BXBX NOVEL Chapter 376 Hell-Hounds
Seconds later, when he raised his head, he found a small pond of crystal clear water which emitted a lot of cooling effect around the area.
"Water," Shin said as he looked at something that looked like a mirage…
He was thirsty… but why not drink the water from the inventory?
"…"
He then started to slowly walk towards the pond of crystal clear water but at that time he heard a voice calling him from behind.
A voice that he was very familiar with.
"No! Your Highness! Please wake up!"
After hearing the voice Shin paused. He looked around himself trying to find the source of the voice but he was unable to.
Shin\'s brows furrowed as he continued looking around him, trying to find Deoras as he was sure that it was Deoras\' voice that said to stop but to his disappointment, he wasn\'t able to find Deoras nor any other shadow and was sure of it that they weren\'t in his shadow as he couldn\'t feel a single presence in his shadow.
He kept on looking around and was only able to see many cacti and a small pond filled with crystal clear water, releasing a lot of cool breezes.
\'Something is wrong…\', Shin realized that something was not right.
His instincts were also warning him.
Also, the cacti that pricked him, gave no pain.
Although he did have the passive skill Pain Nullification, which prevented him from paining any pain on slight injuries, with the number of cacti that pricked him, he should have felt at least some pain!
Plus, the system was weird as well.
The Hp recovered too quickly, just before he used the skill Heal! It was as if, he was never required to use the skill.
\'An illusion…? Or a Dream?\', Shin thought.
Shin then decided to use his skill - [All Seeing eyes.]
His eyes started to shine emerald green and now he was able to see everything.
It was just as he thought. He was stuck in an illusion but now that he used his skill [All Seeing eyes], he was able to see through the illusion.
He spots the heavily injured Deoras. He even saw the other shadow wolves but neither of them seemed to be in good condition.
Shin couldn\'t recall anything about what happened or how it happened.
Shin tried to recall but he couldn\'t. It was as if all of his memories were erased. But that was only temporary as soon enough he started to remember some things, but they were fuzzy at first and as time went by everything started to become clearer.
Once the sandstorm blew Shin away he fell near Death Valley, the second part of the West Terrain. Just a kilometre away. The shadow wolves quickly jumped out of Shin\'s shadow so that they could make sure that he wasn\'t injured.
Shin was knocked out for the rest of the day, after all, Shin was stuck in the Sand Storm for more than an hour – levitating in the air uncontrollably!
While Deoras and the rest were worried, they didn\'t leave his side.
It was already sunset time and it was only now that Shin woke up.
Deoras and the rest were greatly relieved seeing that Shin was not injured at all.
They wanted Shin to rest a bit more and thought that they could finally eat something, but Shin randomly just asked to start walking.
The fact that he just shook his fur and decided to go further ahead, to Death valley was bizarre.
What he wanted was to go to a sheltered place rather than be out in the open – this is what he told others, but in reality, he just wanted to raise their morale!
Since he could spot death valley, he thought that reaching another destination would raise their morale! It would be better if the Heavenly Wolf Family were actually present in Death Valley!
Soon after a long conversation, Shin decided that they would enter death valley in hopes of finding the Heavenly Wolf family.
Due to their long conversation, it was already nighttime as the moonlight met with the ground.
They started to walk toward death valley, but at that time darkness completely enveloped the place as many dark clouds covered the moonlight.
All of a sudden many deep red lights flashed from a distance. Many eye-shaped lights came out of the valley and then started moving towards Shin and the other shadow wolves.
Even though it was completely dark, the shadow wolves were able to see the creatures with the red light. They were HELL-HOUNDS.
The hell hounds quickly started dashing towards the shadow wolves and Shin in hopes of killing them or at least injuring them with their deadly attacks.
They too wanted a feast and seeing a group of powerless or seemingly weak wolves with fewer numbers, they thought that they would be an easy target!
The shadow wolves looking at the hellhounds who decided to attack first also started to use their skills.
They all quickly melted in the darkness and then reappeared behind the hell hounds and launched their shadow slashes toward the hell hounds. It was an old but efficient trick to catch your opponent off guard which helped the shadow wolves to kill their opponents efficiently. Needless to say, with everything being covered in darkness, them melting into shadow and appearing behind the foes was much easier and so faster that it almost resembled teleportation!
This was the reason shadow wolves are one of the most feared races of wolves and are the species of wolves that can survive the longest – especially in those areas that are covered in darkness!
That\'s why it was commonly told that Shadow Wolves are almost invincible during nighttime.
HellHounds did this exact mistake – they rushed towards the shadow wolves when the clouds seemingly engulfed the moon, preventing any sort of light from touching the ground.
Well, even Hell Hounds were stronger during nighttime, so it wasn\'t exactly their fault…
So, the one who would be stronger in the night, would emergy victories!
