Wolves were just wolves, even in staggering numbers, indistinguishable from a pack of chocolates in front of an angry Jenkins.
The speed of his search was not fast, so the corpses of his companions could only be barely identified. Standing for a while on the edge of the clearing with his hands behind his back, he took some items from everyone as evidence, and then buried those stumps in the snowy forest on the spot.
"Maybe they shouldn't be traveling with me."
He felt a little sad, but he also knew that such boring emotions would only affect his thinking. In my heart, I decided to give some compensation to the families of the three companions after the trip, and suddenly realized that the wolves that suddenly appeared here were a bit unusual.
He doesn't have the ability to track humans, so he can only look for possible clues nearby. But the current weather is obviously not suitable for looking for those subtle clues. Just when Jenkins was about to give up, he actually found a long hair under his footprints.
This is obviously a woman's long hair, judging from the color and length, it should belong to Miss Lawrence.
"Why are you here?"
Jenkins' current position was off the trail, not the same as the path they had taken to see the snow. But now it is more important to find his friends, so he can only try to get chocolate to help again.
This time Chocolate saw Jenkins' anxiety and was obedient. The kitten's head popped out from the middle of the coat, and its pink nose sniffed a few times.
It's clearly a cat and not a dog, but as a creature of extraordinary strength, the cat's sense of smell is far better than Jenkins imagined. It guided Jenkins all the way to the deeper part of the snow forest, and he found his goal in just half an hour.
In fact, Jenkins had no idea what lay ahead because of the snow blocking his view, so he almost jumped off the edge of the cliff. And Miss Lawrence was lying in the snowdrift on the edge of the cliff. The snow had almost buried her, and the color of the coat was light. If there was no chocolate to guide the way, Jenkins would not be able to find that there was another person in the snow. .
"Miss Lawrence? I actually found it, chocolate, what did you smell?"
He tried to call out while helping the girl up. She was still breathing weakly, and Jenkins didn't smell blood. If he hadn't been knocked out, then he was frozen here.
The ends of her long hair were frozen, and even her beautiful eyelashes were covered in frost, and she looked frostbitten. If this continues, she may freeze to death due to hypothermia if she cannot return to the villa. Jenkins can only do things that may reveal his identity:
"Feel sorry."
He whispered, and took Miss Lawrence's hand with his own. The flames and green smoke flowed quickly along the hands of the two of them. The fiery temperature even melted most of the snow on the ground around the two of them. The sudden increase in temperature made both the cat and the man uncomfortable.
"Mr. Williams?"
Miss Lawrence woke up sooner than Jenkins expected, and she immediately discovered the unusual thing that happened between the two. But the first reaction is not surprise, but a reminder:
"Be careful, there's a monster around here!"
It was not like the plot in the cliché knight novels, where the monster attacked the two the moment the woman spoke the reminder. On the contrary, besides the howling wind and snow, there is no living thing around, and the dazzling red and green lights are the most shining things in this white world.
"What monster?"
He helped Miss Lawrence to sit up, and the woman's body, although still tired, had recovered.
"I didn't see it clearly... We were just looking at the snow nearby, but we got separated from everyone for some reason. When I came back to my senses, I saw a big ice-blue spider trying to attack me, and ran away in a panic. After arriving here, I accidentally fell and passed out."
This is the truth, and the basis of judgment is not the newly swollen forehead, but the priesthood of lies.
"A giant ice-blue spider?"
"Meow~"
The pocket watch chain and the chocolate issued a reminder at the same time, and subconsciously lowered his head, only to hear the sound of breaking through the air above his head. When I went to observe again, I saw that it was a bunch of white spider silk.
The attack came from the bottom of the cliff, and the spider was obviously lying in ambush below. And when Jenkins wanted to pick up Miss Lawrence and plan to leave this dangerous terrain first, he discovered that a huge spider appeared far away from the cliff.
This is obviously a supernatural creature, because Jenkins does not think that normal creatures can grow to a height of two meters. Its body length is longer than Jenkins imagined, and there is an ice-blue breastplate on the back of the head and chest, with patterns like snowflake runes on the armor. There are 8 single eyes on the front of the chest, arranged in 2 rows, and the eyes on the left and right sides are different colors.
The outside body is covered by a white exoskeleton, but if you look closely, you can see extremely fine and dense white fluff. The 6 pairs of appendages showed a terrifying appearance. The enlarged chelicerae at the base and the sharp fangs at the end trembled in the wind and snow, as if they were about to launch an attack at any time.
"Mr. Williams..."
Miss Lawrence tightly grasped Jenkins' sleeve, her body trembling violently. It's understandable, young girls are sometimes afraid of those creepy-looking insects, not to mention the huge things in front of them.
"I hope you don't tell others what you saw. After we return to Nolan, please go to the church to sign a non-disclosure agreement. After all, some things cannot be known to ordinary people."
"I know! Mr. Williams, think of a way, it's coming!"
"Feel sorry."
Jenkins whispered in her ear, and then mercilessly knocked the woman unconscious.
"Meow~"
Jenkins heard the sarcasm in the meow, but he didn't think his cats were capable of such complex emotions.
He quickly ran to the edge of the cliff with Miss Lawrence in his arms, and then jumped down the cliff with all his strength. The spider silk attacked them from the cliff again, but the flames that appeared out of thin air burned all those beautiful silk threads.
With this skill, Jenkins saw the spider hole under the cliff, and also saw a second spider that was smaller than the one on the cliff.
"Oh~"
The flying unicorn caught them from below. Although sitting on a mount in the air is a kind of acrobatic thing, Jenkins and the unicorn reached this point very tacitly.
He commanded his mount to brave the strong wind to the sky far away from the cliff, and looked at the white cliff below in the snowstorm.
