Become a martial girl

Chapter 173 The Plague of Wolves
"Dead? Old woman, are you sure? Are you sure he really didn't say where he met the Black Flame Snake in the forest?"

Mengdie's tail was completely raised, and her ears were also straightened due to nervousness.In the old woman's eyes, her anxious appearance was surprisingly superimposed with those cruel wolves.In an instant, the old woman stopped talking, just holding the cup, tremblingly looking at the beautiful girl in front of her.

Seeing the old woman's expression, Mengdie knew her gaffe, so she quickly put on a smile and laughed at herself.

But now, the problem has become a little tricky.It is too difficult to find someone in a forest with insufficient light.Moreover, I don't know if the person from the Black Flame Snake that the soldiers encountered was wandering around their secret base, or did they happen to appear in other places for investigation?If you search aimlessly in the forest like this, it may take a long time...

However, having difficulties does not mean that it can stop Mengdie's determination.Finally got a clue, even if it took a few months to turn this forest upside down!I want to find out those poisonous snakes too! ! !
At the moment, Mengdie waved to the three teammates and said loudly: "Edward! Hugh! Nia! You three stay here, and I will go into the forest to find those poisonous snakes. After I find them, we will find a way!"

With that said, Mengdie was about to run out.

"Please wait a moment." At this moment, Father Cotton, who had been listening to others, said, "Please wait a moment, child of the goddess. I think it is the most unwise thing to go into the forest to find choose."

Mengdie, who was standing at the door, turned her head and looked at Father Cotton suspiciously.Obviously, she didn't understand.

Father Cotton put down the water glass in his hand, and looked at Mengdie's eyes full of concern: "It's not that I, an old man, talk too much...cough. It's just that this forest is too dangerous now. You should have seen it all the way into the village, those cannibals There are vicious wolves wandering in the forest. If you rush into a forest that you are not familiar with alone, I am afraid that after entering, you will never be able to come out again."

Father Cotton spoke peacefully.But listening to these words, Edward's face was ashen.He hurried forward, took Mengdie's hand, and said excitedly: "No! Mengdie, I can't let you enter that forest alone. Let's not talk about those wolves, if you happen to meet that one in the forest What about Shiro Shadow?"

Xio tapped his staff, and said, "That's right, Miss Mengdie. I also agree with Edward's decision this time. It's almost evening now, and the sky is getting darker. Compared with the Black Flame Snake, your familiarity with the forest The level is far lower than theirs. Going in now is tantamount to sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger."

Nia also nodded in agreement.

For all of this, Mengdie did not deny it.But it was extremely painful for her to watch the Black Flame Snake in that forest, but unable to pursue it.She has been chasing him for more than two months, and she has lost news of the other party many times during this process!If this time, the other party transfers silently while he stands still for the sake of this forest, then it is completely unknown whether he can get news from the Black Flame Snake again next time.

"Well... little girl, I think...cough...it's better like this."

Father Cotton's words diverted everyone's attention again.

"I came here from Wangcheng this time because I heard the news that the wolves here are disturbing the village, so I wanted to do something. Although it is cruel, these wolves have already tasted the taste of human blood. I am afraid that they cannot be driven away. They can only be hunted and killed. Originally, I wanted to wait until the reinforcements from Wangcheng arrived before starting the hunting plan. However, the severity of the village is far beyond my imagination, so I can only start quickly. Therefore, I hope you can help me and hunt them down together. Etc After solving the wolf problem in the village, I can go together with you to find...the snake. With the help of my magic power, it should be easy to find it."

Father Cotton's proposal was very standard and medium-distance. He asked Mengdie to help him solve the wolf problem before he helped find the Black Flame Snake.In fact, this is also true. As a priest, of course, saving people is the first priority.Moreover, he didn't know the reason why Mengdie and others were looking for the King's Cup. There was no reason for him to stop saving people and help find someone first.

Mengdie sighed helplessly, it seemed that she had no choice but to accept the proposal first.She sat back in her seat, her tail drooped a little tiredly, slowly wagging listlessly.

"Oh, Miss Mengdie is really listless~~~ Forget it. Old lady, can you tell us more about the wolf problem this time?" Xio laughed and continued.

Granny Gruma sighed, closed her eyes and thought for a while, and finally told the whole story——

How it happened, Granny Gruma herself is not quite clear.All I know is that on a rainy night about a month ago, the pack of wolves that had been deep in the forest suddenly rushed into the village like crazy.They broke through the fences where the villagers kept their livestock and carried them away.The level of brutality seems to have not eaten for a long time.The old woman's room was the first to be attacked by wolves.If it wasn't for the old lady's son who happened to be at home that night, desperately protecting his mother, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

In the next month, almost every few days, the wolves will come to attack.After the livestock finished eating, they began to hit the villagers' rooms, rushing into the room and killing the villagers.Over time, these vicious wolves gradually became bolder, and sometimes they even dragged the villagers to the center of the village, and in front of many villagers peeping from the windows, they cut open a person, divided and ate them.

Many villagers couldn't bear it and fled the village one after another.But more villagers are nostalgic for their homeland and refuse to leave.Seeing more and more bloodstains on the ground in the village, and more and more horrible scratches on the walls, the villagers' sense of fear and helplessness became stronger day by day.
