Chapter 48 The Weird Jackal
After walking through the beacon pass, the long journey officially stepped into the vast Hornberg grassland. Various low plants that were originally green in spring were also sluggish in the scorching sun of midsummer. Many of the plants had already withered yellow, and the ground that was once covered with green blankets showed large patches of yellow spots.
While walking with the team, Li Yan looked up and looked around without a trace. The last time he arrived at Pompeii from Hamelton to Pompeii was passing through the eastern pass, and there were basically big trees along the way. Now this grassland that has never been to before is quite attractive to him.
Wherever you look, you can see tall trees standing alone on the grassland and bearing the scorching of the sun. Some have become yellow, while others are still green.
This scene brings people a strong African grassland style, but you should know that under these seemingly calm pictures, what hides the deadly murderous intent far exceeds that of the African grassland.
"Start up! The Hornberg River is ahead, and it's quite comfortable to rest there." As Lofield matured and a heroic voice sounded, Li Yan looked forward, and over the shaking carriage, the rolling knights appeared in sight. The green and thick leaves made people feel refreshed in this hot and desolate grassland.
At this time, the air that had been heated by the scorching sun kept rolling on the road. The forest, which seemed a little distorted and unreal, was still a distance from Li Yan's team. When the Knights Lofield, who was at the front of the team, could officially touch a big tree outside the woods, another quarter of an hour passed.
Facing the woods near before us, the entire adventurers' team had no formation at all. They dispersed and threw themselves into the shade as quickly as possible, and quickly found a good position, either leaning or lying while enjoying the rare coolness, while whispering to the people around them.
The team of private soldiers and knights was much more disciplined. After entering the woods under the command of the Knight Commander, he quickly sorted out a large area of open space for rest and led three carriages to the center of the open space. The carriage should have carried a constant temperature device. Walking in such a vicious sunlight, the people inside had never opened the curtains.
It was not until he stepped inside that Li Yan discovered that the woods were not big, with less than 10,000 square meters slightly wider than the football field. On the other side opposite to the direction of entering the woods was a medium-sized river that was 100 meters wide, which was exactly what Lofield called the Hornberg River.
This river running through the Lionheart Province from north to south is not only the source of the Pompeii moat, but also the lifeline of the Hornberg grassland. After tens of thousands of years of terrain changes, it has been a "媞" character in this place not far from the Fenghuo Pass, and this small forest was spawned at the top of the "媞", forming a place that is an excellent rest camp for both pedestrians and teams.
Seeing Li Yan finding a slightly flat place to sit down against the tree, Robin also sat down next to Li Yan. By the way, the child has been stuck since he said hello to Li Yan last night, and no other adventurers have come to say hello to the boy. It seems that he joined the team alone, and I don’t know what reason he has found.
After gasping for a few deep breaths, the boy looked at Li Yan's still fair face hidden in his hood and said in surprise: "Mr. Allen, you are so awesome, you are not sweating!"
With a chuckle, Li Yan found a reason: "My clothes are constant with a constant temperature spell, so it's not hot. Besides, I'm used to walking."
"That's great, I'm far from it. If I walk for a while, I doubt I'll faint." After sticking out my tongue, Robin kept slapping the wind with his hands, "I really didn't expect that just being a guard would be so tired."
Li Yan smiled and nodded: "It's just the first time you've joined such a long journey and have no habits. It's normal to be tired. But this will be of great help to improve your strength. I believe that after this long journey, your chances of passing the Army Training Camp assessment will greatly increase."
"Is that true?" Hearing this, Robin looked at Li Yan with excitement, and the fatigue on his face was wiped out.
"Haha, take a break, it's not easy to have to hurry in the afternoon."
Just after noon, the air on the Hornberg grassland became hotter after a long period of intense scorching. For everyone in the woods, it was rare to have such a good resting place, and the entire camp slowly fell into silence.
What no one knows is that in a huge hollowed-out cave under the flat grass several miles away, hundreds of pairs of scarlet eyeballs emerged one after another towards the light outside the cave.
Jackwolf! If the thorn boar is the notorious monster of the southern country of Endres, then the jackwolf is the most hateful beast on the Hornberg grassland!
Yes, wild beasts. The jackal wolf is close relative to the mad wolf, but his personality is very different. The mad wolf is known for its strong body and mad combat. Although the jackal wolf is slightly worse than the mad wolf, its personality is more sinister and cunning than the mad wolf.
They are all team-based, and can be hidden behind the target for up to seven days, until they grasp the target's weakness or negligence, and will rush forward. They are proficient in team combat. The lethality of only four jackal wolves combined together is even the first-level monster, the Wind Wolf, and they have to escape far away when they encounter it. Moreover, they are very sensitive to the aura emitted by creatures. As long as the target is too strong, they will escape without hesitation.
Therefore, people or teams who are not strong enough on the Hornberg grasslands are often suddenly hit by a fatal blow without warning by the jackals and wolves. Once a team of powerful adventurers or troops deliberately disguised themselves and eliminated them, they often cannot find any trace of them.
According to statistics, 20% of the people who disappeared or died on the Hornberg grassland every year were attacked by jackals and wolves! This shows the harm it has on pedestrians.
Anyone who understands the habits of fox wolves knows that although fox wolves are heat-resistant, they will not go out when it is too hot. They usually start in the evening and forage at night. Many people use this to avoid the attack of fox wolves.
But at this time, this medium-sized jackal wolf group that was usually hidden quietly in the ground actually came out at the hottest time of the day! Each end was staring at a pair of scarlet eyes that were different from the usual cunning, and the unconcealed madness and murderous intent made people shudder!
Under the sunlight, you can see that the grayish-white fur color and the thin body are faintly black and the texture is clear. This blackness is not the color on the hair, but is exposed from the skin and skin.
The leading jackals had black muscles and extremely thick limbs, which were completely inconsistent with their bodies.
With scarlet eyes that could not be covered by the sun, saliva dripped in his mouth, the whole wolf pack showed a kind of silence, carrying a mad and strange aura to pounce on the distance!

Huh, the excitement has begun, including the idea being written for nearly 6 hours. The first chapter at 3:20 was completed, and I was allowed to take a nap for half an hour. The second chapter is estimated to be around 7 o'clock, and the third chapter may be 11 o'clock. Friends can raise it first.
