Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

After a long while, the prince's excited expression finally subsided slightly.

He stared at the headless corpse on the ground, his expression momentarily dazed, before walking into the central tent of the camp.

Only then did the elite soldiers of Bo Ren, who had been silent as cicadas in winter, cautiously exchange glances.

The prince's hearing was excellent; they didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Several of them stepped forward and began to deal with the headless body of their comrade.

Under the cover of night, Poro quietly followed them...

Sure enough, during a break from digging the pit, several elite soldiers began to talk in hushed tones again.

"The prince... he wasn't usually like this, was he?"

The elite soldier digging the pit glanced at the headless corpse beside him, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Yeah, this infiltration operation was proposed by the prince himself—taking advantage of the chaos caused by the queen in the Kingdom of Sino to probe its weakness..."

"We shouldn't have... entered this forest."

"But who would have known that the prince, such a warrior, would actually... fall victim to something like this?"

The pit was dug, and two elite soldiers placed the body and head inside, filling it with soil. One of them looked at the insignia of their fallen comrade, sighed, and placed it in his pocket.

"Do you remember why we followed His Highness in the first place?"

"A stern, almost emotionless sense of justice, an unwavering resolve."

One of the elite soldiers recalled, then continued, "Remember... that earl from a few years ago?"

"Yes, he accepted bribes, oppressed the citizens... and killed many people, but even His Majesty the King only adopted a policy of appeasement.

Only Prince, leading us, stormed the Earl's mansion, and put him on the execution platform!

In the end, Prince had the Earl dance to death in iron shoes on burning coals, and then killed his entire family..."

"I also heard that the Earl originally wanted to marry his daughter to the prince.

But when the prince killed that woman, he didn't even bat an eye, just like killing a chicken!"

"At that time, I thought the prince..."

"Wasn't interested in women?"

"Haha..."

The two elite soldiers smiled wryly, then turned and walked back toward the camp.

In the darkness, Poro gently stroked the fur on his chin, lost in thought.

...

Night completely fell, and the embers of the campfire still glowed in the camp.

Not many elite soldiers from the Kingdom of Bo Ren had come to the forest, probably only a few dozen.

Although they were staying here because of the prince, the original plan was just to camp temporarily, so they didn't dig any latrines. If they needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, they would just go into the forest outside the camp.

And at one moment, one of the elite soldiers walked toward the forest.

It was the same one who had tried to ambush Poro during the day!

He wasn't wearing armor or carrying a bow and arrow. He walked to a tree, yawned, and reached for his waist, loosening his clothes...

But a few seconds later, his body suddenly turned around!

A flash of a knife emerged from the elite soldier's waist—

Straight towards Poro, who was pouncing from behind!

"Clang—"

With a jarring clang, Poro rolled to the ground, his body several meters away from the elite soldier!

He looked at his claws, two of which had broken off!

A hint of horror flashed in his emerald green eyes!

This elite soldier of Bo Ren was much stronger than the ordinary cavalry of the Kingdom of Sino!

Even with such a stealthy ambush, he was still able to counterattack!?

"Oh... it's that wolf from the daytime? Did you come for revenge?"

A hint of disdain appeared in the elite soldier's eyes, "If you really knew the difference between me and you—you should have hidden back in your den, trembling and praying that you wouldn't encounter me again in the daytime!"

Poro narrowed his eyes, not replying.

Instead, he slowly retreated into the darkness, his dark fur blending into the shadows...

The elite soldier held the dagger, but did not pursue.

After Poro's figure disappeared, the elite soldier chuckled again:

"Hmph, damn beast... damn forest!"

The elite soldier shook his head and returned to the camp.

He thought that this wolf, under his intimidation, had broken its claws and would probably never dare to appear before him again.

But... he was too quick to judge!

The next day, in the forest.

The elite soldier's long sword swept through the air, but it swept empty, with only a few wolf hairs falling!

Poro, this time prepared, nimbly flipped and landed, silently staring at the elite soldier.

"Looks like a beast is still a beast— courting death!"

The elite soldier's expression turned gloomy. Originally, he was already extremely annoyed by the prince's affairs in this forest, and now, Poro's actions made him even angrier!

A wolf dared to appear before him again and again?!

Thinking of this, the elite soldier raised his short bow and fired a series of shots—

His archery skills were indeed good, but they were inferior to his swordsmanship!

So Poro dodged left and right, and avoided many arrows, disappearing into the bushes!

"Hmph, want to escape?"

The elite soldier missed several shots, and his anger grew even more. He started chasing after Poro!

Human endurance is indeed extraordinary.

After zigzagging through the forest for hundreds of meters, Poro's escape suddenly became agile in the last section, darting through bushes, rocks, and other obstacles, and soon disappeared!

"How could this be? Why is this wolf... suddenly running so fast?"

The elite soldier frowned. Losing track of Poro, he began to search for clues along the traces left on the ground.

A few minutes later, the elite soldier passed a rock that blocked his view, and his eyes lit up—

He saw that damn wolf again!

Inside a natural small stone cave, dragging a wild goat!

"I was wondering why it suddenly became so agile... so it's home."

A wicked smile appeared on the elite soldier's lips, and he drew his bow and shot—

Poro had no choice but to drop the wild goat and flee in a panic.

The elite soldier walked forward, picked up the dead wild goat on the ground, and raised his dagger at Poro as if to provoke him, "Your prey is mine now, come and snatch it? With your fragile claws?"

He laughed mockingly, watching the wolf on the opposite side, who could only bare its teeth helplessly—

This made him feel very comfortable.

Seeing that Poro didn't step forward, the elite soldier turned and left boredly, taking Poro's wild goat with him.

He had already decided that he would come here every day, and if the wolf still wanted to make its home here, it wouldn't be able to eat any prey!

But... after the elite soldier left.

All the anger on Poro's face disappeared, replaced by a human-like sneer.

In the following half-day and one day, the elite soldier would come here to sweep through every now and then, and each time, he would take away the animals Poro had hunted!

The evening of the second day, the elite soldier walked to the cave again.

And this time, it was finally empty!

"Heh, a beast is still a beast, I thought... this wolf had some kind of evil! It took so many times to think about moving?"

Thinking of this, the elite soldier turned to leave.

But at that moment, a gust of wind attacked the back of his head!

"Heh, out of tricks?"

The elite soldier swept back with his sword dismissively—

But this time, there were some small accidents.

His foot inadvertently stepped into an inconspicuous pit, and his body swayed out of balance!

And with this mistake, the blade of his sword missed!

At the same time, a sharp pain came from his cheek, and more than half of his vision was instantly obscured by a bloody red!

Poro's claws instantly tore through one of his eyeballs!
