Chapter 14 Corpse in the Snow

The white giant wolf opened its mouth wide, revealing its bloody teeth, and a low roar was heard in his throat. The eight wolves bent down at the same time, their muscles were tense, and the hairs on their necks stood up, which seemed to pounce on them at any time to launch an attack. However, no one of the four people was scared away by these white demon wolves. Several silver-level monsters obviously could not scare away the three legendary pros. As for the other member of the Dragon Being Clan, it is difficult to divide the strength by ranks, but judging from the physical conditions shown, at least they have the strength above gold, so naturally they will not be afraid of these demon wolves.

Although the giant wolf kept threatening with low roars, their steps were still retreating little by little. These monsters were very smart creatures. They could keenly feel the huge pressure emitted by the four people in front of them. After taking a few steps, the giant wolf's head wolf knew that it would lose the remaining food if it retreated. With a long roar, it was about to rush towards the four people. But just as it was about to exert force, it suddenly saw Panis's eyes, just a plain look, without any energy, or any momentum, but the head wolf seemed to be stepped on by someone's neck, making a miserable whimper, with its tail between its hind legs, and it turned around and ran away with the rest. On the snow field, this kind of war between the monsters was very common. The escape of the giant wolf means that they accepted that this was the reality of the other territory and would not turn back under normal circumstances.

"I thought you would kill these demon wolves to vent their anger." McVillin glanced at Panis: "I didn't expect you to just scare them away. It was really beyond my expectations."

"We are not bloodthirsty people," said Catherine. "If they attack us madly, they will naturally kill them to protect themselves, but since they have retreated, there is no need to kill them when hunting is not needed. As for revenge, it can be seen from the deer blood that they only eat dead bodies, and we can still see such obvious things. So, it is not because they are killed, so why should we seek revenge on them?"

Panis ignored the conversation between the two people. He trekked in the snow and slowly approached the location of the corpse. The deer's corpse was messy. One was only opened deer skin and bones covered with fascia piled on the ground, and the other was half of his body left, and the condensed blood clots were scattered on the white snow.

Panis casually looked at the bodies of the two deer and focused his attention on the legs. One leg lay alone in the snow. His thighs were exposed, and his calves were wrapped in thick clothes. From the broken thighs, it can be seen that the broken stubble at the wound was torn off directly by huge force. After touching them, you can find that the residual limbs have been frozen hard, and I don’t know how long it has been left here.

"It looks like it should be the legs of a young woman." Panis frowned and said, "Judged from the bones, the age should be no more than twenty years old and the body is relatively thin. Judging from the temperature here, the time when the leg was broken should be yesterday morning, wrong, or it might be late the night before yesterday. That is, during the banquet. The problem now is how to judge whether this leg is Betty's. Well, maybe it can be used to show Lao Dake to judge."

"Ha, hehe." Catherine laughed dryly, without answering. This behavior of holding her father with a suspected daughter's broken leg requires a lot of courage. Catherine does not think she can complete this task well.

Panis shrugged. He put his broken leg aside and lay on the snow surface to observe the traces on the snow surface bit by bit. Although the blizzard had covered all the footprints left before and the wolves stepped on the snow surface in chaos, he quickly discovered something strange after Panis groped one centimeter by centimeter.

"There is a problem here." Panis patted the snow surface, used his hand as a shovel, and began to dig on the ground. Before long, a fur's corner was exposed in the snow. Catherine and Eva also helped dig, and soon a corpse was dug out from the snow. The corpse looked very miserable, and the clothes and body were covered with claw marks of monsters. Judging from the traces, it should be left by monsters such as snow leopards. Wiping off the snow on the corpse's face, you can find that this was a man in his twenties. The fatal injury was a tear in his abdomen, and his intestines had flowed out of the wound, but it was quickly frozen.

"Is this the Nero?" Catherine and Panis checked the wound on the body together: "Actually, the wound on the abdomen, the intestines flowed out, was frozen, and it was not fatal immediately. However, he lost too much blood. It seemed that too much blood caused the coma, and then he was frozen to death in the snow. But was it the snow leopard that attacked him? It was not dragged him away. This was unreasonable. Let's look for it again to see if we can find the owner of this leg."

Unfortunately, several people dug up for a long time and dug up all the snow nearby. No other body was found. They only found some fragments of clothing, a few pieces of cheap jewelry, and a broken backpack fragment. Several people were searching, and suddenly there was a barking of dogs from behind. Obviously, the few people waiting in the distance couldn't help but drive the sled to check the situation because they had not heard the movement here for too long. They also thought that the four of them had seen the sleds sleds tilted in the snow from a distance, and also saw four professionals digging in the ground. Before they got close to the sled, Lao Dake's body began to tremble violently. When he saw the corpse and his thighs, he tilted his body to the side and fainted on the sled. The townsmen who came with him cried for a long time, but could not awaken the desperate old man.

"You can see it." Panis signaled to other townspeople: "You must have seen Neo and his sleds, come and identify it."

Several townsmen walked to the corpse in a daze, walked carefully at the corpse's face, looked at the frozen blue face, nodded heavily, turned around and checked the damaged sled on the side, and said with gritted teeth: "This is Ner's sled. There is a very deep scratch below the sled. This is left when I borrowed it a few years ago. I remember it very clearly, the same scratch, so this must be his sled, so it will not be wrong."

"Since that's the case, we can make a preliminary conclusion." Catherine nodded and said, "The sled and the corpse are both facing each other, and the two sled deer can also meet. The problem is Betty's whereabouts. When it is impossible to prove that this leg belongs to Betty, we cannot think that Betty has encountered misfortune, it is best..."

"That's Betty's legs." Old Dak's weak voice sounded. He turned his head and saw that the once energetic and energetic old man disappeared. Old Dak's eyes were as if he was twenty years old, with despair in his eyes and a hunched back. He said in a low voice: "When I was a child, this child once climbed the roof, but he stepped on the ice and slid down. He just landed on a farm tool and penetrated two holes in his thighs. Later, although he recovered, he also left a very obvious scar. So when I looked at it, I knew that this leg... wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

"The legs are hers, but the person may not be dead." Catherine gritted her teeth and said loudly: "It's not time to give up now. If you can't find it, it means that Betty has a high chance of still alive."

"No need to comfort me, professional lady." Lao Dake said sadly: "Growing in the snow field, I know very well that in such a cold day, I was attacked by monsters and had a broken leg. No one can survive in this situation. Even if he doesn't lose too much blood due to the broken leg, he will freeze to death due to the cold weather. Huh, don't work harder for everyone, let's go back, that child, she is not lucky, I..."

Halfway through the words, Lao Dake fainted again in the exclamation of others. The old man lost his wife in middle age and never remarried. In the second half of his life, he regarded this only daughter as more important than his own life. Many times, he would rather die by himself than be hurt a little bit. Unexpectedly, his daughter finally grew up but ended up like this. At this time, no one could truly understand the pain and self-blame in his heart.

"Go back." Panis said very seriously to Catherine: "Now go back immediately, bring Ner's body and this leg belonging to Betty, and bring the broken sled with you. At least you have to go back and notify the mayor of the bad news."

"But, Betty..." Catherine suddenly stopped. She saw Panis wink at her speechlessly. After more than a year of cooperation, she absolutely believed Panis's judgment. He had a sudden request to go back now. Therefore, Catherine nodded and said to other townsmen: "Please bring damaged items, put the body and limbs on our sled. It's really troublesome for everyone to search this time. Please work hard for the last stretch of the way, so let's go back to town quickly. By the way, Mr. McVillin, come with you too. Please be a witness to the matter here. I hope you won't feel troublesome."

"It's for sure." McVillin stroked his bald head and sighed slowly, "But you are friends of the Dragon Clan, and you are also good friends of our Dragon Clan. As friends, we will try our best to satisfy your requirements. Since you need it, I'll walk you a little longer."
