Although what they said was very convincing, most hunters had only seen the wolves from the Wolf Territory a few times, let alone the extremely cautious Lei Ze.
"Mr. Duraf, what are people talking about?" Xiangling listened to everyone's conversation for a while, but couldn't hear anything, so she asked Duraf directly.
"They were discussing the legend of the 'wolf child'. I didn't expect that the wolves in the Wolf Territory would actually raise human children." Duraf looked at the ferocious Lei Ze not far away, with a little shock in his eyes.
"A child raised by wolves?" Xiangling looked at Lei Ze who was wearing a tattered coat, wondering what he was thinking.
Lei Ze is very sensitive to people's gazes, which is a result of his experience in hunting and also because he cares about other people's gazes.
Whether it's human or wolf.
When he was a child, he found that other wolves in the wolf pack looked at him differently from other wolves, and he was afraid of this look.
Fortunately, after hunting again and again, he gained the recognition of the wolf pack, and the look that frightened him also became a memory.
But now, that gaze returned to him. Lei Ze took a few steps back in fear. He just wanted to return to the wolf pack and to Lupica.
"Boom!"
The loud sound of metal clashing interrupted everyone's conversation. They came to their senses and looked at the embers hitting the breastplate with some confusion.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen tickling before?" Yu Jin patted his chest armor, not paying any attention to the gazes of the crowd.
Only then did Lei Ze realize that the guy in front of him was just as peculiar as he was.
The whole body was covered in armor, and nothing could be seen clearly in the darkness between the gaps. It was like a statue of a knight walking out of an ancient ruin.
This was the impression that Yu Jin gave to Lei Ze. Perhaps, those eyes were not looking at him, but at him?
Thinking of this, Lei Ze’s retreating footsteps stopped.
"Duraf, don't you need me anymore? I think it would be more convenient for you to talk to Lei Ze directly." After taking a look at Lei Ze's "primitive" outfit, Yu Jin said to Duraf behind him.
It seems like he is a bit redundant for this commission?
While Yujin was daydreaming, Duraf had already walked in front of Lei Ze.
"Hello, Lei Ze. I am the hunter leader of Qingquan Town, Duraf." Duraf looked at Lei Ze and introduced himself first.
"Hello." Lei Ze nodded and said nothing more. To be honest, he was not good at dealing with humans.
"I came here this time to discuss with the wolves the boundaries between us so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Seeing this, Duraf stopped wasting time and went straight to the point.
"Roar……"
A low wolf howl came out from Lei Ze's mouth, and then the quiet wolf pack became lively again.
However, the wolves reached a consensus quite quickly, and before long, the noisy wolf roars died down.
Then, a white wolf with dull fur came out from the pack and began to communicate with Lei Ze.
The latter kept nodding, and it seemed that the white wolf should be a leader of the tribe.
After White Wolf finished speaking, he nodded to Lei Ze, indicating that he could go and talk to Duraf.
"Okay. But, elder, tell me, who started the fire?" Lei Ze looked at Duraf and repeated what White Wolf had just said.
"Fire?" Dulav glanced at Xiangling imperceptibly, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "We don't know either. Maybe it was struck by lightning?"
"We are all hunters and will not do anything that may damage the forest ecology." Duraf emphasized their identity.
How could a mature hunter set a fire?
After hearing what Duraf said, Lei Ze turned around and started talking to White Wolf again.
While listening to Lei Ze's words, Bai Lang narrowed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.
A wave of obscure consciousness was rippling through the forest. Yu Jin reached out his hand and felt the source of this consciousness.
Then he laughed. He didn't expect that he would get so much from this commission. He actually found all three forms of the defeated demon.
Lost one's mind, lost one's body, and was sealed. Of the three fates of the demons mentioned by Osel, two of them were here.
"No, you are lying." Lei Ze looked at Duraf with burning eyes and said word by word.
"Don't be like this, Mr. Duraf. It's me! I set the fire!" Xiangling waved her hands at Duraf, then admitted her mistake openly.
But it was not Xiangling who set the fire, but Guoba.
The white wolf shook his head. The wolf king's consciousness told it that Xiangling was not the real arsonist.
"It was me, actually!"
Ember raised his hand and threw a fireball into the charred forest.
"Boom!" Violent flames surged, and when the heat wave and flames dissipated, a deep pit appeared on the ground in the distance.
“So…so scary.”
“The Great Adventurer lives up to his reputation!”
"Hey! There's a fire again!"
"Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier."
Yu Jin leaped over with a big leap, then used his invisible feet to extinguish all the scattered flames.
"So, what compensation do you want? Just tell me!" He ran back and said with a wave of his hand.
The white wolf's eyes became hesitant now. It sometimes opened its eyes and sometimes closed them slightly, as if it was communicating with something.
But soon, the white wolf's state disappeared. It growled at Lei Ze.
"Yu Jin, and this girl. Come with us." Lei Ze pointed at Yu Jin, then at Xiang Ling and said.
"What do you want to do? Fight?" Yu Jin took out a shield from somewhere and held it in front of Xiangling.
If they really wanted to fight, Yu Jin would allow them to beat him up first. After all, it was his fault, so it was not impossible for others to fight him if they wanted to.
But whether he can hurt Yu Jin depends on his ability.
"No, it wants to see you." Lei Ze shook his head and said. They are not unreasonable wolves, and they will not hit people at will.
"Who?" Yu Jin put away his shield with some disappointment. If there was a real fight, he was quite looking forward to it - giving the wolves some pointers would be considered as compensation to them.
Ember has never lacked combat experience, no matter what race he fought against.
"The lord of this land, Boreas."
That Villette spray is so cool, pump it, pump the Water Dragon King for me!
Chapter 226 The Wolf King is Not the Wolf King
2023-10-12
"Huh huh huh~"
A girl's humming could be heard from the dense jungle.
If you look closely, you will find that the girl is surrounded by gray wolves, which makes people worry about her.
In addition to the girl, there were two other people who were also surrounded by the wolves, but like the girl, they were not panicked at all.
Xiangling held the rice crust and hummed an unknown song for a while, then ran to Lei Ze.
She took out a few cakes from the cloth bag she carried with her and stuffed them into Lei Ze's hand.
"Here you go, sweet-scented osmanthus cake. It's delicious."
Xiangling looked at the bewildered Lei Ze and found it very interesting. Although this was the osmanthus cake for Junior Sister Yaoyao, it was obvious that Lei Ze needed it more.
"It's too sweet, not good. It will damage my teeth." Lei Ze took a light bite and knew that this was not his favorite food.
Apart from potatoes and meat, he could not eat anything, and this time was no exception.
With this thought in mind, Lei Ze exerted a little force with his hands, intending to crush the osmanthus cake into pieces and scatter it into the forest.
Even if it is food that he does not eat, Lei Ze will scatter it on the ground. This is the tradition of the wolf pack led by Benlang.
But just as he did this, he suddenly felt a huge pressure coming from his side.
Lei Ze turned his head and saw that Xiangling was holding Guoba with a frown on her face, and her round bear eyes were fixed on his palm.
And no one knows when, a huge pepper appeared in Guoba's hand.
Guoba held the green handle of the pepper and tapped his other bear paw lightly with the tip of the pepper, looking like someone who was not easy to mess with.
"Gurgle!" Lei Ze felt Guoba's gaze and felt that if he threw the osmanthus cake in his hand away, something bad would definitely happen.
So, it’s okay to have a sweet treat every now and then, right?
As Lei Ze stuffed the osmanthus cake in his hand into his mouth, Guoba's pressured look gradually dissipated.
"Sorry, Guoba hates wasting food the most!" Xiangling saw Lei Ze choking and immediately stepped forward and handed the water bag to Lei Ze.
"Huh, ha!" Lei Ze took a few sips of water and finally swallowed the osmanthus cake in his mouth.
He patted his chest, his prejudice against human food deepened - he had never choked when eating meat!
"Why would Guoba use a chili pepper as a weapon?" Yu Jin watched Guoba take back the huge chili pepper that was much larger than an ordinary chili pepper, and he could no longer suppress his inner desire to complain.
He had never seen anyone using chili peppers as weapons before. Are all the demons here so unique?
"Haha, it's just an ordinary chili." Xiangling laughed after hearing Yu Jin's complaint.
If there is anything special about rice crust, besides the fact that it can spit fire, it is that it likes chili peppers.
Whenever Xiangling was cooking outdoors and had no seasoning, she would shake the rice crust and a few chili peppers would always come out.
"It's really hard for it, peppers this big are not easy to find." Yu Jin compared them in his mind, and the peppers in Guoba were almost as thick as his forearm.
This is the first time Yu Jin has seen such a big pepper.
"Ouch——"
Just as several people were discussing the characteristics of rice crust, suddenly a pure wolf howl came from the front.
Xiangling compared it with Yujin's howl and nodded slightly. It seems that what everyone in Qingquan Town said was right, Yujin's howl was a ghost's howl.
"We're here, Wolf King Boreas." After hearing the wolf's howl, Lei Ze translated it to Xiangling and Yu Jin.
As we continued to follow the wolf pack, the dense forest came to an abrupt end, replaced by a forest of plateaus and huge pits carved out of gray stones.
The pit was large and in the shape of a standard circle. There were patterns of wolves and wind carved on the rock wall, making it look like an altar.
There seemed to be something stuck in the middle of the giant pit. Others might not be able to see it clearly, but with Yu Jin's eyesight, it was still easy to recognize it.
