Chapter 12: The Wolf Plague
Qian Fei and Er'er walked quietly in the empty forest, and from time to time there were crisp and pleasant birdsong in their ears.
After sending the woman away, Qian Fei returned to the place where he had fallen off the cliff before, where he found his steel claws, and also saw the long-dead scavenging beast, its body was moved by some unknown demon beasts, leaving only a pile of broken skeletons.
Of course, the demon core naturally will not be left behind by Qian Fei, which makes Qian Fei a little regretful.
The demon core of the scavenging beast is more refined and condensed than that of ordinary demon beasts, and it is also more valuable.
……
The two of them walked among the trees, surrounded by fresh air and dappled sunlight shining on the ground, creating a leisurely atmosphere.
At this time, there are not too many demon beasts.
During the day, especially at noon, those fierce monsters generally choose to sleep, overexposure to the sun, which will have a certain purifying effect on their blood, and they do not like the feeling of being purified.
"Huh? What about the woman? After holding back for a long time, he finally asked.
"Gone."
"Huh?" He was a little puzzled.
"Well, I'm going back to her boss." Qian Fei explained.
He smiled teasingly: "You guys...... Nothing happened? ”
Qian Fei's face darkened: "Just for a short time, what do you want us to do?" ”
Who to look down on!
Qian Fei felt that he was insulted!
Ear: "......"

The other side.
After Leping and Bai Ding searched for two days, they still didn't find the whereabouts of Er'er, Leping had a flash of inspiration, and guessed that Er'er might have returned to the wooden house in advance.
He made a quick decision and rushed back immediately.
……
When Leping first met Er, she was undergoing an entrance test at the academy's field training grounds, which she could have been exempted from with her family's strength, but her father insisted that she participate.
The so-called entrance test is actually a unified exhibition arranged by the college for new students when they first enter the school, not to let them go to the wilderness in person, because it is tantamount to seeking human life.
The test items are also very simple, running, doing sports, and then there are special instructors responsible for briefly introducing some commonly used rune props, as well as popularizing the difficulties and dangers of survival in the wild.
It's like an otherworldly version of military training!
The purpose of this is to deepen the understanding of the wilderness and the whole world of these children who are not deeply involved in the world, so that they can understand that this world is not a cradle under the protection of the family, but a cruel gladiatorial arena full of deceit!
And Leping, as the external instructor of that year, received a meager salary, not only responsible for the safety of the students, but also to complete the tasks of the college in accordance with the course guidance process.
Of course, Leping didn't think that such a test had any substantive significance, but this was not something he should consider.
The instructor is just his part-time job, and it is the adjustment of life after every tiger escape.
Only by staying with these living young beings, looking at their innocent smiling faces, can he truly feel that he is a living person, not a pile of rotting walking corpses.
In his opinion, if you really want to experience the cruelty of the wilderness, you should not rely too much on the help of others...... Even if this person is your father.
He prefers the children to call him brother than the title of mentor, and Leping is indeed not much older than them.
Sometimes even he forgets that he is less than thirty ......
And the ear is his first class of students......
……
It only took less than two hours for Leping and the two to come to the wooden house where they had stayed before.
But the scene in front of him shocked him, and his eyes widened as if he had seen something terrible.
The wooden house has completely collapsed, and there are still deep claw prints of demon beasts on the fragmented wooden boards, and there is blood everywhere, which is simply miserable!
The ruins were covered with splatters of blood and bloody bones, and a smell so thick that it was almost disgusting, and the cruelty and gore of the wilderness were completely exposed!
In the distance, a bloodied demon wolf was staring at the scarlet beast pupils, bowing its head and gnawing on the bones on the ground!
A few screams could still be heard one after another, but the sound was extremely faint, sounding like it was on the verge of death, accompanied by the wolf howl and the sound of bones shattering.
The demon wolf is the most common scavenger in the wilderness, and it is also the most dangerous group monster!
The demon wolf does not refer to a kind of demon beast, but the common name of all wolf demon beasts, there are local demon wolves in various places, some are drought-tolerant, some are bloodthirsty, some have strong self-healing ability, and some are good at telekinesis illusion......
If you start a head-on battle, the wolves are much easier to deal with than the sandworm swarm, after all, cold weapons and most offensive runes will have a good effect on them, plus their individual size makes them easier to spot and target.
But wolves don't run around aimlessly like sandworms, and the vast majority of wolves are not low-spirited, they will stalk their prey, and they will look for opportunities......
Through close and tacit cooperation, a wolf pack can often defeat monsters that are much stronger than them, and even wipe out an entire army!
Teams that have been attacked by wolves rarely have survivors, as the greedy wolves will bite off every piece of meat on their target's body, and even if they can't finish eating, they will find a hidden place to bury it......
……
Le Ping looked at the tragic situation in front of him solemnly, and Bai Ding was even more frightened and his legs went weak.
The mercenaries, who had been in the same room with them before, were devoured by wolves in just two days and died......
When Leping rushed into the ruins, several demon wolves who were gnawing glanced at him with scarlet beast pupils, their gloomy fangs were covered with traces of minced meat, and the blood of humans flowed down with their own saliva, domineering!
But Leping didn't seem to see them, just rummaging through for something.
The demon wolves looked at Leping for a while, and surprisingly did not come forward to attack, but let out a low howl, turned around and left.
They found that the human might not be easy to mess with.
This is the characteristic of high-spirit intelligent demon beasts, when they are full, they generally do not take the risk to actively attack other creatures.
In contrast, they are more judgmental than sandworms, and every individual of the population is precious, and they minimize fearless losses when they are not necessary.
Of course, the premise is that they are full, and in fact, most of the time, they have a hard time getting enough.
"You stand there and don't move!" Leping turned his head and said to Bai Ding.
After saying that, he rummaged through it again, but he didn't really want to find it himself.
You can't die! At least not to die here!
Million...... Don't let the worst happen......
……
Finally, he rummaged through the ruins, and every plank was carefully examined, and there was no corpse in the ear......
There is a clear difference between the bones of women and men, and the bones here are all men, which means that the ears may not have returned!
There is hope without seeing the body......
Leping comforted himself like this.
Just as he turned around to leave, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Bai Ding, his eyes suddenly contracted, and he stared closely at a bloody pendant in his hand......
Bai Ding was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Leping rushed up, snatched the pendant, held it in his hand, and just glanced at it, Leping began to tremble as if he had been drained of the strength on his body!
Yes! It's hers!
When Leping was a part-time instructor, he had seen the same pendant with his own eyes...... This is a customized student voucher for each student at that academy, and students can come and go freely with it......
Such an important thing, she must have carried it with her, so ......
Leping suddenly thought of one of the most terrifying possibilities!
……
Just when his heart was like ashes, he suddenly heard a surprise cry: "Mentor Leping, why are you here?" ”
