Chapter 1496: Brave New World (14)
A half-human, half-wolf monster appears in front of Arthur. He had sharp claws and fangs, silver-white fur like steel needles, blood-red eyes, strong chest muscles, and a slender body.
Roar, roar, ah!——, ah
Under the moonlight, the monster was so excited that it roared at Arthur, the sound almost bursting the boy's eardrums.
He approached Arthur with his teeth and claws, his mouth spitting a mist red with firelight, and he seemed to be about to launch a merciless attack on Arthur!
However, the boy frowned, and was not in danger. From everything he had seen before, he instantly deduced what had happened, and asked the monster with a long face, "Bedi-Vi-er, don't-play-——!"
The monster was stunned for a moment.
Then he put away his fierce and vicious look, and looked discouraged: "Meow." Arthur, how did you recognize me in an instant! I can't even scare you, it's so boring!"
A green veil emerged from Arthur's forehead, and he glared at the monster fiercely: "It's been this time, you kid is still playing this game with me! Do you think you can really fool me? Your wolf look has already betrayed you!"
The monster tilted its head: "You recognize me based on this alone?"
"I wasn't sure at first, but I could have guessed who you were when you became like this. Arthur glared at the lower half of Bediwell's body: "Well, the size hasn't changed either." Even if the times change, some things still won't change? "
"Oh!" the monster cried out with a laugh, subconsciously reaching out its claws to cover its crotch.
"What are you thinking? I'm talking about that wormhole in your navel. The young man shook his head angrily, and at the same time took off his shirt: "At least cover it with this, you don't have to care about your image, I still feel uncomfortable looking at it." "
"Is it necessary?" the half-wolf, half-human monster scratched its head, "I thought the hairs were long enough to cover everything."
"Obviously not enough!" the boy complained.
A few minutes later.
Bediwell wrapped Arthur's long-sleeved shirt around his waist, slightly covering the important parts. Arthur turned his head at this time and asked, "Okay?"
"Hmm~ As long as you don't run too hard, you shouldn't run out," the half-wolf-half-human monster grinned.
"So, what has become of you, boy?" the boy looked the monster up and down reassuringly. Bediwell seemed to have become something somewhere between orcs and monsters, and he looked more savage than the original werewolf youth, much stronger, and more wild.
"I believe it's some kind of demon. Bedeville puffed his muscular chest and said, "In this world they should be called [human wolves]." "
"Aren't we werewolves?"
"No, the werewolves or orcs of our original world are all creatures that the ancient gods and people used human genes as the blueprint and the genes of wild beasts to finally transform into creatures. The essence of orcs is also [human], so the nature is also a little closer to that of humans. Bedeville sat in front of the campfire and muttered, "But the man-wolf is completely different. I don't know exactly where this demon called [human wolf] came from, but [human wolf] is essentially a beast, and usually only exists in the form of a wolf, and only becomes like this on moonlit nights. "
"So you lie in the cave for a while and don't talk to me, and you don't speak until nightfall, just to scare me?" Arthur then gave Bediwell a fierce look: "Your boy's taste is really flattering." "
"No, I can't speak during the day!!" Bediwell explained, innocently incried, "At that time, even if I wanted to speak, all I could do was let out a whining wolf howl. I knew it was useless to say anything to you in that state, so I waited until the evening!"
"I see. Arthur thought to himself, touching his chin. That's why the big silver wolf just lay there slowly and lazily all day? This is a clever way to avoid provoking Arthur and having to fight, and to deter Arthur from escaping from the cave or doing anything he regrets.
"So you actually recognized me from the beginning? at least from last night's attack?"
"Of course. The man-wolf youth grinned, though his grin was actually quite terrifying now: "You have already alarmed my clan when you fought in the woods. I went with my men to investigate the situation, but I saw Arthur, you are besieged by a group of thieves. At first, I thought you were just an ordinary imp with a little bit of swordsmanship, but when I saw you draw your lightsaber and fight off your opponent with such subtle swordsmanship, I immediately recognized you. But I can't go over and save you right away, my family are all wild beasts, they are not as peaceful as you think, and it is very difficult to control their attack without hurting you at all. "
It's a small world. Merlin was right, as long as Arthur and Bedwell were connected by fate (Kama), they would meet again in this otherworld, albeit in a very strange form.
"That's why you've been lying in ambush in the dark, waiting for the best time to strike. Arthur continued to think about it, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but shiver all over his body: "Anyway, Bedi, what happened to me after I fainted last night?
"Yes, I managed to control the scene last night so that my family members could retreat. They almost tore you apart. The wolf replied, "But it will be easy to bring you back, for my family members are afraid to come into this cave, so I can help you heal with peace of mind." "
Arthur frowned, "What about the girl who fled to the tree?
"I don't know. Bediwell said irresponsibly, "Isn't that little imp just an ordinary civilian? I'm already busy just getting you back, and how can I have time to take care of a little girl in a tree?"
Arthur was shocked: "What? You actually left her at the scene of the incident?!"
"Looks like she's out of danger too, and my clan isn't going to climb up the trees to attack her," the man-wolf shrugged, "So, why not?"
More green tendons popped up from Arthur's forehead: "How can you do this." "
He stood up from the boulder he was making, "Bedi, go out with me, I'm going to make sure the little girl gets out of there alive." I decided to save her, and since it's already started, I can't give up halfway. "
"Just for a civilian imp you've never met? Arthur, are you?"
"Whew, do you want to come along!" the boy breathed, and the wound on his arm began to throb again.
"There's really nothing I can do with you" Bediwell shrugged helplessly, transforming from a huge humanoid monster back into a big silver wolf: "Just go over and take a look, you can really only look at it." After that, you have to come back and stay honest and heal the wound. "
"I don't need your reminder. Arthur jumped on the back of the big silver wolf: "Let's go." "
"Ugh. Can I take off the cloth on my crotch first? It's uncomfortable to wear. "After the big silver wolf became a wolf, he was not used to wearing clothes.
"No, you naked. Arthur indifferently vetoed: "Next, we are going to see a lady, how can we be rude to her." "
"Hmph. The big silver wolf snorted and galloped out.
Late at night, in the dense forest, the silver wolf shadow shuttles through the shade of the trees. Bediwell seemed to have been in the woods for some time, and he knew the woods inside out, and he was comfortable running. It is no exaggeration to say that this grove is the back garden of Bediwell's house.
Following his memories and the smell of blood wafting through the air, he effortlessly found the battlefield of last night.
"Is this the place?" Arthur instantly recognized the place when he saw the broken weapons and the burned carriage. However, the strange thing is that the corpses that died here yesterday are now not even the slightest remains left, leaving only pools of blood. The girl who had hid in the tree last night was now nowhere to be seen.
Of course, it's been a whole day, and it's strange that she's still in this place. Did she run away on her own? Alone to a safe place?
"Don't tell me, it was your family who dragged the corpses away and gnawed them all?" Arthur asked curiously.
"How is it possible, Arthur, don't you understand the habits of wolves?" said Bedeville, grinning, "They are wild beasts, and they are picky eaters when they are well fed. They will eat only the limbs, chest, and back of their prey, and they will not touch the filthy entrails unless they are hungry. If the scene hadn't been cleaned, it would still be full of corpses, leaving only the guts and bones that were beginning to decompose. "
"And yet it's so clean," Arthur squinted and continued to look around him, but the more he looked, the more he didn't understand: "What the hell is going on—"
"The only possibility is that the vampires have been here. Bediwell chimed in.
"Wait, vampires, do you mean the undead species that only appear in horror novels?" Arthur couldn't help but look disdainful, "Don't be stupid. That kind of thing can't appear in reality, they're completely fictional creatures of fiction. It's hard to understand that you think that a bunch of monsters who live by sucking the blood of others can live forever, and that they are afraid of the sun and garlic?
"Ahem Arthur, do you need me to remind you? You're sitting on the back of a man-wolf right now. The big silver wolf then coughed dryly: "Since there is a special demon race like [human wolf] in this different world, is it very unusual to have vampires? Maybe they are different from the vampires you see in TV novels, but the experience of this world tells me that these vampires do exist." "
So, Arthur was silent for a moment, unable to refute it.
