Outside the bushes was a gravel shoal, and a small stream flowed slowly through it, which was probably what the hunting party called Honey Creek. Mu Yan looked around and found that the shallows were surrounded by dense bushes, and from the direction he was, he couldn't see anything in the woods on the other side at all.

However, their target was not in the woods, Mu Yan looked at the edge of the shoal, a broken corpse lay there quietly, the corpse was covered with gnawing marks, the blood had long since dried up, the flesh on the stomach had been gnawed clean, even the two hind legs were nowhere to be found, and the only one that was still intact allowed everyone to identify that this was the corpse of a wildebeest.

Cora looked closely, gestured like Bell, signaled that she wanted to take a closer look, asked Bell to wait for him here, and then took Mu Yan all the way to the side of the corpse cautiously.

As the team's master hunter, Cora is far more familiar with all kinds of animal carcasses than everyone else, and even Bell has to listen to him when it comes to surveying carcasses for prey.

After so many years of tacit understanding, of course, Bell knew what Cora meant, and did not go out, but continued to hide in the bushes, carrying a shotgun, constantly scanning the forest on the other side of the river.

"I should have been attacked by wolves while drinking water" Walking to the mutilated wildebeest carcass, Cora crouched down and touched the mutilated pieces of flesh at the edges, as if talking to herself, as if she was talking to Mu Yan.

Mu Yan ignored him, observing the wounds on the wildebeest's corpse, he always felt that something was wrong.

Cora pulled out a dagger from her thigh, found a place that was still relatively intact, cut the black skin of the wildebeest, stabbed it into it with the dagger, took out a piece of shredded meat from it, skillfully put it in her mouth and chewed it, then frowned and spit it out, and said, "The time of the attack is in the morning, probably when we set off." ”

This move directly stunned Mu Yan next to him, this Nima can still judge the time of death by eating the meat on the corpse, can't you see it by turning over the corpse, this also has to taste the meat! If someone dies after that, it will have to ......

Mu Yan shuddered suddenly, don't learn! This trick must not be learned!

Cora ignored Xiao Jiujiu in Mu Yan's heart, looked around the corpse, and found several more footprints.

"Judging from the footprints, the number of wolves besieging is only about 15 to 20, which is just a small wolf pack!"

"But why didn't they finish it?" Cora was confused.

This area is a hunting area for wolves, and they don't have to worry about anything to eat here, and judging by the number of wolves, the meat of a wildebeest is completely fine, but why do they only eat half of it?

Something threatens them?

Cora shook her head, it looked more like the wolves had only eaten half of the corpse and left suddenly, and when they left, they had the leisure to tear off two legs to pack and take away, obviously there was nothing threatening them.

It wasn't forced to leave, it could only be voluntarily, Cora frowned.

Could it be that they were summoned?

Suddenly thinking of this possibility, Cora's face suddenly changed, and she could make these hungry wolves who were eating give up the fragrant food in front of them, what level of wolf must be able to send such a summon?

Shadow wolf?

No, no, no! Even the shadow wolf can't make such a strong call!

And more advanced than the Shadow Wolf......

"Could it be a werewolf?!" Cora couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "How could that creature appear in such a place?" ”

Mu Yan sensed Cora's gaffe and keenly grasped the key word "werewolf"! Hearing these two words, his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

I mentioned werewolves when I listened to Cora tell the history of the Shadow Forest before, and Korra originally planned to mention it, but Mu Yan learned about the existence of this fantasy creature for the first time, and where was he willing to let Korra go, so he pestered Korra to give him a detailed description of the appearance and strength of the werewolf.

According to Cora, the appearance of a werewolf is to double the size of Dicker, the strongest person in their hunting team, and then cover it with wolf hair, change its fingers to sharp claws, and put a wolf head on its head, and it is a werewolf. I remember that Dicker, who was still heard after he finished speaking, gave him a rifle butt on his head from behind, which made Mu Yan remember it vividly.

However, when mentioning the strength of the werewolf, Cora did not describe it directly, because he had never fought with the werewolf, but he mentioned something to Mu Yan, which made Mu Yan's heart cold.

That's what Cora told Mu Yan.

"The strength of the werewolf, I don't know the specifics, but I know one thing, our predecessor, the predecessor, and the previous hunter leader (the head of all the hunters, Bell is just a squad leader), all died at the hands of the werewolf!"

Although according to Cora, the one who can kill the hunter leader is also one of the strongest among werewolves, and ordinary werewolves are also at the level of hunter captain.

But that's also a one-on-one situation, when is the werewolf dispatched not hundreds of wolves to guard?

Werewolves evolved from wolves, but this probability is surprisingly small, and the wolves in the entire Shadow Mountain Range have only evolved hundreds of werewolves.

They usually stay in the werewolf's own area, and rarely come out until the hunting season, let alone appear in this kind of place close to the hunting area of humans and wild boarmen.

So if there are really werewolves nearby, it can only be said that the luck of the hunting team is really too bad!

Mu Yan and Cora quickly withdrew to the bushes where Bell was staying.

Seeing Bell, Cora asked Mu Yan to go back first, he wanted to stay and tell Bell about the results of the investigation just now and his conjectures, whether to return the same way and head towards the boar man camp or gamble and move on, this matter must be decided as soon as possible, this matter is related to the lives of the eight people in the hunting team!

The disadvantages of going to the camp of the wild boar people are actually obvious, the people of the hunting team are not familiar with this area, although with their rich experience, they will not get lost, but God knows what is on the road, I don't know if there will be a few more shadow wolf dens as before, or bear nests or something, or it is also very likely that there will be a few monster dens directly across the side, in this case, they are no different from going to die.

However, the pros and cons of betting on whether there are werewolves in front of them are also very clear, if there are no werewolves in front, even if there are a few wolves, they can find a way to rush over, and when they rush through this area, the river surface of Honey Creek will become much wider, and the water level will be much deeper, they can make a raft and spend a long time on the water for a long period of safety!

However, no matter what, you are afraid of but, but if there is really a werewolf in front of you, then they will bump into it head-on, and it will really be the end of the game, and there is no chance of survival at all.

Bell now probably feels that this choice is very difficult, both paths are the rhythm of the team as long as the luck is a little bad, and there is no better way to say.

It would take at least a few days to get to the boarman's camp, and he didn't believe that there would be nothing on the road.

And continuing to move forward, he really didn't dare to bet, once there was really a werewolf, it would definitely be a dead one.

What to do? Bell was torn.

On the other side, Mu Yan returned to the team, and everyone was very curious about what was happening in front of him, and they asked him what was in front of him.

Mu Yan originally had nothing to hide, but thinking that Cora would break him up early, he definitely didn't want to let everyone in the hunting team know that there might be werewolves too early.

So he only told Cora about the corpse, but didn't say anything about the werewolves.

Everyone was a little unimpressed when they heard the news that there might be a small wolf pack ahead, and they all walked to this place, and it was really strange that they didn't meet anything.

Even if there is a small wolf pack, it is not a threat to them at all, but because this hunting area is already occupied by this group of wolves, they will avoid the danger of encountering a larger wolf pack.

Mu Yan saw that everyone was suddenly out of interest, and he didn't say anything, sitting cross-legged on the side and reminiscing about the things handed to him on Kola Road.

……

By the time Cora returned, Mu Yan had already begun to make the herbs that he hadn't finished before.

Mu Yan saw Cora walk to his side, stopped what he was doing, and looked at him with an inquiring gaze.

Shaking her head, Cora didn't say anything.

Bell, who was following him, called the three of them away and went to the side to talk to them secretly.

As they spoke, the faces of the three of them began to look ugly, and they obviously knew that there might be a werewolf in front of them.

The other two, Dicker and Parr, also saw that things were unusual, but they didn't ask much, they naturally knew what they should know, and they didn't ask anything if they shouldn't, and they still had a lot of confidence in Bell.

After waiting for a while, the conversation on Bell's side finally ended, and the three people who were called all nodded, and then left quickly in three directions.

Seeing this scene, Mu Yan immediately knew that Bell was probably unable to make up his mind, so he continued to send people to the front to investigate the situation, and then decided to move forward or retreat when he knew the situation.

Obviously, he would rather waste his precious time on this than regret it for the rest of his life because of his recklessness! If there is still the rest of my life by then.

In fact, at this time, Mu Yan really wanted to go up and tell Bell not to hesitate to go to the wild boar man camp! No matter how hard you struggle now, you're going to go when the time comes, why? Of course, because this is the world of the "three little pigs", the wolves have appeared, will the pigs be far away?

But obviously this won't work, not to mention the age and identity of this body, when the time comes, Mu Yan can't answer it.

The remaining five people in the temporary camp were resting in place, and Bell also told Dicker and Parr about the werewolf at this time, but at this time, the probability of the werewolf appearing had become "unlikely", and I didn't want to give them too much psychological burden.

After the lecture, the camp fell silent, and everyone was quietly thinking about their own business.

What made Mu Yan happier was that during this time, Cora actually took the initiative to hand over how he used the knife! It is estimated that he thought that the next situation would be more dangerous, so he wanted him to have some self-preservation.

Originally, at this time, learning a gun would be more practical than learning to use a knife, but Cora still insisted on letting him learn a knife, Mu Yan also asked him why, Cora told him two reasons,

One is that Cora's own marksmanship is really not good, and he has no experience in this area, and among the few remaining members of the hunting team, Tander, who is the best at using guns, is now frowning and pondering something, and Cora is not good to disturb him at this time.

The second is that Yi Muyan's shotgun is really useless in the next operation, this kind of thing hits the wolf, unless you hit the vital point, otherwise you have to shoot six or seven shots, and it is estimated that you can kill a wolf.

Although melee combat is more dangerous, if you can use a knife skillfully, the chances of survival are unintentionally much greater.

Mu Yan pulled out a short knife from his waist and followed Korabi.

At this point in time, Cora only brushed aside the basics, but instead taught a very focused point, teaching Mu Yan the knife technique aimed at the key points of the wolf, and then combined with a few dodge and attack skills to deal with the wolves that pounced, Mu Yan felt that as long as he could learn it, it would be almost no problem to kill ordinary wolves when the time came.

……

As time passed, Frio and Grimo returned to the makeshift camp one after another, bringing a few not-so-bad news to the group.

They all observed traces of wolf activity in their respective directions, and the scale was medium-sized, but fortunately, no trace of werewolves was found, so everyone didn't have to worry too much.

Now only Xander has not returned, and both Frio and Grimo have stepped aside and waited patiently.

However, a quarter of an hour passed, and Sander still did not return, and the hearts of the people began to become more and more uneasy.

Even Cora, who was teaching Mu Yan, began to turn her head frequently to look at Honey Creek, which was the direction where Sander had left!

Time passed little by little, and just when Mu Yan couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere and began to pay attention to the side of Mixi,

An embarrassed figure suddenly burst out of the bushes by the stream!

That's not who Sander is!

Although he looked embarrassed, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw him safe and sound.

However, before they could finish their breath, they immediately noticed that Sander's expression was not quite right!

Could it be that there really is a werewolf ahead?

At this time, Xander also saw the people in the forest.

The moment he saw everyone, he opened his mouth and shouted a word!

"Run!"

"Whew!!"

A desolate wolf howl resounded through the forest! The nearby animals fled back to their nests in panic, hiding in their nests and shivering! All living beings felt the antiquity and wildness contained in this long roar at this moment! This is the call of the werewolves! It's a werewolf's roar!
