Chapter 164: Clues

Regarding the matter of climbing trees, the white wolf and the black wolf have exchanged their respective experiences and skills, the black wolf basically relies purely on brute force, while the white wolf climbs the tree is a combination of strength and some skills, although the black wolf has now lost the black power, but after learning some of his brother's skills, climbing a tree is not a difficult thing for her. (See, see, again)

The black wolf followed what the white wolf had taught, first ran for a while, then climbed the trunk of the tree with his paws, put his weight close to the bark, found a good climbing spot, and climbed to the treetops in one go.

Three goblin soldiers were waiting for her with torches in the tree, and the black wolf climbed to the top of the tree with a branch, and the snake man's treehouse was in front of him.

The black wolf took a closer look at the treehouses, which were all made of light wood in order to keep the trees under their weight, and the gaps were covered with straw, which was simple and hidden.

"Have you searched every room?" asked the black wolf.

"I searched inside and out, but I didn't find a single villager. The leader of the first squad, who was immediately behind the black wolf, replied.

"Okay, I'll check it out for myself. "The black wolf thinks that these snake people probably really ran away, because the goblins are very good at looting and rummaging things, and if anyone is hiding in the house, they will definitely be able to find out.

Since there is a high probability that the people have escaped, it is time to look for some clues, and the black wolf hopes that the snake people will leave some clues before leaving, so that she can judge which way the snake people have fled.

The black wolf went from house to house, and she basically swept past the houses that had been turned over by the goblins, and she began to look carefully at the houses that had not been ravaged by the goblins, and finally found a clue.

These rooms don't have the messy, tiny footprints of goblins, so it can be judged that no goblins have ever entered, and there should be more clues left in such rooms.

The black wolf rummaged carefully, trying not to destroy the scene, and she found that the houses, although not ravaged by goblins, were still in disarray, and it seemed that these people had definitely left in a hurry, and there were some valuable items such as gems and even rations that had not had time to take with them.

The results of the investigation on the treehouse yielded these results, unable to determine the whereabouts of the snake people, and finally she had to rely on the black wolf's keen sense of smell, she sniffed a large bed, remembered the smell of it, and then jumped off the tree and began to follow the snake people's tracks along the scent.

It's been three hours, and the smell of the snake people has become a little thin, but it is not a problem to track them down in combination with the traces they have left behind, these snake people seem to have just left the door and started to crawl towards the lake, the thick snake tail left one heavy and tortuous mark after another on the ground, and it looked like they were carrying a lot of heavy objects.

The black wolf continued to chase towards the lake, and she smelled a faint smell of blood in the air, which was too weak to be weaker, but still could not escape her nose.

Finally chased to the lake, the black wolf looked at the scene in front of him, and sighed, there were some luggage scattered around the lake, and there were some blood stains in addition to it.

The mud around the lake was damp, and there were marks on it that recorded how chaotic it had been, and the trails of the snakes' tails were intertwined and finally disappeared into the lake.

"What the hell is going on here?" the black wolf was full of doubts, what happened to the snake people before they left their village and came to the lake, which could also be explained as that they were going to flee by the waterway to hide from their own army?

The black wolf walked to the bloodstain, she just wanted to sniff it according to her habits, but she didn't expect to find that there was something buried in the soil under the bloodstain.

The black wolf dug up the soil with her own claws and found that there was half a snake man's tail buried in it, this fresh tail made the black wolf appetite, but in the end she still held back her own bite on the **, because she knew that this was important evidence and could not be easily destroyed.

The snake's tail was very long, like an earthworm buried deep in the ground, and the black wolf pulled it out with his claws and studied it carefully.

The tail undoubtedly belonged to a snake man, and the scales were mostly yellow, with a black spot in the center of each scale, and the black wolf had examined the corpses of other snake people, and the scales were exactly the same shape and color as theirs. This tail is not yet dead, and it will continue to twitch when the black wolf stimulates its muscles.

"It seems that this tail has not been cut off for too long, perhaps it is the same abominable as it was cut off a few hours ago! If I had been some time earlier, I might have been able to catch them!" the black wolf thought unwillingly, the raid seemed to have failed, and his target had already escaped.

"I have to talk to my brother about the intelligence system when I go back, the speed of obtaining information is too slow, if I had let those two snake people speak at the front line base at that time, things would not have developed like this. Black Wolf complained that she was not satisfied with the efficiency of the intelligence system this time, even though there was no intelligence system in the Emirate at the moment.

"Maybe it's time to call in and wait, maybe things will turn around. The black wolf was already going to give up, but then he saw the tail in his hand again, and suddenly thought of something, since there is a snake man who has left his tail, then this tail must have its owner.

However, the black wolf failed to find any corpses of the snake man on the shore, perhaps the dead snake man was still alive, but this is very unlikely, and it is more likely that the snake man who lost his tail has been submerged in the bottomless water.

Even so, the black wolf still wanted to give it a try, this was the first time she had commanded an army on an attack mission, and she didn't want to go back empty-handed.

"Herald!" the black wolf shouted to the group of goblins standing densely in the distance, and immediately four goblins stood up and ran to the black wolf.

"You go and tell the squadron leaders to take their troops to search the shore of the lake inch by inch, and if they find a survivor who looks like a snake man, they must immediately rescue them, and report them to me at the same time, do you understand?" the black wolf issued an order.

"Understood!" the heralds immediately saluted, then raised their torches and ran towards their destinations.

"Let's hope this search will be fruitful," the black wolf sighed and muttered to himself as he looked at the herald's back.
