It was night, and a lone wolf slowly strolled along the banks of Dragon's Blood Creek. The rattling of the flowing river reflected the broken moonlight. The wolf's eyes were like two dark green lanterns in this light, and the fur on its body trembled gently in the breeze, and it could be seen that it had been well combed, unlike the ordinary wild wolf, the hair on its body was always sloppy and stained. The gray wolf, standing on the protruding stone and looking at the flowing stream, was very focused. At one point, it poked its head out and took a fish out of the water that had not yet reacted, but the slippery scales prevented the wolf's fangs from piercing into the fat underneath it in the first place, and the fish was about to fall back into the water again.

At this moment, the moonlight dimmed, and another wolf jumped up from the other side of the river and bit the fish accurately in the air. However, before it could hit the ground, the gray wolf, which saw that its prey had been robbed, crashed headlong into the latter's body, and the two wolves rolled together on the riverbank. They compete with each other for their only prey, but they don't use their claws or teeth, they just play around. The play ends when the fish are out of the water for too long and die. The two wolves casually ate the dead fish, and then crouched down in the moonlight. Their hair grew shorter in the white light, preferably as if it had completely sunk under the skin, and at the same time, their long palate, which had been full of sharp teeth, flattened out into two lips stained with fish blood. The wolf, just like that, became a man.

It was two wolves that fished, and naturally they turned into two people, a man and a woman. The man got up from the ground and tried to say something, but before he could say anything, the woman pounced on him and licked the blood from his lips with her tongue. For a long time, the lips parted. Jack put his hands on Mona's shoulders to stop the eager female companion from doing other mischievous acts, and he sighed helplessly, "Don't make a fuss, it's time for us to go." ”

Mona tilted her head to look at Jack, after transforming into a wolfwalker, the scars on the female warrior's body had long since disappeared under the strong self-healing ability. Not even to mention the scars, it is because of the various traces left by the wind and snow in the bitter cold land of Longji Mountain, and they have disappeared without a trace. Mona now looked at least three years younger than before, and with her powerful body and the sheer sparkle in her eyes, Jack had to turn his head away to keep himself from losing his mind, even though it had been a while.

The head wolf of the Alexander clan remembered Cheese's conclusion when he diagnosed Mona, that she was too badly injured during the transformation, and that it would normally be impossible to complete the transformation under such a serious injury, but the witch's thorny heart made by magic contributed to the completion of the transformation. As a result, the human part of the body is too weak, and the wild nature as a wolf has prevailed, and for Mona to come to her senses again, she will have to wait until her human part can at least match the wolf nature. This requires the wolfwalkers not to live in isolation, but to contact as many people as possible in order to awaken the memories of female warriors. But even so, the time of recovery is still unknown, and the deadline given by Cheese at that time was three years, and at the latest, Mona would return.

It seems that Jack's reaction is disgusted with himself, Mona's nose makes an aggrieved sound, and the whole person pounces into the arms of the head wolf as if to apologize. This action made Jack at a loss, and he could only push Mona away and look her in the eye, "Cheese, they're waiting, it's time for us to go." So there were a few more tears in his puzzled eyes.

The head wolf was completely out of temper, he sighed, and decided to say it differently, "In this way, let's play a game, I'll run, and you will chase." Speaking of the game, the female warrior immediately burst into tears and nodded. Probably that's what it feels like to raise a child, Jack suddenly thought as he looked at the person in front of him. But there is still something to do, especially since this chase game is not simple, maybe because of the lack of sanity, or because of the gap that existed when she was a human, Mona showed no less level of athleticism than Jack, or even surpassed. If you want to race with all your might, it's really hard to say whether the two of them will win or lose.

So after attracting the attention of his female companion, Jack moved his joints seriously, raised his head to determine the north and south, and took a stance in the direction of Valley City, kicked his hind legs, and the whole person rushed into the bushes like a shadow. Seeing this, Mona just shouted excitedly twice, then bent down and followed with the same speed. The animals that had escaped from the shadows of the nezumi and had finally dared to set foot on the land again were awakened by the game of the two wolfwalkers, who listened in fear to the sound of footsteps from far and near, and then from near to far, unable to tell what was happening.

When the day came, the two gray wolves had already arrived outside the walls of Vale, and Jack turned back into his human form, dug up a piece of floating earth following the markings on the ground, took out the clothes that had been buried in it, and handed one of them to Mona with two shakes of his hand. He sighed appointatively as the latter naturally stretched out his arms and waited, and obediently helped the female warrior to dress up in human attire. The sun dispelled the cold of the night, and also made the vines coiled on the stone bricks flourish. Jack looked up at the vegetated walls, which seemed to be a little shorter than the last time they had seen them, and it wouldn't be long before Valley City would be completely covered in green. However, no one cares about it, after all, the place where the rat people really live now is the underground of the city, which is an underground labyrinth that even the wolfwalkers will not easily set foot in without a guide, and Gloria also asked the opinion of the gray robe when building it. It wasn't a place where any creature accustomed to the wide sky above his head would want to set foot in it, Jack shrugged his shoulders and took Mona's hand and walked towards the city.

Isn't it obvious where to go in the city? The tower, nestled in a ruined building, is known to all nezues and humans as the abode of the gray-robed mage. The party to the Iron Ciep made an appointment to meet under the Cheese Tower. "It's incredible. "Walking in the current valley city with a humanoid pace, Rao is a wolfwalker who can't smell any sulfur with his sense of smell, and it's hard to imagine that this city was filled with a large number of demons not so long ago.

The slight sound of "click" was very slight, but it couldn't hide from Jack and Mona's ears.

"Who's coming out!" Wolfwalker didn't think there would be enemies here, but the unfamiliar smell made him instinctively take a fighting stance.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous... You scare it. With a somewhat reproachful tone, a snow-white spider crawled out of the vine, and the webworm riding on its back gently stroked the fluff on the spider's back, glaring at Jack.

Jack frowned at the sight of the somewhat familiar giant insect, "I thought this thing died with its witch master." ”

The mercenary smirked, "yes, that's dead." But I found the unhatched eggs in its belly! ”

People always have an instinctive fear of snakes, mice, spiders, and the like, which is as indescribable as nature engraved in our genes. Although the warrior can use his anger to offset this discomfort when fighting, seeing such a huge spider in this state at this time, Rao is werewolf is also a little furious in his heart. So Jack wasn't going to answer that question.

"You're here to pick us up?"

The networm didn't say anything more, nodded and pointed in the direction of the tower, "Come on, I'll wait for you." ”
