According to Kyle, they could exterminate the wolf pack if the alpha wasn’t present.
However, the alpha wolf’s strength was not clear at the moment, and there was no information about it.
After thinking for a while, Su Chen made a decision in his heart. No matter what, he would first send the Glimmer Knights to try to exterminate it.
At that time, he could watch the battle on the omniscient map in real-time. He should try his best to eliminate the ordinary forest wolves first. When he fought the alpha wolf, he could also gain an understanding of the alpha wolf’s combat strength.
After all, Su Chen did not know anything about the alpha wolf’s strength at the moment.
The city’s defensive magic array should be used as sparingly as possible. Magic stones were precious for one thing, but more importantly, he understood that this kind of treasure could attract unnecessary trouble.
In this chaotic world, even the king did not have the time to care about a small, remote place like this. If a powerful lord targeted him for this kind of precious defensive magic array core, he was afraid that it would also put his own safety in jeopardy.
After communicating with Kyle, Su Chen decided to summon the Glimmer Knights and launch an attack on the wolf pack.
The town was about an hour away from the place where the forest wolves were found in the gravel ridge. To be on the safe side, Su Chen decided to move to the edge of the gravel ridge and summon them again. He would have more time.
It was noon. Usually, the wolf pack would be napping at this time. A sudden attack could catch them off guard.
Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately went downstairs and found the red horse he had ridden before. He first went to the hunter’s house in the town to get some medicine powder that could cover up his scent, then, he left the west gate of the town alone and walked toward the gravel ridge.
..
In the dense forest deep in the gravel ridge.
The tall and dense branches and leaves of the trees covered the sky, like a huge umbrella that covered the sun. Only spots of light leaked out from the gap in the middle, flickering along with the swaying of the branches.
Rustling sounds came from the depths of the forest. A swift gray shadow flashed through the bushes. The spiky branches brushed past its body but were blocked its fur, leaving it unharmed.
The figure that was slowly moving slowed down. The warm sunlight shone through the leaves and onto its face. A big tail behind it swung casually and it yawned.
It was a forest wolf.
Two sharp fangs protruded from its jaws. The curve inside allowed it to better bite its prey.
These wolves originally lived in the deeper part of the gravel ridge. Some time ago, when their alpha passed by this forest, he accidentally found a small piece of naturally growing magic plant — the silver bell flower.
Magic plants were a kind of plant born from absorbing the magic elements in the world. There was no way to artificially cultivate them. Usually, their roots, branches, or fruits had great uses.
The small silver bell flower that grew here could absorb the wind elements in its branches and leaves. Its entire body was silver-white, and there were countless apertures between the leaves. When a strong breeze passed by, the wind elements in the leaves would resonate and emit a tinkling sound, just like a bell. That was why it was called the silver bell flower.
The silver bell flower grew continuously throughout the four seasons. The longer it grew, the clearer and more melodious the tinkling sound would sound, and the wind element energy contained within it would become more and more abundant.
They were wind-type magical creatures themselves. The silver bell Flower could help the forest wolves learn their wind blade skills faster, which was a good thing for the forest wolves.
From then on, the alpha wolf moved its pack near the silver bell flower, guarding this magical plant that was a treasure to them.
This forest wolf that kept yawning was the one that attacked the guards in the morning.
Its companions had already lazily taken a nap, but because it had ambushed a human in the morning, it was still a little excited.
However, after the humans evacuated in the morning, it did not find any more prey. Now, sleepiness began to attack it.
It leaned against the huge tree roots and yawned continuously. The sleepiness caused its eyelids to become heavier and heavier.
At the north side of gravel ridge.
Su Chen had already arrived at the perimeter of gravel ridge. He applied the hunter family’s powder all over himself and then applied it to the horse he was riding on, especially its hooves.
He did not directly summon the Glimmer Knights around him. Instead, he took a detour and arrived in the opposite direction of Lake Town. This was something that he had carefully considered.
If he could not kill the alpha wolf today, the alpha wolf would definitely attack the village. When the time came, he would follow the tracks he had left to seek revenge in the town. It would be very troublesome to deal with it, attacking from another direction could also confuse and delay him for a period of time.
Su Chen pulled the reins of the red horse and stopped at the edge of the forest. He summoned the Glimmer Knights. Kyle led a group of extraordinary knights and saluted Su Chen in unison,
“Greetings, master!”
“Get up. Your enemy is the jungle wolf here. Go clear it in 10 minutes. I hope you can bring me good news.” Su Chen rode on the horse and pointed in the direction of the depths of the gravel ridge, then, he squeezed the belly of the horse with his legs and urged it to quickly return to Lake Town.
The Glimmer Knights could “resurrect”, and he was clear about his current strength. He could not deal with the fierce attacks of a pack of forest wolves, not to mention that if the alpha wolf appeared, he would not be able to run in time.
Therefore, before the real fight began, Su Chen decided to slip away first. He rode the red horse and sprinted toward the town. At the same time, he used his spiritual sense to peek at the omniscient map, first, he adjusted his field of vision to the vicinity of the orderly and solemn glimmer knights outside the gravel ridge.
Su Chen rode the horse at full speed for about ten minutes. He had also run some distance away from the gravel ridge. He thought that it was about time, so he divided his mind and made sure that the horse was heading toward the town, at the same time, he began to stare at the scene on the omniscient map.
Kyle had already led all the twilight knights to slowly sneak into the edge of the forest.
They advanced in the sparse and tall trees. Since they had not entered the depths of the forest, there were only a few low berry shrubs on the periphery. Their field of vision was wide. As they continued to move deeper into the forest, they also found some traces of paw prints.
“Shh, don’t make a sound.”
Just as Kyle turned around to warn them, a Hlimmer Knight slipped and broke a dry branch. A loud crackling sound was emitted, which was ear-piercing and abrupt in the silent forest.
A forest wolf was dozing behind a patch of shrubs. Its originally drooping ears immediately perked up and turned in the direction of the sound. It sniffed forcefully and opened its long and narrow eyes..
