's go."

The two knights steered their horses and galloped away in the direction they had come.

Soon, the place was quiet again, and only the Holy Radiance Totem silently emitted a soft light.

……

"It's spectacular." Chen Peng looked at the landscape in front of him and expressed his heartfelt admiration.

This is the pass at the upper end of the Fenrir River, where the dam that began construction last winter has taken shape. The dam is built against the mountain, the stone and wood structure, divided into two sections - the high dam area and the low dam area, the distance between the two sections is nearly one kilometer, the height of the high dam area is about 15 meters, and the low dam area is also seven or eight meters, forming a mirror-like lake in the middle, which can be called magnificent.

On the other side of the hill, a mountain castle is winding its way up, roughly divided into three tiers according to height, each separated by a stone wall—only the outermost part of the wall has been completed, and the rest is only a rudimentary form.

The first floor at the bottom is the settlement area, which is composed of a large flat land in front of the mountain and a relatively gentle slope at the bottom of the mountain, and the rows of houses are gathered in this area, although the houses are still very simple from a distance, the specific planning has been reflected - the whole settlement area is basically built in the pattern of large and small houses around a central square, one by one is very neatly divided, and the lines of all the building areas are boxy, which has a sense of orderly beauty.

The second and third floors of the castle are not yet fully completed, with only a few scattered buildings standing there, the second floor is designed to be the barracks and administrative offices, while the third floor is the residence of the lord and the shrine.

The name of the mountain town is Minas Tirith - Chen Peng later learned that Adelaida had somehow become obsessed with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and still thinks that she will find a way to enjoy it when the Hobbit trilogy is released - which explains why she gave the mountain city this name.

Outside the walls are golden fields, thousands of acres stretching down the river, mills dotted between the fields and the river, and farther away there are rough outlines of the various livestock breeding areas, and at the edge there are already several watchtowers, watching for any threat from outside.

This is the Rohavir Realm of the Fragment Plane, the land of eternal dawn in the hearts of those who live here. (To be continued.) )
