“Ouch!”
The howling of wolves echoed across the wilderness.
Countless scarlet animal eyes stared at the human figure in the sky, eager to attack, but unable to fly, they could only watch from the ground.
"These black wolves look no different from ordinary creatures that have been reproduced. I never thought that they are creatures that are condensed from energy out of thin air. The nest is really a magical existence."
Sherman looked at the dense pack of wolves below with interest.
Corey said expressionlessly: "If you are interested, you can catch a few and study them later. Now let's concentrate on finding the nest."
Sherman smiled and was not angry. He was already used to Corey's personality.
"Don't be so serious. The red-eyed crows have been released. As long as there is any harvest, we will know it immediately."
Not long ago, the Star Alliance issued a mission to find the nest of the 'Dusk Valley'.
Considering that there might still be Dusk Wolves in the Wolf Tide Plane, this quest is restricted to wizards only.
Sherman and Corey accepted this mission and came to the Wolf Tide plane.
In order to improve the search efficiency, the two specially found a group of red-eyed crows.
The Red-Eyed Crow's ultra-long vision range gives it a unique advantage in finding things, especially the modified Red-Eyed Crows of the Covenant, whose abilities far exceed those of their ordinary counterparts.
Wherever the two men arrived at a place, they released the red-eyed crow to search the area within a radius of one hundred miles. If there was no harvest, they would move on to the next area.
The method seems a bit stupid, but there is no other way.
Although the Wolf Tide Plane is smaller than the Starlight Continent, it is still an entire plane after all.
And the people living in this plane are basically alien beasts. They cannot communicate, let alone obtain intelligence.
The entire Wolf Tide plane is in a completely primitive state, with only forests and fields, lakes and mountains.
The only outside existence is the clay golem left by You Xi to mine the ore veins.
In this case, if you want to find the nest, you can only use the simplest and most primitive method, searching it bit by bit.
"There are still a large number of black wolves in the Wolf Tide Plane. If we send the Golem Army in, it will attract attacks from the wolves and a fight will break out. Otherwise, if we deploy the Golem Army, the search will be much easier."
Sherman sighed softly.
He originally wanted to follow the black wolves' tracks to find their lair, but later discovered that the black wolves were unusually scattered and could be seen everywhere, so he had to give up.
Fortunately, when the wolf tide plane invaded, the Star Alliance reacted quickly and dispatched a large army to stop it in time. Otherwise, if the wolves were allowed to gain a foothold and had ample time to expand the plane channel, the size of the wolf pack that the Star Alliance would have to face would probably have increased several times.
Corey looked at the black torrent below, was silent for a moment, and said: "The Star Eye Network and the Transmission Network were built for this purpose."
"Teacher is indeed foresighted." Xie Man said with admiration, and suddenly brought up another topic, "Speaking of which, Master Xingyun is collecting materials to rebuild his body. Atil should be able to recover his human form soon."
When mentioning Arthur, Corey's cold expression softened a little. After all, Arthur was one of his few good friends.
"Rebuilding the body is not difficult. The key lies in the materials. There are many rare materials that are difficult to collect."
"I think we can find all the materials in the Codex of Wisdom. Among all the wizarding forces, they have the most and most complete resources."
"Not necessarily. The Wisdom Code only opens up a portion of resources for trading to affiliated organizations. Many rare resources are only open to internal members and are exchanged for contribution points, just like our Star Alliance."
Xie Man looked at his friend in surprise and asked curiously, "How do you know this?"
Corey said calmly, "Tanner told me."
"You still have contact with him?"
Sherman was really surprised this time, because he didn't remember that Corey was a sociable person.
"I was interested in intelligence from other planes, so I used some resources to exchange a lot of information with him."
"I see."
Sherman suddenly realized that Corey had not changed and was still as pragmatic as ever.
He was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.
At the same time, Corey's eyes moved slightly.
The two looked at each other, and at the same time, they jumped up and flew towards the northwest at a high speed.
Just now, the two sensed that the life breath of a red-eyed crow had disappeared.
In the Wolf Tide Plane, there are not many beasts that have the ability to fly and can kill red-eyed crows, including the Dusk Wolf.
Unlike the ubiquitous black wolves, the number of dusk wolves is extremely small, and they rarely stray far from their dens.
As long as we find the Dusk Wolf, we can basically determine the approximate range of its lair.
Flying at full speed, the two soon arrived at the place where the red-eyed crow's life breath disappeared. Thousands of meters away, they saw a giant wolf whose body was completely black except for a pair of blood-red eyes and a pair of fangs.
"It's Bloodfang!" Sherman's expression lit up. "It looks like the Dusk Valley is nearby."
After searching for so many days, they finally got something. Even Corey's eyes flashed with joy.
“Ouch!”
After discovering Sherman and the other man, Bloodfang did not run away. Instead, he rushed towards them with a roar.
Seeing this, Xie Man was not surprised but happy.
Bloodfang's behavior undoubtedly confirmed his guess; the nest was indeed nearby.
As Dusk Wolves, Bloodfang and Grayclaw belong to the physical system. Their combat power is not as strong as that of Misty Howl and Nightshadow, who are of the natural system. Sherman and Corey are not afraid at all and greeted them calmly.
In less than five minutes, the two of them teamed up to defeat Bloodfang.
Immediately afterwards, they searched the surroundings and soon found the target.
The lair named Dusk Valley is not really a valley, but a cave located deep in the valley.
The dark entrance of the cave was like the mouth of a beast ready to devour someone.
Standing outside the cave, you can clearly feel the energy particles filling it.
Sheman and Corey waited patiently for a while, and sure enough, they saw a group of black wolves coming out of the cave.
The wolf cub was less than half a meter long and covered in mucus. After walking out of the cave, it expanded rapidly as if it were inflated. The mucus on its body also dried up quickly, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a giant wolf as big as a carriage.
The black wolves quickly noticed Sherman and Corey in the sky, and immediately bared their teeth and let out warning growls.
Sherman and Corey pretended not to hear and smiled faintly.
"It seems that this is the right place."
"Notify the Star Alliance."
Sherman took out a communication crystal and contacted the Magic Pattern Knight guarding the plane channel, who would then pass the message back to the Covenant.
Not long after the message was passed on, a figure suddenly flashed in the sky above the valley, and a figure appeared out of thin air.
Xie Man and the other man looked over, their expressions suddenly became serious, and they bowed quickly.
"teacher!"
Su Nan nodded slightly at the two of them, then looked towards the cave. He immediately sensed that the concentration of energy particles in the cave was far higher than the surrounding area.
“It’s a nest, for sure.”
He turned around to look at Sherman and Corey, smiled slightly and said, "Good job, go back and hand over the task."
"Yes, teacher."
The two men bowed and left without any hesitation.
Soon, Su Nan was the only one left in the valley. Without even looking at the black wolves around him, he used a flash spell to enter the cave.
The interior of the nest is quite spacious. What's strange is that the ground and the mountain walls are a tender pink color like internal organs, covered with blood vessel-like textures. Standing in the cave, it feels like entering the internal organs of a wild beast.
Sunan clearly felt that the nest was rejecting him.
This invisible pressure was enough to crush a third or fourth ring legendary knight into a pulp! As if sensing the danger, the lair began to summon the wolf pack. The black wolf outside roared and wanted to rush in. Sunan did not hesitate to open the absolute restricted area, offsetting the invisible pressure around him while blocking the wolf pack outside.
At the same time, the heavy pressure brought by the absolute forbidden area caused the entire nest to tremble slightly, and the ground and inner walls made a wriggling sound under the heavy burden.
Soon, the invisible pressure emitted by the nest dissipated, and the blood-colored textures on the ground and inner walls also dimmed. A faint wailing seemed to be heard in the void, as if the nest was begging for mercy from Su Nan.
"Have they developed instincts similar to those of wild animals? They know how to submit to the strong and seek benefits and avoid harm."
Su Nan raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the inner wall of the deepest part of the nest, where a deep red flesh ball as big as a human head was embedded, and the color was clearly distinguished from the surrounding inner walls.
Walking closer, Sunan put his hand on the ball of flesh and penetrated his mental power into it.
A biological nest of the level of Dusk Valley has basically no power to resist a third-level wizard. This is why it instinctively bowed its head and surrendered immediately after sensing Sunan's power.
In a short while, Sunan found the soul mark left by You Xi, and immediately mobilized his mental power to erase it, and then engraved his own soul mark.
The moment the soul imprint took shape, Sunan vaguely felt that there was an inexplicable connection between himself and the nest in front of him.
When he withdrew his hand, there was a black crystal in the shape of a wolf's tooth in his palm.
This is the prop for controlling the wolf pack.
As long as you hold the wolf fang crystal, you can control all the wolves hatched in the nest.
Moreover, this wolf fang crystal can also separate out sub-crystals with lower authority, which can be used to control part of the wolf pack.
Sunan clenched the wolf fang crystal slightly. Through the crystal in his hand, he could clearly sense the presence of all the black wolves.
As long as he thought about it, he could immediately summon all the black wolves here.
"This way, there will be nothing on the Wolf Tide Plane that can resist the Covenant's advance."
Except for the Black Wolf, the alien beast races pose no threat to the Star Alliance.
As long as the Black Wolf does not resist, the Covenant can easily take over the entire Wolf Tide Plane.
After putting away the wolf fang crystal, Sunan looked at the black flesh ball on the inner wall again.
After taking control of the Valley of Dusk, information about the entire nest also emerged in his mind.
With the current concentration of energy particles in the Wolf Tide Plane, the Dusk Valley can hatch forty-five black wolves every day, and one Dusk Wolf every year.
The upper limit is 434,800 Black Wolves and 285 Dusk Wolves.
This is the limit of Dusk Valley's ability to completely control the creatures in its nest.
If the number exceeds this, the black wolves and dusk wolves that continue to hatch will no longer be under the control of the Dusk Valley, but will instead immediately harm the nest.
But Sunan was already quite satisfied.
A wolf pack of more than 430,000 is almost equivalent to more than three large golem legions.
What’s more, there are more than two hundred Dusk Wolves with wizard-level combat power.
It is also a great supplement to the military strength of the Star Alliance.
Through the nest, Sunan also grasped the current number of wolves.
About 210,000 black wolves.
Because of the previous war, the number of Black Wolves had dropped sharply, and the Dusk Wolves were completely wiped out.
One that had just hatched not long ago also died at the hands of Sherman and Corey.
"It will take more than ten years for a black wolf to recover to its upper limit, but for a dusk wolf, one is found every year, so it will take at least two hundred years to reach the upper limit."
Leaving the nest, Sunan returned to the Starlight Continent.
When he arrived at the Starlight Wizard Tower, he found Lizé first and gave her the Wolf Fang Crystal.
"The Dusk Valley has been taken care of, and we can move on now."
Liz smiled faintly and said, "I've been ready for a long time."
"How are the preparations for mining the mineral vein going?"
"New clay golems and mining equipment are still being prepared, but we can transfer a batch of old ones over, which will be more than enough to meet the initial development needs."
Lizé obviously had a plan in mind and spoke slowly and fluently.
"The task of exploring the nodes of the Wolf Tide plane has also been issued. If it is assigned to wizard apprentices, it can be completed quickly. At that time, the project of opening up secondary magic stone veins can also be carried out simultaneously."
"In addition, the environment of the Wolf Tide Plane is very suitable for developing magic plantations. I plan to build 200 large magic plantations to increase the production of dragon blood fruit."
Sunan listened to Li Ze's report patiently and nodded with satisfaction.
It was indeed a wise choice to let Liz handle these matters.
"How is the collection of materials for rebuilding the body going?"
Liz shook her head and said, "The other materials are fine, they have basically been collected, but the only thing missing is the Soul Purifying Flower, which cannot be found on the transaction list of the Wisdom Code."
Sunan raised his eyebrows.
The Soul-Purifying Flower can purify the soul and minimize its repulsion to the body, thereby greatly increasing the success rate of reshaping the body. It can be said to be the most important ingredient in reshaping the body.
Although the Soul-Purifying Flower is precious, the Codex of Wisdom is certainly not unavailable, and it is most likely a resource that is only traded among internal members.
Sunan thought for a moment and said, "We can trade with Cyril and entrust him to buy the Soul Purifying Flower. As long as we pay enough, I believe he will be happy to trade with us."
"I have a better idea." Liz said, "There may not be Soul Purifying Flowers in other places, but there must be some in the City of All Things."
Wanwu City? Su Nan's expression changed.
The City of All Things is home to a large number of wizards, a mixed bag of good and bad, but at the same time, you can also find many precious resources that are not available elsewhere. It can be said to be the largest neutral trading platform in the entire multiverse.
If you go there, you can indeed find the Soul-Purifying Flower.
Without much hesitation, Sunan quickly agreed to Liz's proposal.
After all, if I ask Cyril for help, even if I have to pay a price, I will still owe him a favor. It is undoubtedly better to solve the problem myself. (End of this chapter)
