Chapter 1031: Going back
Once we were away from the Great Wolves and caught our breath, Alidus looked at me and asked, "Where's the child?"
After all, the whole reason that we had come all this way was to rescue the giant child that had been trapped by the Great Wolves. Right now, Joan didn't have that child in her claws, so Alidus was worried about where the child was.
"The hunters came and we left the child to them before coming back. They wanted to come and help, but I told them to stay since they didn't know what the situation was and they wouldn't have been able to do anything." Then with a sigh, I said, "It was a good thing that your uncle was leading them or else they wouldn't have listened."
A faint smile appeared on Alidus' face when he heard this as he could imagine what had happened.
But since the child was safe, then that meant that they had accomplished everything that they had set out to accomplish.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At the same time, they hadn't taken a single casualty even though they had been surrounded by the Great Wolves.
Alidus knew that it wasn't because of him or any of the other giants that this was the case, it was all because of the one that was riding atop the wyvern right now. It was the human that he looked down on the entire time.
After a long silence, Alidus said, "There really are all kinds of humans out there."
I just gave a simple nod before turning around and saying, "Let's go back now."
Alidus gave a nod, but then he was confused when he saw the direction that I was heading in. "Where are you going?" Alidus couldn't help asking.
I looked back at him and said, "Who said that we're going back to the village already? There's a good chance waiting for us now that all of the Great Wolves are away from their nest. This is the perfect chance for us to get some revenge on them."
Alidus was even more confused when he heard this, but that didn't stop him from following
me.
Though after moving a bit, I suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Alidus to say, "Do you know the way to the nest of the Great Wolves?"
There was a bitter smile that appeared on his lips, but he eventually nodded in agreement and went forward to lead the way.
Though he had no idea what was happening, he still went along with it because he wanted to see just what I had planned.
With Alidus leading the way, we soon arrived at the area where the Great Wolves lived. This was a place that wasn't far from where we had been attacked.
It seemed that the Great Wolves had laid the ambush not far away from their home, but it still took them far enough that they weren't here at the nest. We could even see the smoke that was still in the distance.
Once we arrived, Alidus immediately asked, "What are you planning on doing here?"
I didn't answer the question as I looked around the area where the nest was.
It was a forest hollow that was well shaded and surrounded on both sides, which made it a very secure location.
At the center, there were still a few wolves that were walking around, but these wolves seemed smaller than the other wolves that we fought against previously. At the same time, it seemed that there were also children that were wandering around.
These were most likely the mothers and children of this Great Wolf pack.
Alidus was just as confused as he stood there watching over the pack with me, but he didn't say anything as he waited to see what I would do.
While watching them, I noticed that one of the mothers suddenly picked up their child and was moving away from the hollow.
The moment that I saw this, that was when I made my move.
I followed that mother wolf away from the hollow, but I also made sure to be far enough that the mother wolf wouldn't notice me.
After following that mother wolf for a bit, we arrived at a hole that was away from the hollow.
It seemed like this was where they dumped their trash and everything with how many bones were scattered here.
Standing over the hole, the mother wolf didn't hesitate at all to drop the wolf cub into the hole.
The wolf cub cried out in shock and fear when it was dropped like this, but the mother wolf just completely ignored the wolf cub as it fell into the hole. The mother didn't turn back even once after dropping the wolf cub in, as if she didn't care about the wolf cub at all.
The cries of the wolf cub slowly faded, as if it was getting weaker and weaker.
I didn't do anything at first as I just watched all of this happen.
But once the wolf mother was gone and the wolf cub's cries became weaker, I went over to the hole and looked down at the wolf cub that was there.
Now that I came closer to the hole, I could see what was inside more clearly.
It wasn't just this single wolf cub that had been dropped in this hole, there were other wolf cubs that were lying there. But other than this wolf cub that had just been dropped into the hole, the others didn't seem to be moving at all.
"I'm heading down." I suddenly said to Alidus.
Alidus knitted his brows again, but he didn't stop me as he watched to see what I would do.
I flew down into the hole with Joan and then jumped off to look at the unmoving wolf cubs. The one that had been dropped into the hole looked at me with narrowed eyes and wanted to snarl at me, but it suddenly stopped when it felt Joan's breath fall down on it.
I looked at them for a bit before reaching out towards the wolf cub.
