Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

"So… you're saying my bull went crazy, and it's likely because it was drugged?"

Hans paused for a moment and asked.

"Yeah, those guys seem to have done a lot of things like that."

Polo said, recalling the yard full of dogs, cats, cattle, horses, sheep, and the like.

"Where are they now?"

"They're all dead."

Polo glanced at Hans, hinting, "Maybe they were unlucky. I spent half a day in town and got targeted."

Hans was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

"Thank you. You don't actually have to follow me on the road ahead, because it will indeed be dangerous."

"Dangerous?"

Polo was taken aback.

"My gold turning into a horse, then into a bull… it's all ahead. And this time—I'm sure it's very dangerous!"

Hans looked ahead, then explained,

"A bandit stronghold. Unlike those hypocritical evildoers before, this is a group of undisguised executioners!"

Hans said, pointing ahead to the end of a fork in the road,

"You can take that route to reach the Kingdom of Sno. The area of the Scorching Sun and Northern Wind is already behind us. You have no reason to follow me anymore."

With that, Hans stopped talking and silently walked towards the more remote path, the one leading to the bandit stronghold.

After walking a few dozen meters, Hans stopped, turned his head, and asked:

"Why are you still following me?"

"You just said it, there are bandits there!"

Leike spoke, and hearing the girl's pure voice, Hans opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

If Polo had said that, Hans might have had other thoughts.

But when Hans thought of Leike's appearance, he inexplicably changed his mind—

Is she worried about me? Really… what a kind child.

"Okay, if you insist on following me on this road…"

Hans nodded, "Let's try to be careful."

The mountains on both sides squeezed towards the center again, and the path became a little rough. They were about to enter the mountains again, and a bandit stronghold was hidden in the green trees ahead.

As for Polo and Leike, were they really concerned about Hans?

Although they had been through life and death together, Polo knew Hans's luck pretty well, so he wasn't too worried about Hans.

So the reason Leike and Polo followed was—

[Circular Regression: Lucky Hans - Fortune of Loss]

[Unsealing Ritual Completion Progress 3/6]

[Completed: Whetstone, Goose, Pig]

[Greedy people use drugs to plunder wealth that does not belong to them, and this wealth, along with their own lives, will—turn into bubbles!]

Polo didn't want to give up on this still unknown circular regression.

After all, most of these fairy tale authorities can play a significant role.

Whether it was the previous [Little Red Riding Hood - Cute Girl] or [Little Red Riding Hood - Wolf's Disguise], they played a huge role in the two ultimately taking down the bishop and the witch hunter.

"Stop, there are people on the mountain road beside us."

The mountain wind rose, and Polo stood up from the bushes on the side. A mixture of human scents came with the airflow from the upwind direction.

"It should be those bandits."

Hans said in a low voice, and Leike's hand also gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Hans's physical strength was that of an ordinary person, so he continued to walk along the mountain road in the front, while Leike and Polo quietly moved from the bushes towards the bandits ambushing in the grass…

Six bandits, wearing armor made of animal skins.

They stood on a huge rock in the bushes, watching Hans walking alone on the mountain road in the distance.

"Someone's coming."

"Looks like… he's not carrying anything? Should we let him go?"

"Dumbass, if he wasn't carrying anything, he would have starved to death halfway. This kind of person must be carrying a lot of money!"

"Okay, boss, I'll go now."

Two lower-ranking bandits nodded, picked up their knives, and ran down the mountain.

But somehow, one of the bandits suddenly stumbled and fell into the jungle!

"Ouch, give me a hand!"

"Okay—"

Another bandit hurriedly followed and disappeared behind the bushes.

"Heh, two idiots!"

The other bandits chuckled, not taking it seriously, and continued to stare at Hans on the mountain road in the distance.

Who knew that after a long time, the two bandits who had gone out still hadn't appeared.

"What's going on? Did those two idiots get lost?"

The bandit squad leader pursed his lips, "You two, go see what's going on!"

Two more bandits jumped off the rock and walked into the bushes.

But after a long time, the bandit squad leader and the last small bandit had realized that something was wrong. The "passerby" Hans in the distance had walked almost to the end of the line of sight and even found a rock to sit down on!

Wrong!

That's bait!?

The thought flashed through the bandit squad leader's mind.

He looked at the grass below the rock and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. The bushes as tall as a person's body seemed to hide a greedy giant mouth!

Weird! We can't stay here!

"Go! There's a problem—"

The squad leader turned his head, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the other person beside him being pounced on by a black shadow!

A wolf!?

He just wanted to raise his knife, but he felt a pain in his wrist.

A silver dagger instantly chopped off his arm!

"Ugh—"

The squad leader wanted to scream, but the coldness against his throat in the next second forced him to swallow the pain back!

"Not bad, there are still two alive."

Polo nodded and dragged the bandit leader and the small bandit into the bushes with Leike.

…

"So… Hans, why did the bandits steal your horse and leave you a bull?"

Polo looked at the two tied-up bandits.

Because the few people didn't have many grass ropes, so just in case, Polo dealt with the other bandits and only left the squad leader and another bandit.

But before killing the other bandits, Polo did learn from their conversation that they were indeed a group of merciless guys.

"It wasn't them who gave it to me, but I snatched it with my life, oh—maybe my luck also played a role."

Hans shook his head, "They had just looted a caravan at that time, blood flowed like a river, and the bullock cart was in the middle of the road, blocking my horse. I remember very clearly—"

Hans's eyes were fixed on the bandit lying on the ground,

"Their knives were already hanging over my head, but then, a bandit behind him stabbed him in the back—he died, and I caught up with an infighting!

The only thing I managed to grab in the chaos was that runaway bull."

Polo was a little dazed. In a sense, this kind of luck is indeed terrible!

"Now that we've already fought… should we take down the bandits on the mountain too?"

Polo glanced at the two terrified bandits beside him.

Regardless of why these bandits became bandits, but when their hands were stained with the blood of innocent people for the first time.

They themselves were burdened with a debt of blood!

"Thank you."

Hans squeezed out a sincere smile on his decadent face, "That's indeed what I wanted to do!"
