Chapter 3: The Hunt
Through the crowd
In the area surrounded by the militia, there was a battered corpse. Shreds of flesh hung on its blood-red skeleton. Bits of clothing and bloodstains were scattered around.
At first glance of this body, Kane felt both physically and mentally uncomfortable. Although he had seen many corpses since coming to this world, this was the first time he’d seen one so miserably that it made him uneasy.
"As you can see, this body was preyed upon by wolves. The unfortunate victim was a young girl named Leia from the town, who had gone to gather herbs. We asked her neighbors; she did not return last night."
Uncle Ge Mu, covering his nose, explained the situation to Kane.
After listening, Kane roughly knew why he was called here and confirmed it with Ge Mu.
"So, the wolves that attacked this young girl are likely the same ones that attacked Aunt Leia last month, right?"
Last month, in the Broken Barrel Tavern, Kane overheard people discussing this. Curious, he had once asked the militia members who enjoyed drinking to confirm it.
He learned a rough account of the events.
"Yes."
"After our preliminary investigation, we confirmed it was the same pack of wolves. This is already the second time. Among them, there is probably a Magic Beast with intelligence leading this pack, which will cause unacceptable harm to the people around."
Ge Mu thought for a moment and said gravely, "Not to mention that they have already tasted the sweetness of human flesh."
