"Roar!!
"Roar!!
A man and a wolf stood facing each other, eyes met, and a threatening roar emanating from the depths of their throats. In the eyes of each other, Lina's momentum became stronger and stronger, while the momentum of the black giant wolf became more and more sluggish. Within a few minutes, the giant wolf let out a short whimper, took a few steps backwards, and deferentially lowered its massive head. Seeing the giant wolf's reaction, Lina finally reached out her tongue and licked her upper lip with satisfaction, raised her front paws, or rather, raised her left hand and gently patted the giant wolf's hanging head a few times. The ferocious giant wolf became like a docile child at this time, approached Lina's side, rubbed Lina's body affectionately with the black fur on his head, and followed every wolf in the wolf pack behind him to step forward in the same way, showing friendly obedience with physical contact.
"Woo~~~~" After communicating with the last black wolf, Lina raised her head to the sky again and roared, letting out a long wolf howl, and as soon as the cry fell, all the new black wolves also howled loudly, expressing affirmation and support to the newly met wolf king through different calls. In the forest, wolf howls were constantly coming from all directions in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and denser.
Lina ignored the echo from afar, and restarted her steps, following the trail of the foxes. The bloodthirsty and ferocious wolves seemed to have completely ignored Pennis, Vivien, and Catherine, and followed in Lina's footsteps.
"It's ...... What's the situation?" Vivien was completely confused by what was happening in front of her, and asked Catherine and Penis with a blank face, "Lina has completely turned into a wolf?"
"Don't talk too much, don't talk to her, just go along. Catherine shook her head and said, "Now she is not Lina or Diana, now she is the king of the wolves, and she must maintain the majesty of her king." ”
"I see. Vivian bit her lip and looked at Lina's back with some concern: "She won't be unable to come back." ”
"No, it won't. Pannis replied: "Although I don't know the reason for her current situation, judging from the experience of the previous times, this is only a short-term change, and it will definitely recover." ”
"Okay. Vivien finally relieved herself a little, nodded and said, "Then let's keep up, solve the current problem as soon as possible, and let Lina come back as soon as possible." ”
In order to take care of the three humans behind her and the mercenaries who followed from afar, Diana's advance speed was not fast, and the wolves that followed closely behind seemed to be full of patience, and none of the wolves surpassed Diana's position. As they went, wolves of all sizes joined the advancing ranks, and each time they joined the pack, Diana responded with a howl. Maybe because of Diana's strong momentum and coercion, or maybe because the wolf king already has a powerful follower giant wolf around him, the new wolf leaders no longer questioned her identity as the first black wolf, but directly joined the wolf pack's team.
Thirty, fifty, hundred, the number of wolves in the pack is increasing, and the number of wolves is getting bigger and bigger. In the woodland, as the wolves who heard the call of the wolf king everywhere responded with howls, and also let the wolves in a farther position know the call of the wolf king, for a time, in hundreds of square kilometers of woodland, no matter how far or near, whether they can reach it or not, all the wolves are concentrating here, and even take on the nature of pilgrimage. In just one hour, the number of wolves exceeded five hundred, and it was obvious that all the wolves within a radius of several tens of kilometers responded to the wolf king's call and came at full speed.
More than 500 strong and fierce giant wolves gathered into a bloodthirsty torrent, swept through the forest, where the wolves passed, whether strong or weak, no animal dared to appear, even if it was a high-level overlord in some areas that was passed, the wolves in transit could only take measures to avoid, and would never dare to stop the slightest, and the large-scale wolves walked through the forest without scruples, ignoring any powerful magical beasts.
"This is the wolf tide. Pannis followed the wolves from a distance and sighed softly: "It turns out that this is how the wolf tide is generated, it is really rare." ”
"Is this the wolf tide? the legendary wolf tide?" Catherine covered her mouth in surprise and suppressed her exclamation.
"It's the kind of wolf tide you imagine. Pannis nodded, "The number is still small, just a rudiment, but if you give them a few days, the number of them will be very amazing." ”
The wolf tide is a very terrifying phenomenon in the Yala continent, the most recent of which occurred in the orc grassland more than a hundred and thirty years ago. The exact cause of this is unknown, but the scene was often used by orcs to scare disobedient children.
It is said that during the last wolf tide, more than 200,000 steppe wolves gathered around the wolf king and roamed the western part of the orc steppe, leaving no living creatures in their passes. In order to fight against the wolf tide, the three major tribes in the western part of the steppe jointly sent troops, and the coalition of nearly 20,000 well-equipped and well-trained orc warriors faced the terrifying wolf tide.
No one knows the course of that war, and all the intelligent beings can see is the outcome of the war. After the end of the war, the orc alliance was completely wiped out, there were no survivors, three legendary powerhouses fell, hundreds of high-level professionals were killed, low-level professionals and ordinary warriors died countless times, and the wolf pack was only two-thirds reduced, and there were still more than 60,000 steppe wolves active in the grassland, until after selectively attacking seven small tribes, the orc demigods dispersed abruptly before they were ready to deal with it, leaving only the corpses all over the mountains and the fear of the wolf tide in people's hearts.
In the Warcraft Illustrated Book published by the Adventurer's Guild, the danger level of the Warcraft Wolf is positioned one level higher, precisely because of the existence of the wolf tide. If the ordinary Warcraft wolf pack is only a relatively weak existence in the Flash Forest and can only wander around the periphery, then the huge wolf tide with the wolf king is the top existence in the Flash Forest, which can run rampant throughout the forest, and even those legendary overlords in the center of the forest must unconditionally retreat.
This is the majesty of the wolf king, this is the pride and dignity of the wolf king.
The wolves kept moving at a silent and uniform speed until they reached a small valley, and Diana, the wolf king who was walking in the front, suddenly raised her head and sniffed in the air, and then stopped. Behind
The wolves that followed the black oppression also stopped, and the eyes of all the giant wolves were fixed on the wolf king.
Diana stepped on the fallen leaves, spun around in place a few times, and let out a low roar. Hearing Diana's roar, the wolves dispersed in a very orderly manner, and most of them ran to both sides from the left and right sides, completely sealing the entrance to the valley in front of them. Diana looked to the left and right, licked her left hand with satisfaction, and raised her head to let out a long roar that shook the sky again. As if given an order, the wolves roared in unison with Diana, and then rushed into the valley without hesitation.
"They, they, they. Vivien stammered in surprise for a long time before rubbing her eyes and saying, "Are they going to attack the fox for us?"
"That's obviously it. Pannis shrugged and said, "Looks like we can save a lot of effort, and that's not bad." ”
"However, the venom gland fox is quite powerful, and there are quite a few of them, can the wolves outsmart them?" Vivien asked with some concern as she saw Lina rushing into the forest at the entrance of the valley with the wolves.
"Without the existence of the wolf king, the same number of wolves may not be able to win. Pannis replied, "But, now that the wolf tide has taken shape, there are no animals in the Flash Forest that can be their match." And the speed of the wolf is actually very fast, you can use the speed to avoid the range of venom, look at it, against more than seventy foxes, maybe the casualties of the wolf pack will not exceed ten. ”
"That's amazing. Vivien imagined for a moment the wolves all over the mountains pounced on her, and couldn't help but shudder: "Then should we go in and help?"
"No, it won't help you if you go in. Catherine stopped Vivien's impulse: "Let's just wait here, and Lina will come out when it's all over." ”
"Oops. Vivien suddenly exclaimed: "There are so many wolves, will the people we want to save be eaten by them by the way?"
"Uh, it should be...... No way. Pannis said with some uncertainty: "You see, we have not been attacked by the wolves, which means that Lina can completely restrain the wolves, and the same will probably be true for the group of people inside." ”
As he spoke, chaotic fighting and howling began to sound in the dense forest in front of him, and the entire forest was in chaos. Soon, the valley was filled with the screams of the venomous fox before they died, and it was clear that the wolves' attacks were not hindered in any way. The chaos lasted less than ten minutes before the screams began to subside and the noise slowly began to subside.
It wasn't until the forest had regained its silence that the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves resounded from the entrance to the valley. Diana had a lot of blood stains on her body, but she walked out of the dense forest like a wolf with a calm expression, and her expression and movements were calm and elegant for both wolves and people, which was pleasing to the eye.
Walking in front of the other three members of the adventure group, Diana stood up directly with her legs upright, licked the blood on her hands without any shreasmonia, and said with a smile to everyone: "It's over, the foxes are all gone." ”
"Thank you. Catherine said gratefully, "Actually, you don't have to ......."
"I know, and Lina told me it was just tracking. However, among the children, many of them have not been born for many years, and most of them have been driven to the outskirts of the forest, and even if I don't see them, I can feel the depression in their hearts. So I also took this opportunity to take the children to regain the dignity of the wolf pack, which is also conducive to the birth of a new wolf king. Diana turned her head and looked at the dense and silent wolves with a kind and doting gaze: "They are all brave and good children, and I believe that after this time, a new wolf king will soon be born in the Shining Forest." ”
The originally quiet wolves seemed to have gotten some bad premonition from Diana's gaze, and the head wolves of each wolf pack quickly walked out, surrounded Diana's feet, and let out a puppy-like wail in their throats, constantly rubbing Diana's legs affectionately with their bodies, and even gently biting her trouser legs, expressing the wolves' nostalgia for her with body language.
Diana smiled and wiped the corners of her eyes, crouched down and hugged each of the wolves one by one, stroking their fur vigorously before standing up again after a long time, and howling her head one last time. As if sensing the wolf king's determination, the first wolves arched Diana's feet with their heads in turn, whimpered and returned to the tribe, and after howling Diana, they quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest with the group, and there was no trace of them.
"It's over, and the kids will spread your smell to every corner of the forest. In recent years, as long as you don't actively attack the wolves in the Flash Forest, you will never be threatened by the wolves. Diana dusted off her hands, her gaze swept over the faces of her teammates, and finally landed on Pannis, glaring at him with a strange resentment from her elders, until she looked at him with a weak heart, and said gently, "It's time for me to leave, it's nice to meet you, and I hope to have a chance to say goodbye to you." ”
"I'm back. After a few seconds, Diana's unique wild aura faded instantly, and the familiar Lina reappeared in front of everyone.
