"I really can't go back?"

From time to time, a bird's cry sounded in the forest, and the dense leaves almost obscured the sky, but there was still a glimmer of light through the gaps between the leaves, shining on the white wolf.

The horns on the top of the unicorn's head were gone, and what had been left of the horns was now a blood hole, and the horns were stuck in the trunk of a tree not far away.

After the unicorn died, the white wolf dug out the horn from its head and tried to break through the web of life with this thing, but it was already obvious that he did not succeed, and it seemed that only a living unicorn could open the way to the web of life.

According to the astrological signs, the current location of the white wolf should be in the north of the continent, where the temperature and climate are different from those in the extreme south, appearing cold and dry, with taller trees and fewer wild animals.

"I had to figure out where I was now. The white wolf found out the most important task for himself at the moment, and then stood up and left, the body of this unicorn was left here, he had no appetite at all now after such a tense confrontation with the elves for a long time.

One thing the white wolf can be sure of, the location of the emirate is in his south, so he should go south now, and he should be in a human country now, if you want to ask for directions, you have to find a human first, as for whether to ask for directions by hijacking or in a friendly way, the white wolf plans to talk about it then.

After walking south for a long time, the sky was slightly bright, and the white wolf finally walked out of the forest, and what appeared in front of him was an open area, not far from the forest, there was a small village, but it was very strange that the fields around the village were completely uncultivated, and only some broken crops were left in it, and the village also looked lifeless, and did not feel a trace of life at all.

A breeze blew from the direction of the village, and the white wolf twitched his nose, and the smell around the village became extremely clear in his mind.

"Someone, no, there have been many people here, there are a lot of horses, and the smell of blood and corpses" The white wolf's nose separated the different smells, according to the information brought by the smell, the white wolf judged that the village should have been looted and slaughtered, but who the looters were, and whether there were any living people in the village, this information needs further investigation to know.

The white wolf did not rush into the village in front of him, but circled along the edge of the forest, observing the village in different directions, and waited patiently for a while.

There was no movement in the village, there was not a sound at all, and the silence was a little scary.

Just in case, the white wolf summoned another strong wind, bringing more scents for analysis, and finally he confirmed that the village had indeed been slaughtered, and the slaughterer on horseback had been gone for a long time, the smell of horses had faded, and there seemed to be no one in the village anymore, and perhaps some survivors.

After confirming that the village was safe, the white wolf no longer hesitated and scurried out of the woods, hoping to find some survivors so that he could figure out where he was and what was going on here.

There really wasn't anyone in the village anymore, corpses could be seen everywhere, in the fields, in the houses, on the stone mills, on the streets, everywhere you could see the hacked villagers, these villagers looked like they had been dead for a while, the corpses had begun to rot, the maggots were burrowing in and out of it, mosquitoes and flies were flying, it looked disgusting, only goblins would be interested in these things.

"Almost all of them are men, where have they gone without a few women and women?" The white wolf identified many corpses, and found that the ratio of men and women was very unbalanced, he only saw the corpses of some middle-aged and elderly women, or older women, as for the corpses of slightly younger women, there was not one, could it be that these robbers not only killed people, but also robbed people?

"No one buries the corpse and doesn't burn it, so I'm afraid that there will be a plague in the future," the white wolf frowned, but despite this, he had no intention of helping others deal with the aftermath.

The warehouses in the village had been emptied, the houses of the inhabitants had been looted, and many signs of horses' hooves could be seen in the streets, and it seemed that the looters had indeed arrived on horseback.

"What is this?" As the white wolf opened one of the doors, he saw a half-man-tall lump of brown clay, the bottom half of which was stuck in the dirt, and the top half leaned against the corner of the wall, emitting a strong stench that looked like a giant piece of dung.

The stench on this thing made the white wolf not want to stay for a moment, but the drastic change of events forced him to stay here, and the clay block suddenly shattered, and a white, human-like and non-human, slimy-covered creature popped out of it.

"Ghouls?!" the white wolf recognized the creature in front of him, Alyssa had introduced him to some dangerous creatures common in other worlds, including ghouls, but this was the first time the white wolf had seen such a creature.

Ghouls are oviparous creatures, the smelly thing just now should be ghoul eggs, they feed on the corpses of various creatures, these guys have mouthparts that can change freely, and they can eat all the corpses, no one in this world can figure out where the ghouls come from, there is a saying that these monsters are mutated from human corpses, so they have some human characteristics to some extent.

When the ghoul saw the white wolf, he immediately let out a shrill cry, which attracted another group of ghouls, who had just stayed on the beams of the house, with blood all over their mouths, and looked like they had just eaten.

As soon as the white wolf raised his hand, a ball of flame erupted in front of his paws, and with a flick of the side, it turned into a fiery snake and burned towards the ghouls who pounced.

The fire snake is an area of effect, and although the ghouls feel the heat and try their best to dodge, they still can't escape the range of the flames, and they are instantly ignited, howling and running around, clutching the windows to get out of the house, but being cut in half by the wind blade that follows them.

"It's disgusting, but it's weak. "The white wolf commented on the ghouls, these guys were so well restrained by the flames that they were not a threat to the white wolf.

After clearing the ghoul den, the white wolf turned to leave, he felt that he should be careful, there were so many corpses here, there should be more than one ghoul lair, but on the other hand, the presence of so many ghouls here also meant that the chances of no one trying to find a survivor here were smaller.

After walking around the village and cleaning up three more ghoul dens, the white wolf felt that he had searched all the houses, but found no trace of the survivors, so he had to give up.

There are now two paths in front of the white wolf, one is to follow the horse's footsteps and maybe there will be some gains, and the other is to continue south, with a general sense of direction to find the emirate.

Just as the white wolf hesitated, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the entrance of the village, and he immediately dodged away from the central street and hid in the shadows.

"Master, are we really going in? it is evident that this place has been slaughtered by robbers," a slight female voice trembled, reaching the ears of the white wolf.

Is it a robber? The white wolf couldn't help but look at the corpses around him, the wounds of these corpses were very deep, even the bones were cut off with a knife, they should have been cut out with a very sharp weapon, would the robbers have such a good weapon?

"No, I don't think it's a robber. Another male voice rang out.

"Not a robber?

"There are too many horseshoe prints here, and I don't think such a powerful gang of bandits will suddenly pop up in the core of the empire. The man analyzed that he and the white wolf had different perspectives, but they came to the same conclusion.

"What do you mean, master?" said the woman, "How is this possible?" the woman understood.

"Dory, you probably don't know, our human lord is different from the leader of your cat people, and it is really common for some interests to kill your compatriots," the man sighed.

When the woman heard the man's words, she seemed to remember something, and immediately fell silent and stopped speaking.

The white wolf got this information from the words of the two of them, he should now be in the human country in the north of the emirate, in the territory of the Elfet Empire, and his village seems to have been slaughtered by a lord for some reason, and a man and a woman who just arrived here, the man is a human, and the woman is actually a cat person? How can the cat people of the Ten Thousand Souls race get mixed with humans? The white wolf didn't understand what the situation was.

"Dolly, this is not right, someone has been here before us and cleared out the ghouls here. The man walked into the place where the white wolf had just burned the ghoul, and immediately noticed the traces of the battle just now.

Catwoman heard the man's voice and went into the house as well, checking it around.

"Having single-handedly eliminated five ghouls, this is definitely a powerful wizard!" the woman exclaimed.

"No, in my opinion, this may not have been done by a wizard, you see these several ghouls, they were all burned to death by flames, and this one was cut off by some kind of wind elemental spell, do you think that if there is only one wizard, it is possible to activate so many elemental magic in an instant? Don't forget that magic has time to prepare. The man analyzed.

"Meow master has a point. Dolly immediately agreed.

"The temperature of these corpses is still very high, and there are freshly burned embers here, it seems that those wizards should not have gone far yet"

Before the man's words fell, he heard a cough from behind him, and quickly drew his long sword, turned around, and made a defensive posture at the same time.

Catwoman hid behind the man, trembling and picking up the dagger in her hand, and a huge white wolf appeared in front of them, slowly pacing out of the shadows of the house
