Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 24 The Shadow of the Black Church
"Ouch~"

The sudden change was beyond Li Yu's expectations. For some reason, the Bone-Spurred Wolf, which had originally let down its guard and was patrolling the mountain as usual, suddenly howled to the sky, and the wolves behind it also became restless.

"what happened?"

Li Yu's face looked extremely ugly.

"Has the smell in the camp not been dealt with?"

"impossible!"

The madman next to him frowned, looking puzzled. Whether it was military law or hunting magicians, the participants in the operation undoubtedly had rich experience in the wild, and clearing the smell from the camp should have been a familiar task.

"Be prepared to signal."

At this point, Li Yu didn't bother to get to the bottom of the matter. He said something to the madman, and arcs of electricity jumped in his hands, as if he was ready for battle.

"clear."

The madman took out a special transmitter from his arms and pressed it, and then the two continued to lie in the same place.

On the other side, in the joint team that had not walked far, Jun Qianshan looked solemnly at the signal light in his hand that lit up silently and flashed a dazzling red light. He ordered everyone in a serious tone to speed up, and then sent out two wind mages to guard the rear.

"These demon wolves should not have smelled our scent."

A few minutes later, the pack of magic wolves were still standing there motionless, still looking anxious. At this time, the more experienced madman spoke in an uncertain tone.

"Why do you say that?"

Li Yu is just an ordinary high school student after all. His knowledge of the one-eyed demon wolf is limited to the information he has read, and he cannot compare with an old hunter like Fengzi.

"The one-eyed wolf has an extremely developed sense of smell. When there is a clear leader, it has a strong execution ability."

The madman kept his eyes on the wolves that were behaving strangely, and explained in a low voice:
"Once the one-eyed demon wolves discover that a strange creature has entered their territory, they will immediately take action to find the intruder."

"Even if we cut off the scent route, we will scatter under the orders of the upper wolf tribes such as the Bone Spike Wolf and track in various directions instead of circling in place like this."

"The current situation..."

The madman made cautious guesses,
"It seems that there is something abnormal in this valley that makes the one-eyed demon wolves uncomfortable. This group of demon wolves are trying to find this abnormality."

"Abnormal? Is there any?"

Li Yu was puzzled. Twenty to thirty people from the joint team stayed in the valley for two days, including a healing mage, who was quite scarce in Bo City. They checked the valley from top to bottom and inside to outside before setting up camp. If there was any abnormality, how could it be hidden from the joint team's perception and detection.

"This one……"

The madman was also aware of the caution of the joint team and was not sure about the accuracy of the answer, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Another two hours passed, and the pack of demon wolves, having gained nothing, were about to leave. Li Yu and the others were also ready to lift the alarm.

"Ouch!!!"

Suddenly, a heart-stirring wolf howl came from deep in the mountains. Without anyone else's explanation, Li Yu could easily feel the undisguised anger and impatience in the wolf's howl.

As the wolves howled, the entire mountain range began to shake. Countless birds were startled from the forest. The repeated howling of the wolves made people feel chilled to the bone and their backs felt cold. The wolves in the valley seemed to have heard the order. Their originally hesitant movements became quick and decisive, and they spread their legs and ran towards the source of the howling.

Li Yu looked in the direction of the wolf's howl.

"Is that the direction of the two-headed demon wolf?"

There are not many commander-level monsters around Bo City, and the two-headed demon wolf happens to be one of them. Li Yu also roughly understands the locations of several commander-level monsters.

The madman nodded.

"The two-headed demon wolf seems very angry."

His tone was not panic-stricken, but rather slightly excited and agitated.
"Brother Yuchen, do you want to go and take a look?"

Um? ? ! !

Li Yu looked at the madman who was eager to try with a look of horror, You are really a madman!

This scene clearly shows a demonic riot. The entire mountain range might be in danger. And you actually want to throw yourself into the center of the riot?

"Don't look at me like that." The madman naturally noticed Li Yu's look, but he smiled indifferently and explained his reasons.

"Brother Yuchen, don't forget our mission this time."

Li Yu certainly understood the intelligence about the Demon Wolf Tribe.

But the mission is the mission, and it does not allow him to rush into the presence of a commander-level demon and die!
It's still the kind of death without a whole body.

Just two million, why are you playing with your life?
"Brother, think about it. The howl of this two-headed demon wolf is definitely not normal. Does this mean that we are very close to the truth?"

"Yes. But..."

Li Yu was still ready to refuse. At this point, as long as he returned safely, the two million would be in his hands for sure. If he listened to the madman's sweet talk and continued recklessly, he would not get a penny more even if he found out the truth about the riot of the Demon Wolf Tribe. He would also have to take a 90% risk of being torn to pieces by the angry wolves. It was not worth it, absolutely not worth it!

It would be better to report the situation of the two-headed demon wolf, and naturally there will be stronger magicians coming to this wolf den to explore the way.

He just didn't believe it. Just because of temporary anger, this two-headed demon wolf, which was more clever than a human, would have the courage to attack the city of Bo which was a hundred kilometers away?
Li Yu considered him the light of demons as he was able to step into the gate of Bocheng's Anjie. With such ability, could the two-headed demon wolf be just a small demon leader?

"Brother, it seems we don't need to retreat."

Suddenly, the madman pulled Li Yu with interest, and the latter was stunned.
"What do you mean?"

"Look over there!"

"there?"

Puzzled, Li Yu looked in the direction of the madman's finger, and a cloud of dust appeared at the end of his vision. More than a dozen skull-spiked wolves were leading the way, followed by hundreds of one-eyed demon wolves. The scene of the wolves galloping through the mountains made Li Yu, who had never seen such a big scene, feel his legs go weak.

Not only that, wolf packs also appeared in other directions of the mountains. Within this narrow area of ​​five kilometers, thousands of one-eyed demon wolves were participating in the event, making people wonder if they were preparing to hold a meeting.

Forget it! No need to run! Wait for death!
If their position was exposed even a little, these thousand one-eyed demon wolves would tear them into pieces and finally excrete them out of their bodies, turning them into fertilizer to nourish the mountains.

"Brother, are these one-eyed demon wolves chasing someone?"

The madman was calmer. With his sharp eyes, he spotted a dozen or so little guys in front of the wolf pack.

"Be good!"

After seeing the figure being chased, Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said in an inexplicable tone,
"Did these people assassinate the king or kidnap the crown prince? How could they have the entire Demon Wolf Tribe chasing them?"

In this situation, even if Zhan Kong is put in, he will be dead without activating the Wings of Wind!

Li Yu had no intention of lending a helping hand. Surrounded by thousands of demons, if Li Yu and his companions joined in, they would only add two piles of fertilizer to the mountain.

"They seem to be from the Black Church."

"The Black Church?"

Li Yu's face changed. A group of arrogant and conceited magic hunters who took the initiative to provoke the demon tribe and the Black Church are completely different events!
As expected, as the distance got closer, several figures wearing gray robes and riding humanoid mounts that were neither human nor ghost became clearly visible, and from time to time, a few inhuman and strange creatures appeared behind them to slightly block the surging wolf pack.

The Black Beast Demon and the Cursed Beast Demon are the exclusive demons of the Black Church and can be regarded as the identity cards of the members of the Black Church.

"Why would anyone from the Black Church come and provoke the two-headed demon wolf for no reason?"

"I don't know. Anyway, these beasts are definitely not here to do good things."

The madman's tone was filled with contempt. Anyone who had been around for a long time and had some understanding of the Black Church's "great achievements" would not have a good impression of this inhumane organization.

"What a pity, I didn't bring my camera."

Li Yu felt a little regretful. Such conclusive evidence would definitely attract the attention of higher-level beings.

“It will probably take a while.”

Li Yu watched the members of the Black Church below being torn to pieces one by one, with no ripples in his heart. Instead, he turned over and lay down after the wolves gradually dispersed.

"Brother, don't you plan to go take a look while the wolf den is empty now?"

The madman was mumbling in his ear again, and Li Yu slapped him on the face.
"Take a break!"
