Mark couldn't give a reasonable explanation for Xiao Mu's abnormal behavior.

Monica's identification skills are useless to Xiao Mu. He can occasionally guess what Xiao Mu means based on his actions and voice.

But it was still a little lacking, just like he still didn't know whether the white light that Xiao Mu ate in the blood crystal mine was holy light.

I don’t know if Xiaomu’s diet has changed because of the holy water he feeds him, or if all slimes are like Xiaomu and can eat anything.

Before Mark could signal to Xiao Mu to behave himself, Monica suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and pointed her finger at a place outside the rock peak.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and saw three sturdy black wolves dragging a one-eyed old wolf with a broken paw through the stone forest. The wolf claws scraped against the rocks, creating sporadic sparks.

The mycelium carpets along the way were turned upside down by the old wolf's claws on the ground, and mixed with the blood flowing from the old wolf's neck, the old wolf looked particularly miserable.

They didn't stop until they dragged the old wolf to a huge cave with a diameter of more than three meters.

"It should be the one that Oak is holding hostage!" Monica lowered her voice, "The sword wound on its throat is still bleeding."

Although the mission information provided by Leila and the others was not very clear, it did mention that Oak had led the wolf pack away by holding a one-eyed, lame old wolf hostage.

Seeing the old wolf being taken to the Ghost Wolf King's lair by the giant wolf, Mark and Monica felt relieved.

This at least proves that there is a high probability that Oak was rescued by the three major adventure groups, otherwise Oak would not have killed the old wolf.

Although their guess was slightly different from the facts, the result was at least correct.

After seeing the three ghost wolves lingering in front of the cave for a while, they finally dragged the old wolf into the cave.

Beta also did not find any more ghost wolves near the stone forest.

He used a dagger to draw a pattern on the mycelium carpet. The members of the adventure team looked at the pattern on the ground and tacitly dispersed into a fan shape, preparing to enter the cave in batches.

But before Beta could do so, he took the lead and went around a huge rock and dived into the cave.

A huge black wolf, as tall as an adult at the shoulders, slowly walked out from the shadow where the three giants had appeared before.

When it appeared, ripples suddenly appeared on everyone's body surface made of Siqi's water coat, which scared Jimmy so much that he almost drew his sword and jumped out from behind the rock to take the initiative to attack the Phantom Wolf King.

"Don't move!" Beta's Adam's apple rolled in the moonlight, and he said in the lowest voice possible, "It's using magic to scan... Siqi's water coat can block it!"

Fortunately, they were all in a downwind position, and Beta's voice was low enough that it did not attract the attention of the Ghost Wolf King.

While no one was paying attention, Monica quickly and quietly drew a magic circle on the ground. When the members of the Beta Adventure Group were unaware, a faint halo enveloped everyone under the cover of the fluorescent mycelium light.

No, not everyone was unaware.

When Monica made a move, Archer Anna's ears under her cloak moved quietly, and she heard everyone's movements.

The Ghost Wolf King on the other side looked up in confusion at the direction where everyone was. In his scan, there seemed to be an extra huge rock in that direction than usual.

However, none of this matters right now, as there is still a group of invaders waiting for it to deal with.

The tip of the Ghost Wolf King's nose, which was covered with magic patterns, paused in the air for a moment, and finally he led several ghost wolves into the largest cave in the center.

But in just a moment, a purple-black light appeared in the cave.

The fluorescent mycelium on the rock wall outside the cave was completely dyed purple-black, and the sound of the old wolf's painful roar could be faintly heard from the cave.

"What are they doing? Saving the old wolf?"

Jimmy asked doubtfully.

"No, they must be performing some special ritual. Even healing by dark magic wouldn't be this painful."

Mark's fingertips gently stroked the slightly hot Forbidden Scripture. The last time the Forbidden Scripture took the initiative to respond was when he got the Holy Light Blood Crystal in the Blood Crystal Mine.

According to his speculation, the Forbidden Scripture Dream seemed to react only to something related to the Holy Light, but it did not react much to the Holy Light alone.

"Could it be that the secret of the magic fluctuations is hidden here?" Siqi guessed in a low voice.

As a few people were speculating in low voices, the direction where the wolf howls had been heard before suddenly rang out again with the cries of ghost wolves.

The sudden explosion of fire interrupted the whispers of several people, and the flames that shot up into the sky dyed half of the night sky of the Wolf Valley orange.

Beta suddenly grabbed Jimmy, who was trying to peek out, and said, "Three major groups have taken action! They must have encountered the Phantom Wolf King's tribe!"

As if to confirm his judgment, the deafening roar of the Ghost Wolf King came from the cave, sweeping across the valley with ripples of magic.

Hundreds of pairs of dark green pupils lit up in the caves of the stone forest, and nimble wolves leaped out of the caves and gathered towards the direction of the fire.

The dust raised by the wolves' charge covered the stone forest valley illuminated by the fluorescent mycelium with a layer of gray mist.

The tall Ghost Wolf King then slowly walked out of the cave, and after a few leaps, he caught up with the main group and disappeared in front of them.

When the last ghost wolf that emerged from the cave disappeared in the direction of the fire, the water coat that Siqi had condensed for everyone shattered into water element particles with a "pop" sound and dissipated right in front of everyone.

"The water coat has expired." The female mage took out her staff and looked at Beta. "Go into the cave now? Or should I patch up the water coat for you and you can wait?"

"Tsk, there were over two hundred Phantom Wolves that just rushed out, all of them were level three! The three major adventure groups are in trouble!"

Beta sighed, then stared at the flickering purple light deep in the cave and said, "We can't wait any longer. We weren't sure how many Phantom Wolves were still in those caves."

"Looking at the situation, the Phantom Wolf King should have already sent out all the Phantom Wolves. Now is the time for us to take action!"

Anyway, there should be at least three third-level ghost wolves in the nest at this time. Since we are going to enter the ghost wolf king's nest, there is no point in attaching the water coat.

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's act together!"

In the territory of the Phantom Wolf King, Beta did not dare to leave his team members outside to provide support.

If we act together, we can look after each other. If we are left alone, no one can deal with the siege of the third-level ghost wolves like the three major adventure groups.

They crouched down and quickly walked around several stone pillars. When everyone held their breath and stepped into the giant cave, the purple light from the fluorescent mycelium outside the cave wall suddenly became brighter.

There was no sound of the phantom wolves in the cave. The few people could only hear each other's heavy breathing, as if the three phantom wolves that had entered the cave before had also left with the Phantom Wolf King.

"I'll go in front, and you guys follow behind!"

Looking at the dark purple light emanating from the depths of the cave, Beta walked at the front of the team with two swords in hand.
