”Wolf Grandpa, do you want to lead the way?” Zhong Li asked cautiously.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf retained his lofty and inviolable bearing in front of the others. He cast an indifferent glance at Zhong Li before stepping onto the island like he owned the place.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was very sensitive to odors, especially the smell of blood. He followed the scent while the Foehn Hunter Squad stuck close together behind him.
”Oh my, this is f**king disgusting,” Xie Hao suddenly shrieked.
It gave the others quite a fright. They quickly looked at Xie Hao and noticed him stepping on something. He was wiping it off the grass nearby.
”Did you step on dog shit?” Zhong Li burst out laughing.
”I have no idea what it was. It's pitch-black!” Xie Hao pulled a long face.
”Stop talking!” Gu Ying's had a sensitive nose, too. She looked around herself carefully.
The team did not dare to chat any further. They continued to follow the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.
”Did we come to the wrong place? I don't see any cave here,” Big Nose said.
The island was not huge. They did not find the entrance of a cave after going around the island. They only saw a bunch of rocks. They wondered where the smell of blood had come from.
”This is strange, I clearly remembered my mentor telling me that there's a cave here,” Zhong Li scratched his head.
”Awooo!”
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was close to a few boulders. He was sniffing at the rocks as if he had discovered something.
Gu Ying watched the Flying Creek Snow Wolf carefully. She noticed him reaching out his sharp claws to dig at the rocks. His claws were slicing them in half, as if they were made of mud!
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf eventually dug open a hole. The rocks above collapsed, revealing an opening. A strong smell of blood assailed their nostrils!
”There really is a cave here!” Xie Hao exclaimed.
”But why is the entrance sealed up?”
The Foehn Hunter Squad was being extremely cautious. Their ranks were not high, and they were well aware of how dangerous a cave like this could be. It was common to find high-level demon creatures in a place like this. They would normally retreat if they found a place like this. It was natural for Hunters to be alert, especially those that spent most of their time in the wild!
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was different. The danger level was nowhere enough to threaten him. He went inside the cave and suddenly lowered his head, as if he had found something.
The Foehn Hunter Squad waited outside the cave. The Flying Creek Snow Wolf soon returned, carrying a person with his mouth!
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf placed the guy in front of Gu Ying. He could not have cared less about him.
”Don't kill me, don't kill me, I saw nothing, I saw nothing!” The man seemed to be mentally unstable, and kept babbling nonsense.
”Isn't this Wu Dong? Wu Dong, it's us, we are from the Foehn Hunter Squad! I'm Gu Ying!” Gu Ying quickly comforted him after recognizing who he was.
”Don't kill me, I swear I didn't see anything, don't kill me...” Wu Dong had not recovered from his fear. He was curling up in the corner and trying to squeeze into any gap nearby to seek protection.
The Foehn Hunter Squad exchanged glances with one another. They had no idea what to do with Wu Dong.
Their hearts clenched upon seeing his reaction.
They had known Wu Dong for a long time. He was a man with a pleasant laugh and had drunk with the members of the Foehn Hunter Squad in the past. Gu Ying ended up dragging him back to Lan Jin after he was too drunk.
Since then, Wu Dong was too ashamed to talk to the members of the Foehn Hunter Squad, but they always mentioned it whenever they saw him.
However, Wu Dong seemed to have lost his mind completely. He was begging and curling up instinctively to stay alive. As a Hunter, he knew none of the two actions would guarantee his safety, but he was already suffering a mental breakdown!
”Let's wash his wounds. We'll wait until he's able to calm down,” Gu Ying said.
”Mm, we seriously have no idea what happened.”
The Foehn Hunter Squad was a little worried after seeing Wu Dong's condition. Something terrifying must have happened on this island, or the Cangjin Hunter Squad would not have ended up like this. Their Foehn Hunter Squad might share the same fate! The only reason they were willing to stay was because the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was sitting calmly behind them.
”Is there anyone else inside?” Gu Ying asked the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf sniffed and turned around. He patted Wu Dong with his claws.
”He's the only one left?” Gu Ying guessed what the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was implying.
The truth was, Gu Ying would not dare to enter the cave. First, a member of the Cangjin Hunter Squad was eaten by the Carnage Poisonous Salamander, and now Wu Dong was mentally unstable.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf nodded, indicating that there was no one alive inside the cave!
