"Captain, they're going so fast. An hour later, the mercenaries in the rear had already begun to follow in the footsteps of the adventurers. But the mercenaries were surprised to find that the speed of the adventurers was much faster than before, and even if the mercenaries did not need to follow the faint traces like the adventurers, they could only barely catch up with the speed of the adventurers.

"Maybe something has changed. The high heel made it very difficult for Dora to move quickly through the pile of fallen leaves, and finally she had to take off her shoes, leaving only the sealed monitor lizard fur cloak still wrapped around her feet, which made it easier: "But there should be no danger, otherwise they will definitely stop." And the resonance crystal that the senior sister gave me did not react, indicating that they did not encounter a fight. Let's keep walking, I don't know how long it will take. ”

"Captain, are they reliable?" the gopher whispered as he leaned over to Dora. When I was with the adventure group before, in order to show the authority of Captain Dora, several silver-level mercenaries never asked the doubts in their hearts, and at this time, the four members of the adventure group were not there, and the gopher could finally ask Dora.

"The strength of each of the three golden ranks is not weaker than mine, and together with them, you can even face the legendary rank professionals head-on in a short period of time. Dora shrugged her shoulders and sighed with some envy: "As for the remaining silver, forget it, it's too weird, so I won't evaluate it." ”

"I don't mean power. The gopher looked at Erad, who was silently leading the way, and lowered his voice and said, "I mean, are they really responsible companions......?

"If there is only one person I can trust in the world, it must be Senpai. Dora said, "It has nothing to do with personal relationships, anyone who knows Catherine as a person will think so, just as people would trust Kyle and Nelly unconditionally a hundred years ago." What's more, they are the best reputation team in the Nelly Adventure Group, the adventurer's guild, and this reputation does not refer to the completion of the mission, but to their sense of responsibility and attitude. So, if something goes wrong, it's only because there's something they can't handle, and it's never because they're not responsible. Remember this, and you don't need to worry about this kind of thing anymore. ”

"Whew~~~~~~~~~~~~~" A terrible and high-pitched wolf howl suddenly sounded from some distance ahead. The loud howl was extremely penetrating, and even in the dense forest, it still clearly spread in all directions, reaching into the invisible distance. The wolf howls not just once, but like a tsunami, the sound waves brought by the howl are layered on top of each other, and the cascades make the howls louder and farther. Even though they were far away, the mercenaries still felt as if the thunderous howl was coming from their ears, and everyone subconsciously frowned, enduring the discomfort caused by the vibration of their eardrums.

The guide Elard, who led the way at the front and never stopped, suddenly stopped when he heard the sudden wolf howl, and looked into the distance with a somewhat ugly face, but at the end of his gaze, there were only layers of dense forests, and nothing else could be seen.

"Mr. Elard. Dora noticed that Elard's expression was wrong, and asked slightly uneasy, "Why did the wolf howl suddenly appear? Did it come from Catherine's side?

"I don't know, it should be their direction, but it doesn't have to be encountered. The young Erad wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied with some nervousness: "However, this howl is very special. ”

Dora didn't speak, looking at Ellad and waiting for him to continue explaining.

"It's the wolf king's howl. "A very unique call," Elad affirmed. ”

"Wolf King?" Dora asked, confused, "Are you referring to a wolf?"

"No, it's not the head wolf, it's the wolf king. Eladh was impatient, but explained: "There are many wolves in the forest, dozens of large ones, and even less than ten small ones, and each wolf pack has a wolf head, but often in an area of several thousand square kilometers, it is possible to have only one wolf king, the king of all the wolves in this area. It's strange, there hasn't been a wolf king in this area for decades, how could one suddenly appear?"

"Is the wolf king scary?" Dora asked, "Why does it make you so nervous?"

"The strength of the wolf king is very powerful, but it is not difficult to escape when encountered, because the wolf king is often a lone wolf. "But the wolf king can gather a large number of wolves, and this becomes terrifying. ”

"It doesn't matter. Dora patted Elad's arm, "We'll keep you safe." ”

"You guys?" Elad pouted, and said in a somewhat distrustful tone, "I know that you are all high-level professionals and very strong, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to protect yourself at that time." ”

"Why?" said Dora, surprised.

"If the wolf king calls out to the wolves, all the wolves around him will respond. Elad looked around very uneasily, but he didn't dare to move forward easily, for fear of hitting the wolves head-on, so he had to stand in place and said: "There are one or two hundred large and small wolves distributed in the vicinity of thousands of square kilometers, even if they are too far away and may not be heard, with the penetrating power of the wolf king's howl, at least more than ten wolves can be called, and there will be hundreds, and they are not ordinary wolves, they are all demonic beasts." ”

Dora was stunned, she knew that the wolves in the forest were basically bronze and silver-level wolf demons, but the silver-level wolves accounted for at least one-third, thinking that she might be besieged by hundreds of such magical beasts, even with her gold-intermediate strength, she couldn't help but feel numb on her scalp.

The terrible wolf howl sounded again, and the penetrating power ~~~~~~~~of the sound even exceeded the first howl.

"Let's go. Elad looked relieved, and immediately took another step: "Listen to the sound is heading away from this direction, it doesn't seem to be coming for us, get out of here quickly." ”

"Woo ~~~~~~~" In the distance, there was a faint howl, which seemed to echo the call of the wolf king.

"Sure enough, it was the call of the wolves. Elad hurriedly followed the footsteps of the adventuring group, and even the exploration was not as detailed as before: "Although it is not coming from this side, I am afraid that the wolves who will respond to the call will catch up from behind, so be careful." ”

In times of urgency, time always flies. An hour passed in a hurry. Within an hour, wolf howls continued to come from all directions, and judging from the direction and position, at least eight or nine wolves responded to the wolf king's call and were rushing to this side. The howls of wolves around him were getting closer, but luckily, Elard's fears didn't come true, and no wolves chased after the mercenaries from behind.

However, what Elad and the mercenaries didn't know was that everything was quite different from what they had imagined at the distance of fifteen minutes ahead.

The four members of the adventure group traveled very fast, and Diana, who was at the front, seemed to have no need to explore the way at all, and could avoid all the mud traps and dangerous snakes and insects by instinct, and walked even faster on all fours than the other three, and the swing of her body was very coordinated, as if she was completely a wolf disguised as a human, this contradictory feeling made the other three people cry and laugh.

Not caring at all about the stunned eyes of the other three, Diana kept letting out a wolf howl that was almost terrifying along the way, and it was hard to imagine that such a loud sound could come from Lina's originally slender body. Others were also quick to hear the response from afar, and as the distance continued to close, the response became louder and louder.

"That's, Diana...... Sister. Vivien was also keenly aware of Diana's specialness, and had seen Lina's friends borrow her body to help before, but she had never felt like this time, as if in front of Diana, Vivien and Catherine both felt the same ...... Restraint is like the feeling of restraint when a child meets a friend's parents when he is playing with his friends. This strange feeling made Vivien awkward at the same time, but also had an inexplicable novelty envy: "Are you calling for a companion?"

"That's right. Diana was obviously very fond of Vivien as well, and did not always stare at Vivien with a very strange gaze as she did with Pannis, but said to Vivien very gently: "A real wolf likes to win by numbers. ”

"But, but. Vivian's immature face wrinkled, and she reluctantly asked in as tactful a way as possible, "But, sister, don't be angry, do you really have a companion?"

"Hahaha. Diana didn't get angry, but laughed happily: "Companions don't need to have contact with it, our wolves' obedience and support for the wolf king are imprinted in the deepest part of the bloodline, no matter where it is, no matter what kind, there will be no change." ”

As a human being, Vivien obviously had a hard time understanding Diana's description, but she couldn't continue to ask, so she had to think alone.

"Actually, that's not what you're asking. Diana smiled as she walked, "Actually, you want to ask, I don't really exist, why can I summon companions? ”

"Hey, hey. Vivien embarrassedly clutched her soft hat on her head, smirking to hide her embarrassment.

"Actually, I don't know why. Diana naturally raised her right hand and licked it, and shook her body vigorously: "However, Cateria once said that we don't exist but we exist this kind of nonsense to explain our situation, and their god-serving guys always speak so inexplicably, anyway, I don't understand." Whatever it is, as long as it actually works, that's enough, right? Listen, they're coming. ”

"Whew~~~~" The wolf howl came from a very close position, and a few seconds later, a huge silver-level black wolf that stood upright and even exceeded the height of a human was the first to walk out from the depths of the dense forest, its black fur was as smooth as silk, its sharp teeth were sharp and neat, and its two green eyes were wide open, and he looked at the female wolf king in front of him who was completely different from his imagination with a curious and suspicious look.

Behind the huge head wolf, about thirty black wolves came out of the dense forest, obviously weaker than the head wolf, but also exuding a bloodthirsty and ferocious aura.

"Roar. Diana seemed to have completely transformed into a real wolf, letting out a terrifying growl from the depths of her throat, and walking towards the black-headed wolf with the characteristic steps of a wolf.
