Chapter 74: Werewolves
Li Quan was sure that what he heard was a wolf howl.
Are there wolves in the Silver Pine Forest? It seems that there really is. But...... There is another possibility.
To say that in the land of the Silver Pine Forest, in addition to the undead race, there is actually the main city of another race here. That's the werewolf city of Gilneth.
Gilneth was once one of the Seven Kingdoms, but after the Second War of Man and Beast, he voluntarily abandoned a large part of the Silverpine Forest at that time, and built the Wall of Greymane by the sea, and never asked about the world again.
It wasn't until many years later, when the Black Dragon Princess's father, Deathwing, brought about a cataclysm and the Wall of Greymane, which had stood for many years, collapsed, that the outside world saw the Gilneys again. But by this time, people found that the people of Gilneth had become monsters.
Under the influence of a curse known as werewolves, the Gilneys have become a kind of half-human, half-wolf werewolves. Perhaps that's why they suddenly closed themselves off as soon as the Second Human-Beast War ended. Later, the werewolves were accepted by King Varian of Stormwind and made them join the Alliance. Of course, that's all for later.
At this moment, Li Quan judged according to the development of the plot that since the cataclysm had not yet happened, and it was in the early stage of World of Warcraft, then the werewolf should not have appeared yet.
However, just because most people have never seen a werewolf doesn't mean they don't exist. Kanressad said that there was a werewolf warlock named Zening in the Council of the Six Daggers.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right? I heard that this werewolf is also here now. Li Quan's thoughts were like electricity, and he thought of a lot in a short period of time.
The howl of the wolf grew closer and clearer.
Li Quan heard more than a wolf howl, but one howl after another, which showed that there was a problem, not just a wolf, or a werewolf.
After a little consideration, Li Quan let the five imps hide nearby first, leaving only two Void Walkers to follow him. He can summon a large group of demons now, but Li Quan doesn't plan to show off the market, and if he hides his strength appropriately, he will often get good results by surprise. This is all the experience of the predecessors in the novel.
Then, Li Quan, who was blessed with plant essence and alchemy potion, lit a bonfire by himself, took out frozen fresh meat skewers from the storage space, and sat down to play a wild barbecue.
The wolf howls became more and more frequent, and the smoke from the fire was apparently spotted by them. Li Quan heard these voices and quickly approached him.
There was a rustling sound from the withered grass, and suddenly, a werewolf burst out of the grass and rushed towards Li Quan.
Immediately after, a group of werewolves sprang out of the grass one after another.
After these werewolves appeared, they quickly surrounded the fire, and surrounded the werewolf who appeared first in the middle with Li Quan.
Li Quan was still sitting there, looking around and taking a rough look, he couldn't help but be surprised. There were as many as twenty werewolves surrounding him!
I saw that these werewolves had fierce and ugly faces, all of them walked upright like humans, they were also wearing human clothes, and they were holding silver weapons in their hands.
Aside from the fact that each of them has a hairy wolf head, and the exposed arms have a hairy skin surface, and they seem to be a bit burlier, these creatures appear to have retained most of their human features.
The werewolves whispered something to each other.
Obviously, these werewolves are intelligent, their minds are normal, and most of them are psychologically distorted like the undead.
The werewolf who appeared first, who was surrounded by other werewolves at this time, seemed to be injured, Li Quan saw him standing not far from him, while vigilantly guarding against this group of werewolves, and at the same time keeping a certain distance from him, also wary of Li Quan. He was drenched in blood on one leg, and Li Quan had long noticed that this werewolf seemed to be in a bad mental state, and he looked like he would faint at any time, and he wanted to lose serious blood. I don't know what happened to him before.
As for the reason why these more than 20 werewolves who should have escaped from the world appeared in the outside world, Li Quan also thought about it: "Gang robbery? Arrest traitors? Or is it an old-fashioned plot of bullying the weak? ”
Li Quan was thinking about it, when the discussion of the group of werewolves on the opposite side seemed to be over, and a werewolf stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "This human warlock, we are the guards of Greymane, and we are ordered to hunt down the traitors who betrayed the people of Gilney. Next to you is the traitor Zening, who has betrayed us. To avoid unnecessary conflict, human warlock, I want you to stand aside and let us bring this traitor back. ”
"I guessed correctly, it's really a traitor." Li Quan said in his heart when he heard this.
Well? Wait a minute...... Zening?
Li Quan looked at the injured werewolf in surprise, and he asked, "Are you Zening?" ”
The werewolf's eyes flickered a few times when he heard this, and he seemed to hesitate, but he looked at the group of werewolves surrounding him again, and then made up his mind to nod and say, "That's right, I'm Zening Smiser." Warlock, since you know me, you should know something about the Council of the Six Daggers? ”
It's true, it's such a coincidence that I met Zening here. Li Quan then nodded.
Seeing this, the werewolf Zening said, "So, how about we make a deal?" You get rid of these guys for me, and I'll report to the council when I get back, and you'll be rewarded handsomely. ”
Looking at Ze Ning's gaze, he had already noticed that Li Quan had actually brought two Void Walkers. A fellow warlock, and one of the most powerful dressed warlocks, Zening certainly knew what it meant to be able to take two demons with him.
Two Voidwalkers and a powerful Warlock, plus him, were enough to deal with this group.
But that's what he hesitated about.
He's not in good shape right now. He may be able to survive in the face of a group of similar people chasing and intercepting him, but in the face of a colleague who can drive two demons, Ze Ning is not completely sure that he can defeat the other party without knowing the specific details of the other party.
His caution was justified. The one who knows the Warlock best is the Warlock. This is a group that will do anything to gain power, and even the six members of the Council of Six Daggers do not trust each other.
Li Quan didn't think it was so complicated.
He was comparing the strengths of the two sides and came to the conclusion that he should be able to handle these people easily.
There are twenty people on the other side, if it is someone else, Li Quan is not willing to poke this hornet's nest, although it stands to reason that he should help Ze Ning. But if things are dangerous enough, Li Quan definitely doesn't mind getting out of the way, and then smearing oil on the soles of his feet as soon as possible.
But...... Werewolf? Wolves are canines.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Quan had no burden.
Hearing Ze Ning's words, Li Quan didn't react, but the werewolves on the other side exploded all of a sudden, and they all became agitated.
The werewolf who spoke before immediately said to Li Quan, "Warlock! Don't meddle! This is an internal matter for Gilneis, and it is up to the Gilnesians themselves to deal with it. Get out of the way, we promise we won't get you in trouble! Otherwise......"
Having said that, the threat and warning are quite obvious.
Li Quan was noncommittal, neither agreeing with Zening, nor did he have the slightest intention of getting out of the way. This made Ze Ning and this group of werewolves a little puzzled by what Li Quan thought.
Li Quan is still observing.
He was sure that these werewolves weren't as strong as they seemed. If they were really unscrupulous, I'm afraid they would have pounced on them a long time ago. From their demeanor and demeanor, Li Quan could see that these guys seemed to be very jealous of the werewolf Zening, and the encirclement they formed did not dare to get too close to Zening.
In addition, both Zening and these werewolves were equally wary of the two Void Walkers standing behind him, obviously knowing how powerful the two Void Walkers were.
Li Quan thought for a moment and asked, "Can I ask, what crime Zening has committed?" ”
"He betrayed Gilneth and had a relationship with the sons of Arugo in Shadowfang Castle. Those are sinners who do all kinds of evil, or we wouldn't have imprisoned them in Shadowfang Castle. The person in front of you, go along with them! The werewolf replied without hesitation.
"Don't listen to him." Zening immediately said angrily, "Don't confuse me with the son of Arugao. This is slander! ”
"Greymane has convicted you." The werewolf said.
"Greymane is mistaken! Just give me a chance and I'll prove it to him! Zening defended himself.
"You won't have this chance......"
"I told you you're looking for the wrong person......
Li Quan listened to the arguments of both sides, and he was not sure who was right. In fact, he had planned for a long time, and no matter how much the two sides said, they couldn't change his mind.
He decided to save Zening.
After all, Zening is a warlock of the Six Daggers Council, and he knows Kanressad. Li Quan has always helped his relatives and did not help them. It doesn't matter what he has done, whether he has something to do with the son of Arugao, Li Quan doesn't care. the birds! He just needs to save Zening, and he still has something he wants to ask Zening about.
"Unfortunately, I can't let you take him." Li Quan finally opened his mouth to make his position clear.
Ze Ning's face suddenly showed a touch of joy when he heard this. It's just that his werewolf face showed a row of fangs when he laughed, which gave Li Quan the feeling of being hideous and more than three points.
The other werewolves were really hideous, and they roared in dissatisfaction after listening to Li Quan's words. The werewolf who spoke spoke with an angry and threatening voice, "Boy! You'll regret it! We won't let you leave the Silver Pines Forest today! ”
Li Quan pursed his lips, sneering at the other party's threatening words, and said in his heart, I will be afraid of you and a bunch of puppies? If you want to fight, then let the horses come!
The three parties were still discussing a moment ago, but now they are already tense. The werewolves let out a low roar of "woo-woo" in their throats, and aimed all the weapons in their hands at Li Quan and Ze Ning, looking like they would attack at any time.
Zening's eyes were gloomy, the wolf's mouth opened and closed, and a sinister green light gradually appeared in his hand.
The two Void Walkers were already in front of Li Quan, and the powerful suction from the Void suddenly surged, causing the surrounding light to suddenly dim, and everyone seemed to fall into the dark night with no fingers in sight.
And no one noticed that in the palm of Li Quan's hand, who was hiding behind the Void Walker, a large handful of black-brown things inexplicably appeared. Until an incomparably tempting aura quickly entered the nostrils of every werewolf present, making the werewolves couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Quan smiled secretly, this trick is really tried and tested.
