Century Dream War of Faith Chapter 3 The Alpha Wolf
What God's will is, the edict has not yet been made clear.
I hope and find the answer along the way.
The journey is half over and the awareness is not yet full.
The wind sings and the snow dances, howling across the tundra.
They hunted fish and fruits, and used pottery to farm and feed them.
The nature is light but not cold, lonely and bitter.
Happy words and poems, the cooking disperses the clouds and haze.
Blessings and prayers, Wansi Huier.
Shichiweishao is astounding and stunning.
In the frozen soil, the seedlings stand in the pots.
The first is to think that although the Lord’s name and teachings are not spread to non-believers, there should be genuine thoughts in the routine prayers day after day.
The second is strength. Although I am still confused and don't know where to find the monument, I have extinguished the fire of war through the journey of thousands of needles. I have sealed the incarnation of the evil god and interrupted the summoning ceremony. Therefore, I have witnessed the great righteous gods.
The literal meaning of the obscure oracle of the Second Coming is further explained sentence by sentence.
The first to third sentences of the poem are about not being able to tell you clearly. He probably hopes that Zate will find the answer on his own during this journey. The previous journey ended halfway, which made the Wolfman know his shortcomings as a priest.
place.
The fourth sentence also contains the songs and dances that the God of Joy is good at, which are areas outside the core clergy. The second half is a hint that Zate obtains the beast realm and even the clergy.
The fifth sentence directly states that the plant growth that Zate is good at corresponds to the priesthood of abundance, and it is also an optional direction.
The sixth sentence is to comfort Zate, not because he has a cold personality, but because he has been alone for too long.
The meaning of the seventh sentence is that the simple poem is said cheerfully, and the smoke from the kitchen is swept into the morning breeze.
The eighth sentence of prayers and blessings, thousands of people gathered in the ears, also implies that it takes ten thousand devout believers to ascend to the gods.
Game 9: The world is like a pond, and society is like fish. There are always amazing fish out of the water that are worth paying attention to, which is a way to show support for her.
In this heart that is still as frozen as frozen soil, there is still a potted plant with a seedling growing there, which means that it once again emphasizes that there is a foundation for faith here.
Take a look at what you are best at now. It is the bard's ability to play music rather than the priest's magical skills. It is not relevant.
To God, Zate has value, but she thought she didn't have it before. So what is her value? It's what she can do.
It was said that the bard could also tell stories or go to the tavern to play the lute and sing, but Zat had never done anything.
Zate looked at the small village in front of him and then at the "partners" following him. Perhaps it was better not to have contact with the human community for the time being.
Now I am on a path that is different from ordinary people, and for this I need to do something special.
Then in an instant, the girl turned into the form of a wolf again and walked into the cedar forest with several groups of wolves around her.
Stepping into this mixed coniferous forest dominated by cedar, Zate found many traces of human activities. There were picked plum bushes, tree stumps with fresh ax marks on their sections, and discarded wild animal entrails.
, and snow that has been trampled into dirty ice.
[Hmm, signs of human activity...] She used her extremely sensitive sense of smell to distinguish the scent of beasts from the scent of humans, and then tried her best to move towards a place with more beast scents.
Zate led several unrelated wolves behind him towards the depths of the forest, while the original alpha wolf retreated and became the second wolf, following Zate's butt.
Not long after, a very strong moose appeared in front of the wolves and acted very agitated. The last wolves spontaneously rushed towards Zate's position, while the second wolf took half a step back as if it was very afraid of this beast.
Zate seemed to have initially become accustomed to the beast's habits. Facing the prey, he growled and glanced at Wolf B and the other wolves, as if to ask them to attack together.
She planned to seize the opportunity to bite the deer's neck with her fangs while other wolves were restraining the deer, killing it with one blow.
Since he wants to become a beast, or even an existence above that, he must first understand the basics. For this reason, Zate will not use other abilities in this battle, and will only hunt as a beast.
She rushed forward first, trying to attract an attack.
Sure enough, this ferocious creature that would take the initiative to attack even a bear was afraid of took a few steps back, and then rushed straight towards Zate.
The moose ran straight towards Zate and raised its hoof, but she easily dodged the hoof strike by relying on the experience she had learned from fighting along the way.
Wolf B rushed over after him, and the other wolves were not to be outdone and surrounded the herbivorous beast.
Perhaps because he was unfamiliar with the rarely used wolf form, Zate's counterattack bit a few snowflakes. Then the wolves launched a ferocious attack. The two last wolves and the second wolf bit the moose, leaving deep marks on the snow.
There were bloodstains, and one of the wolves even bit the moose's hind legs and pulled it down.
But the moose struggled and kicked wolf B, which hurt it the most. This caused huge damage to wolf B. The injury was serious and its fur was stained red with blood.
Taking this opportunity, Zate bit again. Although he still missed and failed to deliver a fatal blow to the moose, the wolves swarmed up and caused continuous wounds.
Finally, the noses of the second wolf and the last wolf puffed out white steam, and the blood flowing out of the moose began to freeze.
Zate licked his claws that seemed to be harmless, looked at the seriously injured Yilang, and then circled around the body. After seeing nothing unusual, Zate let out a low growl, and immediately went to eat the corpse alive.
The uncooled carcass has some nutritious parts, and the rest is divided between wolf B and the wolves.
[This is part of life as a beast.] Zate thought in her mind, even though eating raw meat was a bit uncomfortable for her, she still swallowed part of her own spoils.
Because I chose the most palatable piece of meat for carnivores, even though it was a bit uncomfortable, it was not difficult to swallow under the taste sense of the wolf form.
As for the battle just now, Zate reflected on it. Maybe he should use a little more ability in the battle, but he should not make the wolves rely too much on himself. At the same time, he had to find a way to establish his own position.
Zate returned to human form at this time. She approached Yilang and healed Yilang's wounds with her gentle singing voice. Soon, Yilang's injuries gradually improved with the melody.
The wolves could not understand the power of the spell, but they were greatly shocked. In nature, injuries often mean death. Generally speaking, Wolf B's injuries require a certain amount of luck, enough food, and a long time to heal, but at this moment
It's mostly healed already.
For the second time, Zate established real prestige among this small wolf pack with his power that was not that of a wild beast.
After the battle, Zate led this relatively small group and tried to find an open space to rest first. Firstly, he replenished his physical strength, and secondly, he made up for the previous time. As a wolf, he wanted to observe the wolves carefully.
Life habits.
In the past, I often lamented Sophia's spirit of constantly seeking knowledge by writing notes in her free time. Zate really should have studied hard at that time. But now my knowledge about beasts can only be said to be very poor.
Starting from scratch is a bit overwhelming.
From a biological point of view, these white-haired gray wolves have a well-proportioned body shape and slender limbs. They are toe-walking, which is conducive to fast running. The head and palate are pointed and the nose is protruding. The canine teeth are relatively developed, and the molars have obvious tooth tips.
and the heel tip, and the crown diameter is greater than the height of the outer incisors. The hair is thick and long, suitable for activities in the cold zone and sub-cold zone.
[Not just wolves, but most of the beast groups are clinging to each other and constantly adapting to each other's environment. Humans have chosen wisdom, made flames, and built various items and buildings. Beasts have changed themselves so that they and their species can do this.
Survival.] Zate was observing the wolf and thinking this way, and came to this conclusion which is probably not a conclusion. [So do I have to change because of this... Maybe I am transforming on this road.]
As for the behavior, the wolves just rested in the open space without clear instructions from the alpha wolf, but obviously they don’t need sleep much now. Some of them lay down on the ground and looked around from time to time to be wary of the surroundings, with their lips and ears pulled apart to both sides.
Wriggling, occasionally actively licking the tongue, and the tail is in a retracted state.
The communication methods of animals are not only sounds, but also movements and even smells. Zat only knows the breaths that are similar to the ones emitted during courtship, which was mentioned in a novel. As for movements, Zat really doesn’t understand
There are many, and you may need to get along with them for a while to understand their meaning.
In wolf form, Zat's limbs were lying on the ground like a wolf. She did not move rashly. After all, it was a bit inappropriate for her current status to learn the movements of her subordinates. Although she was the alpha wolf, it was still difficult to understand the wolf's body language, so she could only
He said he was getting used to it slowly.
Wolves sometimes howl to determine each other's territory. It takes a long time to learn this. If it's just one or two, it's okay. If it's a group, even a smart person may need to
Years or even decades. But the world doesn’t have that much time, probably.
And no one is willing to risk their lives to study a problem that can be solved with just an animal conversation spell - except for some druids and rangers.
Looking at the flying snowflakes, she then used her keen sense of smell again, trying to distinguish whether there was any strange smell around her, but the biting wind made her sneeze. As a result, the other wolves also sneezed... Zate didn't
Understand what is going on.
I remember Sophia said that the essence of animal communication should be to allow animals and the caster to understand each other. In other words, you might be able to quickly learn various behavioral characteristics of wolves through this. Although the idea is good, I can only give it a try.
If it doesn't work, I will temporarily act in human form from now on.
The next actions were to spend at most one transformation spell to defend against the enemy, and expanding the community was also the first priority. Just these alone gave Zate a headache.
Shaking her head, it would be okay if it was normal, but this is an extraordinary period, in this case. Zate, who made up her mind, returned to her human form, and then she whispered softly, accompanied by the music melody emerging from the singing, and in a very long way
The rarely used bard's melody magic casts a speak with animals spell.
Zate's beautiful melody aroused the magic power, which led to the effect of the spell, allowing him to temporarily understand animals and the ability to communicate with them. Seeing Zate transform into a human form, Yilang climbed up and straightened his tail. But maybe it was
Zate never barked an order, and Yilang didn't make a sound.
With the blessing of magic, Zate said to the wolves: "I am your alpha wolf now, and I will be in the future. Now I need you to help me continue to expand our community and territory, and win more for us.
Food, no matter in this form or in that form, I am your leader."
After finishing the work, I planned to take a short rest here. During the rest, Zate hummed a cheerful hymn to help the wolves, especially Wolf B, recover faster.
An hour later, the ice-sealed wound on Wolf B's body had basically healed and scabbed, but the other wolves were also severely frozen. The open space was completely unblockable from the wind, and Zate felt cold all over.
"Huh, it looks like we need to find a shelter from the wind." Zate let out a breath, her body also felt a little weak, but she could still move with difficulty. She rummaged through her backpack again, put on thicker clothes, and tried to
Warm yourself up, and then lead the frozen wolves to find a place that is protected from the wind. If you encounter wild animals on the way, you will direct the wolves to hunt.
Although this frozen tundra is very cold, it has not yet reached the coldest period, and the animals that survive here are all animals with strong cold resistance. Zate led the wolves towards the forest, and hunted several small herbivorous animals on the way.
, can barely fill the bellies of the wolves. It is difficult to walk on the snow, and there are only some dry or rotten tree branches and roots that have been gone for an unknown period of time. As it gets deeper and darker, the trees become thicker, and the terrain is
We kept climbing higher and higher. Before it got completely dark, we finally found a higher hill, and after rushing around for a while, we found a cave that could keep out the cold.
"Great, come with me." Zate led the wolves to the cave. Then Zate hummed a slightly sunny song and simulated the effect of the light spell to check the situation inside the cave.
.
A weak but extremely conspicuous light source in the darkness illuminated the entrance of the cave. It could be seen that the entrance seemed to have been dug out by some creature, and water had been poured and condensed into ice to fix the walls and ceiling.
No matter what kind of creature's lair this is, its intelligence shouldn't be too low. "Well, it doesn't look natural. Is it a cave where other creatures live?" Zate looked back at the wolves' reaction. If it was a dangerous creature living there,
If so, the wolves will definitely react, but no matter what, Zate will not let such a thing go. After all, there is no time to find a new one.
