……
At that time, the villagers only knew that Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother lived in the forest and was a reclusive old woman.
Meanwhile, the old woman gradually realized something. She paid a huge price to find a bronze-level superhuman who was skilled in languages, and used powerful supernatural artifacts to make unconventional prophecies, ultimately learning a part of the truth about this world.
This world is made up of many "fragments".
The great war more than two hundred years ago was deliberately instigated by a person or a mysterious force with the aim of distributing these "keys".
It was these keys that triggered the fairy tale concept of another world, the surface world, which in turn influenced the concept of this eerie realm.
For example, the wicked queen and the werewolf grandmother are both controlled by an unseen "fate." They have achieved what they have today, but they will also face destruction one day.
Through language, the old woman learned of her own fate and also foresaw the fate of her granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood.
She could let it go herself, since she didn't have much time left anyway, but she couldn't watch Little Red Riding Hood be destroyed by "fate"!
Perhaps behind every act of despair there is a glimmer of hope, and that glimmer is the prophet.
When all destinies converge, a prophet will appear to break them; what the final outcome will be, no one knows. But even in despair, change is a good thing!
At this point, the werewolf old woman, due to countless battles and injuries from her earlier years, and most importantly, the price she paid for prophecy, was nearing the end of her life. It was her last vestige of love for Little Red Riding Hood that sustained her and kept her from dying.
Because she is the strongest werewolf in the entire Black Forest, and also the witness and guarantor of the balance between humans and werewolves.
Once she dies, a life-or-death battle will inevitably erupt between the hunters and werewolves, with the aim of destroying one side. Moreover, if any werewolf manages to obtain the key from her, they will be able to inherit her power.
So it's not just the hunters, even the werewolves might not be thinking that way.
It can be said that the whole world is their enemy!
This was also what the old woman worried about; if she died, Little Red Riding Hood's fate would be unimaginable. In the prophecy, she had already foreseen an even more tragic end.
At this moment, Zhao Hao remembered William the Holy Dog's attitude earlier; it turned out he was hoping to get a bargain at the last minute.
……
Meanwhile, Zhao Hao, Fatty, and the others had already brought Hammer Bro to the evil queen's palace.
Wally is a veteran Bronze, Hammer and Fatty are half-Bronze, Zhao Hao and Black Iron 5-star, Nanaya Saki is Black Iron 4-star peak, and Shiro is just there to fill the gap... This lineup should not be underestimated.
Even the wicked queen was very hospitable, treating him as an honored guest and personally hosting a banquet for him. Her words were full of the attitude of a collaborator, rather than that of an employer or subordinate.
Zhao Hao was multitasking, listening to the werewolf old lady tell stories while also listening to the beautiful, elegant, and dignified queen explain her plans.
Because the werewolf old lady was so open and honest, Zhao Hao also began to guess the Queen's plan.
The Queen's main objective was to get rid of Snow White, and her method was to instigate a witch war!
Could it be that she's trying to break free from "fate" in this way?
Chapter 304 Three-Way Battle!
The old lady no longer has to fight against death; she can finally rest.
She left peacefully, leaving Zhao Hao with six key fragments.
No wonder she's a veteran of over two hundred years of battle; it's no wonder those werewolves coveted their guardian's power and wanted to take her place. This old lady must have been a real hero in her youth!
At this moment, Zhao Hao's main body was already rushing this way.
Because the old lady was being watched by many werewolves, her death couldn't be kept secret for long. The shadow clone's strength wasn't enough to deal with it, so the main body had to come quickly.
As for the Queen, let's keep a fragment of her mind—the Phantom Raven clone!
This is Zhao Hao's last mental clone. With his current strength, he can only create three mental clones.
An Enderman named Raistlin Zhao was showing off to Snow White. Snow White treated him like an honored guest and almost offered her body as collateral to this bronze-level fighter. Zhao Hao, to maintain his mysterious image, reluctantly refused!
Li Aotian Zhao was riding the production team's Lu horse southward with great abandon. He tried to fight whenever possible, avoiding unnecessary arguments. Things were going relatively smoothly, and he even managed to collect two key fragments. Now he was almost at the seaside.
The last one was originally intended as an emergency measure, and it's now left with the wicked queen.
The real body then came to Little Red Riding Hood's side to help her subdue the werewolf.
The werewolf indeed realized that the old lady had passed away.
Most of the werewolves remained restrained, simply banding together to fight and try to elect a leader who could lead all the werewolves.
Meanwhile, some werewolves with ulterior motives quietly crept towards Little Red Riding Hood's home.
They all want to seize the old lady's power. Once they have that power, wouldn't it be normal for them to lead the other werewolves?
Of course, they are also competitors, and if they meet, it will inevitably be a life-or-death battle.
Those who take this risk are basically those with decent strength within the werewolf pack, but lack their own base of influence. If they want to achieve their ambitions, this is the only path!
They were all afraid of the old lady before, and even when she was lying in bed with only one breath left, no one dared to make a move.
Now that she's dead, let's see whose methods are more clever!
……
Little Red Riding Hood hurried home along the forest path with a basket slung over her shoulder. She seemed to have just returned from a village outside the Black Forest, and the basket contained some bread she had bought.
Little Red Riding Hood has a thin werewolf bloodline, and having lived in a human village since childhood, she is not easily identified by hunters. She often goes to towns and villages to buy necessities.
A werewolf hiding in the distant tree canopy, spying on Little Red Riding Hood, pondered: "I just came back from outside; she doesn't seem to know the old lady is dead?!"
Little Red Riding Hood's strength is among the best of the werewolves, after all, she's a descendant of a bronze-level powerhouse. If we can find another way to deal with her, that would be ideal!
With that in mind, he headed towards Little Red Riding Hood's house, which had previously been a forbidden area for all werewolves, intending to make preparations in advance.
There are cunning ones among werewolves!
The fighting at Little Red Riding Hood's house was already fierce, with four werewolves locked in a life-or-death struggle, and three other corpses lying on the ground.
Then this cunning werewolf fell. He was more patient and cunning than the other werewolves, and he never came out, waiting to be the one to pounce on them.
He succeeded.
Just as the last victor, battered and bruised, was about to push open the wooden door, he fatally ripped the victor's heart out from behind.
However, just as he had guessed, there was no "source of power" in the house, not even the old woman's body.
"The old lady must have made some preparations... So, the clue lies with Little Red Riding Hood! The old lady cherishes her granddaughter like a treasure; she must have already told Little Red Riding Hood the secret of her powers. All I need to do is take down Little Red Riding Hood... Hehehehehe!"
He cleaned up the battlefield, then changed into the old lady's pajamas and wig, lay down on the old lady's bed, and quietly waited for Little Red Riding Hood to arrive.
Little Red Riding Hood pushed open the door and entered. "Grandma, I bought bread."
"Thank you, Little Red Riding Hood. Come a little closer so I can get a good look at you."
"Grandma, why are your ears so big?"
"So that I can hear you better."
"But Grandma, why are your eyes so big?" Little Red Riding Hood asked again.
"So that I can see you better."
"Grandma, why are your hands so big?"
"So I can hold you tighter."
"Grandma, why is your mouth so big? It's frightening!"
"I could eat you up in one bite!"
The cunning werewolf disguised as an old woman pounced suddenly. Little Red Riding Hood, who was prepared, was about to make a move when suddenly a figure rushed out from the side and kicked the cunning werewolf away, sending him crashing through the wooden wall and flying outside.
"Are you alright, Little Red Riding Hood?" William asked casually, brushing a strand of long golden hair from his forehead.
"William?" Little Red Riding Hood's eyes widened and her ears perked up.
Where's Zhao Hao? Why did William suddenly appear?!
Zhao Hao, who was hiding in the shadows preparing to make his move, was also puzzled: How did a big-tailed wolf suddenly appear?! Is it trying to play the hero and save the girl here?!
That cunning werewolf was cunning, but the holy dog William was ten times more cunning!
The cunning werewolf only wanted to disguise himself as an old lady and steal Little Red Riding Hood. William, however, was thinking of something far more outrageous: to gain both her and the girl's wealth!
So William started fighting the cunning werewolf.
Although William was severely damaged by Chanem Zhao's scheme, he has now recovered to Iron 5 stars thanks to the trend of psionic resurgence and his past accumulation.
Not to mention that he understands more advanced psionic applications, knows more spells, and his combat skills and experience are far superior to those of the werewolf. He also possesses "divine blood," so even though he held back, he only fought for three or four minutes and killed the cunning werewolf after sustaining only minor injuries.
William pretended to be overwhelmed and stumbled a few steps away from Little Red Riding Hood. Even so, he looked up and asked with a face full of infatuation and concern, "Little Red Riding Hood, are you hurt?"
"That's good. I was worried about you~" He casually flicked the long golden hair on his forehead.
William couldn't help but feel smug. His blond hair was quite striking; even as a werewolf, he would be the brightest star.
What he didn't realize was that he had already subconsciously accepted his werewolf identity.
In reality, many ordinary people who have fallen into this strange predicament have already begun to be subtly assimilated by fairy tales.
They began to identify with their roles in the story, and even started to forget their past experiences in reality.
This is, after all, a strange place; besides the danger of the environment, the world itself is also dangerous.
William originally intended to play the hero and use a self-inflicted injury to deceive the naive Little Red Riding Hood. However, Little Red Riding Hood just stood there looking at him with suspicion.
Damn it, why didn't that blonde girl come to help me up? Doesn't she have any compassion at all?!
At this moment, Zhao Hao emerged from the shadows: "Thank you, Mr. William."
Zhao Hao gently put his arm around Little Red Riding Hood's shoulder and hid her behind him.
William's hairy face flushed crimson, overwhelmed by extreme shame. He'd been made a fool of! Right in front of me, you...you...ah~~~I'll kill you all! Kill!
Without warning, he leaped forward, only to be swatted away by Zhao Hao's Dragon-Capturing Hand technique in mid-air.
Although the Shadow Clone is only at the level of Black Iron 3, the Dragon Capture Hand has the effect of challenging opponents of higher levels. It directly sent William flying more than ten meters away, crashing into a large tree and causing him to vomit blood.
"Damn it! You damned beast! You lowly creature! How dare you... how dare you injure me! I will never let you get away with this!"
The corrupted divine blood within him began to boil, his entire body swelled, all the hair on his body turned golden, saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, and his spiritual energy began to surge.
In an instant, he covered more than ten meters, moving like a ghost as he circled around Zhao Hao and Little Red Riding Hood, his sharp claws sparking like steel knives against the surface of the barrier!
Zhao Hao held up the barrier for more than three minutes before finally letting out a sigh of relief. His main body had arrived.
With a loud "bang," Zhao Hao, who was next to Little Red Riding Hood, vanished in a puff of white smoke. Little Red Riding Hood and William were both stunned.
Little Red Riding Hood was terrified! Already suffering the loss of her loved ones, she now saw her only support disappear before her eyes, and she couldn't hold back her tears.
