Before dawn, Leon and his party set out, and the night had been relatively peaceful, with no wild beasts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Highness, wait. "Birov was on duty for the second half of the night, but he was in good spirits, and he looked left and right along the way, for fear of missing a detail.
"It smells of blood. "The moment Leon stopped, he smelled a thin smell of blood in the air, and there must have been some injuries around.
Several people began to look around for suspicious traces.
"Here it is. Based on the hunter's experience, Birov guessed that the trap was the cause, and he searched for a suitable place to set it up, and sure enough, he found the bloody trap.
It was a trap trap, covered with a thick layer of dead leaves, which was now half-loose, leaving some blood that had not yet coagulated.
"Is this Diana's stay?" Riley looked around, but saw no suspicious shadow.
"I don't know yet, it could also be left by a beast, there are so many fallen leaves on it, and the disguise effect is very good. Leon crouched down and dipped in blood, which should not have been left for long.
"Let's keep chasing, whether it's a man or a beast, it won't walk fast when it's injured. "Birov doesn't have the ability to distinguish blood, and judging by the sharpness of this clip, once triggered, it must be a minor injury.
"I guess it's human blood. Emma said.
"Why?" Riley looked at her, she still had the ability to do this?
"If it's a wild animal, it will run away in a panic when it is injured, and at the same time the blood will remain on the ground. But at present, there are no other blood marks around, which means that the wound has been treated, and the person must have been injured. Emma analyzed through her previous experience in the mountains and forests that only people will treat their wounds in time after being injured.
"It makes sense, let's look for it separately, we should still be able to find a little clue, and we will leave quickly after we find it. Leon didn't want to stay and speculate, as long as he caught up, he could see clearly.
Very few people have set foot here, and there are traces of fallen leaves on the ground as long as they are stepped on.
"This way. After Leon searched for a while, he saw a few drops of blood on the dead leaves, and there were very shallow marks on the ground, indicating that it must have been a person who was injured, and it was not clear whether it was Diana or the hunter who had entered the mountain.
"Your Highness, are we going this way? Birov asked after discerning the direction, if he chased this person, it would be equivalent to turning a corner halfway.
"Let's split up, Riley and I will go after you, you and Miss Emma will continue on, and if you don't find any suspicious signs by noon, you will turn around and go back. Leon thought to himself, this man must be from the town, and now he has been injured and must be treated. The original plan had to be carried out, and for everyone's safety, Leon couldn't let the two of them go too deep into the no-man's land.
"Well, let's go first. Birov didn't want to waste time either, so he left with Emma first.
Leon takes Riley on another path.
After chasing for half a day, the blood stains on the ground appeared once at a distance.
"This person is so badly injured, why don't you stop and bandage it well. Riley couldn't stand it anymore, he kept bleeding like this, and in the end no one could save him.
"It looks like we're getting closer. Leon touched his fingers, but the surroundings were not flat, and his vision was severely obstructed, and it would be a little difficult for the man to find them.
"You wait for me, I'll go up and have a look. Leon looked around and decided to climb up to the top to take a look.
"Your Highness, be careful. Riley was not good at climbing, so he could only watch the prince climb the steep slope by the old tree roots, regardless of his image.
At this moment, a wolf howl resounded through the mountains and forests from nowhere, and Leon slipped his hand and almost fell.
"Your Highness. Riley seemed to sense something.
"Don't worry, I'll go up first. Leon also sensed that wolves generally do not howl at this time, and that something must have happened that forced them to do so.
The wolf howl came again, and it was probably known from the sound that there was more than one.
Leon finally reached the top of the slope, and a slender breath was clearly visible because his palm had slid on the sharp stone, and he straightened up to look into the distance, not bothering to deal with the bleeding wound.
From here, turn a corner to the left and you'll see a small valley with several white things shaking in it, which according to the previous sound were supposed to be white wolves.
On top of that, Leon saw a gray-haired person, and she must be Diana.
"I found her, and it's possible that she's in danger. Leon came down quickly, the white wolf was already a dangerous creature, and now there were several of them present, Diana's taming technique could not deal with them at the same time, I only hoped that they could be saved when they arrived.
Leon took off his sword and prepared for a big battle.
"You hide behind and take care of yourself. Leon instructed as he walked, he couldn't take care of much by himself.
"I will. Riley nodded in agreement, and in order not to cause trouble to the prince, she tried to hide in a safe place so that the prince could concentrate on the fight.
According to the previous observation, the two of them successfully reached the mouth of the small valley, from which Diana could be seen kneeling on the ground with them on her back, surrounded by several white wolves, who kept moving and looked very anxious.
"You're just waiting here. Leon raised his sword and walked forward.
The white wolf noticed the approaching stranger, and they immediately became alert and made a hostile sound.
"Diana, are you alright?" Leon walked forward step by step, Diana kept her back to her, wondering what was going on with her.
"Your Highness?" Diana, who heard the voice, turned her head, her eyes were full of tears, she couldn't believe that the prince would appear here.
"It's fine if you're okay. Leon breathed a sigh of relief, but the white wolves' eyes were red, indicating that they had not been tamed, but why did they not hurt Diana?
At this time, a weak wolf howl came out, and the white wolves immediately restrained their hostility and lay quietly on the ground.
"Your Highness, come here with confidence. "Diana wiped her tears, the white wolf would not hurt.
Leon has a long sword in his hand, and it is better to keep a vigilant heart.
When he got closer, he found that there was a white wolf lying in front of Diana, covered in wounds, and the blood had dyed most of its hair red, and the color was somewhat black, except for the blood stains on the wound, which had coagulated, and it seemed that it had been injured for some time.
"Your Highness, I felt that it was injured that night, and I couldn't let it go so I ran out without permission, but I didn't expect it to become like this, if only I hadn't let it escape, it was all my fault. Diana burst into tears, thinking that she would be able to live freely after escaping, but now she was seriously injured and dying.
"Don't cry, you're not wrong. Leon put down his sword, and the white wolves stood by so quietly, it seemed that it was their leader.
"It is very uncomfortable, and I beg Your Highness to put an end to its suffering. Diana couldn't bear to touch its wounds, she didn't know what kind of beast could make it hurt like this, and even its internal organs could be seen in serious places, and it was almost impossible to save it.
"It's still saved. "Leon didn't want to kill it.
"How is that possible?" Diana, although she was not a doctor, knew that such an injury could not be saved.
"Riley, come here. Leon stood up and shouted out of the valley, but luckily Riley had followed, otherwise he would have ended the life of the white wolf.
Riley, who arrived in a hurry, began to concentrate on the treatment after examining the injury, the green light flowing on the white wolf's body, and the wound healed quickly and at a visible speed.
Its life was saved, and although the wound healed, it still looked weak due to excessive blood loss.
"Riley, thank you so much. Diana couldn't help but cry out loud, and she hugged Riley tightly, and the gratitude in her heart could not be exhausted.
"Don't cry, you're injured and need treatment. Riley saw the blood-soaked cloth towel on Diana's ankle and knew she had fallen into the trap.
Leon's minor wound was healed at the same time.
"Diana, do you know what's going on?" Leon thrust his sword back into its scabbard, and there should have been a heated process.
"It must have had a disagreement with another wolf, but that one was dead. Diana didn't know the language of beasts, but she guessed something by that strange connection.
"Oh, it's about fighting for the lead. "Leon knows a little from the book that if the white wolf wants to lead the pack, he must fight by force, and it seems that it has won.
"It didn't escape to be free, but to take them to town. Diana stroked the white wolf, and it didn't say goodbye to do such a thing.
Leon couldn't help but be surprised, but when you think about it, it should be a surprise.
Counting the white wolves around, there are six in total, no, there are two cute little ones behind them, Ravenwood will have eight white wolves with extremely strong combat effectiveness, which is really full of unexpected gains.
