Cursed Immortality

Chapter 46 Dark Wolf Ridge

The four horse riders carefully move toward the dark wolf ridge, which was a few miles away from the point they stop before.

But they were completely oblivious to the fact that someone was following them despite their horses, and this person was on foot!

Furthermore, this person was doing this with extreme agility and without breaking any sweat at that.

After half an hour of journey, they finally reached the footstep of a mountain valley.

The blond hair youth name Gus questioned the black hair Arian, ”Is this the entrance of the dark wolf ridge?”

The two beautiful girls were also admiring the beautiful view, completely oblivious to how dangerous this place was.

Arian nodded and replied solemnly, ”Yes, sir Gus, if another wanted to enter the deeper parts of the rainy mountains, one way is to cross this dark wolf ridge. We should only hunt within ten kilometers, or we might attract large wolf packs, and we have to leave before dark. Those dark wolves are extremely active in the dark, and weʼll be in trouble if they ambush us.”

Gus said, ”Then why are we waiting for? We only have three hours before it got dark. What do you think, ladies?”

Kiana, the young petite and vivacious lady with a round face and smooth white skin, replied with a hint of excitement, ”Yes, weʼll need to hurry. I donʼt want to miss the chance to experience hunting, right, Jennifer?”

Jennifer, who had a captivating oval face with pale white skin and bright long blonde hair, wanted to say something but, in the end, was hesitant while looking at her best friendʼs expected expression and her brother, Gus, confident smile.

She took a deep breath and nodded with a smile that was somewhat forceful, ”Alright, but we have to leave before it gets dark.”

”Hehe, just trust your big brother in this.” Gus confidently declared and signal Arian to lead the way.

They all slowly move while holding their rifles in the active position, so they could react at any given moment of danger.

But to their misfortune, they didnʼt encounter any wolf or any kind of animal, even after entering five miles deep in the dark wolf ridge.

Arian couldnʼt help but knit his eyebrows. ”We didnʼt encounter a single wolf all this time. Whatʼs going on?”

Gus coolly said, ”Donʼt worry, maybe we need to go deeper before those dogs show themselves. With these latest ʼcannonsʼ, we didnʼt need to worry about some lowly dogs at all.”

Arian didnʼt retort, nor did he reply. He was feeling uneasy because he wasnʼt like these three aristocrats who hunt once in a while for fun, but he was a professional hunter who make living with hunting.

The rainy mountain ranges were extremely vast and dangerous, so he seldom came here, especially after becoming someoneʼs guide. If Gus hasnʼt offered him this latest ʼcannonʼ he wasnʼt willing to enter the rainy mountain range with these three house flowers.

Nevertheless, he knew he canʼt leave them here because of their backgrounds unless he wanted to live his life in these mountains, which was akin to not living at all.

That was why he had to do his duty of guide and kept them safe while letting them hunt some animals in the outer parts of the rainy mountains and this dark wolf ridge was quite safe as long as they didnʼt enter too deep within and these three will also get their kick out of hunting the wolves.

But now that no wolf was pouncing on them even after entering this deep in the dark wolf ridge, he started to feel uneasy.

Just like that, had entered over ten miles deep into the dark wolf ridge and if they continue to move, theyʼll enter the breeding place of the dark wolves, which will spell their death at any day.

Arian signal them to stop before he said, with a grim look in his eyes, ”Sir Gus, we should leave. Thereʼs something wrong with this place.”

Gus looked at Arian with an unkind gaze and sternly said, ”Sir Arian, I donʼt see any wolf in here, but you keep being overly dramatic. I think Iʼll have to talk with your Agency Leader after I got back.”

Arian frowned, but he didnʼt back down, ”You can complain all you want, but I donʼt think the Leader will punish me, because I think thereʼs a rare Wolf King in the dark wolf ridge now. Thatʼs why all the wondering wolves have retreated to the core of this ridge, and only a wolf king can make this happen.

”Trust me, youʼll thank me later, but we have to leave before the thousands of wolves will be upon us. Or we donʼt even have a chance!”

Gus was startled, hearing ʼWolf Kingʼ. It was a rare species that can control its kind as long as there wasnʼt another wolf king in the pack.

Furthermore, the birth of the wolf king was a very grave matter for the people who lived close to this area of rainy mountain ranges.

A wolf king can easily cause a wolf stampede, which will not be good news for humans at all.

Jennifer also spoke with an imploring tone, ”Brother, listen to him. Weʼll go to some other place.”

Kiana also seemed terrified and looked at Gus.

Gus clenched his teeth and finally agreed, ”Fine, letʼs go then!”

Arian have massive sighed with relief, and he quickly turned around his horse and led them toward the exit of this ridge.

However, the dusk was already starting and when there were only three miles between the exit and them; they heard a ghastly cry from afar which made them shiver,

”Awooooooo!”

Arian couldnʼt help but shout, ”Thatʼs definitely a wolf kingʼs cry. We have to leave quickly. It was a clear signal for the hunt, weʼve been discovered!”

In shades of trees, Jacob, who has been following and listening to this group all day long, couldnʼt help but wonder with gleaming eyes, ʼA rare species? I have never encountered it during my entire travel. If I can collect its blood and heart…ʼ

At this moment, Jacob looked at the galloping group of horses with extremely cold eyes like they were high-quality baits!
