Chapter 1: Prologue - Departure

Next Chapter

Humid clouds and mist are flowing slowly along the hillsides and woodlands, driven by the early morning mountain breeze. In the middle of it, I could feel the changes brought about by the early summer in the part of my skin that was not covered by my clothes.

The weather is getting warmer.

"Father, I don't really want to leave the foothills and the jungle. ”

Turning around and stepping into the stone house, looking at my mother, who was packing up, I stretched out my mature paws and pressed the "stone" that was rushing over to rub against me.

As a Yunman black wolf whose parents were shot by human hunters, it has been adopted by us since he was a child, and has long regarded the human wolves of the tooth wolf clan as its family.

Looking at the stone's pricked ears, I crouched down and stroked its back. Early in the morning, my father was told that he was going to leave with the man who had come to the village yesterday, and after a long silence, I still expressed my resistance with very puzzled thoughts.

Just as I don't want to be sent to other black wolves, I don't want to go alone into the human life circle β€”β€”β€” the horrors of the human world, even if we live deep in the mountains, we have heard of it.

"Gray Lei, you heard it, my daughter doesn't want to go out. ”

I don't have a lot of luggage, so my mother has already taken care of it. When she put down her bags and came over to hug me, I realized that I had to go.

In major matters, the mother always listens to the father.

"I hear you...... But I made a pact with Mr. Gott to ...... when he needed it."

Father paused, as if to weigh his words. I understand that he just wanted to make sure that this matter was irreparable in a more tactful way.

"Send one of your clan's right-hand hunters to help him β€”β€”β€” Lu'er, you're fit. ”

"But I'm not recognized as a hunter yet, and I won't be ...... until the end of the summer"

My mother held the paws of my arm slightly, trembling slightly. She couldn't bear me, but she couldn't disobey my father's willβ€”β€”β€” so I made a final struggle.

"Our people have a pact with him. Seeing that he was already able to hunt the wind and deer alone, Gray Lei made an explanation that could not be denied.

The village had received help from Got, and he had an agreement with Gotβ€”β€”β€” the tooth wolf clan was not human, and had a special stubbornness to abide by the contract.

Of course, he didn't say anything about his petty ambitions.

The position of the head wolf has been occupied by the wolves of the dust for too long, if the daughter can ......

"Okay, I'll do it, but when will I be back?"

Taking out the piece of wheat chicken that the human had given me yesterday, I tore open the paper bag and gave the last one to the stoneβ€”β€”β€” secretly deciding to go to the human world to learn how to cook it, and I didn't reveal my father's little thoughts.

............

Day 2β€”β€”β€”β€”

When the light of dawn shone on my face through the cracks in the clouds, I, who had been walking in the clouds for a day and night, could not help but stop and salute the huge rock that looked like a wolf of the roaring moon on the other side of the valley.

Legend has it that the Tooth Wolf Clan was one of the guardians of the mountains.

"Whewβ€”β€”β€”"

Facing the golden morning sun, I opened my arms and let out a pleasant howl. After climbing over a sparsely vegetated mountain, you will arrive at the agreed meeting point.
