Chapter 1124: The Source

"Alright, I understand, thank you all." Chen Yu nodded.

"Mr. Chen, you are too polite. It is we who should thank you. If it weren't for you, who would have known that these things were actually hidden in our village?" a hunter said.

"That's right, you solved the Heart Demon for us, and now you've discovered the source of the virus," another hunter also said. "We must properly show our gratitude to you."

"Old master, what kind of fierce beasts are in this forest of yours?" Wang Yi asked.

"Bears, the fiercest things there are. Even tigers have to take a detour when they see them. It's just that they've been fewer in the last two years; in the past, they would run straight into the village to snatch food."

The old hunter said, "And there are wolves. When these things come out, they always come in packs. Tigers and lions and such are rarely seen."

"These animals are more active at night, so we must be careful. If we are not careful, we might be attacked."

"Everyone be careful. Our destination is still far away, in the heart of the forest." Chen Yu glanced at the map.

"That kid from next door is also bold, daring to run deep into the forest. Even in broad daylight, it is very dangerous there."

A hunter said, "He should be glad he had good luck and didn't encounter large carnivorous animals; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to come back alive."

The group walked forward, and before long, a mist rose up ahead.

"Miasma..." The face of one hunter began to look rather grim.

This Miasma is harmful to the human body, and if inhaled too much, one will be directly poisoned or fall into hallucinations.

"I have some medicine here. Everyone take it. After you eat it, you won't have to fear this Miasma." Chen Yu took out some medicine and distributed it to everyone.

The group hurriedly took it and then continued forward.

"Hey, it really is true. Mr. Chen, your medicine is really effective. Could you get me some more later?" a hunter said, both surprised and delighted.

With this kind of Miasma, they would usually feel dizzy and lightheaded after inhaling it, but after taking Chen Yu's medicine, they felt absolutely no ill effects upon entering the Miasma.

"It's true. I am particularly sensitive to these things. Once I inhale them, I feel a headache, but now I feel perfectly fine," another hunter said.

"No problem. After we go back, I will give you the formula. This Miasma is damp-toxin, and my medicine is made from traditional Chinese medicine that clears heat and resolves toxins," Chen Yu said.

"Really? Then thank you so much, Mr. Chen." The group was simply surprised and delighted; who would have thought Chen Yu would be so generous as to give them the formula directly?

"Everyone be careful, something is wrong ahead." Just at this moment, Chen Yu knitted his brows and looked straight ahead.

His Divine Sense was countless times stronger than an ordinary person's, so even the old hunters who often hunted in the deep mountains did not have as much insight as Chen Yu.

"Really?" The older hunter looked ahead with some doubt. "I didn't smell anything."

This old hunter had been hunting for over twenty years and knew the forest better than his own home. Moreover, any rustle or movement in here could not escape his ears and nose.

If any animal living in the forest came over, he would be able to smell the scent of those things very quickly.

But now they were walking against the wind, and he hadn't smelled anything. How did Chen Yu know there was something ahead?

"It's wolves, and a whole pack at that." Chen Yu's brows locked even tighter. These wolves weren't exactly terrifying, but did he really have to start a massacre?

"Listen to Mr. Chen; he doesn't rely on smelling." Wang Yi and Zhang Ji had already raised their guns and become alert.

Although the few hunters still didn't quite believe it, they also became serious. After all, encountering a wolf pack at night was no laughing matter.

This thing is a tyrant in the deep mountains. Even lions and tigers take a detour when they see them. After all, they are pack animals and never fight you one-on-one; they come in a huge group.

Suddenly, a pair of green eyes appeared ahead. The group felt a tightness in their hearts, and several feathered arrows and guns were aimed simultaneously at those green eyes.

Sure enough, as those green eyes drew closer, a wolf of massive size appeared.

There is no shortage of food in the forest, so these wolves grew robust and strong, making them almost a scourge in the forest.

But this thing never appeared alone, and for there to be only one at this time was almost impossible.

Sure enough, just as the group retreated a few steps, dozens of green eyes appeared in the darkness.

A dark, dense pack of wolves pressed in. These beasts glared with their green eyes, staring fixedly at the people before them. Although they were not short of food, changing their palate occasionally was also extremely nice.

A howling sound rose up within the wolf pack. One wolf looked up to the sky and let out a howl, and these dozens of wolves also raised their heads. For a time, the forest was filled with continuous cries.

A hunter's hand moved, about to fire with the hunting rifle in his hand, but he was stopped by Chen Yu.

"Wait, don't act rashly. I feel they have no malice," Chen Yu hurriedly stopped the hunter.

"Mr. Chen, these beasts have no Spirit; they aren't like dogs. They are full of wild nature," a hunter said, startled. He suspected that Chen Yu might have made a mistake.

Chen Yu shook his head. He closed his eyes and walked forward slowly. The leading wolf should be the wolf king. Although its eyes revealed a fierce light, Chen Yu clearly felt a sense of seeking help within its consciousness.

"Mr. Chen..." A hunter was startled and hurriedly stepped forward, raising the arrow in his hand and aiming it at the wolf king.

They were afraid Chen Yu would get hurt. Having hunted in the deep mountains for a lifetime, they knew how cruel these wolves were by nature. Chen Yu was the hope for saving their village; if something happened to Chen Yu, they wouldn't be able to answer to the old village chief when they returned.

"It's fine, don't be nervous." Chen Yu waved his hand, signaling him not to panic. Then Chen Yu reached out his hand, condensed his Divine Sense onto his fingertips, and tentatively touched the wolf king's forehead.

The wolf king did indeed have a sense of resistance at first, but as Chen Yu's hand touched its forehead, that trace of resistance vanished. It let out a mournful cry and looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu communicated with it using his Divine Sense. A moment later, Chen Yu understood what was going on.

It was indeed asking for help. Even a wolf king, possessing a pack of dozens of members, had times of helplessness. It was actually very afraid of humans, so it had summoned a great deal of courage when it asked for help.

"It is calling for help. Put away the things in your hands," Chen Yu understood what was happening.

Wang Yi and Zhang Ji put away their weapons without hesitation because they knew clearly that Chen Yu would absolutely not be wrong.

The other few hunters hesitated for a moment, then followed suit and put away the things in their hands. They chose to trust Chen Yu.
