The white giant wolf opened its big mouth, revealing its bloody teeth, and let out a low roar in its throat, and the eight wolves bent down at the same time, the muscles of their bodies were tense, and the hairs on their necks stood up, looking like they might pounce and attack at any moment. However, none of the four people were frightened away by these white demon wolves, and a few silver-level demonic beasts were obviously impossible to scare off the three legendary-level professionals, as for the other member of the dragon worship clan, it was difficult to divide the strength by rank, but judging from the physical conditions shown, at least they had the strength above gold, and naturally they would not be afraid of these demon wolves.

Although the giant wolves continued to threaten with low roars, their steps were still retreating little by little, these monsters were very intelligent creatures, and they could keenly feel the huge pressure on the four people in front of them. After taking a few steps back, the head wolf of the giant wolves knew that if he retreated, he would lose the rest of his food, and let out a long howl, and he was about to pounce on the four. But just as it was about to exert its strength, it suddenly saw Pannis's eyes, just a plain look, without any energy, without any momentum, but the head wolf let out a miserable whimper as if it had been stepped on by someone's neck, and its tail was sandwiched between its hind legs, and it ran away with the rest of the head. This kind of battle between monsters is very common in the snowfield, and the escape of the giant wolf means that they accept the reality that this is the territory of the other party, and usually they will not turn back.

"I thought you were going to kill these wolves to vent your anger. McWilling glanced at Pannis, "I didn't expect you guys to just scare them away." It was really unexpected. ”

"We are not bloodthirsty people. Catherine said, "If they attack us in a mad way, they will naturally kill them to protect themselves, but since they have retreated. Of course, there is no need to kill them when they don't need to hunt, and as for revenge, it can be seen from the blood of these deer that they only eat dead corpses, and we can still see such an obvious thing. So, if they didn't kill them, why should they seek revenge?"

Pannis ignored the conversation between the two men. Trudging through the snow, slowly approaching the location of the corpse. The carcass of the deer was a mess. One was piled on the ground with only open deerskin and fascia-covered bones, and the other was half of its body left, clotted blood scattered across the white snow.

Pannis casually looked at the carcasses of the two deer and focused his attention on the leg. One leg was lying alone in the snow. The thighs were exposed, and the calves were still wrapped in thick clothing, and it could be seen from the broken thighs that the stubble at the wound was uneven, which should have been torn directly from the body by a huge force. If you touch it, you can see that the stump has been frozen hard, and I don't know how long it has been here.

"It looks like it's supposed to be a young woman's legs. Pannis frowned and said, "Judging from the bones, the age should not exceed twenty years old, and the body is relatively thin." Judging by the temperature here. The leg should have been broken yesterday morning, no, it could have been late at night. That's when we feasted. Now the question is how to tell if this leg is Betty's, well, maybe show it to old Dack to tell. ”

"Heh, heh. Catherine laughed dryly twice, but did not answer. It also takes a lot of courage to identify her father with a suspected broken leg of her daughter, and Catherine doesn't think she'll be able to do it well.

Pannis shrugged. Put the broken leg aside, lie on the snow surface and observe the traces on the snow little by little, although the blizzard has covered all the footprints left before, and the wolves trample the snow surface in a mess, but under the groping of Pennis centimeter by centimeter, he still quickly found something unusual.

"There's a problem here. Pannis patted the snow and began to dig in the ground, and in a short time a fur corner was peeking out of the snow, and Catherine and Eva were helping to dig it, and soon a corpse was dug out from under the snow. The appearance of the corpse is very miserable, the clothes and body are covered with the claw marks of the monster, judging from the traces, it should be left by a monster like a snow leopard, wipe the snow off the face of the corpse, you can find that this is a man about twenty years old, the fatal wound is a tear in the abdomen, and the intestines have flowed out of the wound, but it was quickly frozen.

"Could this be the Neo?" Catherine and Pannis examined the wounds on the corpse together: "Actually, the wound in the abdomen, the intestines flowed out and frozen, and it was not immediately fatal, but he lost too much blood, it seems that he should have lost too much blood and caused a coma, and then he was frozen to death directly in the snow, but was it the snow leopard that attacked him? ”

Unfortunately, after digging for a long time, they dug up all the snow nearby, and they didn't find another body, only some pieces of clothing and a few pieces of cheap jewelry, as well as a fragment of a broken backpack. Several people were looking for it, and suddenly there was a sound of dogs barking in the distance behind them, and it was obvious that a few people who were waiting in the distance couldn't help but rush over to check the situation because they hadn't heard the movement here for too long. As the four of them had done before, they saw the sled lying in the snow from a distance, and they also saw the four professionals digging in a circle. Before he could get close to the crooked sleigh, Old Dark's body began to tremble violently, and when he saw the corpse and his thighs, he tilted his body to the side and passed out directly on the sleigh, and the townspeople who came with him screamed for a long time, but they could not wake up the desperate old man.

"Let's take a look. Pannis motioned to the other townspeople, "You've all seen Neo and his sleigh, come and identify it." ”

Several townspeople walked to the corpse in the snow in a bit of distraction, looked carefully at the corpse's frozen blue face, nodded with a heavy face, and went back to check the damaged sled on the side, gritted his teeth and said: "This is Neo's sled, there is a deep scratch under the sled, which was left when I borrowed it a few years ago, I remember it very clearly, exactly the same scratch, so this must be his sled, it can't be wrong." ”

"In this case, it can be preliminarily determined. Catherine nodded, "The sleigh and the corpse are on the line, and the two sled deer can also be on the side, the problem is Betty's whereabouts." When it is not possible to prove that the leg belongs to Betty, we cannot yet assume that Betty has suffered misfortune, and it is better to ......"

"That's Betty's leg. Old Dack's weak voice sounded, and when he turned his head, the old man who was once energetic and energetic was gone, and Old Dack seemed to be twenty years old in an instant, his eyes were full of despair, and his back was stiff, and he said in a low voice: "This child once climbed the roof when he was a child, but he stepped on the ice and slipped down, and just landed on a farm tool, and pierced two holes in his thigh, and although he was healed later, he also left obvious scars. So when I looked at it just now, I knew the leg ...... Woooooooooooo ”

"The leg is hers, but the person is not necessarily dead. Catherine gritted her teeth and said loudly: "It's not time to give up, expand the excavation area a little more, if you can't find it, it means that Betty has a good chance of still alive." ”

"Don't comfort me, Miss Professional. Old Dack said sadly: "Growing up in the snowfield, I know very well that on such a cold day, I was attacked by a demonic beast and broke a leg, no one can survive in this situation, even if I don't lose too much blood because of a broken leg, I will freeze to death because of the cold weather." Phew, don't work hard everyone, let's go back, that kid, it's her bad luck, I ......"

As soon as he said half of the words, in the exclamations of others, old Dack fainted again, the old man lost his wife in middle age, and never remarried, and in the second half of his life, he regarded this only daughter as more important than his own life, and many times, he would rather die by himself than be hurt by his daughter a little bit. Unexpectedly, his daughter finally grew up, but ended up like this, and at this time, the pain and self-blame in his heart, I am afraid that no one can really understand.

"Let's go back. Pannis said to Catherine very seriously, "Now go back immediately, take Neo's body and this leg that belonged to Betty, and bring the broken sleigh with you, and at least go back to inform the mayor of the town of the bad news." ”

"But, Betty, she ......" Catherine stopped suddenly, she saw Pannis winking at her wordlessly, after more than a year of cooperation, she absolutely believed Pannis's judgment, he must have his own reasons for asking to go back now. So Catherine nodded, and said to the other townspeople, "Bring the broken items, the corpses and stumps are on our sleighs, this time it is really troublesome for you to come out to search, and please work hard for the last stretch of the road, let's hurry back to the town." By the way, Mr. McWillin, come along, and please be a witness to this matter, and I hope you will not find it troublesome. ”

"Trouble is for sure. McWilling stroked his bald head, sighed slowly, and said: "But you are friends of the dragon clan, and you are also good friends of our dragon worship clan, your request, as a friend, we will try our best to meet it, since you need it, then I will accompany you to walk a little longer." ”

"Thank you. Catherine smiled reluctantly at McWilling, and carefully carried the frozen corpse onto the sleigh with Eva, and Pannis, carrying the stump, left the town hopefully, but returned with unspeakable disappointment. (To be continued)
