The Wolves Are Coming (3)

They searched all over, but even after scouring every corner of the town, they found no sign of the giant wolves. It was as if the wolves had never been there at all.

"Strange. How strange. Why isn't there a single clue?" Fanxin muttered to himself.

The giant wolves had appeared not long ago. So little time had passed that they should have left some clues behind, especially since no one had disturbed the scene.

"The giant wolves must have gotten rid of them themselves. They don't want anyone to find them," Ren Fang said.

She had seen the giant wolves with her own eyes earlier. It definitely hadn't been a dream. The wolves had caused destruction here, so they were bound to have left clues, yet now there wasn't a single one. It was too strange. Since no one had destroyed the clues, it could only have been the wolves themselves.

"That's possible." Fanxin nodded slightly.

"Then what should we do? Keep waiting?" Ren Fang asked.

They couldn't even find a trace of the giant wolves, so she saw no point in staying. But Fanxin was the heart of their group, so she naturally wanted to see what he would do.

"Yeah, let's wait. Little Black isn't done yet, so we can't set sail for now." Fanxin considered it for a moment before answering.

Fanxin then took Ren Fang to a spacious area and picked a spot to sit down. They planned to wait there for Little Black.

"Ren Fang, who's your enemy? Can you tell me? We're partners now. I can help you send him flying." After a moment's thought, Fanxin looked at Ren Fang and spoke.

Ren Fang had always kept a secret buried in her heart, refusing to tell him or Little Black. Fanxin knew that she wanted to deal with the murderer who had killed her entire family on her own. But he was a little worried. Although their two years of training had made each of them stronger, and Ren Fang was no longer a timid little girl, she could be in danger if her opponent was too powerful for her to handle alone.

After two years together, Fanxin no longer regarded Ren Fang as an outsider. He wouldn't even object if someone called her his family. He truly didn't want to see her suffer, so he wanted to help her.

With him and Little Black joining her, he believed the three of them could kill that hateful fellow with their own hands.

"Mm, I'll tell you once I find him. Don't worry. If I'm not strong enough, I won't try to play the hero," Ren Fang said with a slight nod.

"All right, we'll talk about it then!" Seeing that Ren Fang stubbornly refused to say more, Fanxin felt helpless.

He didn't want to force her. After all, it was her private affair. He believed that when the time was right, Ren Fang would tell them. They were good partners.

"Mm." Ren Fang nodded. Perhaps because she was feeling troubled, she said nothing more to Fanxin. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he didn't bother her either. The two leaned against a door in silence.

Twenty minutes later, Fanxin felt thirsty and got up to find some water.

But as soon as he stood, he spotted a wolf beside him. It wasn't a giant wolf, though, but a little wolf about the same size as Little Black. It was sitting obediently on the ground, its eyes darting about. It was very cute.

"Ren Fang, is... is this the giant wolf?"

After looking at the little wolf, Fanxin nudged Ren Fang and asked. She had seen the giant wolf transform into a little wolf earlier, so she should be able to tell whether this was the same one.

Ren Fang froze for a moment. Following Fanxin's gaze, she saw the little wolf and examined it carefully. "That's right, it's the same wolf. This is what it looks like after transforming."

"How did it get beside us? How did it appear?"

Ren Fang was very curious. She and Fanxin had both undergone rigorous training and could hear the slightest disturbance around them. Yet neither of them had heard a thing just now.

"I don't know either. I was about to get some water, and when I stood up, there it was," Fanxin said helplessly. As he spoke, he remained on high alert. A wolf that could approach them unnoticed was certainly not weak. If he let his guard down, he could suffer a serious loss.

"Hey, little wolf, what did you come over here for?" Fanxin asked tentatively. He didn't know whether the little wolf could speak, but with an exception like Little Black, he thought it was worth a try.

"Weren't you looking for me?" To Fanxin's surprise, the little wolf spoke.

"I was just curious. I wasn't targeting you, so don't misunderstand," Fanxin said.

"Hmph. If you were targeting me, we would have torn you apart by now," the little wolf said bluntly.

Fanxin froze for a moment, then said, "All right, we've seen you now. There's nothing else, so you can go."

Although he didn't know whether the little wolf could tear him apart, he knew it definitely wasn't to be trifled with. He didn't want any further dealings with it.

"You have nothing else, but I do. Come with me!" the little wolf said bluntly.

"Where?" Ren Fang asked warily. The little wolf had appeared in a strange way, and now it wanted them to follow it. She was worried it might be a trick.

"You'll know when you get there." The little wolf refused to reveal the destination.

"Then we're not going," Ren Fang retorted.

"Then I won't be polite," the little wolf said, stamping a front paw on the ground.

A moment later, a terrifying sight appeared. Everything before Fanxin and Ren Fang slowly began to change. The ground, the houses, the trees, the metal, and even the air slowly warped, finally turning into wolves.

The wolves were large and small, packed so densely that they were impossible to count. They surrounded Fanxin and Ren Fang completely. If the two wanted to leave, they would have to defeat them.

Fanxin and Ren Fang stared wide-eyed in disbelief. This ability was absurdly powerful: it could turn everything around them into wolves and make them fight for it. If you weren't strong enough, the consequences were unthinkable.

"What kind of ability is that? A Devil Fruit ability?" Fanxin asked curiously.

"No. Hurry up and come with me, or don't blame me for getting rough," the little wolf threatened.

"What should we do?" Ren Fang looked at Fanxin worriedly. Fighting so many wolves would be difficult, and for every group they dealt with, the little wolf might create another. There would be no end to it.

"Mm, contact Little Black and have him come over. We'll follow this little wolf," Fanxin said immediately after a moment's thought.
