Chapter 328



328 Leading A Wolf Into The House

Selma Payne’s POV:

I asked Dorothy to lead a team of warriors to support Aldrich, who had gone to chase after the wanderers, while Master Kevin and I would deal with this mess that could pollute more people if we were not careful. I kept all the warriors who had come into contact with the orphans in case they were accidentally contaminated with the evil power concentrate and fell into madness. Fortunately, the soldiers were experienced and took the necessary precautions meticulously regardless of the situation. Therefore, they did not see any signs of anyone being contaminated.

There was no way to clean up the remaining concentrate on the ground. As I watched the soldiers carefully divide the quarantine zone, I suddenly had a strange idea – why not try it out in New Flow?

Speaking of which, ever since I woke up from my deep sleep, I hadn’t used the power of New Flow other than to summon the black-gold moths to treat the injuries of my family members. My life had been really peaceful, and I hadn’t encountered any life-and-death situations. However, New Flow’s basic attribute was devouring. I’d even devoured Azazel before. Although it was only an incarnation in the human world, what was there to be afraid of from other demons?

I immediately ordered everyone to leave the quarantine area and wrap the pollution source in the river from the inside out. Then, I tried to absorb the remaining concentrate on the ground.

It was a success!

Although it didn’t taste too good, as if I was drinking boiling seawater – hot, bitter, salty, and astringent – I was happy enough that I was able to solve my problem successfully.

If the sources of contamination on the ground could be dealt with, could the contaminated people also be purified through the river?

I first let the strong warriors try it out, and as expected, I found an evil power hidden in the corners of their bodies. There were no side effects to the warriors purified by New Flow, which meant I could use the same method on the orphans without any worry.

The evil power that had invaded the orphan was more energetic and dangerous. When it sensed the arrival of New Flow, it immediately controlled the orphans and made them struggle. It was a pity that their last-ditch efforts were useless, and I only spent a little effort to get rid of them. The purified orphans woke up in a few seconds. Some began to cry out loud because of the pain, while some fainted – it was painful.

I was afraid there would be an unknown reaction to the evil power, so I didn’t immediately treat the orphans. Now, I didn’t have any concerns. However, physical healing injuries could not solve everything. Obviously, these skinny children had been suffering from long-term starvation, intimidation, and other abuse. They were all skinny and withered and needed immediate medical intervention.

I sent a team of soldiers to escort the orphans to the temporary settlement. I would lead the rest to meet up with Aldrich and Dorothy.

On the way, I received a call from the Lycan pack. They had yet to find a way to solve the problem of being contaminated by evil energy. I told them I’d solved the problem here, and they were happy to give me new information.

“A minute ago, we received a distress signal from the elven territory.” My father said, “An unknown force has attacked a few elven city-states near our territory. The other party can use a powerful evil force to pollute the elves. In just a few hours, a few city-states have already fallen.”

“Pollution?” I keenly caught the key information. “Do you think the people who attacked the elven city will likely have this evil power concentrate we encountered today?”

“Not only that, but I now suspect that the attackers are likely to be the remnant forces of the wanderers scattered outside. They have hit walls everywhere in the werewolf territory, so they have no choice but to look for a breakthrough outside. The elves have always been wary and contemptuous of other races. A little trick can mislead the elves’ investigation, and they might even lead the wolf into the house.”

“No wonder they could take down a city in just a few hours.”

Thinking about Kaya’s behavior of capturing everyone regardless of their background, if the elven patrol team were like this, then it would be expected to invite a wolf into the house.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Since the other party has sent a request for help, we can’t just sit by and do nothing. Moreover, the main culprits are the wanderers. Although they are a group of exiled or defected criminals, we’re all one in the eyes of the other races. If we don’t care about it, it’s easy for us to be investigated and held accountable, and it’ll be even more troublesome.”

My father was also quite helpless about this situation. “In short, your main task now is to complete the task of hunting down the remnants of the wanderers. As for the elves, you have to save them, but you can’t lose the big picture for the small. We should solve our problems first.”

“I understand.”

Before one wave settled, another wave rose. The piles stacked up, making my return journey even more distant. Fatigue and uneasiness caused me to uncontrollably become irascible.

Running in the wind and rain, I thought, ‘You like demons? You like evil sacrifices? After capturing the remnants of the wanderers, I will drain their blood and offer them to Leviathan. Presumably, these ‘loyal believers’ would be proud to sacrifice themselves to serve their master, right?’
