Chapter 60: The Source
"Whew. The chief opened his mouth, as if to say something, but the ground under his feet suddenly sank.
"You two, go around to the back ......," the chief realized something unusual in the middle of his speech—it was dark, and it was no longer a tribal warrior receiving orders, but an expressionless Faust.
"Chieftain, we've already lost. Faust didn't wait for the chief to react, and then he was the first to express his opinion, "There are too many canopy wolves, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it. ”
The chief's face was terrible, and he blushed but didn't say a word. He also knew that his side's defeat in this battle was a fact, and it could not be reversed by individual efforts. Even so, though, he was reluctant to accept this reality.
"Chieftain, let's fight again!" this is the samurai leader who came to report the news, and he still encourages the chief to continue to resist the invasion of the canopy wolf and try to protect the civilian population of the tribe.
"What are you kidding," Faust flatly rejected his request, "anyone can see that those beasts have gained the upper hand, and what are your plans for letting the chief go up?"
Faust, of course, didn't want to go back to the surface. While these canopy wolves pose no threat to him, they are still a minor nuisance - he can't exterminate all the crested wolves or save all the tribesmen. The best thing he could do for his plan was to save the chief.
"But......" The samurai leader seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't think of anything appropriate...... Or rather, excuses. Faust believed that no one who could attain a relatively high position would be too naïve, and he would never persuade the chieftain to return for the sake of the lives of the tribesmen.
Most likely, one of his close relatives is still on top, Faust guessed.
"That's enough," the chief finally decided, "we've been through countless beast tides, and it's not for nothing worse than this one, so you'd better be shocked." The chief tactfully rebuked the samurai commander.
The samurai commander had no choice but to slowly step aside. He did not speak, apparently not satisfied with the chief's reply.
"After they escape, they should go directly to another camp," the chief's analysis was based on the premise that his own side had been defeated, "We can't be idle, without further ado, we'll go and solve the source of these canopy wolves!"
"Chieftain, do you mean......" The samurai commander was overjoyed, he never thought that the old chief would make up his mind - in the past, the chief had avoided talking about this subject, and if anyone mentioned it, there would be some kind of "accident".
"That's right, this time we're going to solve the problem of the beast tide once and for all. The chief said categorically.
"Chieftain, what you say ......" Faust had already guessed that this phenomenon of beast tides was obviously not something that should exist under natural circumstances.
"That's right, as you guessed," the chief nodded in agreement, "and that's the city where the beast tide originated. The chief waved his hand, "That's right, let's go over together and settle the whole city together!"
Faust nodded, "You have a point. "He's not in perfect shape right now, which makes the journey even more dangerous. Now, though, there's no better option.
"So, let's go. "The chief is a man of priorities, and the sooner he leaves the battlefield, the sooner he will be safe.
Faust just nodded, and he glanced at the others in the crypt, "How is it? His own team must all be involved in the expedition.
Although some people seemed to have something to say, they held back when they saw that everyone had no objections. Faust didn't care what these people were thinking, all he wanted was not to object.
"In that case, let's go. Faust reconfirmed. The current crypt is completely supported by his equipment ability, and the movement is naturally completely controlled by him.
Seeing that no one objected, Faust naturally manipulated Hude Meier's dentures and began to move underneath - only in this way could he avoid the invincible canopy wolf on the ground.
"As you know, I have organized several expeditions to the ancient city, and we have not found nothing. As Faust maneuvered into the crypt, the chief began to explain to him about the canopy wolf.
"When I was younger, the canopyed wolf was just an ordinary beast of prey. The chief recalled the long time passed, "At that time, although life was a little harder than it is now, there was no calamity. ”
"But after that expedition, everything was different. The chief's eyes seemed to travel through time and space, and he saw the scene again.
"It's miserable...... his voice trembled, "at the time...... Marula and I haven't split up yet, and you have an impression, right?" he said halfway and began to talk to the mayor.
"Ah? yes, yes. The mayor seemed to be in a daze, and when he heard the old chief's words, he reacted for a moment before coming back to his senses, "At that time, almost half of us were dead, and I thought the expedition was not over." ”
Mayor Marula's tone was much more flat, as if the illness had taken him so hard that he didn't even have the strength to get emotional.
But the old chief didn't pay attention to his tone, he just wanted to get an approval. Faust understood this thought, and the old chief just didn't want to bear the name of a coward on his back alone.
"Later, I separated from him. "The old chief brushed aside the part of the conspiracy, and it didn't matter what he was going to say next, anyway.
"After that, the canopy wolf became more and more harmful, and the first few times, we really lost a lot. As he spoke, the old chief glanced at Mayor Marula, who had already left the jungle and had escaped many disasters.
"However, human beings always have to find a way out. The chief laughed to himself, "When I recover a little, I will immediately organize people to investigate the matter of the canopy wolf." ”
"I've never seen a juvenile canopy wolf. The chief paused for a few seconds, and the topic suddenly jumped to the ecology of the canopy wolf. "You know, all the animals in the jungle grow from small to large, and there's no reason why the canopy wolf shouldn't. "The chief has a big heart and is still in the mood to joke at times like these.
"But what I've seen in my quest has changed what I've always known," the chief still seemed to be in his mind, Faust could smell his stale fear, "they ...... They do not have a juvenile stage. ”
"Yes, they are adults as soon as they come out of their womb. "I'm afraid you've guessed it, Lord Faustus, whose mother is that city." That living city. ”
