His gaze happened to fall on the pieces of meat.
The bright red color, as if it were about to bleed at any moment, showed just how fresh it was. The giant wolf glanced at it briefly, then fixed its gaze on the side of the minced meat closest to the soil.
Unlike the tender meat found elsewhere, this tiny corner seemed to reflect light.
The angle was too tricky; even with the giant wolf's excellent eyesight, it couldn't tell what kind of meat it was from such a small angle. So, it stretched out its front paw and scratched at it.
Suddenly, the side that was in contact with the ground was completely revealed.
The giant wolf could finally tell that these were snake scales!
The giant wolf, who had secretly suspected something upon smelling the blood, finally confirmed his suspicions at this moment.
—Here, before he arrived, a giant serpent was slain!
But what kind of giant snake is it?
The giant wolf raised its head, took a step, and walked towards the other pieces of meat.
Unfortunately, the next few pieces of meat were either whole, bright red, tender pieces of meat, or like the previous ones, they were just covered with a few scales and contained absolutely no useful information.
However, even so, the giant wolf did not give up. It carefully searched through almost every piece of scattered meat scraps, and finally found useful information in the few remaining scraps.
Unlike the previous brown scales, several now have silvery-white scales, and they can even be vaguely discerned to resemble stars.
yes······
Thump—
Knock knock—
With such a distinctive shape, it's hard not to guess it!
Without even thinking, the name of the giant serpent lingered on his tongue, but before he could utter it, his heart began to pound wildly with excitement.
At this moment, everything around him seemed to have drifted away. He could no longer hear the wind or smell the strong stench of blood; only the thunderous sound of his heartbeat filled his surroundings.
It took the giant wolf a long time to calm down and suppress its emotions. However, the next second, a new problem arose.
But who exactly had the ability to kill the Seven-Star Poisonous Python?
The giant wolf decided to look for any clues about this kind person.
Although the place was completely permeated with the stench of venomous pythons' blood, a look around revealed that a small-scale conflict must have occurred here.
He lowered his head, straining his nose, trying to find other scents amidst the strong smell of snakes. Occasionally, he would use his forelimbs to dig through the soil, uncovering what appeared to be traces left by a kind person.
Unfortunately, the giant wolf searched the entire vast area for any possible traces but found nothing.
After working hard for most of the day, the giant wolf still came up empty-handed. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Just as he was about to give up, a faint scent drifted into his nostrils.
By then, after a long search, he was quite far from the large pool of blood belonging to the Seven-Star Venomous Python. The strong, pungent smell of snakes that had filled his nostrils had faded slightly, allowing him to detect that difference.
The giant wolf sniffed left and right, then fixed its nose in a certain direction and began to walk forward while sniffing the scent.
As they moved further away from the center, the snake smell gradually faded, while a different odor became stronger.
But this did not make the giant wolf happy; instead, it frowned.
The smell was strangely familiar, as if he had smelled it long ago and it was etched into his memory!
But who exactly is it?
Perhaps because the memory was too distant, the giant wolf couldn't immediately recall who it was. So, in order to find the answer, it lowered its head and sniffed even more intently.
The familiar scent lured him forward until he was led to a broken tree, where the giant wolf was shocked to find a pool of blood.
Unlike the large pool of blood seen before, this small pool of blood was not as bright in color as before, but rather a dark reddish-black, seemingly hinting to the giant wolf that the person who spat out this pool of blood had a problem.
And it was this pool of problematic blood that exuded an aura that the giant wolf found strangely familiar!
Who is this?!
This feeling of knowing exactly who the other person is but being unable to figure them out is extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, the giant wolf felt as if his head was about to split open.
The giant wolf scratched the ground in frustration, and it was this unintentional action that led him to discover something by chance.
Between the crevices of his fiery red wolf claws, there was not only dark red soil, but also some white stuff.
To be honest, the white color wasn't very noticeable. Even if an ordinary person looked closely, they would probably mistake it for something unimportant and might even doubt their own eyes!
Fortunately, the giant wolf was no ordinary human. Wolves have a keen sense of smell and excellent vision, so it still managed to capture these details that people would easily overlook.
The giant wolf raised its paw to its eyes and examined it carefully. It turned out that the white thing was a short, white hair.
He brought it to his nose and sniffed it again. However, at close range, the smell of blood from the soil was so strong that it completely masked the scent of the white fur, making it impossible for him to identify what species the fur belonged to.
The giant wolf was not discouraged.
Isn't this yet another piece of corroborating evidence?
So he decided to search around the area again.
As the saying goes, fortune favors the diligent, or rather, Lady Luck was on the giant wolf's side. This time, he found many white hairs identical to the ones he had found before on the cross-section of the broken tree.
No, it's not white-haired!
The giant wave's eyes lit up instantly.
He then realized that the clusters of white hairs were not actually white, but rather silvery-white!
That familiar color, plus the familiar wolf scent lingering on the fur...
The identity of the other party is obvious!
Suddenly, the giant wolf opened its blood-red maw and muttered, "This guy still sheds so much!"
Before he finished speaking, the giant wolf's fiery red tail began to wag, showing just how happy he was!
However, the giant wolf was only happy for a short while before it immediately lowered its head and began sniffing again.
The smell of fur hadn't dissipated much, so the other party must have left not long ago. If he could quickly find the right direction, he might still be able to stop them!
The giant wolf's nose twitched even more violently. After a moment, it suddenly raised its head, its gaze fixed, as if it had seen a white figure rushing through the dense forest.
The next second, the giant wolf immediately began to run on all fours.
——
Xu Ling thought that Fei Er and the elf would be gone for three to five days, or even ten days, before they returned after their revenge mission.
The round trip would take at least two or three days, right? And with the search for the python, that would also take another two or three days!
But to everyone's surprise, the wolf and the elf returned on the very next day!
At that time, the sun was setting, and Xu Ling, who had already exceeded her points accumulation target, indulged herself in a rare moment of relaxation.
—Playing with his dog, no, Thanos.
