Dusk descends.
In the main urban district of Qingcheng, the city lights have just come on, neon lights glimmering, and the nightlife has just begun. Some people go to bars and KTVs to relax, while others go to hot pot restaurants and barbecue places to satisfy their stomachs and appetites.
On both sides of the streets, the lights in the stores shine as bright as daylight, with people coming and going, presenting a prosperous and peaceful scene.
In a remote area far from the downtown, the buildings are old, the streetlights dim, pedestrians few and far between, with only signs for internet cafes and small inns glowing faintly.
Suddenly, tearing and roaring sounds come from the alleys, stopping after a few seconds.
Then comes an impatient voice with an accent:
"Tie up its mouth! Annoying as hell. That's right, truss it up good!"
"It's you damn things delaying my opening up shop! Kicked to death, look at the pathetic sight!"
"Everyone hold your positions! Can't let these little bastards get into the city!"
"It's much more relaxing for us here. Don't know how it's going over there with the pack leader."
"Who allowed us to have mates? The pack leader won't let us be on the front lines."
On the other side.
Deep in the forest, like entering a pitch-black cave, this forest is no longer as silent as before, instead filled with vicious, grating wolf howls.
More than a dozen foul-smelling fallen werewolves run as if fleeing for their lives.
A huge werewolf as dark as the night leads the wolf pack, darting through the dense forest as if crossing flat ground, claws kicking and scraping the forest floor covered in fallen leaves, leaving irregularly shaped pits behind.
"AWOOOOOO!!!"
Spread out! Surround them!
The huge werewolf lets out a loud roar, then charges to the front, leaping between the big trees, sharp claws leaving behind a trail of scratches.
In just a few bounds he catches up with more than a dozen fallen werewolves. He jumps down from the trees, lands on all fours, faces the fallen werewolves, baring his teeth viciously and snarling threateningly, exerting tremendous oppressive force.
His pure wolf form is so big, like a yak, even taller than a standing human.
One fallen werewolf that meets his gaze immediately yelps in fright, tucking in its tail.
Then the other werewolves surround them on all sides.
Among the trapped fallen werewolves is one slightly bigger werewolf staring fixedly at Gu Wen.
"AWOOO!!!"
Gu Wen! You meddle too much! We have no enmity or grudge with you!
"AWOOO! AWOOOO!! AWOOO---"
"How we treat pure humans is none of your business!! They are all my prey. Survival of the fittest! You're hindering my hunt! Backstabbing your own kind, we are of one clan!"
The enormous black wolf's eyes gleam an eerie green, utterly cold and contemptuous, letting out a mocking, disdainful grunt.
[Vile degenerate beasts, who's of one clan with you?]
Amidst the thick smell of blood, one fallen werewolf after another collapses.
As the fallen werewolves dwindle, the wolves who have not rested for days finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"AWOOO! AWOOO!"
Pack leader! Only a few left.
When no more fallen werewolves can be found in the forest, all the werewolves tilt their heads back and howl joyfully.
Hearing their clan members' howls, the werewolves of Nanfeng Courtyard are overjoyed, jumping and running around the residence.
Black Tail, also guarding Nanfeng Courtyard, streaks up the stairs and knocks on Shang Xi's room door.
"Shang Xi! We won!!!!"
"We've won!!"
Upon hearing the news, Shang Xi heaves a big sigh of relief. The little cub at its mother's side looks up at Black Tail: "Is Daddy coming back?"
Black Tail smiles, baring his white teeth. "That's right! Has the little cub missed its wolf dad?"
The little wolf cub purses its lips, looking somewhat embarrassed but unwilling to show it. So he gives his little mouth a lick and mumbles: "I guess."
Shang Xi strokes her son's soft black hair, a tender look in her eyes. "Just a guess?"
Just then, low wolf howls sound outside Nanfeng Courtyard's main gate.
"AWOOO, AWOOOOO---"
We're back!
"AWOOO! AWOOO!"
Some are injured and need treatment.
Black Tail's eyes widen: "They're back so soon? I'll go take a look!"
With that, he spins around and streaks off downstairs. The other werewolves in the residence also run outside.
Once out of the residential area, they see rows upon rows of fully armed and gun-toting pure humans, barrels facing outward.
At the main gate are about twenty werewolves in pure human form, all injured, each one looking as if they just crawled out of the water, drenched from head to toe and extremely bedraggled.
Water can wash away a large part of their scent.
A man with a white T-shirt and full beard scratches his head wearily.
"We're the injured. The pack leader sent us back ahead of time."
"The pack leader will be back soon too. Don't worry, we've won."
Seeing the unfamiliar faces, Black Tail does not suspect anything. With hundreds of wolves following the pack leader, there are many he doesn't recognize.
He's only familiar with those few at Nanfeng Courtyard. It's normal he doesn't know those werewolves scattered around Qingcheng.
Those werewolves lead normal lives most of the time, only appearing when needed.
He sniffs the air, smelling only the fishy and bloody scents coming from the werewolves.
"I haven't been back for days already. Just wanted to say hi to you guys. Call on us anytime you need to. See you."
As his voice trails off, the drenched werewolves turn and start to leave.
Cyan Tail's tail wags as he excitedly pulls open the iron gate. "Brothers, you've worked hard. Hungry? Come in and get treated and eat!"
"That's right!" Black Tail steps forward and pulls a werewolf in with each hand, barking loudly, "Don't even think about leaving! Eat your fill before going!"
"Then we'll have to thank you brothers."
Yellow Tail looks at the sopping wet werewolves. "Did you all fall into the river?"
"Don't even mention it. We nearly drowned in the river chasing the fallen werewolves."
Yellow Tail is instantly full of admiration. "Brothers, you've suffered!"
Passing by the armed pure humans, Yellow Tail explains, "They're our clan, it's fine."
The man in the soaked white T-shirt pauses briefly at the sight of the dark gun muzzles. "The pack leader must really love his mate to have found so many pure humans to help."
Black Tail says, "Of course! Our pack leader's wife is beautiful and gentle. Even when eating, the pack leader can't bear to look away from her."
The man in the white T-shirt's eyes darken slightly. "Is that so? How nice."
Nanfeng Courtyard's lights shine brightly as the night wind blows. Led by Nanfeng Courtyard's werewolves, the group of werewolves heads toward the residential area.
Cang Ling has just emerged from the underground ice cellar, fetching cold spring water for the cubs to drink. As he steps above ground, he sees this scene.
Looking at the werewolves in the distance, Black Tail and the others up front don't notice, but the werewolves behind have a strange gait, twisting their necks in odd gestures, like zombies trying to act normal.
Cang Ling frowns, about to deeply sniff their scent, but finds them totally drenched.
His expression instantly turns ominous!
"Halt!!"
Clutching the cold spring water, he charges over in a few big strides. In the process, his body undergoes tremendous change.
Wolf ears, claws, tail, his transformation into a pure brown giant wolf completes during his run. A wrinkled scar mars the wolf's face.
Before Black Tail can react, those drenched werewolves also let out howls, turning into hideous, mangy, foul-smelling fallen werewolves.
"F*ck!! They're fallen werewolves!"
"We've been tricked!"
"Don't let them into the main residence!!"
Muffled gunshots ring out as the pure humans' silenced guns drop one fallen werewolf after another. Amidst the tearing, snarling, and howling, the scene descends into chaos.
One human takes a step back, gun in hand, as he watches the wolves tearing at each other. "I can't tell them apart anymore...I accidentally shot one of our own just now..."
Black Tail was deceived and became furious, attacking wildly.
However, Nanfeng Courtyard only had ten wolves left. Over twenty fallen wolfmen had come, determined to stake everything on this last attempt, to live or die now.
They attacked madly, recklessly, trying to charge into the main building.
The wolf pack scattered in all directions. Some wolfmen jumped through windows and climbed up to the second floor, growling lowly.
Yellow Tail's scalp prickled when he saw this scene.
Shang Xi and the cubs!!
That was their goal!
A pure brown giant wolf smashed through the French windows and chased up after them, biting into the fallen wolfman's neck and flinging it down from the second floor with force.
The ornate chandelier came crashing down with it, shattering noisily.
