Hulim had often heard her father mention this name since she was old enough to understand. Whenever he boasted about his past achievements, he would always bring up this topic.
So the question is, Father Lezelian has always regarded being able to defeat the giant forest wolf as his proudest experience. Is it because he has defeated too few monsters?
No, quite the opposite.
Lezelian has conquered countless C-rank monsters. Whether he was serving in the Knights Templar or later shouldering the responsibility of maintaining public order, the thing Lezelian had the most was the mission of conquering monsters.
So is it because the giant forest wolves are very dangerous and the bounty is very high?
Not at all.
There are so few missions to subdue the Forest Giant Wolf that they are almost non-existent. The reason is that it is a native creature of Himlir, not a monster!
Unless they pose a serious threat to people's survival, people will not take the initiative to expel them.
The reason why Lezelian attached so much importance to that sudden experience was because the forest giant wolf was very strong, and it could even be said to be the ceiling of C-level creatures. Other C-level creatures, whether they were native creatures of Himlir, invading monsters, or creatures that were corroded and mutated into monsters by the miasma of the demons, could not find any existence that was stronger than them, and at most they could only get close to them.
Such a special and powerful creature has an extremely long history of existence. Even in the oldest ruins excavated by humans, records of it can still be found.
According to ancient documents, all giant forest wolves came from the same northern forest. They were not called this name before, but the name was lost in the long river of history. Later people only called them giant wolves from the forest based on their memory, and finally their name became giant forest wolves.
Unlike common wolves, forest giant wolves are loners. Once they leave the forest where they were born, they will never interact with their own kind again. And for some reason, they like to wander around the world. Therefore, they are also called traveling wolves, and are deeply worshipped and praised by some wandering poets and traveling merchant groups.
In addition, the forest giant wolf is extremely intelligent and is rumored to be able to understand human speech.
Their personalities are also very diverse. Some are curious, some are indifferent, some are friendly, and some are hostile to humans. It is almost to the point that the personality of each individual is completely different, which is not seen in normal Himlier animals...
Although the giant forest wolf appeared in front of Hulim for only a very short time, Hulim could tell from the other party's arrogant and cold eyes that the other party was obviously not a friendly person.
Just as Hulim expected, the giant forest wolf only needed to glance over the goblin tribe and understood the whole story. It then locked its sights on the only human at the scene, with a hint of indifference in its arrogant eyes.
It didn't even take action itself, but opened its mouth and let out a howl.
“Woo——!”
After receiving its order, hundreds of wolves rushed towards the goblin tribe.
The giant forest wolf itself stood quietly in place, surrounded by wolves, like a proud king, watching his loyal subordinates from behind, fighting for him on the battlefield.
Unlike goblins, wolves don't have so many thoughts and they will indeed faithfully carry out the king's orders.
Then the goblins who fell to the ground suffered a disaster. One by one, they were killed by the wolves. Some of them struggled to crawl towards the house, but were quickly caught up and followed suit.
Judging from the size of the wolf pack led by the giant forest wolf in front of them, they definitely did not run over here by chance after smelling the blood. Such a large wolf pack must have a very large area of influence, and the smell of blood could not have drifted so far.
It is very likely that their initial target was this goblin tribe.
It's just a coincidence that Hulim has gotten there first.
Of course, it is impossible to expect the wolves to thank Hulim, but if they are willing to be their dinner, perhaps they can consider it.
"roar!"
"roar!"
Several wolves pounced on Hulim.
These ordinary wolf tribe members obviously did not have the same level of intelligence as the giant forest wolves. They only judged the threat level based on the size and weapon differences. Hulim, who was just a human child and only had a wooden stick-like staff in his hand, was directly regarded as no threat.
“【?????????????????????????????????】”
"Fire barrier!"
The sudden rise of the fire barrier caused the wolves to crash into it before they had time to react.
Then one by one, they were covered in flames and rolled on the ground howling miserably. However, for the wolves with a lot of hair all over their bodies, the flames were simply their nemesis. They rolled around several times, but the flames did not diminish at all. Instead, their own movements gradually weakened.
The changes that happened here naturally fell into the eyes of other wolves.
The wolves, who had originally thought this was an easy hunt, immediately became nervous, and their assessment of Hulim's threat level skyrocketed.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Perhaps the forest giant wolf was somewhat dissatisfied with the stupidity of its subordinates, or perhaps it had judged something from Hulim's previous move.
It began to command the wolf pack.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah…”
Dozens of wolves rushed towards Hulim from all directions.
“【????????????????????????????????????????????????】”
