After being scorched by the flames, a pungent, burnt smell filled the air around Red Wolf.
Fortunately, its sense of smell was keen, and it could still detect the bloody smell from the burnt smell.
The red wolf lay down on the ground and sniffed closely.
It meticulously examined every inch of soil, leaving no stone unturned.
It stopped shortly afterward, and the red wolf was certain that the bloody smell was coming from there.
Moreover, the smell of blood had a somewhat familiar feel to it. Red Wolf sniffed it again and, if he wasn't mistaken, it should be the scent of Moonlight Silver Wolf.
Besides the scent of Moonlight Silver Wolf, there's another familiar scent here.
Unfortunately, the smell has faded considerably over time, making it difficult to distinguish.
Besides that, there was one thing that puzzled Red Wolf.
Apart from this patch and another patch covered in vegetation where there was a slightly strong smell of blood, it couldn't smell anything else.
It was as if they had vanished into thin air.
This puzzled Red Wolf greatly. Judging from the concentration of blood, the Moonlight Silver Wolf's injuries must have been quite severe.
But why is there not even a trace of blood in other places? That's too strange!
However, even though Red Wolf found it strange, he could only keep his doubts to himself.
It sniffed around for a while longer, and after confirming that it couldn't smell any other scents, it chose to leave.
Not long after Red Wolf left, ripples appeared on the small pond that no one had noticed.
Gradually, the ripples expanded, clearly indicating that some creature was swimming in the pool.
Then, long, emerald-green hair floated up from the pool. If you didn't look closely, the hair would sway and drift like water plants.
Gradually, a creature poked its head out of the pool.
Having left the water, her long, emerald-green hair was almost hanging on her head.
Seemingly annoyed that the long hair was obstructing its vision, the unknown creature stretched out a pair of slender hands from the water and swept the hair to both sides.
Soon a pair of deep blue eyes appeared, calm and still, quietly watching the direction the red wolf had gone.
Once it was certain it couldn't hear the red wolf's movements, the creature peeked out its small nose and sniffed around.
As if it had smelled some alluring scent, the creature closed its eyes slightly, appearing in a state of blissful ecstasy.
After a short while, the smell seemed to disappear. Its small nose twitched a few times, and then it opened its eyes, a clear look of disappointment flashing across them.
Then, it slowly sank down.
Once it was no longer visible in the pool, everything returned to calm.
Xu Ling, who had already returned to the barren land, had no idea what was happening.
Although the trip was fruitless, and brought two wolves that added to her burden and consumed her system points, Xu Ling was still quite happy.
Occasional fresh air is good for physical and mental health.
The little fairy was quietly guarding the Tree of Life.
When Xu Ling and the others returned, the little fairy immediately noticed them and flew out.
"Master, you're back!"
Xu Ling was still a little dizzy, but the moment she heard the little fairy's voice, she immediately nodded.
"I'm back."
Ruth hadn't noticed before, but then she discovered there were two more wolves.
"Huh?"
She flew closer to observe with some curiosity.
At this moment, Kaopu was closer to her, so Ruth approached Kaopu first.
The wolf in Kaopu's hands was clearly a cub, covered in something and looking rather shabby.
Once he found a barren place, he simply tossed it aside.
Fortunately, the cub was mentally prepared, and the reliable person didn't exert too much force, so the cub landed easily.
It looked around, clearly very curious about the barren landscape.
Seeing this, Ruth flew to Xu Ling's side again.
Xu Ling had just put down the silver wolf's front legs that she was holding onto when, unexpectedly, with a "bang," the silver wolf crashed straight into the solid soil.
Xu Ling was stunned. She hadn't expected this at all. She hurriedly waved her hands and tried to explain.
"I didn't mean to."
She hadn't expected Silver Wolf to be so unguarded, letting her do whatever she wanted with his body.
It wasn't that Silver Wolf was unprepared; it was just that the sudden spatial shift caused his wounds to reopen.
In that instant, the pain was so intense that Silver Wolf used all his strength to resist the sudden pain and therefore did not notice Xu Ling letting go.
"It's alright, Miss." Even so, Silver Wolf weakly comforted Xu Ling, "It was my own carelessness."
Even if we don't say that we'll have to work under Xu Ling in the future, and even if we say that Xu Ling didn't do it on purpose, Silver Wolf doesn't need to blame her for such a small matter.
This made Xu Ling feel embarrassed. It was because she hadn't told Silver Wolf in advance that she was going to let go, so that Silver Wolf wouldn't have been mentally prepared, and that's why he fell hard onto the mud.
Moreover, the fall seemed to have reopened Silver Wolf's wound, and Xu Ling noticed that blood was flowing continuously from Silver Wolf's abdomen, just like before.
Feeling guilty, Xu Ling quickly cast several healing spells on the silver wolf.
"Are you feeling better?" Xu Ling asked worriedly.
Silver Wolf naturally felt the pain in his wound lessen and nodded slightly.
After that, it was visibly clear to the naked eye that the rate of blood flow from beneath the silver wolf gradually slowed down.
Seeing this, Xu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, she frowned again and murmured, "How did this wound even happen? Why is it still bleeding even after so many healing spells?"
It's not that Xu Ling is bragging, but healing techniques in the immortal realm are generally very effective against external injuries. For a minor immortal like her, one or two strikes would immediately heal the wounds completely. Unlike Silver Wolf, who was bleeding profusely even after several strikes.
Silver Wolf has excellent hearing, and since Xu Ling is very close to him now, he can hear everything clearly.
After a moment's thought, Silver Wolf recounted how he had been injured.
She didn't say anything before because it was unnecessary. She had already begged Xu Ling to agree to raise the cubs, so what was the point of telling her about her experience?
It only adds to the trouble.
Since he was injured, he could only maintain a temporary balance in his body with the essence of the moon, but he could not heal his injuries. He then realized that his death was inevitable, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
If it weren't for Xu Ling's unexpected move, even if the cub insisted that Xu Ling take him along, he wouldn't have agreed.
"It's the Seven-Star Poisonous Python."
Silver Wolf slowly gave the answer, and after thinking for a moment, he added the background information.
“We Silver Wolves mainly live in family groups. My sister, Thanos’s mother, my parents, and other elders live in the northern part of the Misty Forest. I wonder if you know that many races live in the depths of the Misty Forest?”
Xu Ling shook her head. She had only been in this world for a short time and didn't even know much about her own little territory, let alone the Misty Forest.
Silver Wolf paused. He had only asked casually, but he hadn't expected that Xu Ling really didn't know anything about it.
She was indeed a strange young lady.
He continued, "Since the appearance of the Misty Forest, many races have migrated to live in it. As the outer area is constantly explored by explorers, in order to ensure that our habitat is not disturbed, we migrated to the depths of the Misty Forest and lived there."
