Ch. 38 Wilden lifted the damaged armor on the Soldier's chest to show Mia

“Is it wolves?” Mia asked with a frown.

“No.” Wilden replied: “Besides wolves, there is something else.

Wolves cannot bite through armor.” Wilden lifted the damaged armor on the Soldier’s chest to show Mia.

It was a straight and horrifying gash.

Wilden pressed on the Soldier’s chest again.

“The ribs are all broken, and the direction of the fracture is consistent with the fracture on the armor.” Wolves could not cause such wounds.

It could only be some kind of extremely heavy sharp weapon that could make a Royal Army Soldier appear in such a miserable state.

Wilden raised his head again.

Walking towards the bushes.

Mia followed behind the big shot without saying a word.

“There were other people here originally.” Wilden looked around and discovered some baggage belonging to the people piled up on the clearing.

Furthermore, there were traces of heavy objects being dragged on the ground.

Wilden continued: “Those people were dragged away after being subdued, perhaps by wolves, or perhaps by that thing accompanying the wolves.

But wild animals would not easily let themselves be injured, and even less likely to take huge risks to attack fully armed people when food is abundant.” Mia remembered seeing that deer on the road earlier.

For carnivores, this forest does not lack food.

“Are you saying those wolves have an owner?” Wilden nodded.

Mia was also deep in thought.

She didn’t know why, but those wolves and that thing left one Soldier behind, who was discovered by her and dragged out by Wilden.

If it was because of their approach that they left in a hurry…

No.

They dared to attack multiple people, so why would they flee from a team composed of a blind girl, a merchant, a donkey, and a Soldier?

Mia swallowed her saliva, looking at the unrecognizable Godrick Soldier: “Will he come back to life?” “Yes.” Wilden nodded: “But it will probably take a long time; these wounds will take at least two or three days to heal.

As for those who were dragged away…” If those wolves dragged the people away for food.

Then they probably have no chance of coming back to life.

Mia understood and didn’t ask further.

Come to think of it, are there really animals that eat dried-up Erdtree Folk?

Is the texture different from jerky?

“Although I don’t know where they are going.” Wilden looked at the Soldier: “But if it were me, I would march without stopping for a moment.” “But feeling tired is human nature, right?” Mia said softly.

Wilden nodded helplessly.

Not everyone is like him, having long been accustomed to the pain that immortality brings.

These people might be young immortals.

But Mia was right, feeling tired is human nature.

As long as one still lives in this world where one cannot die, it is impossible to ignore these feelings.

In the long years, one must either become the one-in-a-million Return to the Erdtree, or be unable to bear the curse of immortality and fall into madness.

He had no reason to blame these people for stopping to rest.

The only thing he could blame was that they were too relaxed and vigilant, and were wiped out by the enemy in one go.

“Be careful on the road ahead.” Wilden stood up.

There weren’t many clues left by the victims and the perpetrators.

What they know now is that something is hidden in the forest, together with wolves.

“Hmm…” Mia looked at the Soldier lying on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and said: “Will it be dragged away by wolves if we just leave it like this?” “Probably.” Wilden said.

“Then let’s help?” Mia turned her head to look at him.

“How?” “Do it like this…” — — With Wilden’s help, that poor Godrick Soldier was placed on a tree by the two.

About four or five meters off the ground, stuck in the middle of the branches.

If wolves can’t climb trees, then it should be safe here.

If it is as Wilden said, and this Soldier needs many days to come back to life, then there is no need to worry.

In that time, Mia estimated she would have already run to Stormgate and then headed south to find Master Sellen.

After finishing all this, the two went back to find Kalé, who was still waiting in place, and explained the situation to him.

“Let’s hurry up and leave.” Kalé led Amia, and as the three passed by the campsite, the donkey anxiously kept pulling at the reins in the merchant’s hand.

The smell of wolves was very pungent to it.

For the next half day, the three accelerated their pace.

Of course, it didn’t have much to do with Mia, as she was riding the donkey the whole time.

When realizing that danger is nearby, looking at any scenery around you, you feel that those things are coveting you.

The good mood from when they first entered the forest in the morning was completely gone.

When the sky was about to complete another cycle, turning from day to night, the light in the forest disappeared even earlier.

Under the cover of the canopy, the forest at the same time was darker than the plains of the previous few days.

“Find a place to camp.” Kalé and Mia couldn’t travel all night.

If they forced themselves to travel while their nerves were tense and they were extremely tired, various accidents could happen in the haze.

For example, turning around and finding the Soldier on the donkey missing, while the Soldier leading the donkey was completely unaware.

Then turning around again and finding both people missing, with only the donkey left.

Wilden chose a huge ruin half-buried in the ground as a backing, and the three lit a campfire in the shadow tilted in front of the ruin.

“Have you ever thought about where these ruins actually come from?” Mia suddenly asked Wilden.

“Sometimes they fall from the sky.” Wilden replied: “But no one knows why they fall from the sky.” Kalé, along with Mia and Wilden, collected all the fallen leaves around, surrounding the campsite with a circle of leaves as high as a foot.

Kalé seemed to have some experience in dealing with such situations.

“If something approaches, the leaves will rustle.

And Amia is always sensitive.” “The campfire at night must be kept burning.” “I will pay attention.” Wilden said.

Before the forest completely plunged into darkness, they hurried to collect quite a bit of dry firewood.

Wilden placed it within easy reach.

After doing all this, the night completely arrived.

The dark forest was like a huge black net, shrouding the three in an impenetrable darkness.

The trees stretched upward from all directions, closely connected to the surrounding trees, forming a heavy barrier, and no one knew what was hidden within.

Mia couldn’t sleep at all.

The imagination of the enemy actually outweighed the fear of it.

Since transmigrating, she had become much more confident than before.

She believed that anything that dared to invade could be repelled by her and her companions.

Just like what they encountered in the deserted village the day before yesterday.

This emotion kept lingering with her until the second half of the night.

She had been closing her eyes to rest, not daring to slack off at all while trying to rest.

Until a distant wolf howl came from the wind.

It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?

“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
