In a state of fighting, the nerves of fierce beasts will be extremely excited.
Seraphina watched nervously as Auris bit the humanoid to death and then tore the jackal - dog - like humanoid, which was bigger than her, into pieces in an instant.
However, after seeing her, it immediately returned to its usual appearance. If one ignored the blood all over its body, it was still a gentle giant wolf that liked to act cute.
It wanted to come over and rub against her. Seraphina saw that it was covered in blood, so she casually picked a leaf to wipe it. Auris's fur was smooth. As she wiped it like this, she found that none of the blood was its own. It was very healthy.
"Huhu~" It nudged her waist and couldn't wait to let her climb onto its back, and then turned around and ran in the direction they had come from.
She vaguely guessed what they were doing. The blood on Auris's body, the lone and seriously injured jackal - dog - like humanoid, and its abnormal behavior. But seeing was believing. She was still shocked when she saw everything.
The giant wolf clan drove the jackal - dog - like humanoids on the outskirts of this forest away. They found the lair where the jackal - dog - like humanoids lived together and almost suppressed them with absolute strength.
She didn't know the reason. Perhaps it was a territorial dispute between rival competitors. To be more narcissistic, maybe Auris took revenge for her. And she hadn't expected that it could summon so many other giant wolves.
They piled up the dead jackal - dog - like humanoids together. The estimated number was nearly thirty. And the lone jackal - dog - like humanoid seen under the tree just now probably escaped alone but unfortunately was caught up by Auris and lost its life.
Thinking about it this way, the giant wolf clan might be a more vindictive race than she had imagined. They would not let go of any grudges and would hold grudges.
Auris and the others gathered around the corpses of the jackal - dog - like humanoids and tore them to shreds. She guessed that they were showing deterrence, warning those carnivorous beasts that coveted the territory of the wolf pack that this place was already their territory.
Seraphina felt a bit uneasy listening to their howls. She hid behind a tree at a moderate distance, watching Auris and its companions devouring the jackal - dog meat raw, with blood and fur scattered all over the ground.
This was the first time she had seen the giant wolf clan so united in doing something. The help during the river crossing and migration seemed more like a piece of cake. But once it came to the interests of the race, the solitary hunters would not hesitate to organize together.
Only then did she truly understand the nature of the giant wolf clan.
In contrast, humans seemed to have always misunderstood wolves. They were tenacious, fierce, united, and, most importantly, faithful to their mates.
She knew that the Sovo giant wolves probably also had some character traits of wild wolves. Judging from the trend of this world, they probably had evolved in the direction of becoming larger.
The jackal - dog - like humanoids and the carnivorous fish - men were different. They were evolving in a refined way, evolving towards a human form. Although they were still at the lower level of the food chain and could only become food in the mouths of the giant wolves for now, Seraphina could already foresee their future.
Perhaps the ancestors of future humans were fish.
She observed the nearby terrain. The jackal - dog - like humanoids seemed to prefer areas with low bushes. There were large areas of long, yellowish - brown leaves growing near their lairs, and many crushed leaves on the ground.
She curiously pulled at them and was surprised to find that these leaves had a texture like paper. They were flat, thin, and brittle. The yellow parts should be old leaves, and there were still some green ones growing in the center.
Seraphina named this plant "Paper Leaf". She thought that she could pick a large number of these old yellow leaves, dry them, and use them as a substitute for toilet paper.
While she was happily harvesting the paper leaves, "Huff huff" suddenly there was a panting sound behind her, and then something was thrown beside her feet. Seraphina was still holding the leaves in her arms. When she looked down like this, she was almost scared to death.
On the ground was a half - eaten jackal - dog - like humanoid. The bloody thing splashed onto the back of her feet. Seraphina screamed and ran backwards, hiding behind the bushes in the blink of an eye.
The one that threw the jackal - dog corpse over was a black giant wolf. Although she didn't know it, she guessed that it probably didn't mean any harm because after she screamed and ran away, the black wolf tilted its head and looked at her quite innocently.
"Aoow" It moved a little closer to her, as if curious why she didn't eat the prey. Seraphina watched the eyes that didn't close even in death getting closer and closer, and there were even some dripping unknown substances falling down. She quickly closed her eyes and felt that the most disgusting zombie movie she had ever seen was nothing compared to this.
However, the expected scene didn't happen. A little wolf ran out from somewhere and stood in front of the black wolf, looking up and howling. The black wolf stopped and thought for a moment, then dropped the prey on the ground, and the little wolf immediately began to eat heartily.
Seraphina was stunned. So it also thought of her as a cub and wanted her to eat that jackal - dog?
The little wolf that ran out didn't seem very big. It was a bit like the one she had met before. Its fur was mottled, and there was no blood on its body. It ate very quickly, as if it had been hungry for a long time.
The black wolf gave the prey to the little wolf. Now it had been staring at Seraphina all the time. She had already noticed their attitude problem long ago. The young wolf cubs probably regarded her as food, while the adult giant wolves were curious about her. They didn't attack her and would even help her.
Just like the black wolf in front of her, its gaze had been staying on Seraphina's legs and feet. It seemed to want to get closer but was afraid of something. So suddenly an idea came to her mind. The jackal - dog - like humanoids were in a humanoid form and ran on all fours. Perhaps walking upright was a very strange behavior for the wolf clan.
Then why didn't they attack her, who was more similar to the jackal - dog - like humanoids?
"Huhu" Auris walked over from a distance. There was a piece of torn meat in its mouth, which was exactly the kind that Seraphina liked best, with nine parts lean and one part fat. It had bitten off the outer fur. Judging from the size, it should have been reserved for her specially.
Seraphina looked at the piece of fresh red meat. "This is a half - human, half - dog monster... this is a half - human, half - dog monster..." Although she told herself this, when the corpse was processed so that the source of the meat couldn't be seen, she actually had the thought, "Anyway, it's meat. Just eat it."
And humans were such terrifying animals.
After Auris came over, the black wolf that was there before walked away. The little wolf beside it quickly finished eating the meat and, after thinking for a while, actually followed it, but was driven away by the black wolf biting its neck.
Seraphina hid behind Auris and carefully observed for a while. She found that among the wolves that came over one after another, probably more than half were smaller wolves. She guessed that most of them were female wolves and wolf cubs.
Judging from the behavior of the black wolf, they were very tolerant towards the cubs. They were not stingy with giving them food, but they wouldn't raise them for a long time either.
She wrapped up the piece of meat and diligently picked the paper leaves. Suddenly, a particularly high - pitched wolf howl came from her ear, and then all the wolves seemed to have been switched on and raised their heads and howled together.
Auris, beside her, stepped on the corpses of several jackal - dog - like humanoids, roaring majestically, as if declaring ownership of the territory.
Suddenly, in an instant, the wolf howls stopped abruptly. Seraphina was stunned for a moment, and then all the giant wolves seemed to turn their heads and look over. Their inquiring eyes fell on her, and low growls came from their throats.
"Ao!" Auris stood in front of her, making different huffing sounds as if talking, but those wolves didn't seem to listen to it and walked towards her step by step.
Seraphina thought that she should have howled with the wolf pack just now!
Several giant wolves came over and wanted to grab her, but Auris stopped them. However, their attitude was not friendly. After threatening each other with bared teeth for a few times, they rolled and fought together.
"Auris!" She watched as Auris was besieged by two wolves, one in front and one behind, and several small trees beside them were broken in an instant.
"Stop fighting!" Seraphina shouted loudly, attracting their attention again. A group of giant wolves with mixed fur colors gathered around her. Auris was suppressed and could only barely raise its head and let out a low growl.
They came close to her and sniffed her body. Seraphina didn't dare to move at all. The huge mouths full of blood and saliva opened wide, and she could see the sharp wolf teeth. She knew that they were not Auris. As long as anyone was careless, they would bite off her hands or feet.
After sniffing her for a while, the wolves suddenly parted to make a path. The old black wolf king that she had seen before slowly walked out. Seraphina didn't know how she recognized it. Probably it gave her the feeling of a majestic emperor, dangerous and powerful enough.
As soon as the old wolf king appeared, Auris became even more nervous. It kept struggling but couldn't break free from the giant wolves suppressing it.
Seraphina stared closely at the black wolf. Unlike the other wolves, it didn't come over to sniff her. It just kept a moderate distance, and its pair of lighter green eyes glanced at her, not knowing what it was thinking.
"Hulu" Just when Seraphina's heart was beating faster, it suddenly fiddled with the meat package that she had dropped on the ground just now. She looked down and saw that it was hooking the knot on the package with the tip of its claw. To make it easier to untie, she had tied a bow knot.
She didn't dare to speak and just watched the wolf king fiddle with it. After a while, it probably lost its patience and actually looked up at her, as if to say: Untie it for me.
Seraphina's heart trembled. Trembling, she squatted down. Its huge wolf head was right above her head. She didn't know when her psychological quality had become so good. After untying the fancy bow knot, as if afraid that it didn't understand, she tied it back nicely.
"Huff" Obviously, her dexterous hands shocked it. The old wolf king fiddled with it with its own claws for a while but couldn't untie the beautiful bow knot either. Finally, it looked up and stared at her carefully. The eyes of the human and the wolf, with different colors, looked at each other. Seraphina seemed to be able to see the scars crisscrossing its face.
"Hulu" Then, before she could react, it suddenly came over and licked her, just like Auris did every time. Its tongue with barbs slid warmly across her cheek. Seraphina froze on the spot.
However, the wolf king didn't seem to care about her reaction. After licking her, it turned around and left. A big and a small black wolf followed behind it. Wherever they went, all the adult wolves made way for them, just like the treatment when an emperor went on an inspection.
Auris was also released. It came over anxiously and nudged her. This time, it wasn't to protect her but because after being licked by the wolf king, the other giant wolves also came over to get close to her. In no time, Seraphina was almost drowned in saliva.
"Huhu" Auris blocked those enthusiastic "wolf fans" with its body and rubbed against her neck. She guessed that it probably said: I'm sorry to have scared you.
Seraphina also touched it. Finally, she let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Gaining the recognition of the wolf pack was probably the first step for her to come into this world.
