The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Chapter 17 Strange Wolves

The witch reported three wolf packs, and the straight-line distance from south to north was probably more than ten kilometers.

Xu Lai had to get close to investigate before he could confirm whether the other party was the wolf pack he was looking for. The way to confirm was very simple, he just needed to see if any of the wolves were injured.

The wolf pack's raid through the fence last night wasn't very effective.

On the contrary, the experienced hunters in the village seriously injured many prairie wolves even in the dark.

Xu Lai inquired and found out that this world is full of magic power and ordinary injuries can be recovered quickly.

According to the original words of the Lachi village chief whom Xu Lai met, someone had cut a wound about 20 centimeters long on his back, and the deepest part of the wound was three centimeters long.

There were no chaplains with the army at that time, and there was no medicine for lightly wounded soldiers like them, so the wounds all relied on self-healing ability, which took him a full five days.

At that time, Lazi was just a second-level infantryman, and his physical fitness was not even as high as that of Xu Lai now, only 11 points.

The physical attributes of level 1 steppe wolves are even worse. The average attributes of level 1 humanoid units are about 10 points, while the average attributes of level 0 peasant units are around 7 or 8 points, with females a little lower.

In addition, among the first-level units, those that are larger than humanoids will generally have higher strength and physique, but lower intelligence, agility, etc.

Others are mostly Tier 1 units whose attributes are weaker than those of humanoids in all aspects. For example, the undead Tier 1 skeleton soldiers have attributes worse than those of Tier 0 farmers. If a farmer is not afraid, he can kill at least two skeleton soldiers.

Prairie wolves are relatively agile creatures, and even the Wolf King's constitution may not have 10 points, so there must be many prairie wolves that are injured.

Past experience has also verified this. The village chief Lazi said that after a wolf attack, they often rest and wait for a period of time. This time should be used to heal their wounds.

Therefore, among the three wolf packs, Xu Lai preferred the one in the southwest. Not only was there a large number of wolves, but there were also two wolf king-level packs.

But logically speaking, there cannot be two wolf kings in a wolf pack, not even one male and one female.

Of course, this is a different world. Xu Lai has made such mistakes before, and he will definitely not speculate based on common sense again.

Those lying in the wolf pack may be young wolves, or they may be injured adult wolves.

Moreover, in terms of numbers, only this pack of more than 20 wolves can pose a threat to the village.

A temporary single-plank bridge was built using the wood in his backpack. There was no place for the round thing to rest. Xu Lai, who was afraid of water, crossed the bridge in fear.

After crossing the small bridge, the group of people headed towards the wolf pack's lair. The grass was growing all around. Xu Lai and the others only needed to be slightly shorter to be completely submerged in the grass.

To be honest, this feeling is not very pleasant, especially when the sight is greatly affected in the grass.

Xu Lai led the horse, with a level 3 archer in front and a level 4 witch above his head. He walked in the grass for more than two hours before approaching the destination.

This trip was very hard, especially since he didn't dare to take off his heavy knight's robe, otherwise the weeds around him would scratch him to death.

However, wearing such heavy clothes and it was the hottest time in the middle of the day, I was still sweating a lot even though the weather had not yet reached summer.

At this time, they were very close to the wolves, and the witch was hovering above the wolves. Unfortunately, Xu Lai could not see what the witch saw.

And although the witch can see and find the target designated by Xu Lai, she knows nothing else and can't see anything.

Along the way, they encountered hyenas that were hunting in groups. Xu Lai and the others were so frightened that they almost took action. However, the witch flying in the sky turned a blind eye to this without any warning.

Because the hyenas were not hostile creatures and did not actively attack them. They were not the targets Xu Lai needed to find, so they were completely ignored.

When the hyenas saw Xu Lai and the others, they did not attack. They even gave up on their prey and dispersed in a flash.

Xu Lai didn't have a telescope, so he had to do something risky.

He chose a place with relatively high terrain, then turned over and mounted his horse.

He originally wanted to stand higher and see further, but he didn't want to expose himself directly to the perspective of the wolves.

The wolf is an extremely sensitive creature, and the dog was domesticated from the wolf. The dog's nose is as sensitive as the wolf's nose.

In addition, Xu Lai and the others could hunker down and walk in the grass, but Xu Lai's horse couldn't. In fact, the wolves had already noticed them, but they just stayed where they were.

Xu Lai climbed onto the horse and saw that there were two huge wolf kings among the wolves. They were probably only a little smaller than the ordinary horse he was sitting on and about the same size as a donkey. They were using them in unison. A pair of wolf eyes stared at him.

Swallowing, Xu Lai glanced at the other party awkwardly. The distance between the two sides was only two to three hundred meters. Once the prairie wolf charged, only Xu Lai on horseback would have a chance to escape.

Xu Lai kept cursing himself in his heart. How could he be so reckless? Did he really treat the real world as a game?

For a moment, Xu Lai stayed on the horse, not knowing whether to take the people back immediately, or to quickly adjust the team before the wolves launched an attack.

The weeds on the ground are as tall as half a person. The taller ones can even block the entire person, which has a great impact on the shooter.

If he didn't take the opportunity to pick a higher position now, he might not be able to hit a few targets until the wolves got close.

However, Xu Lai thought about it for a long time on the horse, but the group of prairie wolves still maintained their previous posture, motionless.

Being stared at by dozens of pairs of wolf eyes, Xu Lai panicked for a moment, but fortunately Su Ya reminded him in time:

"Master, these prairie wolves don't seem to be hostile to us."

When Su Ya said this, Xu Lai also reacted. The reaction of this group of wild wolves was too strange.

They were all lying on the ground to rest at this time, and the weeds around the nest had long been flattened, indicating that this was indeed their fixed nest.

If it is a natural creature, when encountering an opponent in the wild, they will either attack, run away, or confront each other, but there is no one who can still watch quietly when everyone else breaks into the nest.

Xu Lai tentatively urged the horse to take a few steps forward, while the wolves still lay there calmly watching.

It wasn't until Xu Lai and the others were a hundred meters away from the wolves that the two leading wolf kings suddenly stood up. A dozen adult wolves behind them also stood up, and the prairie wolf lying resting further away also stood up. .

More than a hundred meters away, Xu Lai could already see clearly. The prairie wolves standing in the farthest distance were all unsteady, and most of their gray-green hair was stained with traces of blood.

Even after they stood up, Xu Lai could still see arrows and broken feather shafts scattered around them, and he didn't know how they pulled them off.

In short, Xu Lai was able to confirm that these were the culprits who attacked Gram Village.
