LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 41
Chapter 41: Chapter 41, Return Journey 1
After passing by the two wolf brothers, Su Ming approached Su Yi and carefully checked her condition.
There was a sprain on her back leg and some injuries on her front leg. Other than that, there were no other serious injuries.
After checking that Su Yi’s life was not in danger, Su Ming was finally relieved.
After this battle, the hunting team had six gray wolves, and each wolf had injuries on their bodies.
Among them, the wolf father was the most serious. His whole body was dyed red with blood, and some parts of his flesh were torn out. However, he still managed to hold on to his trembling body and did not let himself fall.
The wolf father understood that as the leader of the Wolf Pack, he could not easily fall in front of his children. Otherwise, the wolf pack would lose its cohesion, and at the same time, his prestige would be reduced.
Su Ming’s side did not give in too much. The injuries on his body were not light either. There were stab wounds and scratches on his back and back.
He knew that what the hunting team needed the most now was to rush back to the territory and recuperate.
However, if they wanted to leave this place, they had to first solve the difficult problem in front of them.
Who was going to carry the unconscious Su Yi? One had to know that her nearly two-meter-tall body and 70 kilograms of weight were not something that anyone could carry, especially when all the wolves were injured.
Su Ming scanned the entire group.
In terms of who had the least injury, it was Su Ming’s big brother. After being attacked earlier, he had been protecting his second brother and had avoided a lot of damage from the ancient tree.
However, his big brother was only about 1.3 meters tall and was not enough to carry Su Yi. His back had been stabbed many times, so he was not a suitable candidate.
If there was anyone who had enough strength and was close to Su Yi in size…
Su Ming could not help but take a look at Su Hui, who was full of admiration behind him.
His little brother’s healing ability was quite good.
The injury that had been cut just now was no longer bleeding and was beginning to solidify. As long as he did not do any intense exercise, recovery was only a matter of time.
Now, only Su Hui, who was slightly injured, could take on this responsibility.
Su Ming told him his thoughts, and Su Hui naturally agreed to this task.
After all, this was what big brother Bai, whom he worshipped the most, had instructed him to do. He would ensure that it would be completed perfectly.
Su Hui immediately lowered his head and bit Su Yi’s body. With the help of the other wolves, he successfully carried her.
Carrying a wolf that was as heavy as him was also a physical task. He only hoped that Su Hui could hold on until the time to return to the cave.
Following the Wolf Father’s Howl, the wolf pack prepared to leave.
Su Ming walked in front and turned his head to look at the area.
After this difficult battle, the ancient tree only left two things to the wolf pack.
The first was the cracked Polygonum that the other party had kept for many days. The ancient tree had always regarded it as one of the means to increase its strength, and now it had entered Su Ming’s mouth.
The second was the Ancient Tree’s life core. This shimmering thing did not look simple at first glance, but Su Ming did not feel anything when he bit into it. It seemed that he still needed some research to use it properly.
After walking out of the forest where the ancient tree surrounded the wolves, the wolf father realized that the path ahead seemed to be different from when he came.
This was not surprising. After all, when the ancient tree was alive, it had tampered with the path of the wolves many times and used the trees to completely seal it.
Even after its death, the maze still trapped the wolves.
However, before the wolf father could think of how to proceed, the trees in front of him began to shrink
No, it should be said that the trees in the entire forest had changed.
Just like the ancient trees before them, the color of their bodies changed to dark gray, forming one sculpture after another.
Under the influence of the breeze, the entire forest turned into dust and dissipated into the air.
With the disappearance of the ancient tree, the forest that lived with it also followed in its footsteps.
As long as the ancient tree controlled these trees, their lives were connected to the ancient tree. They could be considered as a part of the ancient tree’s body.
It could be imagined that if this giant ancient tree grew up one day, the entire forest would be used by it. The power it could unleash would definitely not be as insignificant as it was today.
It would probably not use the illusion to hunt creatures. Instead, it would take the initiative to attack and gradually devour all the lives around it
Su Ming was a little relieved. Fortunately, he had waited for the wolves to finish off the other party early. Otherwise, when it developed, it would not be inferior to a disaster like the brown bears.
At the same time, the disappearance of the forest also solved the Wolves’worries.
For a time, the hunting team’s field of vision became vast. They could see the route from afar and feel the light under the setting sun.
Yes, the battle between the Wolf Pack and the ancient tree lasted for more than three hours. It was time for the sunset.
Dragging his heavily injured body, the wolf father walked in the front while Su Ming was at the back, guarding the safety of the party together with the other party.
As all the members were injured, they could not maintain the same speed as when they came.
On one hand, they were afraid that they would be torn apart. On the other hand, they wanted to reduce the exhaustion of their stamina.
After the battle, the Wolves did not have much stamina left, let alone Su Hui who was carrying Su Yi.
Therefore, with the existence of the above factors, the speed of the hunting team could not be considered fast.
…
The sky gradually darkened. The Sun was about to set, and the visibility in the forest began to decrease.
But these were not a problem for the wolves who had night vision.
However, the wolf father still quickened his pace.
The arrival of night would attract some fierce beasts.
This was extremely disadvantageous to the injured wolves. Moreover, the smell of blood on the wolves would attract predators to attack them or follow them all the way.
Because of this, the wolf pack could not return to the interior of the cave directly. They had to wash the blood stains in front of the nearest waterfall before leaving.
Otherwise, it was very likely that some predators would be lured into their territory.
In the past, the wolf pack would naturally not be afraid of these creatures. With the existence of the three wolves and the wolf father.
Even if the snow leopard attacked, it would not be a match for them.
But now, it was different from the past.
Every wolf had injuries on their bodies. The Wolf Pack’s combat strength was extremely low. That was why they needed to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Soon, the wolves arrived at the lakeside. It was exceptionally quiet at night, but it was unknown how many hunters were hiding in the forest.
In order to avoid complications, the wolf father decided not to stay for long. He washed away the blood and left.
They first helped Su Hui put Su Yi down, then began to wash the blood on their bodies.
While washing themselves carefully, they also tried to avoid the location of the wound.
Even the wolf pack knew that they could not let the wound touch the water directly. Otherwise, it might cause infection or affect the healing.
After a clean sweep, the pack sets off again on their way back to the colony.
