The three Deans returned to the tribe and told the priest who was standing in front of the statue of Curti to pray.

The priest brushed the crow feather above his head, "My messenger has turned the mine upside down, and no missing soldier has been found. ”

"There are at least three superpowers hiding near the mine, and one of them has the ability to shield perception," Dean recalled the images he saw during the search, "It took me five attempts to find out where the Red-bellied Eagle was, but it alarmed them. ”

"A small squad of superpowers? It seems that the mayor and sheriff denounced us to the government. The priest sighed, "Are the Grey Shadow Four also locked up there?" ”

"Not sure, I can't see them." Dean replied.

"But who are these kidnappers?" Asuka glanced at the three people present, his face indignant, "The tribe has never hurt or offended anyone, why did you capture our warriors?" ”

"There is no why, this is the attitude of the government, which regards the shapeshifters as aliens, monsters and thorns in the side, no matter how low-key and forbearant we are, once they find out about us, they will find a reason to attack until they completely expel us from this world, or enslave us."

The priest's melted golden eyes swept over the torch on the cave wall, and the perception spanned ten miles in an instant.

A crow fluttered its wings and flew across the sky, its dark pupils sweeping over the foothills surrounded by greenery.

Transporters, huge excavation machinery, and the roar of excavation are the mines under construction.

The number of crows continued to grow, circling around the perimeter of the mine, and pairs of dark eyes repeatedly scanned.

Two hundred meters south of the mine, on the edge of a mountain rock, a red truck was abruptly exposed, hidden in a transparent air barrier.

"I was hiding here."

The priest rubbed his swollen temples, and the shadows cast on the ground began to swell and deform, and sharp animal patterns appeared on his tense cheeks, and flames burned in his golden pupils.

He strode out of the cave, his wolfskin coat slid to the ground, revealing a thick pile of gold mixed with white, his figure rising higher, and in the blink of an eye, the crest of crow feathers on his head pressed against the three-meter-high ceiling.

Dean stared at the massive, terrifyingly destructive wolf form, almost blinded by the white light, holding her breath.

The priest's deep voice roared like thunder, through the cave and into the outside world.

"All warriors, get ready to go!"

"The rest stay!"

In the twilight sunset, every coyote tribe stopped what they were doing, stood up respectfully, twisted their necks with protruding green tendons and veins, and let wisps of gray, black, and earthy red fuzz dig out of their skin, distorting their muscles and bones.

Whew—

Whew—

Blood-boiling wolf howls echoed each other, and warriors draped in thick fur dragged their glittering claws and gathered outside the tribal gates—

The old and infirm gathered at the front, the young in the center, and the tallest and most ferocious werewolves stood at the back with the priests.

Dean and Cayden, who had left the cave, stared at the scene in front of them, and only felt that things had turned out more than they expected.

"The wolf howls and sacrifices, and the tribe attacks so impulsively, without discussing a countermeasure in advance? We don't know anything about the capabilities of the enemy, the number of them. ”

"The red-bellied eagle has lost its ability to heal itself, it is not far from death, it can't wait that long, and the murderer is also aware of your prying eyes, and may retreat at any time. We can only negotiate on the way to the attack. The priest's claws were folded in front of his chest, his blade-like nails rubbing against each side, pulling out a large spark that reflected the surging desire to fight in the golden vertical pupils.

Dean poured a bucket of cold water with a calm expression,

"But if you deal with that group of people in a big way, it will inevitably cause a strong chain reaction and attract the attention of stronger beings, and how do you plan to deal with the aftermath when the time comes."

"Humanity has put its foot on our heads, and several of our compatriots are being tormented and suffering by them, and if they continue to tolerate it, the tribe will lose all wildness and cohesion." With that, the priest ignored him and turned to an old woman with white hair.

And Asuka had bloodshot eyes, fangs showing, and a Dao beast pattern growing on his sweet face, "Kaiden, come along, gallop wild in battle, or stay and watch home?" ”

Kayden was silent,

"I see, you haven't awakened for a long time, you haven't experienced fierce battles, and it's safer to stay." The bird turned its head and without hesitation ran to the team outside the fence on all fours, as strong as a female leopard.

"Don't think too much about it, we're only here to find the Grey Shadow, and we don't need to participate in such a dangerous battle." Dean patted Kayden's shoulder, but saw that the other party shook his head suddenly, recalling what he had seen and heard along the way, and a sickly blush appeared on his cheeks,

"This is my Grey Shadow tribe, my hometown... There is a group of people who have the same blood as me," Cayden's teeth chattered, but his eyes grew more determined as he stared at the wolves at the tribe's gate, "I can't sit idly by!" ”

Whoop -

Cayden tore his shirt apart, propped his feet on the ground, and leaped into the air, letting out a beastly scream in midair, his swollen body turning into a wolf shape and pounced on the black crowd.

Whew—

A pair of passionate wolf claws slapped his body.

"The right choice, half-breed boy! Only by spilling blood for the tribe can we grow! ”

"You have inherited the courage of Grey Shadow, and I admit that you are a member of the coyote tribe!"

"You didn't disappoint me!" Asuka came to him and cast an appreciative look through the mane in front of his forehead, "We'll talk about it when the battle is over!" ”

An impassioned voice grabbed everyone's attention.

The golden wolf, which is more than three meters tall and has every bulging muscle full of explosive power, holds its head high, and loudly announces to everyone,

"Brothers and sisters of the tribe, from the time we were born, we faced a battle, a struggle between human bestiality, peace and violence.

We have always chosen peace.

But now the human beings we respect regard our forbearance as weakness and incompetence, shamelessly kidnap our siblings, stand against us, launch provocations, and declare war on us! ”

"We have no choice!"

Bang!

The priest picked up the skin drum under his feet and struck it heavily, and the loud sound of the drum was inspiring.

"To the east, ten miles outside the Ozark Mountains, rescue our brothers, kill all these invaders, and leave no one behind!"

……

There was a loud sound of footsteps.

A pair of ghostly vertical pupils flickered.

The warriors rushed to the eastern side of the forest, and along the way, their fellow comrades patrolling among the bushes rushed out, joined the group, and gathered around the flank, forming a mighty and rushing torrent.

The old and weak women and children of the left-behind tribes prayed in Maya, and some played the ocarina, blowing a distant and tragic sound.

A gleam flashed in Dean's eyes, and his figure shot into the air, flying and trailing.

……

The Ozark Mountains, to the east, ten miles away.

At the foot of the mine.

The inside of a large truck covered in energy and hidden in the air.

"I look like someone has blasted me!" The lean woman in jeans and a gray hoodie tugged up her neckline, her golden nose ring and hoop earrings shining under the hood, and chewing gum in her mouth. "I'm 60 percent sure that someone spied on me just now."

"Who?" Another strong Asian man over two meters tall with a black explosive head asked, the bulging muscles in his chest and back almost pulling open the buttons of his suit.

"Do muscles eat away at the brain, can't you think of it? The coyote warriors and civilians don't have the ability to peer at a distance, so the only thing that observes us is their howling priests. A middle-aged man in a black leather jacket and leather pants, with red hair in a ponytail and a scruffy chin and beard, said, "But we can play them on coyote territory for two weeks." ”

"Not enough!" A fourth slender, pale blond young man emerged from the air and said in a snake-like voice, "The army of reinforcements has not yet arrived, and it is too difficult for the four of us to resist the coyote tribe with the strength of the four of us." I recommend that you evacuate the mine immediately, otherwise you may be in danger. ”

"When did you become so timid, the last time I was sucked by a sucker big octopus in the countryside and I haven't recovered yet?" The red ponytail stared at the blonde young man and shook his head and smiled, a purple current flashed in his eyes, "Let's retreat, in case this group of bloodthirsty monsters also moves, won't the big fish that we finally caught slip away?" ”

"Or are you satisfied that they will run to the dog town in a frenzy to take revenge, torture and torture those innocent townspeople, and make the blood flow like a river?"

"I didn't mean that!"

The blonde young man hung his head, his eyes showing hatred deep into his bones,

"According to me, there is no need to run away," the strong man with the explosive head pinched the knuckle of his right finger, and the air crackled crisply, so strong that the platinum light overflowed his skin, and the skin instantly ossified to form a hard calcareous bone plate, arranged in nail pieces, covering the whole body, like a hard and thick plate armor,

"There are no alpha wolves in this group of Mexican monsters, they can't invoke the divine power of Curti, at best, they are just a bunch of reckless men with empty brute strength. If they want to send them to the door, I will crush them with my own hands! ”

"Makes sense, but it can't affect the lovely workers in the mines." The hooded nose ring woman spat out the gum in her mouth, and a burst of brilliant brilliance swirled in the air, and a small piece of chewing gum swelled into a man with a serious face in blue overalls in the blink of an eye, and the man pushed open the door of the truck and walked out, and then less than two minutes later.

Rushing footsteps came.

A tall, middle-aged white man with black hair in a thick trench coat and a middle-aged Indian in a police uniform with a cowboy hat followed the man in overalls into the carriage.

The red ponytail smiled at the two of them and looked at the werewolf who had passed out on the wall,

"Mayor Gavier, Sheriff Yusef, I have bad news for you, the werewolves on the mountain have discovered our secret operation and may storm the mine at any time to rescue this monster, for safety, you should immediately gather the workers to leave the mine and enter Fort Smith to avoid the limelight."

The two men looked at each other when they heard this, "Four honorable sir, we will evacuate the workers, but please allow the two of us to stay and watch the battle." ”

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Red Ponytail looked at the two of them with interest, "Once the war starts, we won't be able to protect you. ”

"Listen to me," said the fat sheriff, heartbroken and sincere,

"For hundreds of years, these monsters have occupied our fertile mountainous areas, countless gold and silver mines, natural resources, forbidden our Christian faith, even the number of townspeople has been severely limited, and recently the plague has spread to turn my fellow citizens into raw flesh-eating monsters, they are more insatiable than the devils of hell, the skies of the town are dim under their shadows, and my parents and grandparents have been humiliated and died under their evil halos."

His eyes were red,

"We want to see their end with our own eyes, and we will not hesitate to pay with our lives, so that our ancestors in our graves can rest in heaven and our children and grandchildren can have true freedom and a bright future."

The woman with a red ponytail, a blonde man, an explosive head, and a nose ring exchanged a look when she heard this.

If this group of townspeople had not been controlled and tortured to the point of desperation, they would not have spent a lot of money, and they went through a lot of hardships, reported layer by layer, and spent five years contacting the special operations department of the Ministry of Defense.

"Five minutes, go evacuate the workers, you two stay."

"Yes, sir!"

The two men disappeared, and the woman with the nose ring hooked her hand at the man in the overalls at the door, and the other party instantly turned back into a piece of chewing gum and flew back into her mouth.

She grinned and hugged the shoulders of the two companions on the left and right, one of whom made a lip print, and a crazy light flashed in her eyes,

"Let's discuss a plan, brothers, how to deal with those monsters, they have a hundred and fifty-six of them, oh no, we have caught one, and there are one hundred and fifty-five left, and if you just let the stone be smashed with your fist, you won't be able to smash it with your hand."

"Smack!"

"Ass itch again, little witch." The exploding head slapped the nose ring girl's ass hard, "What do you mean I smash my fist?" Believe it or not, I'm going to make your legs tremble and you can't stand up right now? ”

The nose ring girl bit her lip, blinked her watery eyes, and raised her chin defiantly at him,

"Come back to your senses, don't be in heat everywhere, coyotes can't all be dispatched, at most fifty or sixty warriors." A flash of electricity shot out of the red ponytail's sharp eyes, startling the eyes of the two, "By the way, let's discuss now that we won't be spied on by the priests, right?" ”

"Don't discharge indiscriminately, I don't feel like I'm being hard, there is no fifth pair of eyes now... Alright, alright, poisonous mist, give us a layer of insurance..."The nose ringed the woman winked at the blonde man, who snorted lightly.

The contours of the four people in a circle suddenly became soft and squirming like a wave of water, and then merged into the current and became transparent, completely disappearing into the air.

"Wait, the guy on the wall has collected all the body fluids, flesh, and hair samples, and it's already a waste, right? Let's do it again? ”

In mid-air, a small white hand with black nails suddenly stretched out, and several small black seed-like things floated out of the palm of the palm, flying to the limbs and heart of the red-bellied eagle locked on the back wall of the truck, and burrowed into it like a tick.

It bulges abruptly under the skin and swells in the shape of a heart.

Puff puff beat twice, black veins spreading along the heart and toward the limbs.

In the blink of an eye, cobwebs spread all over his body, and then suddenly disappeared.

Brush –

The red-bellied eagle, whose breath was dying, suddenly opened its eyes, and its red vertical pupils turned into pitch black, cold and inhumane.

"Giggles, the surprise is ready, werewolf hide and seek is about to begin!" The woman's sickly excited voice rang out, "Little Red Riding Hood, hide quickly." ”

……

The other side.

Dean flew with the coyote tribe for an hour.

The fiery clouds on the horizon fell, the night fell, and the moon had not yet risen.

On a hillside overgrown with thistles, the golden wolf shadow man at the back of the team stood up and beat the drum of the skin, letting out a roar, and the team of dozens of people that had been running in the mountains and forests suddenly dispersed into a dozen small teams.

The werewolves' fluffy bodies underwent strange changes, blending into the surrounding trees, shrubs, and soil, including Cayden's body, gradually disappearing until they became completely invisible.

The wolves silently dispersed to the foot of the mountain in the distance, and Dean followed them from afar, looking down from the sky, and was surprised to find that the mines at the foot of the mountain were completely different from the busy scene before, the lights were out, it was dim, and all the machines stopped running, as quiet as a graveyard.

But a few hundred meters to the south, the big red truck is abrupt and eye-catching.

The red-bellied eagle is inside!

Dean was about to rush over when a strange fragrance wafted into his nose, and his drunk, suspended body trembled suddenly, his mind lost his balance dizzily, his eyes narrowed, the scene overlapped, and the darkness quickly hit, and the world began to spin, blur, and dissolve.

But the strange feeling was only for a moment, the iron man's specialty in the panel radiated a dazzling light, and the life energy turned into a stream of heat that swept through his body, and Dean woke up from his dizziness.

The wind blew in his face—a fist wrapped in earthy brown scales enlarged infinitely in his pupils.
