Chapter 20: The Intruder
The white wolf was slowly strolling through the woods, his expression was a little dazed, his steps were extremely light, except for the rustling sound caused by stepping on the leaves, there was hardly any other sound, and there were deer foraging next to him, but he did not notice the approach of the white wolf at all, and only fled in fright after the white wolf deliberately made a noise.
However, today the white wolf was a little depressed and had no desire to hunt, so he watched the frightened fawn run away in a hurry.
This effect of quiet walking, the white wolf can do it almost subconsciously, on the one hand, because the flesh pads on his paws are thick enough, and the part of the force when the footsteps fall is buffered, and on the other hand, because of the white wolf's predator instinct, he almost subconsciously likes to take a light step when walking.
"What should we do in the future?" said the white wolf, who shuttled from tree to tree like a ghost, thinking about the future. Although the days he lived with Alyssa and Rika were short, after all, there were two people to talk to, and the days of indulging in research every day were quite fulfilling, and now he was going back to the state of being alone before, the white wolf was very reluctant, and he felt that his heart was suffering.
"It seems that both wolves and humans are social animals. The white wolf looked up to the sky and sighed, he now felt that he had to find a way to find a group that could accept him, so that if he lived alone for too long, he would definitely suffocate himself into a madman, and no matter how bad he was, he would be depressed.
It seems that he has three paths to go now, one is to learn the transformation spell, turn himself into a human, and then as a human, integrate into the human society he is most familiar with, this path seems to be the most reliable, but the white wolf does not have any clue about the transformation spell at all now.
"It can't be helped, after all, technological breakthroughs can't be achieved overnight. The white wolf comforted himself.
The second way is to quickly improve his strength, and when no one can threaten him, he can go to contact with humans without care, this road looks quite domineering, and there is a certain feasibility, but improving his strength is also a process of years, talent is as strong as a white wolf, and it also takes a long time to learn, and what is worse is that where to find the materials for learning? He now has only a "thundering" crystal at hand for him to study, and if he wants to become stronger, the white wolf also needs to master more runes.
The third way is to find a pack of wolves who are willing to accept him and live as a wolf.
This is theoretically the easiest to achieve, but it is the path that the white wolf does not want to take anyway.
He decided to go back to the big house first. Live there for a while, study the Thunder Crystal thoroughly, and plan for your future by the way.
Either way, it looks like the white wolf is full of unknowns.
Accidents always happen when people are not prepared.
Just as the white wolf walked to a small hill not far from the big house, he saw billowing smoke coming out of the direction of the big house, and the billowing smoke roared into the sky, like a sharp sword.
The white wolf immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately climbed uphill and looked in the direction of the thick smoke. Sure enough, the smoke came from the inside of the big house.
"How is that possible? I remember turning off the stove before leaving...."The white wolf was confused by this sudden change, but when he realized that it could not be a fire, the word "enemy attack" instantly popped into his mind.
The white wolf immediately jumped down the hill and ran wildly towards the big house that was on fire.
By the time the white wolf rushed back to the big house, the fire had already stopped, but fortunately, the white wolf had learned the lesson of the destruction of the village and built the house out of bricks and stones that could not be burned, so the house was still in good shape.
However, the interior of the house was not so lucky, the tables, chairs, and the white wolf's favorite blanket were all burned, and the food stored in the basement was also completely gone, and it seemed that someone had robbed it.
This is a very obvious case of burglary and arson.
The door panels of the house were torn down by looters and thrown to the side of the road like garbage, and there were many disorganized footprints in the doorway, which were stained with wet mud and trails of dragging heavy objects next to them.
The weight was clearly the dragon corpse in the basement.
The size of the footprints is about the same as that of a human child of six, seven or eight years old, with only four toes, and the heel is much wider than that of a human, and none of the creatures that left these footprints are wearing shoes, so the shape of the feet is clearly visible, and the distance between the footprints is calculated, and these creatures are about 1 meter tall.
"It's a goblin. "The white wolf can already confirm who the culprit in this case is, small in stature, with four toes, and a penchant for looting and arson, exactly like the goblins described by Alyssa.
Counting the footprints, there were about 20 goblins, and the time period of their looting happened to be the time when the white wolf was out, the white wolf didn't believe that this was a coincidence, this was a premeditated robbery, and they had long been targeted by these goblins.
"It's good to send Alyssa and Rika away. The white wolf was secretly glad in his heart, he might be able to cope with so many goblins by himself, but with two more sisters, he really didn't have the confidence to ensure the safety of both of them.
According to Alyssa, goblins are extremely cruel and tyrannical creatures, they like to prey, they have a strong reproductive ability, and have a habit of abusing prey, in the eyes of humans, this is an out-and-out evil creature, so in the human realm, this kind of little thing is basically killed, and only in such a place away from people can they be seen.
What the goblins are doing at the moment confirms Alyssa's words, and the white wolf originally felt that there might be prejudice in the people's perception of the goblins here, but the white wolf, who has always believed in seeing is believing, has to admit that their words are probably correct this time.
"The looters must get the punishment they deserve. The white wolf was quite angry at this moment, this was the house he had worked so hard to build with his own hands, and it was destroyed like this, and he did not intend to forgive the arsonists.
The white wolf sniffed, and the air contained the burnt smell of burning wood, the bloody smell of dragon corpses, the smell of fishy mud, and a strong disgusting body odor.
"Goblins are said to never take a bath...", looking in the direction of the smell, the white wolf showed Bai Sensen's teeth.
"Hehe... I've found you—" The white wolf hunched over as he guarded, tracking in the direction from which the body odor had come from.
