After seeing the incredible abilities displayed by John and Dean, Old John could no longer say anything to stop him.
"The hunters in the town are all hunting outside. No one has ever encountered that man, so he can only settle deep in the mountainous area to the north. The mountainous area is vast, and there is a long way to go deep into it. You must bring supplies."
The old man searched the house and quickly prepared tents, lighting, hiking poles, water, compasses, and even two shotguns and enough bullets for the two of them.
"Don't worry too much. Werewolves are the masters of the wild. Ordinary things cannot threaten us." Kaiden put the long and bulging hiking backpack on his back and patted his chest. "Just prepare for the good news."
John looked at his grandson's friendly face, gritted his teeth and revealed another piece of news,
"When you encounter trouble that you really can't solve after going up the mountain, you can try to go to a place about ten miles east of the mountain for help. Mayor Fenrir and Sheriff Tucker are stationed there with a group of people."
"What?" Dean's eyelids twitched with an ominous premonition, "What are they doing over there? Aren't they afraid of being attacked by wolves?"
A glint flashed in John's eyes, "They brought a group of people from a large exploration company to set up a camp in the mountains to explore for minerals and prepare to build a mining tunnel."
Dean and Caiden exchanged surprised looks,
"Why have we never heard Ivana or other townspeople mention this?"
John replied, "Mining will not only destroy ecological functions and pollute the environment of Dog Town, but will also seriously affect the health of the townspeople, which will inevitably arouse opposition from the townspeople, so the town mayor did it very covertly. I also went to Fort Smith to sell Yang Yu accidentally inquired about what he heard, and before he could think of how to deal with it, you guys came."
"Then when did they go east to explore?" Dean asked,
John rubbed his eyebrows and said, "More than three months ago."
So this was before the outbreak of lycanthropy?
Dean caught a vague glimpse of inspiration.
"Remember, safety is the top priority in everything. You are my only relative. We are finally reunited. If something happens to you again, then our Wilkas family will be completely wiped out." Old John looked at me with a hint of pleading. Caiden, "There's no point in living for me."
"I promise, I will come back intact." Kaiden finally opened his arms and gave his grandfather a big hug, and followed Dean onto the barbed wire fence in the northern mountainous area.
…
The mountainous area to the north is not a huge solitary peak that towers into the sky, but consists of countless rolling low mountains, but the slope and height are constantly rising.
Dean flew through the mountains with his telekinesis, using God's perspective to search for targets.
But this mountainous area is too huge, and there is no end in sight. He flies around like a headless fly. Even if he flies for three hours, he cannot find the target. On the contrary, his combat effectiveness and adaptability may be weakened due to excessive consumption of mental energy.
He simply walked with Kaiden.
Due to the erosion of rain, the rock walls in some dark places on the hillside are slippery and difficult to climb. The grass that stubbornly emerges from the cracks is covered with dew and is slippery. If you accidentally step on it, you will lose your balance and fall down the steep slope. hillside.
And there are rocks with all kinds of strange shapes entrenched on the hillside, blocking the way, forcing people to take detours to consume more energy.
But Dean and Kaiden's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and they can walk quickly on this rugged mountain road. Sometimes they climb up the slope, sometimes they slide down on the stone slabs, as if they are walking on flat ground.
In less than half an hour, they left the farm far behind a raised hill, completely out of sight.
Caiden wiggled his nose to sniff the scent left behind by the wolves as they moved up the mountain.
Dean searched for wolf footprints, excrement, and hair on the ground from his perspective.
The scent of pine, birch, and various sap from damaged bark floated through my nose, the stench of small animal excrement under the tree roots, and the slightly sour smell of heavy berries on the shrubs.
In the field of vision, colorful pheasants, hedgehogs, foxes, and rabbits jumped out from behind a rock or a bush.
A forest stands between some hillsides, with spider webs reflecting sunlight in the forest, and crows and sparrows chirping on the branches.
In Dean's perception, this mountainous area is rich in products and full of charming vitality, but it is also dangerous. The hunters in Dog Town have set up a large number of traps and animal traps in the outer hidden areas. Dean took a quick look and discovered that An unlucky cottontail rabbit, with its snow-white down soaked in blood, lay motionless and lifeless in the animal trap...
Dean couldn't bear to see it lying dead in the wilderness, so he rolled the rabbit into the fantasy space with a wave of his hand, preparing for a barbecue in the evening.
…
Unknowingly, they followed the migration tracks of the wolves for four hours. The sunlight in the sky gradually softened and the temperature began to drop. The two of them stood on a ridge, overlooking the bottom. The green shrubs were like a blanket. Spread on the ground.
Farther away, the terrain suddenly rose up, forming a lush forest. They were finally leaving this low mountain and entering a large mountain range.
At this time, Dean walked towards the green shrubs down the slope and found a pile of black feces under the leaves. He lifted a piece of the trekking pole between his nose and smelled it.
"The wolf's excrement is very fresh, less than five minutes old. Look over there!" Dean looked up and followed the smell and paw prints to the forest ahead. Behind a tall oak tree shone a pair of green eyes, and a dark one. The brown-gray wolf stood there with its tail hanging down, staring at the two of them, with a cunning look on its face.
"Kayden, can werewolves and wolves sense each other?"
"Of course," Caiden stared at the coyote, his eyes flashing with curiosity, "I sensed he was a little scared and curious."
Dean immediately waved to the coyote a hundred meters away, trapped its body with his telekinesis, rolled it up and flew into the air in front of the two of them.
Ouch——
This strange force frightened it so much that its hair stood on end, and a stream of urine spilled from under its drooping tail and splashed into the air.
Shouts of terror echoed through the trees.
Dean looked carefully and saw that this guy was about 20 kilograms, less than one meter long, and his big tail was about half the length of his body. It was different from the gray wolf that Ivana described, which was comparable in size to a puma.
"Man, don't torture it, it's scared." Kaiden listened carefully to the wolf's whisper, "It has a wife and children living in a hole in the woods, let it go."
"Do you have wolf language? Can you order it to point out the specific direction of the werewolf?"
"I'll try." Kaiden tightened his facial features and the smooth skin showed down hairs, and he quickly transformed into a wolf. His amber vertical pupils met the coyote's eyes for a moment. The latter was shocked and stopped howling, and the color of fear disappeared.
Dean put the coyote down, and it lowered itself toward Caiden, lying on its chest on the grass with its tail between its legs. It let out a series of whimpering sounds, then rolled onto its side, exposing its soft neck and belly. .
Caiden let out a low wolf howl at it.
"You can make it surrender with just one look," Dean praised. "You are a natural master of wolf training."
"Unfortunately, instead of surrendering, once he is ten meters away from my sight, he will run away." Kaiden frowned tiredly, "But it also revealed important information - the same terrifying aura as mine is in the east, we should Go east."
"Walk!"
Kayden tilted his chin, and the coyote turned around with relief and jumped four meters away into the forest. Two coyotes, one large and one small, jumped out from behind the oak tree and followed it into the bushes.
…
In the wild and lush forest.
The two continued walking for several hours following the coyote's guidance, during which time they broke into the territory of a brown bear and several small wolf packs. After going deep into the mountainous area, the number of prey animal carcasses began to increase around them.
The size of the wolf is also gradually increasing, and its life intensity is becoming more and more astonishing, from the coyote to the long-extinct North American gray wolf. All the wolves roared in warning, but after seeing Kaiden's werewolf transformation, they seemed to have seen the king of the forest, and ran away with their tails between their legs.
Kaiden caught a few of them, and used the howls to find out where the werewolves lived more accurately, constantly adjusting his direction.
When it turned completely dark, the bright moonlight shrouded the forest, and smoke drifted among the jagged trees that reached into the sky.
Dean and Caiden disemboweled a few rabbits and an elk they had "picked up" along the way, and roasted them over a campfire to satisfy their hunger before setting off.
"Have you thought about it?" Dean said, turning over the meaty rabbit. "What will you say to that man when you see him?"
"First give him a good beating and ask why you forced Lucinda in the first place." Caiden grabbed a sizzling, roasted, golden-skinned deer leg and bit it hard without being too hot. One bite, with a ferocious expression as if biting the enemy,
"Have you ever thought that maybe your father has some troubles?" Dean asked, "As a werewolf, he lives in seclusion and never appears in front of the townspeople. He must abide by strict rules."
"No matter what the reason, he shouldn't have made things difficult for his wife, and left Lucinda on the farm, refusing to even visit her until she died. What a heartless person!" Kaiden clenched his fists and growled unwillingly, "After I lost it, I realized that nothing in the world is more precious than family ties. This time I was so close to Lucinda. I should have seen her and reunited with my mother, but it's gone... gone..."
Dean sighed, thought of the empty coffin again, and asked, "Then who do you think has been protecting Old John's farm from wild beasts for so many years?"
"This is just hypocritical compensation." Kaiden shook his head, his mouth grew to the extreme, and he bit the lower half of the deer leg in one bite. His blue eyes suddenly condensed, and a crow squatted on the oak tree branch, with eyes like black gems. Staring at the two of them. "This bird has been following us?"
"You were so blinded by hatred that you didn't smell the strong smell of urine and didn't realize that it had already called for a lot of help." Dean stopped turning the grill and turned to look at the dark place on the right. In the woods.
Huh...
Huh...
Amidst the creepy roars, pairs of eyes like will-o'-wisps lit up in the dark trees, and more than twenty wolves slowly stepped into the light of the campfire.
Most of them are gray, but there are also brown, black and white. The average body length is more than two meters. They are extremely majestic and look like the ancestors of the wolves they encountered before.
The leader was a gray male wolf. It walked gracefully out of the pack and came ten meters in front of the two of them. It looked at Kaiden with its oval green eyes, like emeralds exuding command. Amid the suffocating cold air, the smooth fur around the body shines under the firelight. It is an animal that lives in the wild, but it makes people feel clean and noble.
Under Dean's life perspective, this wolf's life intensity far exceeds that of ordinary people.
"Hoo...ho..."
"What did it say?" Dean asked,
"Let us extinguish the flames and get out of the mountainous area immediately." Kaiden threw away the bare deer leg bones and stood up suddenly, staring at the wolf without blinking. His greasy hands began to remove his shirt and pants, and quickly took off his clothes. Naked.
Then he bent his knees and arched his back, hanging his hands on both sides of his body, in a posture ready to attack. The black shadow he projected on the ground expanded. He flicked his hands and feet, and sickle-like nails popped out from the ends of his limbs. "Dean, wait a moment." Don't interfere, I'm going to challenge it and tell it who is the alpha!"
"OK."
Dean crossed his arms and watched this scene with interest. This was the first time he saw a wolf that dared to challenge a werewolf.
The alpha wolf noticed Kaiden's change, but did not lose courage like the previous wolves. It seemed to be offended, lowering its long snout, its eyes as deep as a cold pool, and silently paced around Kaiden.
The remaining twenty or so wolves tacitly turned to Dean with humane warnings, as if to prevent him from interfering.
When Kaiden was completely covered in dark golden hair, the alpha wolf raised his head proudly, roared, and pounced forward, his sharp claws shining in the firelight, and his gray-black body streaked through the air like a sharp arrow.
Kaiden bent his knees slightly, made a movement to gain momentum, and faced him.
Clang!
Gold and iron clashed, and a dazzling spark exploded in mid-air.
The two pairs of claws passed by, suddenly separated, and then turned around and collided again.
The wind blew fiercely, sparks jumped, and the thick tree trunks split into plum blossom-shaped claw marks. Silver claw shadows rippled in the sky, and a large amount of blood and hair were scattered.
Five seconds later.
Kaiden and Gray Wolf, who were covered in blood, landed on a big tree respectively. Their torn and bleeding claws clung to the rough bark, and their bodies leaned against the gravity and stood on the trunk.
The next second.
Chips of bark were scattered all over the sky.
The tree trunk under Caiden's feet was bent by the huge force, and the rebound force pushed him to rush towards the gray wolf at a faster speed.
The gray wolf counterattacked with equally astonishing speed. Caiden's claws brushed against its fluffy hair, but did not cut through the skin, as if it had pierced a thick layer of moss and slid away.
The gap between Caiden's chest and abdomen was exposed. It took the opportunity to wrap its legs around Caiden's left leg, opened its fangs dripping with saliva, and bit Caiden's abdomen hard.
Tear--
Blood splattered.
The gray wolf swallowed a piece of flesh and was about to pass through the gap on the left side of his chest and abdomen.
Click - with a clear sound of fracture, a huge force hit its waist, but it was Kaiden who elbowed it backwards and knocked it down to the open space beside the campfire. The lumbar vertebrae were as if they were broken and unable to move.
Kaiden didn't intend to let it go like this. He turned around and hugged the gray wolf's back. He put his right hand through its neck and clasped his left hand. Just like Dean had abused himself countless times, he used the noose of death to tighten the neck of the alpha wolf. tight.
Tighten up!
The alpha wolf let out an unwilling and heavy gasp, desperately swinging its four claws to claw at the ground. Dust rose up. It was strangled until its eyes were bloodshot. The turbid saliva dripped down the long snout and fell to the ground, and was absorbed by the soil!
——
Finally, the alpha wolf, who was about to suffocate, let out an intermittent howl.
The surrounding wolves lowered their bodies, crawled towards Kaiden in the center, and howled loudly.
The high-pitched howls of wolves echoed in the forest, echoing each other, like grand cheers, announcing the birth of a new leader.
Caiden grinned, showing his white teeth, and the moonlight illuminated his furry face with a victor's smile.
"I won." He looked at Dean proudly, ready to celebrate the battle that ended in less than ten seconds.
Dean gave him a thumbs up, then his eyelids twitched, and a stinging pain like needles passed through his mind. For a moment, many illusions appeared in front of his eyes - in the nearby dim woodland, spatial folds like water waves suddenly rippled.
Four black shadows silently revealed their shapes in this oscillation... On the tree trunks around the bonfire, in the soil, and in the dark night sky, they were almost completely integrated with the environment... quietly peeping at the two intruders beside the bonfire.
Dean was shocked. He hadn't noticed these peepers before? Immediately, he unreservedly believed in this sign of crisis, fully let go of God's perspective, and completed several actions in just two seconds.
He reached out and grabbed a bow and bone arrows from the fantasy space. He strung the bow and aimed at the top of Kaiden's back.
Whoosh——
The bowstring vibrates!
Arrows buzz!
A cloud of blood exploded in the air above Kaiden's head, and the bone arrow penetrated the chest of a humanoid black figure with a strong outline. It hit a pine tree backwards with its remaining momentum and nailed it to the trunk.
…
Dean clasped his hands and pressed to the right.
Crack!
There was a harsh explosion in the air, and the invisible giant hand pressed down on a birch tree behind Kaiden from top to bottom like a mountain. The trunk broke and fell to the ground!
The second brown figure was squeezed out of the tree trunk. In an instant, it collapsed on the ground under the overwhelming force that it could not resist, and a hollow that was half human and half wolf was pressed out.
Screaming with paralyzed rage.
…
Dean waved his hand to Caiden's left.
"Shadow of the Past" flashes of lightning rushed over, like flexible ribbons fluttering in the wind in mid-air, wrapping around an invisible object.
The third black shadow appeared from the air in the ferocious form of a wolf head and human body. It waved its claws twice, and was wrapped around by the "shadow" from head to toe. It was like a moth caught in a spider web. It struggled for two times and became still. move.
…
Dean's pupils turned as golden as the sun, spinning, absorbing all the light within a ten-meter radius.
The bonfire with crackling sparks was extinguished, the bright moonlight in the sky disappeared, the green eyes of the wolves lost their luster, and the suffocating infinite darkness spread around Dean's body as the center.
There was a groan behind him.
A black shadow integrated with the thick dead branches and leaves on the ground revealed his figure, and his amber vertical pupils looked up at Dean's eyes stupidly, as if looking up at the starry sky.
…
This series of attacks was completed in only two seconds, and all four Peepers lost their resistance.
But it's not over yet.
Platinum-gold light overflowed from Dean's body, tearing apart the darkness of the abyss, then turned into a vigorous flame and radiated around, finally converging on his clenched right fist.
brush--
He dodged and swung his right fist a dozen times like lightning.
A strong wind blew in the forest, and the air erupted with crackling, muffled sounds of bones breaking...
…
Caiden, who was wrapped in darkness, felt a fatal crisis and jumped out of the darkness with all his strength. He panted violently and looked around, his expression dumbfounded.
The group of gray wolves that had been howling before were lying on the ground in pieces, hanging out their tongues and passed out.
And in the open space beside the campfire, there were four burly werewolves covered in black, white, and gray fur that ran out of nowhere, lying neatly on the ground. They were wriggling on the ground like four maggots, struggling to get away. He got up, but the joints of his limbs were all bloody and bruised, and they were all smashed to pieces and could not heal.
Their wet, dark noses beat rhythmically like their hearts, sniffing out the scent of the person squatting in front of them.
Dean was hitting the werewolf's big furry head one by one with a dead branch, his eyes flashing as hot as fire.
"I'll give you a chance to explain. Why are you hiding so secretly? If you don't tell the truth, you'll have to skin them and make them into weapons!"
