The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon's guess was correct, the giant wolf was indeed calling the wolf pack.

Before the wolf pack arrived, the giant wolf continued to attack Leon.

However, its attack was very cautious. It was also aware of Lyon's strength and no longer gave Lyon any chance to hit.

When the first group of wolves arrived, the giant wolf ordered the wolves to charge forward.

It immediately left the battlefield, bent down, carried the seriously injured and dying Cyclops wolf on its back, and then rushed towards the mountain without looking back.

Leon wanted to stop them, but the wolves had already pounced on him, there were more than a dozen of them.

As a last resort, he had to draw out his steel sword to deal with these ordinary timber wolves.

The silver sword is too soft and is only effective against certain creatures.

When dealing with ordinary creatures, the steel sword is the main weapon.

Timber wolves are not much bigger than native dogs, but they are numerous and very ferocious.

Even Leon would find it a bit difficult to encounter so many at once.

He moved carefully, found the location of the wolf, and immediately rushed forward to kill it.

Then they killed two more timberwolves, and the wolf pack fled after howling a few times.

Lyon searched around for a while and finally found the warhorse not far away.

It is indeed a trained horse. If it was his old horse, it would have run away to who knows where.

Leon jumped on his horse and immediately ran in the direction of the giant wolf.

"It shouldn't run too far." Lyon thought to himself.

And he couldn't understand why the giant wolf was running away.

Shouldn't it avenge the Cyclops wolf?

The Cyclops Wolf's artery was cut by it, and there was cursed biological oil and silver powder near the wound, so it was impossible to heal.

The Cyclops wolf was dead.

Even if the giant wolf wanted to escape, it shouldn't have run away carrying the Cyclops on its back.

But no matter what, the blood of the Cyclops wolf was as eye-catching as a fluorescent mark, pointing him in the direction of the wolf's escape.

No matter what the giant wolf plans, he must seize the opportunity tonight.

Leon followed along, and soon a pack of wolves rushed over and attacked him.

Lyon rode on the horse, leaned down and swung the steel sword continuously.

The quality of war horses is much better than that of ordinary civilian horses, and it is obvious that they receive similar training in their daily lives.

Therefore, even when faced with an endless stream of wolves, the war horses did not show too much panic and kept running in the direction where Lyon was pulling.

Leon kept swinging his steel sword and finally fought off the returning wolves.

In the end, there were basically no wolves harassing them anymore.

Soon he arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the blood trail of the giant wolf was heading up the steep mountain.

Faced with such a place, Lyon had to give up riding and climb the mountain by himself.

"Could it be that a wolf is hiding up there?" Leon thought to himself.

He followed the blood trail all the way up. The giant wolf's route was very straight, as if it was going to cross the Blue Mountains.

But soon, he realized that he was overthinking.

A three-meter-high cave suddenly appeared in front of him, and the bloodstains of the Cyclops wolf also pointed to the inside of the cave.

Leon hesitated for a moment, but finally followed in.

After entering the cave, the light suddenly dimmed and Leon's vision was greatly restricted.

But he was not afraid. It was very quiet in there and he could rely on his ears to sense the movements of the giant wolf.

call out--

Still, he miscalculated.

Not long after he entered the cave, a sound of breaking wind was heard.

It's an arrow!

It was too late to use the Quen Sign, so he could only dodge sideways while swinging his sword to block.

puff--

It was too dark, so I couldn't block it, but I also avoided the vital parts.

The arrow pierced his left shoulder, but did not injure his meridians.

Leon frowned and swung his sword to cut off the hilt instead of pulling out the arrow.

At the same time, he heard the sound of a bowstring being tightened right in front of him.

Without saying a word, Leon raised his left hand and cast a magical seal forward.

call--

In an instant, a flame swept out, illuminating the situation inside the cave.

The Igni Seal can release flames to burn anything within a three-meter range in front of you.

Leon saw that about ten meters away, a naked man was drawing a bow and pointing an arrow at him.

"Damn Demon Hunter!"

The sudden burst of fire made him curse, and the arrow in his hand loosened and shot out.

But this time, Leon swung his steel sword and easily blocked the arrow.

At the same time, while the fire had not yet been extinguished, he rushed forward.

However, the man reacted very quickly and immediately stepped back, not giving Leon any chance to get close.

But Leon still chased after him, always making sure the other party was within his sight.

hum-

After chasing for about two minutes, Leon saw that the end of the cave seemed to turn a corner.

And at the corner, a light green light was emitted.

At this moment, the Demon Hunter medal on his chest also trembled.

"With the power of magic."

Lyon immediately became alert.

At the same time, the man stopped running and stopped.

Leon looked carefully and could vaguely see that this was a middle-aged man with evenly-proportioned muscles. He should be a hunter.

At this moment, Leon seemed to have thought of something.

"Are you the hunter who saved Count Berne's life?" he asked immediately.

"Yes, it's me." The man did not deny it. "The Count invited you here, right?"

Leon nodded.

No wonder the Count said that his appearance had not changed at all over the past decade.

The lifespan of a werewolf is three to four times that of a human, and they can live to be around 200 years old.

A dozen years is not enough for a werewolf to change his appearance.

"So, you were the one who instigated the wolf pack that besieged him," Leon said, "You tricked him into making a promise of accidental death!"

"Haha, so what? If he keeps his promise, his family will now have a powerful werewolf guardian!" The man sneered, with a green light flashing in his eyes.

“Why?” Leon asked, “Most werewolves avoid having anything to do with humans after awakening.

Aren't you afraid that the Earl will lead his troops to attack you?"

Werewolves are powerful, but there are too few of them. One or two in one place is already the limit, and they are all relatives.

Werewolf families are rare, and many werewolves don't even know they are werewolves.

"Why? Why should I tell you?" the man said coldly, "Demon Hunter, I'm giving you a piece of advice. Leave now and I won't hold you accountable for what happened!"

Leon looked at the man, sneered, shook his head and said: "I have already accepted the Earl's bounty, so naturally I have to bring your head back for the task."

A ferocious look appeared on the man's face. At the same time, his body began to bulge, brown hair began to grow, and his voice became turbid.

"Then I will tear you to pieces!" The man completely turned into a werewolf and pounced towards Leon.
