Suven's place was several kilometers away from the town of Certores at the center of the tremor, so after the initial shaking of the mountain, the first mania from there could no longer be felt in this wilderness, only the traces of light magic in the sky and the occasional "knock" knock sound from the ground.

If Su Wen had had some leisure at this time, he might have expressed a moment of silence for the thousands of townspeople in that town, but he obviously didn't have time to do so.

Standing on the fast-moving carriage, Su Wen took out the spare torch in the continuous slight tremor and lit it with a kerosene lamp, illuminating a large area of light. Gray wolves are social creatures and don't usually forage alone, but their fear of fire is constant, and it's always good for them to shine brighter around them.

Perhaps due to excessive exhaustion, the gray-haired horse, which had been dragging the carriage for a long time, gradually slowed down, and even from a distance of several meters, Su Wen could still hear its thick breathing. He didn't wave the whip at the horse again, after all, no matter how strong a creature is, there is also the limit of physical strength, and it is not easy to be able to pull the carriage for several kilometers in one breath, and he is forcing it to accelerate It is estimated that it will not be long before he is tired and will lie down.

At the same time, there were more and more gray shadows in the distance, and Su Wen could even hear the crushed howls of wolves. By the light from the sky and the torches, he judged that there were at least a dozen hungry beasts around him.

At the front of the carriage, the visibly frightened half-elf girl was clutching her pistol, she didn't respond to Su Wen's words, but just looked at the darkness around her with the most vigilant gaze, and at the same time took out Glock's matching butt from the weapon case, as well as the heavy drum that she had obviously coveted for a long time. If it was in normal times, Su Wen would probably knock her on the head at this time, but now he seems to have acquiesced to her behavior and did not stop her in any way.

"Keep an eye on the back and side, and if anything is unusual, fire freely. ”

Su Wen said.

Laetitia didn't speak, she was silent with the butt of her rifle against her right shoulder in a not-so-standard position, and she loaded the tiny Glock 18 in the dark.

From her movements, Su Wen could see that she was extremely nervous.

Perhaps feeling the same fatigue of their prey, the gray wolves who had followed the carriage for several minutes finally assembled, and their bodies became clearer and clearer from the wilderness on either side of the wilderness to the gravel paved road. Su Wen stared ahead, but the rest of his eyes were always watching all the wind and grass on both sides of the carriage, if any gray wolf dared to cross the boundary of the road, then the first thing to face was his thunderous bullets.

However, at this moment, there was no warning......

"Bang bang bang-"

A continuous sound sounded from behind him, and strings of smoke and dust exploded on the road-turned mounds, and the trajectory had a clear tendency to drift upwards due to the strong recoil.

Without even thinking about it, Su Wen knew that it was Laetitia who couldn't help but fire.

"Shoot, stupid!"

Su Wen roared, but immediately found that the group of gray wolves seemed to be stimulated by this burst of gunfire, not only did they not scatter and flee, but instead rushed towards the center of the road with their huge wolf teeth open. Su Wen didn't care to blame Laetitia, he quickly aimed and pulled the trigger that was already ready to fire, and the gray wolf that rushed to the front was immediately hit in the abdomen, rolled sideways and fell between the gravels of the road, and the half-roar that was bursting out suddenly turned into a whimper.

Fortunately, Laetitia quickly listened to Su Wen's words and quickly turned on the automatic switch of Glock in her hand, but when she shot, she was still completely inaccurate, and she was basically hitting the dirt.

Su Wen's side was not so leisurely, the main target of the wolves was focused on the most conspicuous gray-haired horse, and if three or five pounced at the same time, even he would be almost impossible to stop. These gray wolves moved much faster and smaller than the group of people a few days ago, and in the gray night they were like sharp arrows that could not be seen clearly, let alone hit them with bullets, and it was very difficult to lock their positions at the same time.

Therefore, in the next second, the thigh of the gray-haired horse was fiercely bitten by a rushing wolf, and the four sharp canine teeth easily tore the muscles on the horse's legs, and even tore off a large piece of flesh and blood of the horse's skin.

Su Wen's eyes were cracked...... It's weird, in the end it's just a horse, it's really good to use it as a cover, even if you play badly, you don't have to feel distressed. He took advantage of the moment the wolf pounced on its prey and shot through its belly, where it was lying on the ground with its mouth full of scarlet, screaming and rolling. There were two other gray wolves at the side of the carriage that were rushing at the same time, but they seemed to be frightened by the sound of the pistols and the flames, and chose to turn back to the wails of their companions.

The attack was successfully defused, but the frightened horse posed even greater danger, and it neighed in pain and staggered and staggered, causing the carriage pulling behind it to shake violently. If it weren't for Su Wen's quick eyes and quick hands, he rushed forward to cut off the rope of the horse sleeve, I am afraid that the moment it rushed out of the road, the carriage behind would have completely flipped over.

But even so, the detached vehicle rolled forward several meters due to inertia, and the front wheel dug deep into the soft sand beside the road before finally stopping.

The gray-haired horse, on the other hand, rushed into the wilderness far from the road, and disappeared.

How stupid it is to be in such a hurry to die!

Su Wen couldn't help but sigh silently. If the horse had stayed on the road, it would have been able to save his life, but it would have been no different from a sheep in the mouth of a tiger if it had been on a rampage like this, but its departure had led away most of the wolves almost instantly, and they howled and rushed into the dark depths in groups, as if they were having a lively dinner.

Well, no, it's a lively dinner party.

Su Wen looked back, and half of the luggage in the carriage had been emptied, especially the half-open ammunition box that rolled out and sprinkled bullets. Laetitia was sitting in the middle of the bullets, holding Glock 18, which had been modified to look like a pistol at all, aiming into the darkness, still firing from time to time.

Turning a half-elf from the wizarding world into what he is now, Su Wen always felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Stop, pack our things, we need to hurry back. Su Wen pressed down the gun in Laetitia's hand and helped him withdraw the drums and bullets, "We can't go anywhere without that stupid horse, we can't cross the wasteland for dozens of kilometers, or at night...... Hopefully Certores isn't ruined, or it's even more troublesome. ”

Su Wen planned everything, but he didn't expect that there would be hordes of wolves in such a place. At that time, he knew that things were going to go badly, but what he didn't expect was that the gray-haired horse actually had bone growth after just being bitten, and directly abandoned the car and fled, leaving them in the wasteland.

But then again, the gray-haired horse's ability to attract hatred is really amazing, at first only half of the gray wolves were attracted to it, and then the gray wolves around the carriage became fewer and fewer, so that they completely dispersed. After discovering this situation, Su Wen was really a little crying and laughing, and he didn't know whether to scold the gray-haired horse or thank him.

Anyway, good luck with it, don't be so easy to eat.

At least put it off a little longer.

At this time, Laetitia leaned stiffly on the carriage that turned forward, and even the elven pointed ears were as straight as an erection. Su Wen knew that this was the sequelae of the first time he used a firearm in actual combat, and the high level of nervousness coupled with the loud sound tremor in his ears was enough for any novice to make him wander out of the world.

Casting a head touch on Laetitia, Su Wen smiled and said, "You did a good job. ”

"Master, I didn't even hit ...... one"

"Maybe you hit me and don't know it, but the first time I left the range and shot a bullet into someone else's body, I probably didn't act as calm as you did. ”

"When was that, master?"

"I don't know, maybe more than ten years. ”

Laetitia seemed to want to ask something, but she didn't say anything.

The town of Certoris was not visible in the distance, but the tremors had subsided, and the brilliant colors of the sky dome due to the explosion of light magic were gradually dissipating. As a result, the night in the plateau is brighter than ever, so that even in places where the torches cannot reach, you can see the bleak scene with your eyes.

'I'm afraid this isn't a high-level mage-level battle anymore, is it?'

Su Wen vaguely guessed that he didn't know which side had won, but looking at the land that had now returned to calm, at least the existence hidden underground would definitely not be better. Of course, although he was a little disappointed because he couldn't witness the battle with his own eyes, if the price of watching the battle was his own life, then Su Wen felt that it was better not to watch it.

It's just that after walking for a long time and then going back, this kind of thing doesn't feel good no matter how you think about it, and if the old man who was hidden in the tower didn't hang up in the battle, it is estimated that nine times out of ten he will have to ask himself. It's really troublesome to think about it like this, I knew how good it would be to run away without doing anything, and I didn't have to worry about it when I went back, so I had to care about the life and death of those irrelevant people.

But in any case, there is no better option for Suvin than to return to Cetores.

If you don't go back, even if you hike to the exit of the Grand Prado Valley, where there will be no human populations due to the steep terrain, can you still detour another 150 kilometers directly to the southern plateau city...... It was not appropriate to seek refuge in a passing caravan, and Su Wen did not dare to take the risks involved, among which he was most worried about the gray wolves going and returning: although Su Wen was not necessarily afraid of them, it was not easy to ensure the safety of Laetitia under the wolf's fangs.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Su Wen still decided to turn back first to see the situation.

It's better to be troublesome than not even being able to guarantee your life.

So, the two of them left some unimportant items, packed them up, and walked lightly towards the road from which they came. Only the carriage, some inconsequential luggage, inconspicuous bloodstains, and two dying wounded gray wolves were left in their place - of course, Su Wen didn't forget to make up for it, but because Laetitia was still there, he didn't think about throwing them to the system, anyway, they were ordinary beasts, and they weren't worth a few points.

After a long silence, stepping on the smooth gravel road, Police Lyetitia asked her doubts while looking around: "Master, what is going on there?"

"I don't know more than you, it must be some kind of giant monster."

"Will it be dangerous for us to go back?"

"The danger looks like it's gone. Anyway, we can observe from a distance, and if there is anything unusual, we can turn back and ......"

When he said this, Su Wen seemed very unimposing, after all, he might have to go back and forth on this road four times, and anyone would feel extremely painful.

There was a small, winding valley between Suven's location and the town of Certores, which seemed to have collapsed in the tremor not long ago, and the piece of rubble that had almost hit the wagon was only the beginning. So, when Suvin and Laetitia returned, with the help of torches in their hands, they found that the roads in the area were covered with gravel and clods of dirt that had fallen from the hillside, and could no longer be called "roads" at all.

However, Su Wen's gaze has always been very sensitive. He soon noticed that something seemed to be buried beneath a large pile of rubble.

Su Wen felt that it seemed to be a person.

Laetitia also noticed the anomaly there, and soon showed an uncontrollable look of surprise.

"Master, isn't this the sister of the Wizards' Guild, how could she be here?

"So it's not at all! And how the hell did you recognize it by the corners of your clothes and your arms!"
