Chapter 3: The Winter Wolf
Putting away the remaining two coins, Alec walked down the street and had breakfast at a fast-food restaurant before returning to the hut.
At this time, the four people in the hut had been awake for a long time, and unexpectedly, there was one more person in the hut, a tall and beautiful girl. As soon as Alec appeared, the girl greeted him very warmly, and asked with a little reproach: "Honey, you didn't pick me up at the station, where did you go early in the morning?" ”
Alec's body stiffened.
“……”
Alec's silence made the girl a little dissatisfied, she took two steps forward and asked cautiously, "Alec, what's wrong, why are you stunned?!" ”
Alec was sweating profusely, but he still didn't say a word - he didn't even know the name of the girl in front of him, and he had to reveal it when he opened his mouth.
"You...... You can't be sorry for me, right? ”
"No ......"
"Really?"
"Not really, I don't believe you asked them!"
The girl looked at the four people in the hut with suspicion on her face, and a tall boy stood up and said, "Anna, don't be careful, Alec was with us all day yesterday, how can you go out and mess with flowers?" Besides, you also know his character, a dead otaku, he usually doesn't even enter the bar, how can he go out and fool around? ”
It turned out that the girl's name was Anna.
Alec breathed a sigh of relief, and now he at least knew more than before...... The name of his girlfriend (suspected).
The suspicion on Anna's face was mostly gone.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about that. Aren't we going camping today? Anna, how are things ready? ”
"I've brought it all."
"Let's go, let's go now!"
A group of people rushed out of the hut in a hurry, and a sixty percent new off-road vehicle stopped at the door, which was Anna's car.
Alec's town is not wealthy, and as a local of the town, it is not easy to buy a car. Of the six people in the same group, only Anna has a car, and the camping tools are also purchased by her, from these subtle places, it can be seen that Anna's family conditions are good, and she occupies an important position in this small team of six.
The car quickly drove out of the town, and in the snow and ice, everyone soon came to a small river.
This is the place for camping.
The river was frozen, so they set up their tents in the open space by the river and skated on the frozen river.
Alec silently lit a fire by the river, he hated water, and he hated ice and snow even more, it was the nature of the fire spirits. In this environment, his strength would be greatly suppressed, and the strength of the ten layers would be exerted at most four layers, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Alec, don't be stupid there, come and have a snowball fight!"
Anna screamed on the river, but Alec looked disinterested, refusing to leave the campfire.
The fire gave him a sense of security, and the ice and snow made him feel fear. The devil is not entirely dependent on fire, and powers such as shadows can also be controlled by the devil. But Alec was once a fire spirit, for whom fire is everything, and ice and snow represent death. In addition to this, Alec also found the footprints of the beast on the ground, and if he read it correctly, it must be the footprints of the wolf, which made him even more afraid to leave the campfire.
Wolves, but they are social animals.
In winter, wolves can find little food, and hungry wolves are likely to take risks to attack humans.
……
Anna and the others played until noon before returning to the camp.
Alec subconsciously kept his distance from her, which made Anna very dissatisfied, and the careless girl did not know that the man in front of her was no longer her familiar lover, but a fire spirit from hell.
It was noon, and everyone was preparing lunch, Anna set up the grill, then put the meat skewers and vegetables on top, and sprinkled with various sauces, and soon the enticing aroma wafted far away. Alec controlled the flame without a trace, and roasted the barbecue crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so that everyone ate with their mouths full of oil and their mouths were addicted.
Just then, there was a strange noise in the woods.
Startled, Alec grabbed his shotgun and aimed warily at the bushes.
A ragged man emerged from the woods, made a gesture of surrender, and explained with an embarrassed face, "Hey, relax, I'm just passing by." ”
Anna and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Out of caution, Alec threw a [Probe] at the man, this ordinary detection spell can exert a very considerable effect under the amplification of the ring, and it is difficult for even ordinary high-level devils to conceal personal information.
The man's personal message surprised Alec.
"Name: Unknown

Special: Edelman Alloy Skeleton, Edelman Alloy Claw. ”
Edelman Alloys ...... This beggar-looking man is actually Wolverine?!
How did he end up here?
Knowing Logan's identity, Alec was a lot more polite, he put down his shotgun and asked, "Sir, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"I saw you camping, so I wanted to warn you that there are wolves around here, and you'd better leave."
Anna and the others were shocked.
Alec looked thoughtfully at the roast above the campfire.
Rogan is attracted to the aroma of roasted meat, and so are the wolves.
Alec's heart gradually retreated, with his current state, it was difficult to deal with the wolves, the ice and snow weather almost abolished his ability to control the flames, and without the support of the flames, the fire spirit's combat power was not one in ten.
The boy who was traveling with him thought for a moment and said, "Anna, pack your things, and we'll leave immediately." ”
Anna was still hesitating, and Alec suddenly looked up into the distance, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, it's too late." ”
Several winter wolves appeared not far away.
Everyone was shocked and did not dare to continue to clean up, but gathered around the campfire.
Alec was hesitant, for him, it was smartest to walk away. But Logan's appearance made him change his mind, and he was considering whether to reveal some of his strength and then infiltrate the X-Men as a mutant. There were several advantages to doing so, one was to have a group of powerful allies, and the other was to make it easier for him to collect souls, but there was a certain risk in doing so, he didn't know if he could hide from Professor Charles's detection, and that powerful psychic ability made him very jealous.
The Winter Wolf slowly approached.
Alec secretly held a soul coin, the patterns on the silver coin began to blur, and the light blue soul energy slowly overflowed.
A winter wolf pounced, and Logan finally stretched out his claws, and the sharp Erdman alloy claws slashed at the winter wolf's head, cutting off the wolf's head neatly, and scarlet wolf blood spurted far away.
Anna and the others turned pale and exclaimed in a low voice: "Mutants?!" ”
