Chapter 17: The Uncle and the Night in the Thicket
The bonfirenoises I tossed some dried-up tree branches onto the fire
In this season, gathering enough fuel is not a problem at all Especially in a place like this with no people, the ground is littered liberally with dried sticks and withered leaves You actually have to clear a buffer zone to prevent large fires
I tied up the horse to a large tree nearby I arranged a few traps in the surrounding area, in order to alert ot drowsy This forest was exactly as Ka Luona had described – it definitely cannot be said to be a safe place
When I was about to closefroh they were yet far off, I could still frequently sense a quite dangerous presence It wasn’t a person, but so else
The unknown is the scariest foe Even for ht of the fire, the deep black of the forest All I could do was increase my alertness
Ka Luona, Little Elan, and LIttle Hairball– two people and one donkey – nervously stayed close to each other The two people wrapped up in their sleeping bags looked like two pieces of long white bread Little Hairball was curled up on its fur legs, occasionally it’s flexible ears flapped I didn’t knohether it was asleep or awake, but it was probably because ani
Little Elan still s out my name
Ka Luona lost the carefulness to her words and expression, looking just like an ordinary girl
As the only ht attack like poking Ka Luona’s pink cheeksBut I a Moreover, Ka Luona would definitely get mad
I used a handkerchief to gently wipe away the spit couess she is probably having a good dream
“Eiheihei, curry rice, I can’t eat anymore……”
In fact, there’s no need to guess
“Big Brother He……”
I leaned across the sleeping bag to rub Elan’s hand, and she immediately smiled
“Nothing is wrong I will protect you”
I stood up
It was just as Ka Luona had said 23 wolves had silently crept closer, as well as 3 elite wolves and one wolf king, hiding its presence In total, there were 27, already within one hundred metres
It wasn’t that I didn’t sense that they were getting closer Fro, I knew they weren’t the kind of opponents to negotiate with Since battle was unavoidable, there was no point in being alert while they were over a hundred meters away
I snapped ers in front of Ka Luona, and she opened her eyes She was at a loss for a moment, but immediately turned solemn
She speedily extricated herself fro While we’re at it, I shouldshi+rt and pants were blue hite polka dots, with the sort of thickness to homewear
“Can you sense the aura?”
“En, there are twenty-six”
So it’s like this, you can’t sense the wolf king’s presence? Indeed, it is quite the cunning guy
In this world, the ence will often create results that were unanticipated I needed her to understand this point
Being unable to sense the wolf king is a proble experience The wolf packEven if you couldn’t sense it, you should be aware that there is soer based on the condition of the rest of the pack, and then infer that there is at least one wolf you couldn’t sense
“Although wolves are very cunning, even if they recognize a difference in strength they will not cower You need to kill at least half of their number before they will run away Go and protect the horses and leave the rest to me This is a defensive battle, so don’t stray too far froets”
I spoke simply
“Understood!”
When Ka Luona had drawn close to the horses, a broolf had already irowth
Similar to the role of the outpost, the first as meant to intimidate the opponent
“Huaah!!”
——Pushaa!!
A fist pulverized the wolf’s skull A ring of energy surged out, and the wolf hit the ground heavily
Little Hairball opened both its eyes, vigilantly looking all around
“It’s all right, Little Hairball You and Elan must stay close to me, and don’t leave the fire”
