Wolf Warrior (5)
As soon as the day begins, the candidates who have not had a good sleep can't wait to complete this test.
Village chief Chavez had woken up from the nightmare, his face was pale and bloodless. As soon as he opened his eyes, he searched eagerly among a group of people asking about their well-being, regardless of the stinging pain of his eyes.
"Ka...pa..." His hoarse voice called out the person he relied on the most.
Kapa leaned his ear closer: "I'm here, village chief."
"Help me... take care of Willian... he is too impatient..." Just one night, Chavez seemed to have grown ten years older.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of William." I understand that the old village chief was worried that his son would be in a row with Victor. As soon as Kapa agreed, Chavez fell into a coma again.
"You must be vigilant." Cautioned to other members of the hunting team, Kapa was a little afraid that Victor would leave the army midway and run back to retaliate. Everyone nodded repeatedly, saying that he would protect the villagers.
With worries, Capa set out with the candidates and headed to the area where the wolf warriors were active. Before leaving, he glanced at the camp and did not see William's figure, and his face became a little gloomy again.
Don't do anything wrong, William, the village chief is the only son left.

Wolf warriors are famously fierce, and with their habit of living in groups, they have always been one of the most powerful species in the Taia Forest. They are divided into several groups and are scattered throughout the vast forests, but when it comes to catching cubs, hunters will only go to one place - the beast cave. For some reason, all female wolf will return to this cave when giving birth.
It didn't take long, and under Cappa's leadership, the candidates and Lucien arrived at their destination.
"Look there." Pointing ahead, Kapa introduced to everyone: "Do you feel like the ancient totem worship?"
Looking along his fingers, people saw a protruding white rock. At first glance, it was indeed a bit like a wolf's head, which was particularly conspicuous in the verdant forest.
"Where is the cub?" Lucien had no intention of enjoying the scenery. Victor couldn't tell when he would cause trouble again, so he just wanted to complete the task quickly and bring the group back to Mivera.
"There is a small hole under the wolf head stone. No matter how far apart the female wolf will return to give birth to cubs. The hunting team will use smoke to lure the adult wolf away. You can catch the cubs by taking the opportunity to enter the hole." Capa warned seriously: "There are two points that must be followed. One is not to catch the cubs that have just been born without even opening their eyes. The other is not to kill the cubs in the hole, otherwise the consequences will be born."
After hearing Capa's warning, Lucien stopped again, which had already stepped out.
“What’s inside?”
"The legendary wolf king, a monster that has lived for hundreds of years, is equivalent to a god for the wolf pack. We have always abide by the rules passed down by our ancestors. Even if we catch young wolves, we never violate the ancient agreement with the wolf king, and give the wolf warriors the necessary living space." Kapa once again reminded: "Although it is a legend, the hunters who have committed these two things have never left alive. You must be careful."
A small pile of firewood was set up at the entrance of the cave. The dead leaves and dry firewood burned very quickly. After a while, a thick smoke came out, which smoked into the cave with only one entrance and exit. Soon, a huge wolf warrior drilled out, staring at the burning pile of firewood at the entrance of the cave with its crisp green pupils. It looked for a while and then went back. Not long after, wolves of different sizes emerged from the entrance and quickly disappeared into the dense bushes.
"Okay, you guys hurry up and go in, there's only two hours."
Lucien nodded, was the first to take the lead, and hugged into the narrow cave, and the other candidates followed closely. They all heard the hunter's warning, and the shadows caused by the sword spider, except for a few who were quite confident in their skills, most of them decided to abide by the hunter's requirements.
After everyone entered the cave, a young man ran from the direction of the village, bringing bad news.
"Kappa! William has gone to the beast's cave!"
"What?" Capa was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
This child William is really, and he kept telling him not to do anything randomly, but he just didn't listen to advice.
Kapa was about to follow the exam team into the hole, but was immediately pulled by the hunters around him. He was needed to drive out the adult wolf warriors and take care of the camp, so he could not take risks with the group of candidates.
"You stay here, tell me immediately if there is any situation." As a last resort, he had to let the person who came to report the news stay. Kapa led other hunters to patrol separately, preparing to drive away any adult male wolf who was trying to approach.
After walking a short distance, the candidates appeared in front of the eyes of a fork road that was as dense as a tree root. The cave was pitch black, which made people's memories of the mines. Lucien's armor, who was walking in the front, emitted a ray of golden light, and the holy objects on his waist were like a torch, flashing with bright soft light.
"Let's separate here. You rely on your own skills to capture a wolf-warrior cub. After I see it myself, I will put it back. It is strictly forbidden to take it out of the cave."
"Why?" After the order, the candidate immediately asked.
"How many cubs are there in a pack of wolves? We have taken away all the newborn baby wolf. Do you want the wolf pack here to extinct?" As soon as the words came out, the candidate who asked the question was immediately ridiculed by the people around him.
Victor did not participate in the laughter. He could penetrate the dark eyes and filtered through the forks of all directions one by one, and selected one of them.
"Someone took the lead!"
Someone shouted, and the candidates turned around and saw only the afterimage of the black-robed mage who had always been walking first.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The cave that is only for one person to pass through is a wolf pack digging. The narrower the further you get to the back. Facing the figure blocking the way, Victor waved his tongue stick.
[Your father will be sad, Lloyle.]
"Die, you bastard who brings bad luck!" The hunting knife was unsheathed.
Without hiding or evading, the lich stood on the ground, allowing the sharp short sword to stab the vital parts.
After a muffled sound, William opened his mouth wide and stared at Victor two steps away in disbelief. The sharp hunting knife could not penetrate it, but instead seemed to poke a hard rock. His wrist even felt the unique resistance when he stabbed a hard object.
Change to stabbing, and the hunting knife in his hand swept towards the more deadly neck.
Another muffled sound, not as expected as the head, not as expected as the blood splattered everywhere. The young man in black robe stood still, and his calm expression on his face told William to take a few steps back.
"You, you monster!"
"How could ordinary mortals hurt my body?" He gently clamped his fingers, and the iron blade on his neck was immediately broken into two pieces. Just as Victor took a step forward, the cave suddenly began to shake. Taking advantage of its distraction, William rolled forward and drilled under Victor's feet.
The wind blade was about to take action when a roaring beast roar came from the depths of the cave.
"Ha~ die inside." He raised his foot and kicked the hidden mechanism. The trap dug in advance caused the entire cave to collapse. William looked at the narrow passage that had been sealed and breathed a long sigh.
Once Victor is eliminated, the nightmare of his father and other villagers should be eliminated.
The Lich was not pressed by the dumped earth and rocks. It stood beside the blocked cave, sensing the distance between nearby living organisms. The lack of air or food was not a problem for a dead soul. Just as it focused on perception, the silent attack cut through the space and hit Victor's back. After taking a heavy blow, it rolled on the ground a few times before stabilizing its body. The Lich looked back and saw a giant wolf that was no less than a spider monster standing behind it. The silver fur shone in the darkness. What was more eye-catching than the body was the two heads on its neck and the dark blue beast's eyes were filled with unconcealed anger.
"The village of Buhe is getting more and more excessive. This time, it actually uses a deceased wizard full of death to make sacrifices. But... I like foods that are challenging. You only have two choices, either defeat me or become a part of my body!"
"I'm so arrogant." Spit out the mud and sand in my mouth, Victor's fingertips suddenly turned black, and the withered touch had already taken action.
The silver wolf narrowed his eyes slightly, and his left head suddenly opened, spitting out a blazing flame. Although the open barrier blocked the attack, it also stopped the lich's steps.
"You'll know if you're arrogant or not?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Lucien was guarding the fork, and saw William walking in sand, his feet slightly limp.
"stop!"
He felt the unique coldness of the undead creatures on him, and Lucien called the young man passing by. The other party stopped and looked extremely impatient.
"What did you do to him?"
"Ha? I don't know what you said..." William wanted to get sloppy, but after touching the Knight's sharp gaze, he choked the last word in his throat.
"I don't care about your grudges, but as long as I am a proctor during the exam, I must be responsible for his safety."
"The knight who believes in Mara actually wants to protect an evil mage. This is the funniest thing I have heard in recent years." William said while retreating. He always felt that the man in front of him who was about the same age as him took special care of Victor, and hoped that they were not acquaintances.
"I don't like meaningless repetitions. Ask you again, what did you do to Victor Wood?"
Perhaps it was a serious expression that William did not hide the fact that he had just buried a person alive.
