Xu Hang started the magic four-wheeled car. As the headlights in front lit up, they saw more than ten pairs of green eyes.
Was it the demon wolves?
After experiencing the Beast Tide, Xu Hang was somewhat familiar with such beasts.
However, the demon wolves in the Beast Tide were mindless. They only knew how to keep moving forward.
“Looks like this is what was following us!”
“Master, should we ignore or take care of them?” Hill asked.
“Since they’ve been stalking us, let’s go and greet them! It just so happens that the Elven Queen had asked me to retrieve something that’s in their hands!”
Xu Hang was very displeased that the demon wolves had been following him for so long.
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and rammed into a couple of the demon wolves.
The demon wolves flopped on the ground like fishes out of water.
Although the magic four-wheeled car could travel at a high speed, the uneven roads in the forest significantly slowed them down. In fact, they were slower than the demon wolves.
“Master, something is wrong. The demon wolves are not running away at all. Instead, it looks more like they’re…”
“Luring us!”
Xu Hang exclaimed.
“Yes!”
“Wolves are very smart. They’re not particularly strong. So, in order to hunt for more food, they learned to work together. ”
“For example, they would scare a sheep into running some distance. They won’t eat the sheep. When other predators decide to hunt this sheep, then that predator will become the food to the wolves instead.”
“These wolves had been following us to attract our attention. After attracting our attention, they baited us towards their direction. Even if we were slow, they would wait for us to catch up.”
“There must be quite a number of wolves in this forest. If my guess is right, there should be a wolf’s den up ahead.”
Xu Hang analyzed the situation calmly.
“Master, then do we still follow them?”
Hill was a little confused.
“Of course. They have no idea how strong we are!”
After Xu Hang finished his sentence, he paused for a moment.
“I mean they don’t know how strong the three of you are. Hahaha.”
“Master, without you, we wouldn’t be here today. You’re the reason why we became stronger. We’re willing to serve you forever!”
Shadow said in a clear voice.
“That’s right!” added Shan Feng.
“Okay, then let us get going!”
Xu Hang continued to drive forward.
A bad stench began to envelop the air.
It smelled like a bunch of garbage mixed with beast odor.
“We’re almost there. Be on guard!”
“Yes, Master!”
The demon wolves lured them to an empty space in the dense forest.
It was quite spacious and there was even a small river nearby.
“I think their nest is at the upstream of this river,” said Xu Hang.
Dozens of demon wolves appeared.
They surrounded Xu Hang and his group.
“Master, how do you know that their nest is at the upstream of this river?”
Hill looked at Xu Hang with a longing gaze.
Xu Hang shook his head and said, “All living beings need water to survive. For example, remember the natural lake near the Elven Queen’s cave?”
“We’ve driven for a long time but so far, we only found one river. If you were one of the wolves living in this forest, where would you build your nest?”
“Naturally, by the water’s edge. However, why is it upstream and not downstream?”
“Wolves like places with slightly higher terrains. It’s because they have a habit of howling at the moon. That’s why, I’m sure that their nest is on the hill, upstream of this river!”
“Master, you’re so wise! I still have one question though…”
Both of them began to chat amongst the countless demon wolves.
The sight made the wolves a little angry.
Without wasting any time, they charged towards Xu Hang and his group.
The demon wolves could sense that Xu Hang was the weakest, so most of them focused on him.
All three farmers immediately surrounded Xu Hang, forming a triangle.
Shan Feng did not attack the wolves unless they attempted to hurt Xu Hang.
The demon wolves bit Shan Feng but they could not even leave a tooth mark.
As for Hill and Shadow, every time they attacked, at least three demon wolves were sent flying.
It was a one-sided battle.
Even Xu Hang could not bear the sight.
“Hill, Shadow, be gentle. Don’t kill them. Our goal is to go and see if their boss had anything to do with the Beast Tide. Additionally, we need to look for the Elven Queen’s pendant.”
“Yes, Master.”
Hill held back and gently shoved the wolves away instead.
“Get into the car. We’re heading upstream!”
Xu Hang ordered.
They got into the magic four-wheeled car and slowly broke free from the wolves’ encirclement.
The demon wolves were left behind. They did not bother chasing Xu Hang and his group anymore either.
Soon, Xu Hang was able to see the mountain range at the end of the river from a distance.
There was a gust of wind and the moon was shining brightly.
“The moon is so round today. Around this time on Earth, it should be the mid-autumn festival. I want to eat mooncakes.”
Xu Hang was somewhat emotional.
Suddenly, he had a bad premonition.
Atop the mountain was a demon wolf more muscular than any other demon wolves that Xu Hang had encountered.
“Awooooooooooooo…”
Xu Hang’s eyes almost fell off their sockets.
The demon wolf had mutated. Under the moonlight, it had turned into a werewolf!
