With wind element wrapped around the soles of my feet, a sense of lightness arises spontaneously. The feeling of increasing speed with wind element is completely different from that of using lightning element. Using lightning element to increase speed stimulates the leg muscles, and using it too much will inevitably cause soreness, but using wind element is completely different.
The gentle breeze felt more like stepping on a wind slime; every movement generated a gust of wind that not only increased speed but also reduced energy consumption, though it was a bit troublesome to control.
The Beast Hound stared blankly at its delicious prey before crashing headfirst into a tree. What had happened? It had only seen a flash of white before the prey slammed into the tree. Was this prey so stupid? Would they become stupid after eating it?
Thinking of his boss constantly scolding them for being stupid, the beast-hunting hound, who had just finished eating, abandoned Su Bai, who was still rubbing his forehead. He called over a few beast-hunting cubs and prepared to continue hunting lone wolves. These stupid prey should be left for the stupid wolves. As a noble beast-hunting hound, he was very smart.
"It hurts so much! I need to go back and learn how to control wind elements from Master Xiao. Why does this thing hurt so much when I bump into it?"
"Hey, hey, don't go! I want to study you guys properly, don't run away!"
"No, you're coming to eat me! I just took a shower yesterday, I smell really nice."
Su Bai's words did not stop the Beast Hound. On the contrary, the Beast Hound gave Su Bai, who was 'self-promoting,' a disdainful look, and then disappeared into the bushes without looking back. Even if it starved to death, it would rather jump back into the abyss than eat this brainless food.
Now it was Su Bai's turn to be dumbfounded. Didn't that history book say that the Beast Realm Hounds were inherently ferocious and would scratch anyone they saw? Fake books are harmful! Helpless, Su Bai had no choice but to remove the wind element from his feet and switch to lightning element to continue chasing the Beast Realm Hounds. If he let this guy go unchecked, the wolves in the Wolf Territory might be ambushed by it.
Elsewhere, in a completely different atmosphere from the gloomy and quiet Wolf's Den, Springvale was bustling with activity. Many people were discussing the wolf pack that had attacked Springvale. When Luminous and Amber arrived after receiving the news, the wolf pack had already left.
Luminous and Amber originally wanted to ask the residents of Springvale for information, but the people kept talking at once and quickly confused them. With no other option, Luminous had to take Amber to Diona's house to ask about the situation.
Inside Diona's house, Diona was bandaging the wounds of her father and ancestor. Using the freezing effect of the ice element, Diona successfully froze the bleeding wound, but this was only a temporary solution. Such a deep wound still needed to be treated by Miss Barbara in Mondstadt.
“Those nasty wolves are really wicked. Father, why didn’t you send someone to ask the Knights of Favonius for help? If I hadn’t come back early today, you two would have been in danger.”
谷餝
"Oh, Diona, don't even mention it. I sent people to find the Knights of Favonius, but when they heard that the flying wolves had attacked Springvale, they almost died laughing. They even scolded the people I sent, saying that I shouldn't joke about the Knights of Favonius."
Dulav angrily slammed his fist on the table, but the force of the movement caused his wounds to bleed again. The sudden pain made this skilled hunter howl in agony.
"Dad, be careful, I just froze your wound."
Diona complained as she tied a cute bow on Dulaf's wound with the bandage. Her ancestor Olaf wanted to make fun of Dulaf, but he pulled on the wound instead, and his hearty laugh immediately turned into a grinning face.
"It looks like Mr. Dulaf and Mr. Olaf are both badly injured. They might be going to find Barbara later, so let's not disturb them."
Paimon saw the bandages on Dulaf and Olaf's bodies through the window and immediately covered his eyes. Bright and Amber, who were standing nearby, heard Paimon say that Dulaf and Mr. Olaf were badly injured and that they didn't intend to bother Diona. They wanted to investigate on their own first and then ask the other residents.
After some investigation, Amber was almost certain that the wolf pack that attacked Clearspring Town came from Wolf Territory, and that Wolf Territory was the only place that could possess both wolves and Hookfruit seeds.
"Once we find the pack of wolves that did this, we'll pluck all their fur off as punishment."
"That's because you, Paimon, want to make a fortune by making wolf hair brushes, don't think I don't know your little schemes."
"Huh? Ying, how did you figure it out? I was clearly pretending."
Despite Ying's complaints, Paimon still clung to the tuft of wolf fur, because she had just heard Amber say that wolf hair brushes were very valuable in Liyue. If she could collect more wolf fur, she might be able to make a small fortune when she went to Liyue.
"But if it really was the wolves from Wolf's Lair who did it, how would the Knights of Favonius punish them? They can't just lock them up in jail, can they?"
Ying's question stumped Amber. Right, Mondstadt's laws don't seem to have any provisions related to animal crimes. She clearly remembered that the group that dug up Lawrence's grave last time were extradited to Liyue for punishment because Mondstadt didn't have any laws about grave robbing.
If wolves attack people now, Mondstadt doesn't seem to have any means of punishment. They can't exactly build a wall around Wolfrun and enclose it, can they?
Not to mention how much Mora it would cost, it's also impractical. Wolves are naturally free-spirited packs, and doing this might exacerbate the conflict between humans and wolves. In the end, it would be humans who suffer because the wolves develop a rebellious mentality.
"Sigh, I don't know how to punish him either. Let's leave it to Commander Qin to figure out."
Amber was getting a headache from thinking. She realized she wasn't good at using her brain, but even if she threw this problem at Captain Kaeya, who was quick-witted, it might not yield any results, since the implications were just too great.
"Let's not think about it anymore. Let's hurry up and ask the witnesses. Commander Qin should be good at this kind of brain-teasing thing."
Chapter 85 The group about to gather in the Wolf Territory
"You're back. What results did you find in your investigation?"
"You stood up?"
Hopkins stood there, looking furtive as he questioned Amber. This surprised Paimon; just moments ago, this man had been lying on the ground looking like he was about to die, but now he was standing up so quickly. It was truly amazing.
"Haha, I've recovered. You could even say I crawled back from hell."
"So, has the Knights obtained their investigation results?"
Hopkins' face showed the joy of surviving a disaster, but he also asked Amber a question without any politeness, as if Amber was obligated to answer it. Paimon found this rude tone very annoying.
"From the remaining hairs, we can only tell that the wolf pack should live in Benlang Territory, but there are no other clues."
"But don't worry, I will go to Wolf Territory immediately to investigate this matter. The Knights will never allow such a dangerous thing to happen again."
Amber's good manners allowed her to answer Hopkins' questions seriously, and she also assured Hopkins that the Knights would investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Alright, alright, it's better to remedy the situation a little late than to do nothing at all."
Hopkins shrugged, seemingly dissatisfied with the outcome, as if he wanted to blame the Knights for everything. Paimon finally couldn't stand it anymore and weakly complained, hands on his hips.
"Wow, this person is so rude."
"Hmph, whatever you say, we need to get on with what we're supposed to do now."
"Hey, don't do anything stupid."
Amber stomped her feet in frustration as she watched Rupukins leave. These people were really something. Her grandfather's old saying about Liyue was right: "Good words are useless against these damned fools."
"Wolf Territory is a very dangerous place, you should come back quickly."
"What a joke! We're not like the Knights. We have to get our revenge."
The hunters, spurred on by Hopkins, also clamored to go to Wolf Ridge to seek revenge on the wolves that had attacked them. Dulav, who had been present throughout the exhibition, shook his head and tried to dissuade them after seeing the scene outside.
"Hey, come back quickly, young man, don't be so impetuous."
“Mr. Dulaf, what kind of young man isn’t impetuous? You should go see Miss Barbara for treatment.”
Dulav was annoyed by the young hunter. "Good grief, I'm trying to save you and you're just being sarcastic. Fine, I'm not going to be a good Samaritan anymore. I'll go to Mondstadt to see Barbara for treatment. If I'm lucky, I might even get a drink at Angel's Gift."
"How tragic!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about their future."
Paimon scratched her head, somewhat unable to understand Dulaf's words. Dulaf took a deep look at the hunters' backs, then limped towards Mondstadt with a makeshift cane. Behind him, Diona was supporting Olaf as they moved slowly.
They, the Ketzline, had always believed in the legend of the Wolf King of Wolflands, so when they were attacked by wolves, Olaf asserted that it couldn't have been the wolves of Wolflands. But they knew that even if they explained to the hunters of Springvale, these hunters, blinded by rage, wouldn't believe them.
"Please take care of these hunters a little longer. These young people these days just won't listen to advice."
谷猵
"Don't worry, Mr. Dulaf, I will protect them. We'll head to Wolf's Den now."
After greeting Dulaf and the others, Amber immediately ran towards Wolfrune. As a Knight of Favonius, she had a duty to protect the residents of Mondstadt, even if some of them were reckless.
The scene shifts to Wolf Territory. After dealing with the beast-hunting hounds and beast cubs, Su Bai develops a strong interest in this type of monster. At the same time, he is puzzled as to why this thing is here. According to the Inazuma History Book, this thing was supposed to be extinct except for a large-scale appearance during the calamity five hundred years ago.
"Indeed, you can't believe everything in books. I wonder who wrote that book."
"Brother Su Bai, what are you doing here?"
Razer jumped down from a large tree. He seemed surprised when he saw the corpse of the Beast Realm Hound next to Su Bai, as if he had seen something incredible.
“Benett asked me to come and see you since you didn’t come to him today, to see if you were in any trouble. It seems I’ve come at just the right time.”
"No, no, the problem has been solved."
Lei Ze shook his head and stammered as he explained to Su Bai what had happened that day. Su Bai finally understood at the end that he had arrived too late; the wolf pack had already driven away the Beast Realm Hounds.
"Are all the wolves in Mondstadt this powerful? This thing floats in mid-air; it's a bit of a hassle for me to deal with it."
Su Bai kicked the corpse of the Beast Realm Hound. Not only were its claws incredibly sharp, but it could also teleport away, disappearing in a flash and then suddenly reappearing behind you. If Su Bai hadn't reacted quickly, he would have really been caught off guard.
"It was it that made the move. The wolf pack fought with the intruding black wolves for a short while, and then the black wolves were all driven away."
"It? And who is it?"
Hey~
A wolf howl interrupted Lei Ze and Su Bai's conversation. Upon hearing the howl, a hint of anger and worry appeared on Lei Ze's icy face. He got up and ran towards the location from which the howl came.
"Oh no, I've encountered wolves and that group of ill-intentioned people. I have to go help them."
"Good heavens, what is all this? But since I'm already here, I might as well go and take a look. Maybe there'll be something interesting to see."
Lei Ze's resilient legs darted through the jungle, and no one knew how he did it. Despite the many branches blocking his way, he seemed unaffected and continued to move swiftly.
This almost drove Su Bai, who was behind him, to depression. He hadn't torn his coat while fighting the beast hounds, but it got torn by branches after they went into a grove of trees. He couldn't understand why he, a fox, couldn't be so agile, while Lei Ze could.
Meanwhile, in Mondstadt, Yura, who had just finished her patrol, was planning to buy a few bottles of cider from Angel's Gift. Tonight, her sister, the Divine Child, was going to make udon noodles and fried tofu. Fried tofu was a great dish to accompany cider, and Yura certainly wouldn't miss it.
"Mr. Durah? What happened to you? Are you so badly injured? Did you get drunk again and wander into the Hilichurl camp?"
Inside Angel's Gift, as soon as Yura pushed open the door, she was immediately drawn to Dulaf's appearance, which was covered in bandages. When Dulaf saw Yura teasing him, he told her about what happened in Springvale. Upon hearing that Amber had gone to Wolfrun, Yura didn't even buy any wine and rushed towards Wolfrun with her sacrificial greatsword.
Unbeknownst to the two, Diluc had witnessed everything. After Yura left the Angel's Gift, Diluc picked up the Greatsword of Favonius hanging on the wall, told the bard to keep an eye on him, and then headed towards Wolf's Lair with his sword in hand.
"Hey, if I remember correctly, Andreus seems to still have some of Thor's divine power left in his body. I wonder if Diluc can gain Andreus's approval."
"If he passes Andrius's trial, will he be so happy that he doesn't have to pay back his debt?"
"No way, I can't miss this kind of good show."
As a gentle breeze blew by, Wendy disappeared into the angel's gift. Charles, who was responsible for watching Wendy, frowned. The bard had gotten away again. He had run away five times that day. No way, he had to cut Wendy's wages in half for today.
Chapter Eighty-Six Hooked Fruit
Outside the Wolf Territory, Razer was stopped by Amber. Because Amber had chatted with Razer at yesterday's banquet and knew that Razer was Lisa's disciple, Amber did not suspect that Razer had driven the wolf pack to attack Clear Spring Town.
"Rayze, do you know where the wolves that attacked Clearspring Town are? I want to negotiate with them."
"There are no bad wolves in Run Wolf Territory."
"The bad wolf has been driven away."
Razer looked anxious. He had heard the wolf's howl clearly, and if he didn't hurry over, the wolf might be in mortal danger.
"Bad Wolf? What bad wolf? Razer, explain yourself clearly."
"It looks like Raize has something urgent to do. Let's hurry up and follow him to see what's going on."
Razer ignored Amber's words and turned to leave, leaving Amber standing there looking somewhat embarrassed, feeling ignored by Razer. Paimon, noticing Amber's awkwardness, quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Amber, let's get going. Rizer might need our help."
