Bride of the Werewolf - The Substitute Wife

008 Werewolf Castle

Zona looked at the little boar and then at the darkness shrouding the tree, she hesitated for a moment but held out the freshly popped chestnuts from the fire, she tasted them, they were delicious!

She walked over to the platform of the treehouse, still as she had done last time, and wrapped the hot, cooked chestnuts in a large leaf and placed them on the board, "Try this, this is delicious."

After hesitating for a moment, or without saying more, she descended the ladder step by step.

When she turned back again, she saw that this time the man hadn't just disappeared with the stuff, but was sitting on the platform of the treehouse, discreetly sniffing the pile of ripe fruit.

Zona was reassured when she went under the tree and began to sit by the warmth of the hearth, eating her carefully prepared dinner, still unseasoned, but the mushrooms and watercress eliminated the slight meaty flavor and also inspired the aroma of the venison.

She served up some of the slightly milky broth and took a sip, hot and filling and satisfying.

When she had finished her meal, she looked up but saw that the man on the platform was still there, the moonlight filtering through the branches of the trees and shining down on Varg, making it seem as if the ferocious beast of the day was somewhat subdued at the moment.

It was only through the moonlight that Zona could see that the man with the golden eyes was still studying the chestnuts. His large, sinewy palms cupped one and flipped it back and forth as he observed it; no one in their tribe roasted the things to eat, and he doubted that they were actually tasty when cooked this way, so he never tasted them.

Zona scratched her head and peeled some more chestnuts from the stove, taking a few for herself and walking up the rattan ladder. But instead of ascending the platform, she stood on the ladder below it.

Varg raised his eyes to look at her, and saw Zona pinching the ebony object, her slender fingers deftly peeling off the hard outer skin, revealing the yellow-orange fruit inside, and stuffing a bite into her mouth in front of his face, squinting and chewing happily, "Roasted chestnuts are eaten like this."

Varg c****d his head at Zona and squinted as well, but raised his hand and threw the chestnut directly into his mouth, "crunching" and chewing it, eating the flesh and spitting out the hard skin as it was chewed.

"What a pain in the ass, I'm still getting used to eating it this way."

He looked up to see Zona staring in amazement, then without a word, she went down the wooden stairs kicking and screaming, ignoring him.

Varg, however, pulled the corner of his mouth and threw another chestnut into his mouth.

Not to mention, it was quite tasty.

It was nighttime in the mountains.

Zona dismantled the small tent under the tree, and moved it to the earthen stove to re-establish it, and dug the mouth of the fire of the earthen stove lower and wider, and then blocked the mouth of the fire and erected the small tent, and blocked the windbreak on the other side of the tent with a deerskin, and then used the new and thick sheepskin to spread on the floor of the mouth of the fire of the stove.

Only the sheepskin and deerskin are dry, because it has not been nitrated, shrinking into a hard piece, it seems that tomorrow, in addition to pick up the chestnuts scattered outside, but also to knead the skin, soft to keep warm.

By the light of the fire in the stove, and at the time when the ground outside was beginning to frost, Zona had at last done the work inside and outside the little tent. This way, the tent was surrounded by earthen walls to keep out the wind, and the fire in the stove was diligently refueled to keep it going all night.

She hunkered down in the warmth of the small space, the warmth of the stove fire roasting her even more sleepy, and so it was that she fell into a warm, snoozy sleep in the middle of a cold winter's day.

This time Zona was at ease, not thinking about what to do if there was a beast in the middle of the night.

Because she knew that the man with the golden eyes was in the tree house at the head of the small tent, and he was so scary and heart-stopping, how could the beasts dare to come near it ...

Vertical morning, the small tent is still warm, Zona woke up, not panicked, rolled up the sheepskin before coming out, but suddenly felt around shook a few times, she reacted at once, it seems to be an earthquake!

She was only lightly shaken here, but vaguely heard a burst of animal calls from the distance, Zona was a bit panicked, she shouted towards the tree, "Hey, Golden Eyes!"

The swish of friction between the dense branches of the ancient tree swayed, and she did not get an echo.

Zona stood still and hesitated, but all around her were the sounds of small animals stirring, a few mountain chickens swooping and flying over, then turning their eyes and flying away in panic, and the cries of wild boars and the like.

Zona gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, but she took her bone knife and ran out into the forest to look for him. The terrain around her was getting more and more complicated, it was no longer the usual tree house piece, all thick and tall old trees, but it was becoming mostly weeds and thorns, the trees were low but dense, and she had already scratched her calves and arms in a few places.

Zona didn't know what to do, she only shouted a few times for Golden Eyes, but she never received a response, but she saw a few foxes that were in a hurry to escape.Zona frowned, there are too many animals in this area, it's inevitable that there aren't any beasts, she might become someone else's meal before finding Golden Eyes.Zona was worried about the situation, but she decided to go back to the tree house first. She was deciding that she would return to the tree house first.

Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound in the bushes beside the road she had come from. She was very nervous about what kind of wild beasts were running around, so she pressed herself against a clump of thorns and put her bone knife across her chest.

Zona was worried, but she saw the grass moving halfway, and two green wolf heads emerged, that familiar sneaky and cunning look, it was the two sentinel wolves she recognized when she first arrived at the top of the mountain.

Zona approached cautiously and asked somewhat hopefully, "Do you guys know where Goldeneye ran off to." She felt that Golden Eyes could understand human language as well as speak, so this wild wolf might not not be unable to understand either.

The two lesser wolves glanced at each other, and one of the green wolves then, without saying a word, arched its wolf body, which was half a man tall, towards Zona, immediately arching Zona down onto itself. Then one wolf explored the path, biting away the panicked beasts that blocked the way, while the other wolf carried the skinny Zona and ran forward with a "whoosh".

Zona didn't react for only a moment, and then she was on the back of the wolf, not knowing the direction of the fast forward traveling. She did not see much fear in her heart, these two wolves she knows is to listen to the words of the Golden Eyes, since there is a spirit, they should not be malicious to themselves.

Zona was afraid of falling, so she adjusted her posture, her arm around the wolf's neck, her legs clamped the wolf's belly, and she could clearly feel the movement of the wolf's body muscle lines as it ran.Zona sighed with emotion, the wonders of nature's creations, and she praised these wild creatures!

And the wild life was warm and furry too.

The coyote glanced back at Zona and, figuring she wasn't going to fall, began to speed up.

Zona only felt the trees on both sides of the forest "whooshing" back, and in a flash, out of the thorny area of the difficult path, to the extremely clear and orderly vegetation of the woods, but the slope is a little too steep, is an upward slope, Coyote slowed down, climbed up.

It didn't take long to run over the ridge of the slope, and the terrain sloped downward. There was even a path in this forest, a trail that the animals had sought out for a long time. The two wolves, familiar with the layout of the forest, were faster.

Zona could only tighten her grip on the green wolf's neck, and as she tensed, her arms strangled a little too tightly, and the green wolf stretched its head forward, cavorting and coughing a few times, and shaking its neck.

Zona hurriedly loosened her force, only able to clamp down some of the wolf's stomach, and hurriedly apologized, "Sorry sorry sorry, first time, not very good at riding."

Finally out of the steep forest, Zona's eyes opened up!

This is a piece of flat depression that relies on mountains and forests on three sides, and in the center of the depression is a wide blue pool of water, which reflects the blue sky and white clouds, constantly steaming hot air outward, a hot spring water.

Next to the pool, there is a very rich and magnificent palace standing in the depths of the forest, like a giant falcon: tall, simple, gorgeous, high roof tip as if to insert the clouds, which is a small village in the mountains growing up Zona has never seen.

And what makes Zona even more palpitating is that around this hot spring, there are some men and women who are as tall as Varg, wearing clothes made of animal furs, and all of them are staring at Zona who suddenly appeared ...

Zona choked, her body instantly froze, she just wanted to find golden eyes, did not expect that there were other people living in the forest ...

The crowd all looked at her cautiously and dangerously, Zona two green wolves also wimped out at this time, their own status in the pack is not high, due to the young and lack of ability, they can not master the freedom to transform from the wolf and the human, they can only rely on the power of the moon, so they can only put Zona down and crouch low on the ground.

Zona had no choice but to stand nervously next to the two cygnets, her legs trembling a little.

At this time, a tan skinned tall beautiful woman walked towards her, wearing a fur skirt and short shirt, which is difficult to hide her hot body, her goose egg face, deep eyes contain a smile, gently hooked up the corner of the lips and let a person feel that she is mysterious, she slowly paced to the Zona's eyes and politely reached out to take her hand, "Don't be afraid, 'Bride of the Wolf God', we mean no harm'"

Zona noticed that her eyes were watery blue, as if they were deep oceans, then the woman moved closer to sniff her again, which made Zona suddenly shy, and when she was done sniffing, she circled Zona twice more, then took her shoulders in both hands, and said intimately, "I am Sandra, Queen of the Wolf Lords, and sister to Varg, and you are welcome to all of us. "

"Varg?" Zona was just about to question the name when she felt the ground shaking slightly, not like an earthquake, but like a thousand armies stepping and attacking together, the vibration became more and more violent, causing her to nearly fall without standing, luckily Sandra's strong arms pulled her down in a flash, "Watch out!"

Then Sandra's beastly eyes like Varg's suddenly became serious, "They're coming," then she instructed the two green wolves at Zona's side, "Protect the bride."

Then she suddenly leapt up to the sky and turned into a white wolf, at this time the other men and women in the hot springs also transformed one after another, they formed a wolf pack under the leadership of the white wolf Sandra turned into, suddenly ran towards the mountain beams, leaving behind Zona and the two green wolves beside her.

Zona froze, she suddenly thought, that man with golden eyes is not a wolf, right? But she didn't have the time to think about this matter, she patted the green wolf next to her, the green wolf understood, so it carried her again and ran forward as well.

Following the wolves, Zona stood on the snow-covered ridge, but immediately drew a breath of cold air!

Looking down, there was an open grassland covered with winter snow, extremely wide, with some turf still green.

Shockingly, not far away, there is a large herd of bison, galloping towards the wolves on this side of the hillside, the bison group is followed by some other scattered deer and horses.

Although the number of wolves in front of her was no less than three to five hundred, but if she was rushed by that group of dark animals, she would only be killed or injured.

Zona was extremely afraid, but for some reason, the wolves only made a defense posture, but did not move to escape, all blocked at the mountain beam, the pupils of the beasts were resolute.

Suddenly, she heard a powerful wolf howl from the frightened bison herd, "Oh woo!"

The wolves heard it and responded, the howl of the beasts on the mountain beam echoed through the mountains and forests, the herd of startled and frantic animals hesitated slightly, but were still led at a gallop by the panicked leader.

Zona was in the midst of them, and at the moment she felt both the human fear of the beasts and the pang of admiration from the bottom of her heart.

But in the midst of the howls of the wolves and the hoofbeats of the beasts, Zona was surprised to see a sturdy figure leaping amongst the terrified beasts.

The figure rode a white wolf as tall and strong as a calf, and with one foot on the back of the wolf, flew to the back of the herd of bison, constantly rising and falling in the raging tide of beasts, and found a giant buffalo that was leading the way, and straddled its neck.

The buffalo landed and flung itself around, immediately knocking over the herd next to it, and the fallen bison was instantly trampled into bloody sludge by the army of beasts, and Zona's teeth chattered as she watched.

Goldeneye he is actually fighting the bulls, isn't he afraid to die!
