“Ah~”
“Ah~”
“Ah~”
“…”
A series of howling sounds were heard, and Marlowe's eagle-like eyes stared into the woods.
This is a wolf pack!
After waiting for a while, the howling gradually disappeared. Not to mention wolves, not even a small animal was seen.
Caroline could feel Zhang Feng looking back frequently, and she asked in some confusion.

Marlowe pointed to the jadeite on the ground.
"stop!"
Not to mention the strong smell of blood, which was madly stimulating Zhang Feng's sense of smell.
Zhang Feng didn't say anything more, but he was still worried. He kept looking back from time to time, wondering if he had missed anything.
When Zhang Feng heard both of them say this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Feng was not the kind of person who would hide things, he told Caroline his thoughts directly.
If it was a wild beast in the forest, or a human, Marlowe would have easily spotted it, after all, he was a knight who had experienced many battles.
"Human."
Feeling the heat coming from her neck, Caroline's ears turned red. She whispered, "No, it sounded like she left to the north."
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Suddenly, Malo called for a stop, interrupting Zhang Feng's thoughts.
"Are you sure it's a human body, not a trap or something?"
This was the Lord Mayor who helped Red Leaf City out of crisis, and changed and even saved the fate of many people! If anything happened to him, Marlowe himself would never forgive himself.
Although Caroline was once a princess, after her country was destroyed and her family was ruined, she gained a lot of experience in wild survival under the guidance of Knight Marlowe. Being able to locate objects by sound in the forest is a basic skill.
"Would you like to take a look, Lord City Lord?"
"Horse thief?"
It’s not that he was timid and scared by the wolves, but mainly because he needed to protect the city lord who was “powerless”, which increased the difficulty a lot.
"No...just look at it!"
None of the bodies of these horse thieves were intact. It was okay if they were missing some arms and legs, but the intestines and brains were all over the floor. The scene was too shocking.
Regardless of whether it was because the city lord was cowardly, Marlowe would feel relieved as long as he didn't stay in Blackrock Forest.
Zhang Feng originally wanted to stay away from corpses. After all, he was a modern man and was still very taboo about this matter. However, this was in another world, and he was also the lord of the city. Sooner or later, he would have to face corpses.
After walking a distance, the smell of blood faded a lot, and Zhang Feng felt better. He asked with some concern:
"What's wrong?"
Marlowe: "..."
"A corpse? The corpse of some animal?"
"Pick some that are easier to carry and take some back first."
"Phew~ That's good!"
Zhang Feng always felt that something was following him, but neither Caroline nor Marlo spoke, which made him wonder if it was just his illusion.
"It should be heading north."
"It should be a corpse. I smell blood!"
"Lord City Lord, it's a horse thief!"
Zhang Feng recalled a TV show he had watched before, in which someone pretended to be a corpse and robbed someone.
"Nothing, just..."
Marlowe asked tentatively.
After making sure there were no traps, Marlowe returned to Zhang Feng.
A group of people came to the bodies of the four horse thieves.
"How did these horse thieves die?"
He looked in the direction that Marlowe pointed, and about a hundred meters away, he saw several black figures lying on the ground.
“It seems not…”
Zhang didn't know how Ma Luo recognized these people as horse thieves.
Knight Marlowe also shook his head.
Zhang Feng nodded. Marlowe was the strongest among them, and he still had confidence in Marlowe.
Since the soldiers were all around Zhang Feng, Marlowe did not tell anyone about the gem in order to keep it secret. After all, one must be on guard against others.
"Do you feel like there's something following us?"
The moment he saw the corpse, Zhang Feng couldn't help but dry heave.

Caroline asked with concern.
Zhang Feng felt a little nervous.
Caroline was a little confused, but she took Zhang Feng's words very seriously and called Knight Marlowe.
Marlowe asked.
"Master Zhang Feng, are you okay?"
Ma Luo rode his horse to Zhang Feng and said with a serious face: "A body was found ahead!"
"Master Zhang Feng, what's wrong?"
Ma Luo rode his horse alone and walked to the corpse with a spear in his hand. Zhang Feng saw him poking the corpse with the spear, and there was no scene of the corpse suddenly jumping up and killing people, so he was relieved immediately.

"Okay, be careful."
Why can't I smell it? "Lord City Lord, I'll go check it out first, you can wait a while."
Although Zhang Feng now controls the fate of many people directly or indirectly, he has never exercised this right. Human corpse is still a relatively unfamiliar term to him.
Zhang Feng said with an expression of agreement:
Of the raw stones selected by Caroline, almost one out of ten can be sold, but for those selected by Zhang Feng, even dozens of them may not be sold.
Zhang Feng whispered in Caroline's ear: "Did you find anything?"
"It must have been besieged by a pack of wolves."
Why didn't they encounter a pack of wolves when they came? Was it the same howling pack of wolves just now? And wolves are wild beasts, why didn't they eat them all? The most important thing is, why did the horse thieves appear here! Zhang Feng felt as if a shadow was hanging over his head.
After Zhang Feng and others left, a pair of ice-blue pupils flashed in the bushes not far from the mine, and a few white hairs were blown by the wind.
Zhang Fenggang was still wondering who was running into the Blackrock Forest, but he didn't expect it to be a horse thief!
As for the task of selecting stones, it was left to Caroline. I have to say, sometimes metaphysics is still worth believing in.
“Ugh~”
…
When Caroline heard Zhang Feng's words, her eyes narrowed. She turned back cautiously and looked around carefully, but found nothing.
Zhang Feng asked.
This mine doesn't look big, but it's not small either. With just the number of people they have, it's impossible to transport all the raw stones back. Anyway, other people don't know the secret here, so it should be safe to leave the raw stones here for the time being.
Marlowe spoke up, agreeing with Caroline.
————————
"I smell blood, too."
In comparison, Zhang Feng heard nothing except the wolf howl.
After quickly packing the jadeite raw stone, Malo did not dare to stay for too long. He immediately commanded the team to protect Zhang Feng and leave. After all, there were not only wolves in the Black Stone Forest.
After hearing what Knight Marlowe said, Zhang Feng frowned and thought for a while. Marlowe thought that Zhang Feng disagreed, and he was about to persuade him again.
Zhang Feng was a little surprised.
Marlowe sniffed, and Caroline spoke up now.
Zhang Feng looked back with some confusion.
He had thought about this situation before coming, and the cloth bag he prepared in advance came in handy.
"What about these stones?"
Soon, everyone was carrying a cloth bag of stones, and even Zhang Feng was not left behind.
"Lord City Lord, there shouldn't be anything following us."
"Wolves?"
Looking at the two of them, Zhang Feng was a little confused, and he sniffed hard.
Zhang Feng frowned, his mind was thinking frantically.
Zhang Feng was shocked when he heard what Malo said.
"It's good that there's no one here. Maybe I'm just a little too nervous..."
"It's okay... Ugh~ Leave first!"
"Lord City Lord, shall we go back first?"
