“I’m a scholar researching wild animals; I’m not a wild scholar!”

Fang Yuan shrugged and showed a wide smile. “I’ll be borrowing your house to live in, I hope that I won’t be intruding!”

“You’re welcome here!” Female horseman Florina nodded her head but was viciously rolling her eyes in her heart as she felt that the newcomer had bad intentions.

“Alright, let’s all go into the house. I’ll arrange a room for you.” Town mayor Beetho instantly stepped forward to settle things when he saw the situation. “My place has just made a new batch of horse sausages, it tastes pretty good…’

“Mayor! Mayor!”

At that moment, someone shouted anxiously, “There’s trouble!”

“What happened?”

In such a small and isolated town, the mayor tends to have the responsibility to investigate and sentence one to a trial. So he may, hence, be called the highest-ranking officer of law and order. Beetho frowned and looked at the person who was approaching.

“Old alcoholic…”

It was a young fellow running over, panting. Seeing that there was a stranger—Fang Yuan, he stopped talking.

“Continue… This is Hulk, a scholar from the big city!” Beetho knitted his brows.

“The old alcoholic… is dead! His corpse was found at the border of the Black Forest!”

The youngster finally said it out loud, and this resulted in a change of expression on both Beetho’s and Florina’s faces.

“Homicide?”

Fang Yuan looked at the father and daughter duo who wanted to set off immediately and volunteered, moving one step forward. “Why not bring me along, I’ve learned some forensics before!”

“You… Alright!” Beetho was a little hesitant but agreed after looking at his daughter.

The person who was called an old alcoholic was true to his appearance; he was sloppy, with a brandy nose that was large and red. There was also a wine pot next to his hand, with large amounts of wine spilled all over the floor.

Unfortunately, his mouth, that was wide open, could never taste the flavor of the wine anymore.

This was because the old alcoholic had become a corpse now, his abdomen area was torn open. The internal organs were almost completely devoured.

There was already a bunch of people surrounding the corpse, with a few mounted policemen maintaining the order.

“Looks like a wild beast did this. Could it be the wolf from before?”

Many observers were already whispering amongst themselves, the fear spreading.

“It really is a wolf!” Florina stepped forward and observed the footprint on the floor carefully but frowned. “But…”

“But it’s a different wolf from the one we saw previously. It’s a much larger and crueler one!” Fang Yuan added.

“How do you know that?” The gaze of the female horseman was filled with surprise.

“Don’t forget that I’m a zoologist specializing in wild animals!” Fang Yuan smiled, his gaze was grave.

To animals, although internal organs are exceptionally delicious, the other parts are also forms of tasty meat that cannot be casually thrown away.

Unless… the party wasn’t in need of food. This also wasn’t a simple hunt, but a provocation!

“How did it go?”

Thinking to this point, Fang Yuan said to Beetho directly, “Do you want to employ me? I think I can provide some suggestions for dealing with this big guy.”

“There’s no need!” Without waiting for the mayor to reply, Florina said with determination, “John Town’s matters can only be solved by John Town’s people. I’ll definitely catch that vicious animal, it’s insulting all of us Forest Protectors!”

“Okay…”

A gold light flashed in Fang Yuan’s eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up to reveal a smile as he stood aside to watch the show.

Swoosh!

Within the dense forest, a black shadow appeared and leaped out, sudden and quick like a thunderbolt. It was then accompanied by a large amount of screaming. It had a child in its mouth and vanished swiftly…

With Fang Yuan’s sight, he could clearly see that the enormous wolf was over two meters tall, like a horse. Its fur had a hint of black brilliance, and there were three rows of claw marks on its right eye.

“Be… Beast!!!”

Just when the Forest Protector’s promise still rang in their ears, the black wolf couldn’t wait and leaped out to give them a tight slap on the face. This caused Florina’s face to flush red. “Chase it! It cannot escape!”

Instantly, with their hands on their weapons, a few forest protectors chased it into the Black Forest with lightning speed.

“Florina… Come back!” Beetho shouted anxiously. However, his daughter didn’t listen to him and disappeared in a split second.

“Mister Hulk… What should we do?” He looked at Fang Yuan anxiously and was panic-stricken, just like a normal person.

“Hmm? That’s wrong, he’s a normal person, there aren’t many traces of mysterious power in his body…” Fang Yuan thought silently, “the daughter is someone that’s above average, yet the father isn’t. Does this mean that she inherited it from the maternal family?”

At this point, he couldn’t help but look at the mayor in pity.

No matter what family one belongs to, authority is always accompanied by the amount of power one has to speak out. Even if this mayor looked grand in front of outsiders, he most likely hasn’t had much of a position in the house with his wife back then, and now his daughter.

“We’ll have to see what you decide…”

Whatever happened to others didn’t concern Fang Yuan, he smiled at the mayor. “Your daughter seems to have rejected me.”

“Not a problem, I’ll employ you, I’m the mayor!” Beetho stuck his chest out proudly, but went on to look around in guilt and added, “Even if the town doesn’t agree, I’ll pay you out of my own pocket!”

“Well, the contract is complete!” Fang Yuan smiled and similarly charged into the Black Forest.

Even at that moment, he didn’t release the long suitcase he held in his hand.

…

Within the Black Forest.

Florina and the few other Forest Protector were fast and were able to keep their eyes glued to the black wolf ahead.

“Things are getting more and more out of hand, this isn’t a wolf from the Alpha Family!”

The few Forest Protectors had a firm look and had quick responses. Indistinctly, it appeared that Florina became the one leading them.

“Indeed, we have an arrangement between us. Even if they want to provoke us, they wouldn’t do this!”

Florina looked at her surroundings before suddenly deciding. “Chase it!”

Once she finished her words, she increased her speed greatly, and bits of packed black scales appeared on her cheeks.

Around her, the same transformation occurred on the other Forest Protectors as well, some even had a small black horn growing out of their forehead.

After transforming, their strength and speed multiplied almost severalfold compared to before. They were able to start closing the distance instantly.

Ahwhoooo!

At that moment, the enormous wolf in front ruthlessly heaved, and a human form flew out, crashing towards a boulder.

“Arthur, go and save him!”

Florina’s expression remained unchanged and continued to chase.

After abandoning its burden, it was clear that the other party’s speed went up a notch and was able to further distance itself. Even the other partners gradually broke away from the chase. Florina was the only one who was determined to continue chasing.

“I’ve caught you!”

At this moment, her eyes lit up and were elated when she saw that the black enormous wolf in front ran into a mountain valley.

Being familiar with the area here, she knew that the valley didn’t have any exits. The other party was jumping into its own grave.

“Which clan are you really from? Or are you purely just from the Night Family Clan?” The brave teenage girl shouted loudly as she didn’t care if there were any traps and rashly rushed in to surround it.

However, Florina was shocked as she saw the scene in front of her, promptly dumbfounded.

“As expected, a really ferocious large dog!”

At the end of the mountain valley, Fang Yuan was standing on an empty piece of land, proudly, with four or five enormous wolves collapsed on the ground.

“It’s a trap!” Florina thought in hindsight but was even more surprised after that. “How did this wild scholar run past me and… how did he deal with so many wolves?”

Ahwhoooo!

Just as she was surprised, the black wolf with claw marks made a sad and shrill, long howl before charging towards Fang Yuan.

Whoosh!

Fang Yuan raised the suitcase to block it, and the bronze lock opened. Starry Night flew out from the inside and landed in his hand, drawing a subtle arc.

“Morning Stars Swordsmanship—Werewolf Kill!”

Poof!

The sword’s light easily struck the enormous wolf’s neck. A large wolf head flew off with blood gushing out.

“You’re… a Demon Hunter?!” Florina looked at the scene in a daze and suddenly confirmed it.

“Hmm… I’m not sure what explanation you have for this scene, Miss Black Scale Club Master?” Fang Yuan raised his head, his facial expression showed that he didn’t know whether to laugh or not.

In actual truth, he had long forced out the information from the ambushed wolves. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have killed all of them so directly and efficiently.

“What do you want? Are you here to ‘hunt’ us?” Florina looked at Fang Yuan, vigilance in her eyes.

Although most of the Masters chose to stand in the middle, they weren’t kind, but they were evil to the “pure-blooded” Demon Hunters. They liked to send all the Night Family Clan into hell, and even more so for those with Masters’ blood!

“No… It’s only an inspection.” Fang Yuan shrugged, unfortunately, the blood on the Starry Night sword made his words unbelievable. “Oh… also, your father has entrusted your safety to me!”

“That old man!” Florina face turned a little red. She knew that she would be the one besieged by the wolf pack if it wasn’t for Fang Yuan.

After cursing in a low tone, she then looked like she thought of something and dispersed the scales on her face. “You… didn’t see anything!”

Promptly, Miss Master added on viciously, “You don’t have permission to tell anyone!”

“Looks like… it’s a woman’s nature to look pretty no matter what world and clan she’s in…” Fang Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart. “I’ll consider it… also, your scales are beautiful!”

He had to say that Florina’s scales were very different from the other Forest Protectors’ weird scales. Hers were refined and small, the area wasn’t big either. It was like a symbol or tattoo that represented her different blood. Furthermore, she controlled it perfectly.

“Thank you!” This time, the teenage Master truly appeared flushed.

After all, she felt that no matter what, a teenaged girl with scales was ugly.

To be able to gain compliments from the other party at that moment, especially from a young, male Demon Hunter, she felt shy and a little surprised at the same time.

“Florina!”

At that moment, a few shouts could be heard from behind. It was clear that the other Forest Protectors had rushed over.

“I’ll go first. Remember to pack my room and prepare for dinner!”

Fang Yuan kept Starry Night and carried the corpse of the largest black wolf. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

This speed made Florina draw a sharp breath of cold air. She knew why the other party was able to overtake her and appear in front of her.
