Only a small section of the bone was exposed, and when Nesta tried to dig deeper to reveal its full appearance, the tip of the claw was blocked by a relatively solid layer of stone.

He used the claws blessed by the spell-like spell, and it took a lot of effort to clasp away a little layer of stone, but what caught his eye was a small piece of corpse that had been almost completely preserved even with the fur.

Nesta and the rest of the Wind Wolves continued to dig in both directions, and the stone layer continued until there was a considerable regular aspect, and the lower part of the stone layer turned deeper, and finally they dug out a cube 2 meters high, 3 meters wide, and 5 meters long.

On the side of the cube, four mutilated claw bones can be seen extending from the inside;

The upper part, the side on which Nesta had begun excavation, occasionally revealed several curved fragments of damaged ribs.

In other words, most of the wolf's body was locked by a spell similar to turning mud into stone;

Only four claws, and a small part of the body were exposed, and they had withstood the erosion of time, and then turned into the same form he had seen before.

Nesta can imagine such a scene: the wolves attack the tribe, and the witch doctor holds a high-level magic crystal in his hand and imprisons the leader of the wolf pack at the cost of his own life.... Or one of the leaders.

But after that, the tribe still did not escape the fate of destruction.

Because as the excavation continued, more and more bones belonging to trolls also appeared in the dirt.

And, of course, there are more wolf bones.

'A tribe of trolls, which may be more than a thousand in size, is definitely not a weak force; Even 40 years ago, the teeth were only at this level, and they were already one of the top seven in the Black Forest. “

But such a tribe was destroyed by wolves...... What a terrible pack of wolves does this have to be? “

Something is wrong with the wolves here......

He had already been vaguely aware of this.

In the months he had been on the west bank of the Black River, he had seen almost no predators other than wolves, and the only ones he had dared to sneak around at night like lost dogs.

Almost all the areas that Nesta touched were the territory of the wolves, and it seemed as if it had become the land of the wolf species.

The site didn't bring much more information, but it was like a door opened, and as the westward expansion continued, new 'ruins' were learned.

The vast majority of these sites are the remains of a destroyed site;

Only a handful of them seem to have migrated to unknown distances before then, either surviving in other lands or being killed along the way.

Now, it doesn't matter if the ruins of the 'strong tribe' can be found or not, because he and Aishara already know the outcome.

In the west of the Black River, the wolves seem to have carried out a frenzied slaughter for some unknown reason more than three hundred years ago;

It was an organized, disciplined slaughter that wiped out many tribes of trolls whose power had never been concentrated.

This may be the true meaning of the 'Black Forest Punishment'.

But Nesta still didn't plan to go back, and the size of the wolves on the West Bank was enough to terrify him, and now he found that they could be organized.....

Who organizes it? Why exterminate the trolls here? Why is this just the case? If he didn't figure out these problems, he really couldn't dream of it.

Due to the discovery of the corpse of the superior wolf species, he and Azshara slowed down the expansion of the wolf pack, temporarily halting their sphere of influence in the current area.

Then, the couple divided their work again, with Azhara remaining here as the leader, while Nesta walked deeper into the jungle on her own, intending to get a glimpse of the upper wolf species.

Naturally, Eshara was against this proposal ....

However, since Nesta could not guarantee that he would be able to mate in the face of a more powerful superior wolf, a temporary separation became necessary.

'Don't other she-wolves!' Be careful to protect yourself! “

Before parting, Azhara carved this line on the ground with her paws, and then watched as Nesta made a promise.

Although the lone wolf is at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence, the speed of progress is not comparable to that of a large team.

Coupled with his food shorter than that of other wolves, in a wholehearted hurry, he ran out of the distance that he could only walk out of the previous half a month in just a few days.

Along the way, he encountered several wolf packs, both large and small, but Nesta did not subdue them, but after a beating, he asked for news of the 'superior species'.

At first, nothing was achieved, but as Nesta continued to advance, a certain wind wolf finally gave him a clear direction.

It was a galavanous wolf whose territory was right next to the superior wolf, and after three days of walking out of the way according to his guidance, he finally saw another pack of wolves.

But the leader was not the superior wolf he imagined, but just a wind wolf, and Nesta was puzzled and easily defeated it.

But the news he learned later surprised him, because this is also a 'split wolf', and there is actually a general leader above it!

In addition to the wolves led by their husband and wife, there is almost the same form of organization in the forest? This is unexpected, but it makes sense.

If not, how could the wolves have carried out that massacre three hundred years ago?

With this in mind, Nesta rearranged the known ranks of the wolves in her mind;

Ordinary wolf-wind wolf-giant wind wolf, this is information that has been known for a long time, and as for the upper species that he just learned, he was given the title of 'wind wolf lord'.

'Wind Wolf Lord... What will it look like? “

The doubt didn't last long, and a few days after he stepped into the territory, he was hesitating how to meet the 'lord' when a 'small' pack of wolves approached him following his unfamiliar scent.

In terms of size, this is indeed a 'small' group, with only 18 animals in total.....

However, 17 of them are giant wolves about the same size as Nesta and Azhara, and their leader is an exaggerated guy with a height of 2.2 meters at the shoulder and a length of 3.5 meters with a tail removed.

If you could call it 'giant,' what would it be called? “

At the first sight of it, Nesta already knew that he had to make an update to the benchmark for the definition of the size of the wolf-like creature.... He himself had to retreat to the 'big' and give up the 'big' to the big guy in front of him.

Nesta did not endure the expulsion or siege as he imagined, the Wind Wolf Lord first looked at him curiously, then at the Great Wind Wolf beside him, and then Nesta clearly felt its happiness.

Under Nesta's slightly nervous gaze, the lord slowly stepped forward and gradually approached;

It leaned over and circled around him to observe, sniffing left and right along the way, but fortunately it did not show any desire to attack, which reassured Nesta a little.

After a few moments, as if to finish his observations, the lord walked back in front of Nesta, raised his head and pointed his gaze diagonally downward, as if to say, 'Boy, what are you waiting for?' “

Nesta understood at this moment, this guy seems to think of himself as an outsider who has come to join the gang?

The satisfied look in his eyes before, as if he was recognizing his body type?

Then there is nothing to hesitate about ...

In order to learn more about the situation, Nesta learned the actions of his younger brothers and showed deference at the right time, and came with a wave of false conversions.

In fact, it's not that he didn't think about being anti-guest-oriented, the nature of the troll makes him extremely confident in terms of strength, but the lord is definitely not to be underestimated in terms of size;

Thinking of the trouble that the agility of the Giant Wind Wolf had brought to him, this guy in front of him might be even more exaggerated in this regard?

Therefore, he put up his mind in this regard for the time being, and planned to get a wave of intelligence first before talking about anything else.

As a result, Nesta became a member of the 'Lords' Elite Guard, and without any disadvantage, she smoothly integrated into the team.

In the eyes of the wolf lord, he may be a good helper with extremely strong strength, although his IQ is a little deficient (poor communication.....

The duties of the Lord's Elite Guard are primarily to drive away the sneaky competitors in the realm, who are mainly non-wolf-like other species;

These monsters are usually solitary and brave in individual combat, but they are weak in front of wolves.

In several operations, Nesta showed bravery, and he always recovered quickly while exchanging injuries for injuries, so he won the maximum satisfaction of the wolf lord and successfully became the 'upper wolf' in the elite team.

There is also a she-wolf who came up and wanted to form a partner, but was 'ruthlessly' rejected by Nesta, so he became the 'second fool' in the eyes of the rest of the wolves.

Time passed, and just as Nesta felt that her position was secure and wanted to start searching for information, the wolf lord suddenly led them out of the territory.

The wolves don't usually do this, but the rest of the wind wolves that Nesta saw had a look of surprise on their faces, so he silently followed the group, although he was puzzled.

The elite group left the territory and headed west, without any other wolves chasing them along the way;

On the contrary, he could occasionally see the rest of the wolves in the forest, all in the same direction.

These wolves are also led by 'lords', and they will howl at each other in a friendly manner when they meet.

In just over a month, Nesta had already encountered five such teams, which gave him a little more insight into the situation here.

A month later, Nesta, who was on his way, suddenly felt a powerful coercion, and the wind wolves in the team behaved extremely under this coercion, and they all stopped with their tails between their legs;

Even the wolf lord was affected, and it didn't seem to want to get too close there, so it led the team in a large arc and went around the border.

Nesta looked thoughtfully inside the 'border' and found that although it was also a green forest, it did not feel any animal 'life', and only some small insects could live there unnoticed.

At the same time, he himself also had a strange feeling other than 'coercion', and mentally seemed to be hinted at by some kind of 'avoidance' attribute, and he couldn't help but want to leave here far away.

And this feeling, of course, reminded him of the tribe's avoidance of exploration on the West Bank.....

If that's the case, then what is it that can spread its influence that far away? “

Nesta secretly made a note of this place, intending to come back with the team to see where the wolves were going.

The destination was soon reached, at the bottom of the mountains, and the sight in front of him was deeply shocking....

Thousands of giant wind wolves of his own size and more than a hundred wolf lords gathered here, forming an endless sea of wolves.

Not only that, but in the center of the Wolf Sea, there were twelve even bigger cyan guys lying in pairs.

They are nearly six meters long, about three meters tall at the shoulders, and have a strong chest width of 1.3 meters, with slender and powerful limbs, and a clear pride in their eyes.

These seem to be the real kings of the western bank of the Black Forest, creatures even more terrifying than the wolf lords.....

Nesta's team seems to be the latest to arrive;

The usually majestic lord was now running to one of the wolf kings, with his tail between his legs, and bowed his head as if to express his obedience.

But the wolf king didn't 'appreciate', and one of them slapped it away for more than ten meters, and then the wind appeared where it landed and bit the lord's scalp.

The lord didn't resist, it just spread its limbs and pressed against the ground and whimpered under a low voice.

The wolf king did not make a dead move, but after expressing his displeasure, he let it go, and turned back to the place where he had been, leaning on the other wolf king who seemed to be his companion.

When the lord came back in ashes, he secretly lost his temper and poured his anger on his men.....

After a night, the twelve wolf kings finally got up and howled, and then led thousands of powerful wolves towards the mountains not far away.

With her keen ears, Nesta heard the numerous wheezing sounds in the forest at the bottom of the mountain range, where there seemed to be nearly a thousand different kinds of magical beasts waiting.

He sensed that something was wrong, and then cautiously slowed down, falling to the end of the 'army', to see what was going on.

He didn't have to wait long for the purpose of the wolves to be revealed to him;

When the wolf king led the wolves into the mountains, the roars of the beasts came one after another, and a large number of demonic beasts belonging to the mountains attacked the wolves.

And the wolves were also not to be outdone, and with the wolf king and the wolf lords personally taking the lead, they bravely slaughtered into the enemy pack.

Nesta followed from afar, observing the situation from outside the battle.

The Giant Wind Wolf was very well organized, and soon began to be divided into batches and groups, under the leadership of some lord wolves, forming one encirclement after another, and fiercely launched a round of attacks;

And the wolf kings, with some lords, began to select targets in a targeted manner, and met those powerful demonic beasts that resembled big cats.

'It turned out to be war.....

The purpose of this trip was half accomplished, and Nesta did not intend to die for the wolves, so he took advantage of the wolf kings' attention to the hunting stalls, quietly groped out of the battlefield, and ran straight in the direction of the forest plain.

At this time, it was the time when the power of the wolf superior species in the forest was empty, and he wanted to seize this opportunity to explore the source of coercion.

Rushing back nearly twice as fast as he had come, Nesta quickly made his way through the various wolf colonies lacking superior guardians and touched the edge of the coercion zone.

When he got here, he knew he had to be cautious, who knows what kind of monster was inside.

He resisted the thought of leaving, and cautiously lay on his stomach, constantly testing in the direction of the most central part of the coercion.

A hundred meters, there is nothing to drive him;

Two hundred meters, still no obstacles.

300 meters, 400 meters... Although the sense of coercion and avoidance is getting stronger and stronger, there has never been any accidents.

Nesta's courage grew, and he got up and approached the core at a faster pace.

Finally, after about 3,000 meters, a bottomless cavern that stretched diagonally down into the middle of nowhere, appeared in front of him.

Nesta can be sure that everything originated here...

Flee? Or do you want to go in and find out? It's really a 'multiple-choice question' for him where there are no options.

The strength and number of wolves on the west bank of the Black River made Nesta make a preliminary judgment that whatever exists here should be inseparable from the wolves.

If you don't understand the joints, there will always be an invisible sword above the tribe's head that will fall at any point.

Therefore, he now has only one option: 'moving forward'.

Is it to stay in the wolf type? Or maybe restore the trolls? Nesta was momentarily hesitant to explore these two ways.

If there really is some kind of terrifying creature in it, then the extra combat power of his troll form does not seem to be enough to rely on to turn the tables;

On the contrary, the relatively weaker wolf form may become the only chance of life at that time.

With this in mind, Nesta did not change back, but went straight into the cave.

The inside of the cave is unusually wide, and the wind is always blowing from nowhere in the tunnels that extend in all directions, and the more you move towards the central area, the more powerful this inexplicable wind becomes.

Under the strong wind, Nesta gradually became more and more able to crawl and move forward a little, but fortunately there was nothing else to "make trouble", so it took him several hours to finally get close to the core area of his senses.

Turning a corner, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and a huge cave of at least tens of cubic meters appeared in front of him with a strange light.

In the center of the cave is a behemoth lying on its side.

It was a terrifying giant wolf, its body more than eleven meters long and more than six meters high, shining with blue and red light;

A fierce wind howled around it and poured out along the acupuncture tunnels that extended in all directions.

Nesta tried to see and listen more closely, the wolf's heartbeat was already vague, its breath was even more indiscernible than its size, and it seemed to be in some rather weak state?

Of the blue and red light on its body, only cyan seemed to be its true color;

And the red light was more like some kind of external energy like an appendage, suppressing Qingmang from beginning to end.

'It's hurt.... It was a very serious injury. Nesta made this judgment, and a stream of thoughts was unstoppable in his heart,

It must not be given a chance to recover! “

He wanted to do something, even to see if he could kill it directly.

With this in mind, Nesta began to approach, but perhaps because of the murderous intent or some other reason, the wolf's eyes opened as soon as he turned the corner and just took a few steps forward.

The eyes that were as sleepwalking as without a spirit made Nesta fall into an ice cave.....

He subconsciously activated the Wind Running Spell, and in an instant, he drilled into the corner and quickly moved away from the already strong wind in the cave.

Before he could move a hundred meters, a violent roar came from behind him, and a dark cyan wheal like a substance shattered several walls like a cannon, completely destroying the thirty-meter radius of the cave in the direction of Nesta.

In the bottomless darkness of the ruins, pain invaded every inch of his skin, and Nesta felt as if his whole body was shattered, and he couldn't exert the slightest strength;

Fortunately, the damage came from the rear, and it was a wide-area damage after being buffered by several walls, and he protected his head in time, otherwise it would be a matter of whether he would be alive at the moment.

The troll's self-healing power began to appear, and the broken bones were already repairing on their own, for fear that the guy chased out Nesta would not care about the pain at this time, and always paid attention to the movement above.

But after a while, there was no follow-up sound in the sensitive ear....

Nesta knew that he seemed to have escaped, but his body was healing at a high speed, but he felt a lot of distress.

When the bones were restored before, the stamina pool had been depleted to the bottom, and if it continued to heal in a lightless environment, it would be time to deplete its life force.

'Azara...."

Because of his previous experience during the operation, Nesta was ready to gamble on the 'heart-to-heart seal' of the meditation contract, so he immediately entered deep meditation and began to actively slow down the body's self-healing process except for blood vessels.

、~~~~~~~

In the East, Eshara felt a strong sense of unease the moment Nesta met the giant wolf's eyes, and then felt a pang of empathy when Nesta was seriously injured.

She immediately left the wolves behind and ran quickly in the direction her instincts had directed.

She didn't know what kind of danger her husband had encountered, and she didn't know if she could help in the past, but she was reluctant to rush day and night.

The Wind Walking Technique worked on her all the time, and Aishara's speed was getting faster and faster, and her body's absorption of sunlight could no longer keep up with the speed of energy consumption, even in the dark night, she did not stop to rest for even half a minute.

As a result, she gradually became thinner, and when she reached the place where her instinct had guided, her originally toned wolf body was almost skinny.

She reverted back to her 'troll' body and immediately began casting spells.

Ultrasound localization discovers Nesta's trail and senses that he is still alive; Vines stretched downward, stirring the dirt into the ruins.

The vines gradually touched Nesta, enveloping him little by little along the gap between his body and the rubble, and then quickly contracted upwards under Azhara's control.

In a few moments, the vines led Nesta upwards for tens of meters and reached the ground.

Azhara controlled the vines to stretch out, dragging her husband's tattered body to a place where the sun could shine.

Nesta, who was still in deep meditation, understood the change in the position of his body at the first time in the feeling of being recharged.

He finished meditating, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his wife's eyes of blame, anger, distress, and many other emotions, as well as her body, which had been so thin that it was almost completely deformed.

"Whew... Thank you for your hard work...," he said weakly.

Ignoring him, Azhara made sure her husband was okay, and she sat down in another area and began to regain her form.

Nesta had seen firsthand the attitude of the wolves towards the land, and knew that they didn't want to get too close to it because of the monster that existed underground... At least until the lord level;

So as long as the wolf kings don't return, this will become a rare safe area in the forest.

Therefore, the couple was quite relieved to recover here for a while.

Under the rays of the sun, Azara's body gradually regained its plumpness, and Nesta healed all her injuries in just a few days.

And their relationship, after Nesta's apology and assurances like a curse, finally returned to normal.

On the fifth day after Azhara arrived, the two of them reverted to wolf form again and began to return in the direction of the tribe.

The news that should be found here has been 'taken' by him at this time, and as for what to do with it in the future, we have to go back to the tribe and discuss a charter together.

It's a pity that the wolves that were subdued before were abandoned like this....

But after seeing the wolf king teach the lord the wolf like a dog, Nesta really didn't dare to take them back with him, as originally planned.

Even, even the existing wolves of the tribe are a little worried, if he has to fight with the wolf king on the west bank one day, will these guys become the leading party?

By the time they finally saw the Black River, nearly two months had passed.....

......

On the east bank of the Black River, trolls saw a naked Nesta and Azhara still in their wolf form from the fishing boat, and they cheered and rowed to the shore and brought them to the other side.

Savoring the sense of security that comes from returning to the tribe, the couple returns to the treehouse first;

Then, as soon as they had time to bathe and change their clothes, they hastily summoned all the witch doctors who were resident in the tribe and entered the council chamber to begin their deliberations.

Nesta explained the size of the wolf pack, its organization, and, most importantly, the underground 'monsters', and the witch doctors' faces became more and more solemn;

The two witch doctors, Fangs and Rough Fangs, also later stated the various events that happened during his absence from the tribe.

Among them, there is both good news and bad news.

First of all, the mission of the ship's teeth has ended;

He sailed all the way along the Black River, and finally successfully reached the tribe of the hornhoof, and established a preliminary relationship of trust between the two sides in the exchange;

The department's willingness to trade has also been conveyed in place, and it has also been welcomed by the other party.

Now, more fleets are being prepared to set off for the north as soon as supplies are in place.
