Chapter 441: Chapter 256, collapsed Highway Tunnel 1
Translator: 549690339
Far away from the area of the stream where they had rested earlier, the wolf pack walked back and once again headed west.
After stepping over the muddy path covered by weeds and passing through the dense forest, Su Ming and the other wolves arrived at a brand new area.
Through the gaps between the branches and leaves above, they could see a highway tunnel that was broken in the middle from afar.
Su Ming could hardly imagine what kind of power was able to completely divide the high-speed tunnel that was dozens of meters wide.
He recalled the remains of the battle found by the Wolf Pack and the distance between the two locations.
This made Su Ming guess the connection between this high-speed tunnel and the previous battle.
Perhaps the two sides in the battle had fought all the way from their original positions to the area of the high-speed tunnel, thus conveniently interrupting this large-scale tunnel.
With this in mind, Su Ming gradually slowed down his walking speed and withdrew his king’s aura to the surface of his body to prevent being detected by high-level creatures.
He would occasionally look around to be alert of the situation in the vicinity to prevent any sudden attacks from creatures.
This was not Su Ming’s excessive worry. In fact, no one dared to guarantee that these high-level creatures were still in the vicinity.
Since the wolf pack set off, they had already walked for nearly an hour and a half and crossed over a hundred kilometers.
It could be said that this place was no longer under the jurisdiction of the humans and was far away from the capital.
Naturally, the humans would not waste their effort to deal with this troublesome high-level creature. It was even possible that this place was within the territory of the other party.
Walking carefully among the bushes, Su Ming led the team forward. According to the map’s instructions, the wolf pack needed to cross this high-speed tunnel.
If it was in the past, they would only need to safely pass under it. However, now, the high-speed wreckage that was almost collapsed would not let the wolf pack pass so easily.
They could either find another way to bypass the ruins, or they could walk in a straight line and step over the debris.
These two choices were difficult for the wolf pack that did not know the surrounding terrain to make a correct judgment. Therefore, Su Ming thought that they should first walk out of this forest before making a choice.
As he cautiously walked forward, Su Ming used his sharp hearing to pay attention to the movements around him.
He could clearly hear the sound of branches and leaves fluttering in the distance, as well as the sound of herbivores approaching.
This was a good signal. Firstly, it could indicate that the high-level creatures here allowed weaker creatures to live and reproduce here. Secondly, it could also indicate that there were no large-scale predators nearby, there was no need to worry about an attack.
After walking forward for another period of time, about ten minutes later, the Wolf Pack arrived at the edge of the forest.
Raising their paws and pushing aside the branches and leaves in front of them, the four wolves finally walked out of the forest area. What greeted their eyes was the high-speed tunnel that they had seen earlier. Compared to standing at a distance and looking at it from a close distance, they could feel the tragic situation of this place even more.
This was a passage road built above the river channel. There were several oval-shaped load-bearing columns in the area below to support the entire passage.
Normally, if one wanted to pass through the bottom of the passage smoothly, they only needed to walk along the grass on both sides of the river.
Unfortunately, the collapse of the high-speed passage caused the river below to be blocked by mud and stone, making the original route difficult to walk on.
A huge force broke the entire passage from the middle and split it into two halves. A large amount of cement and stone debris scattered and flowed into the river. The original load-bearing column also broke into four pieces, it collapsed in the grass.
Apart from that, Su Ming also found traces of the fierce battle for the first time.
On the right side of the load-bearing pillar, which was still in good condition, there was a dark red blood stain. It had obviously dried up for a long time and was almost stuck to the wall.
Not far from the blood stain, there was a thick white bone scattered. It looked like a joint of a creature’s limb. The skin and flesh on the outside were almost eaten clean and hardly remained, even the blood that flowed out was absorbed by the grass and turned into new nutrients.
Su Ming slowly led the wolf pack into it. He fiddled with the white bone and flipped it over.
It could be clearly observed that the fracture surface was rather uneven, as if it was forcefully torn apart by a huge force. It was completely different from the neat fracture surface of the building wreckage that Su Ming had seen earlier.
Although he could not gain more confidence, based on his understanding, he could already deduce the attack methods of the two high-level creatures.
One had extremely sharp claws and teeth that could easily cut through anything, while the other had ferocious strength that could pull apart the opponent’s body.
It was very obvious that this broken high-speed tunnel and the white bones in front of him were the methods of the latter.
Following the location of the white bones, he looked into the distance. He could see that there was another bloodstain on the load-bearing pillar in front of him.
After comparing the two, Su Ming noticed that there was a clear difference in the extent of the bloodstain. The new bloodstain almost covered most of the load-bearing pillar.
This seemed to indicate that the side with the sharp claws was at a disadvantage and had suffered a lot of damage.
So, if nothing else, the battle should be won by the power side.
