Chapter 68: Wolf Ambush Below

  Hagaslo is a very special area in Godtz, an unexplored region that is different from the Emerald, Xiti, Gao Sai, White Night, or the Free Federation and Sky City, which are all fully adapted to human habitation. In this unexplored region, it is shrouded in darkness and toxic gases all year round.

  Of course, the most terrifying thing is the creature living in it.

  Or... ferocious beast!

  Among them, the most well-known is the Haga Slo Wolf. This wolf is about twice as large as an ordinary wolf, and its strength and speed are enough to make even a general knight sweat.

  And what's more important is that they are in groups.

  With thirty or fifty as a base, led by their own alpha wolf, they roamed freely in Hagaslo, and even other fierce beasts did not dare to provoke these hunting groups.

  What about humans?

  If you have a complete squad, then consider whether to exchange the entire squad for the fruit of victory, and also cannot let any Hargaslo wolves escape.

  Otherwise, it is endless retaliation.

  Compared with the ordinary wolf's revenge, the Haggaslow wolf has reached an extreme - not a tribe, but the entire species!

  To put it simply, two packs of wolves that are at odds with each other. If one side is wiped out by humans or other creatures and the other side finds out about it, then the original opposing side will go all out to help their kin avenge; afterwards, when the entire Haga Slo wolf pack learns of this news after some time has passed, you'll get to see what's called "ten thousand wolves charging forward".

  Dein's predecessor was called 'Haggar the Lone Wolf' because, like Haggar, he had a strong sense of revenge.

  But even Dean, who had the title of "Hagathas Lonely Wolf", was also extremely nervous at this moment.

  The number of wolves in front of me is really too large——

  When those at the back, in higher positions within the wolf pack, beta wolves were crowded out, Dean immediately overturned his previous estimate of numbers.

  "At least two hundred!"

  Looking at the twenty or so guard wolves beside the two-headed Beta wolf, Dean doubled his previous estimate.

  As for the habits of wolves, Dean has a considerable understanding. Even without the title of "Haggar's Lone Wolf", Dean, who had played the role of assassin countless times, must understand the survival knowledge in the wild due to his own needs, especially knowledge about wolf packs, venomous snakes and so on.

  In a wolf pack, the lead wolf is called an alpha wolf.

  Then come two lieutenants, a male and female beta wolf, often a married pair or siblings.

  Then there is the sentinel wolf and the lowest-ranking member of the pack.

  In it, the number of wolf pack leaders and beta wolves is fixed, while the lowest-level members of the wolf pack change frequently; thus, the size of a wolf pack's power is manifested by the sentinel wolves.

  These guard wolves are very strong and are the backbone of the entire wolf pack, with about ten ordinary wolves beside each guard wolf.

  Simply put, by observing the number of sentinel wolves, one can determine the size of the wolf pack.

  Of course, this is not absolute either.

  However, the current situation is absolutely applicable.

  Dean looked at the Beta wolf surrounded by guard wolves, his eyes carefully scanning - he was looking for the head of this wolf pack: Alpha wolf.

  And such searching, of course, cannot be discovered, must be done with great care.

  Otherwise, he will absolutely follow in the footsteps of these high-profile people.

  It's clear that by now, Dean has figured out that these high-ranking people didn't get wiped out by the traps in King Tut's tomb, but by this pack of wolves.

  But for the wolf pack in front of him, Dean also had a hint of doubt.

  In the dense forest of the snowy plain, wolf packs are not non-existent. On the contrary, once you venture deeper into certain areas, the number of wolves is simply countless, like fish crossing a river. However, a wolf pack with a number reaching around 200, like the one in front of us now, is absolutely rare - if I had to describe it with one word, that would be "enormous".

  That's right, it's huge!

  Compared with the usual pack of thirty or fifty wolves, such a metaphor is not excessive.

  As for the general wolf pack's quantity being very rare, is it different from what you imagined?

  This is very natural, after all, the food in each region is limited and cannot be supplied indefinitely to a certain group - this is the law of nature, which no living thing can disobey.

  Therefore, a pack of wolves with nearly two hundred in front of you would absolutely make anyone feel surprised.

  Dean, no exception either ——

  "There is an abundance of food sources nearby... and, these quasi-Haags wolves have no natural enemies here, allowing them to breed and thrive without worry... but, isn't this condition a bit too coincidental?"

  Dean furrowed his brow in thought, with a hint of doubt at the bottom of his heart for what he saw before him.

  Nature is full of coincidences, but sometimes when it's too coincidental, you need to think about it.

  It's just like everything in front of you.

  Having enough food in the snowy forest is absolutely not a simple thing, and having no natural enemies nearby in the snowy forest is also unbelievable.

  The Haga wolves in front of us are powerful, but compared to the Snow Bears and other creatures, they still fall short. Even with a large number of wolves in front of us, the number of Snow Bears in the snowy forest far exceeds that of the wolf pack, even though they are used to acting alone, it's not impossible for them to gather together.

  Especially when a large amount of food appears, polar bears should be very happy to gather!

  But once the snow bears gather, the destruction of this wolf pack is only a matter of time; however, such a situation has never occurred.

  A series of coincidences made Dean start to feel instinctively that something was off.

  "It's absolutely not a natural gathering, the physique, fur color and wolves in the snowy forest are really too different, it must be someone who intentionally migrated them here to raise..."

  Deane took another glance at the wolf pack in front of him, and that kind of discordant feeling made him have a new inference. When such an inference appeared, some things' context became very clear in front of Deane's eyes - actually, it wasn't a difficult thing at all, just need to know whose graveyard this was.

  Conquer the king!

  But after knowing that this is the tomb of this great emperor, everything in front of us seems to be explainable - except for the mechanism inside the tomb chamber, it's clear that this conquering king also found some 'guards' for himself, and using alchemy, gave these guards some enhanced abilities.

  With the mighty vision of the conquering king, wanting to achieve these things is naturally very simple.

  As for the choice of cemetery, why not in Gao Sai?

  In fact, the snowy forest that once was, is also the territory of Gaiseric - Fertilia, Sittius, and the Free Federation are all territories of that conquering king.

  There was only one place where this brilliant and ambitious emperor suffered a crushing defeat.

  That's the White Night!

  This forbade magic, but martial arts developed to an extreme degree in the country, and it was the only place on God's earth where Conquest King's footsteps were blocked.

  So until his death, this conqueror king never forgot about White Night.

  Even if he died, his tomb would face the direction of White Night, as if hoping that his future generations could replace him to conquer White Night.

  Unfortunately, after the death of King Zheng, the entire Gaoxi Empire quickly disintegrated and became several kingdoms and city-states that exist on Godzi today.

  Although the descendants of this conquering king have been trying to restore the glory of the entire empire, Gaozhi is still a kingdom, not an empire.

  "If it's a means left by the Conqueror King, then for one's own descendants, shouldn't they be given some leeway..."

  Dein's gaze turned to the remaining four High Ones who were surrounded by a pack of wolves.

  The current situation is certainly not because these wolves have spared their lives, but simply due to animal instinct, feeling the ferocity of the four people in front of them, and hesitating as a result.

  And when Beta Wolf arrived with those guard wolves, a fight was inevitable.

  However, at this moment, the wizard quickly pulled out a scroll from his bosom and began to recite it silently with his head lowered. The two knights instantly blocked the wizard's left and right sides.

  The slightly recovered great knight swung the long-handled battle axe in his hand, blocking the front and completely separating the wizard and the wolf pack.

  It is clear that this is what Gao Sai relies on when facing such a pack of wolves.

  The incantation changed from silent recitation to loud chanting.

  The sound went from nothing to loud, then to high, and finally to deafening - this was not Mo Meng's own power, but came from that scroll.

  At this moment, the scroll emitting a faint glow is showing its difference.

  The pack of wolves in front of him, however, seemed to be stunned, motionless and staring blankly at the spot.

  The great knight and the two knights couldn't help but let out a long sigh, each with an expression of having narrowly escaped death on their faces - it was clear that they were all too aware of what would happen to them once battle broke out.

  No. However, Dean in the distance was still on high alert.

  On the contrary, becoming increasingly vigilant——

  Because up until now, he still hasn't found the leader of the wolf pack: Alpha Wolf!
