Werewolf hunting rules

Lucas, Gerhardt, Makon, Sorodan, and Lydia were the five people that the Black Claw clan initially decided to send to deal with Edwards.

Among them, Macon and Sorodan are cousins, but their relationship is not worse than that of brothers, perhaps even better. Lucas and Linde's beautiful daughter Lydia are cousins, and they are considered to be of the same bloodline, but they are not close to each other, and they are not familiar with the two brothers.

These young werewolves were all tall and strong, except for Gerhardt, who was the shortest.

He is a generation older than all the werewolves mentioned above, over 40 years old, close to the youth stage of werewolves. He is the only member here who has passed the wolf blood trial and entered the clan, and the only one among them who is married.

Younger werewolves are stronger and taller than older ones. This is because the Black Claw Clan has signed long-term agreements with several ranches, and they receive a large supply of cattle and sheep offal every week, allowing young werewolves who lack combat experience to obtain enough blood and energy to offer as sacrifices to the moon without having to hunt themselves. They have benefited from this service for a long time, and the supply has just stopped because they have reached adulthood.

A more familiar method of increasing power among the darkin is the binding ritual, but it is fraught with danger and is considered unnatural by monsters.

If you want to become stronger, it seems that following your nature is enough.

Anyway, the five werewolves came to Weiodi after a long absence by boat, thus avoiding the northern area and coming directly to the western area where factories are lined up. As soon as they stepped on the dock here, they couldn't help but retreat. Although the distance between Bodalabik and Weiodi is less than 40 miles, the "climate" is still different.

Leaving the woods and rivers, the industrial dust in the air is floating everywhere and is very pungent.

As soon as they got ashore, the thought of a quick victory immediately came to their mind.

However, no one knew whether Edwards was still in Weiodi. After discussion, they decided to investigate the place where Edwards was last seen to see where the lost ship had gone.

Few people travel long distances by carriage these days, and if Edwards wanted to leave Weaudy, trains and boats would be better options.

The wolves searched along the river, but after a day, they found nothing.

The ship was most likely no longer in the city, and there was a high probability that it had been dismantled into parts and dispersed to different mechanical parts markets. Several days had passed since the ship disappeared, and their extraordinary senses could not help them recover it by looking for any traces.

At the same time, the situation in the city became increasingly chaotic.

As they walked on the road, they heard gunshots from time to time, and some guys who were obviously extraordinary people were running around impatiently. In such situations, sometimes there was a smell of blood around, and sometimes not. They couldn't figure out what was going on, and didn't know whether these people would suddenly become hostile after knowing their identities.

They guessed what had happened and that the clan must have received the news, but because they came out early, they did not receive the news.

Although the weather in Viodi is favorable to shapeshifters, their transformation during the day is still full of obstacles and they cannot transform as quickly or for as long as at night.

Bullets are still very effective against their human bodies.

This was the first time the young werewolves had failed in this hunt, and everything around them was full of pressure. They stood on the dock, whispering about their next move among the piles of empty cargo boxes. Lydia suggested going to the clan's local members for help, but was opposed.

"This is the task assigned to us by the elders and clan fangs. Do we have to go home and call for our mother as soon as we leave the house?"

This sentence was said by one of Sorodan and Macon. It is not necessary to distinguish who it was, because they have a close relationship like conjoined twins and their ideas are basically the same.

Lydia's beauty and scent had no effect on the two of them because they were afraid that falling in love with the same woman would cause a rift in their relationship, so they chose to ignore and avoid her, to the point of exclusion.

Lucas followed Lydia in silence. He knew what his father had done to his uncle, and he came out this time to atone for his sins at the order of the clan leader. Lydia was also chosen by the elders and clan fangs to atone for her sins. It was her father Linde who introduced Edwards into the clan, causing the clan to be humiliated.

The two sides disagreed, but they did not argue, they just waited.

Because in this five-man team, Gerhardt, who is regarded as an outsider by the young werewolves who grew up in the clan, is the leader.

This was not designated by anyone, nor was it decided by a democratic vote, but was what the smell and blood told them naturally when they got together.

Gerhardt stared ahead as if in meditation, deep in thought, and just when the young wolves thought this would last a long time, he suddenly reached out and peeled off a damp newspaper from the pile of empty cargo boxes in front of him - it must have been blown up by the wind.

"Look at this."

It turned out that he was reading the newspaper just now.

The other werewolves gathered around and looked over.

"A howling black bloodthirsty monster appeared in the East End. Is its existence real or is it just a trick by the murderer?"

This news described an attack that occurred in the East District yesterday evening, where three people died. The witness claimed that he first heard gunshots outside, followed by a terrible roar. The security personnel resting nearby became alert and either slipped away or stayed indoors, refusing to check the details. Only he was brave enough to stick his head out to take a look, and the scene at that time immediately scared him.

"A black, bleeding monster was chasing a man with a gun. With just one leap, it covered ten yards, jumped behind the fleeing man, and twisted his head off with its terrifyingly long nails." The original text reads.

Gerhardt let go of his hand, and the newspaper flew away with the wind. "The monster can appear and disappear suddenly, which is consistent with the characteristics of a shapeshifter, and its color is black. There are not many such shapeshifters in Wei'aodi. The most famous shapeshifter with black fur is us, but the clan members have never acted so ostentatiously. Edwards has the same fur."

"Also. The window that Edwards and the traitor jumped out of was extremely high. Elder Maxim believed that it was definitely enough to kill the seriously injured Edwards. And since Edwards didn't die, he might have devoured Lavine's flesh and blood to heal himself while he was seriously injured. However, the curse of enrichment would make it easier for him to lose control, which might be the reason why he exposed himself in the East District."

Among these weird and supernatural news, only about 20% involve real supernatural events.

But without any other clues, the werewolves couldn't be picky.

Gerhardt looked around at the others and gave orders.

"We're going to the East Side, but before that, we have to go to the South Side first and leave two people at the train station. If Edwards hasn't left yet, don't let him get close to there."

The werewolves responded one after another, but Lydia seemed a little absent-minded.

Gerhardt didn't understand the reason for this phenomenon, he only knew that it would affect her condition, so he arranged for her and Macon to stay at the train station, and the other three returned to the East District to continue searching for Edwards after scent searching and communicating with stray dogs in the neighborhood.

On the East Side, more and more gunmen are patrolling outside of private streets, which greatly hinders their operations.

However, this also made them believe the authenticity of the news.

If such a big thing had not happened, the Sacred Heart Fraternity would never have deployed so many armed forces.

Passing through the East District, passing by the beautiful and elegant buildings designed by different designers, the Black Claw Clan's hunters arrived at the scene of the incident in the news - the door of a cafe.

However, the place is now deserted.

The glass doors and windows of the cafe were still broken, but the floor was swept clean without any debris or blood. They entered the room and found the same thing. Even with the werewolves' extraordinary five senses, they could not find anything here, not even the smell of human beings, but this was impossible.

Lucas's face was a little solemn. He looked away from the ground and looked at Gerhardt:

"This looks like the work of the Winged Serpents. They rarely leave their own traces, and others can't clean it up so cleanly." His father had fought with the Winged Serpents before, so he had this experience.

After hearing what he said, Gerhardt and Sorodan both became serious.

Many people thought that the Conleone family retreated back to Berdalabik because of the attack by the Sacred Heart Fraternity, but in fact, it was the mysterious society of Winged Serpents that threatened these werewolves.

The members of the Winged Serpents are elusive, skilled at changing their appearance and hiding their hostility, and they also have their own ways of avoiding divination and tracking scents.

They are the beings that werewolves hate the most, and no one knows whether they will encounter them during their most vulnerable period.

It is said that these people do not know how to assassinate, they are just studying the way to immortality, trying to become the ancient flying snake in the Dorne legend that shed its skin and grew wings after stealing the elixir of immortality. All their skills are only to prepare for their own shed skin and ascension. But the werewolves of the Black Claw clan do not believe this.

If they have the ability to assassinate others, they can choose to assassinate others.

"The Winged Serpents have cleared this place. What are they covering up?" Gerhardt frowned.

The five of them could deal with Edwards, but if Edwards colluded with the Winged Serpent, things would become difficult to deal with next.

Solodan sat down on a table in pain: "Maybe they sent Edwards away, then we will never be able to find him."

"No, he definitely didn't leave." Gerhardt said firmly: "If he wanted to leave, he should have left long ago. There is no need to spend time hiring someone to clean up the traces."

"In that news report, the people who died at the hands of the monster were definitely not Winged Serpent members. They would not act in groups, let alone do such a large-scale thing. They should be coming for the Winged Serpent members, and the shapeshifter happened to be next to him."

"Maybe we should go find Oranste," Lucas said.

The Orlanst family is the public spokesperson for the Winged Serpent.

"No, they are probably not from the Orlanst family. It is precisely because their identities are public that they do not need to hide anything," Gerhardt judged.

"Then our clues are broken again."

"No, there must be someone who knows the details." Gerhardt paused and said, "Let's go to the local police station."
