Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Mu Xue didn't even bother to think about her own house as she ran frantically toward the distance. As she ran, she shouted to those around her to evacuate quickly. After running for a distance, she looked back and saw that the red wolf hadn't caught up with her. She felt a little relieved. Then, she quickly closed her eyes and frantically called out to her sister, Mu Xue.

Not long after, Mu Xue emerged. She pulled a bow and the mysterious arrow from her dimensional necklace, found a suitable position, and began aiming at the red wolf, ready to fire. Mu Xue had already successfully illuminated the ninth star, her strength now exponentially greater than it had been at the beginning. With her weapon in hand, defeating the red wolf was a piece of cake: a single arrow was all it took!

With a sharp eye, Mu Xue precisely located the optimal shooting angle. She pulled the bowstring tightly, gripping the arrow's tail tightly. When the moment was right, she decisively released her fingers. In an instant, a brilliant streak of silver light streaked across the sky, accurately striking the red wolf. The wolf screamed and collapsed to the ground. With a gentle wave of her hand, Mu Xue's bow and arrow automatically flew back into her grasp. To ensure she had no further luck, she fired several more arrows, confirming the wolf's stillness before reassuring herself to investigate.

She kept the bow fully drawn at all times and when she got closer she saw several holes in the red wolf's body. It was obvious that Mu Xue had shot them.

Thanks to Mu Xue's timely intervention and Mu Xue's alerting the residents as she escaped, the red wolf did not harm anyone, only causing minor damage to nearby buildings. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and after all, damaged houses can be rebuilt.

After a short while, Mu Xue transformed back into Mu Xue. Witnessing this horrific scene, she felt compelled to explain: "This monster is the product of a cursed individual. The early symptoms are the growth of wolf-like fur. If you know anyone like this, please be on the lookout!" Mu Xue explained in detail, and everyone subconsciously scrutinized their own fur, fearing they might become like this. Only after confirming theirs was intact did they breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps some worried that the monster would harm their loved ones, or perhaps they feared becoming something neither human nor ghost.

After a while, Lin Mo returned home, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned. "Oh my god! Where is my home? I just went to school, how come my home is gone!?" He looked around in confusion, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness. Suddenly, he turned his head and found Mu Xue squatting beside him, concentrating on observing a small insect. He rushed over and asked what happened. "Xue'er, what's going on? Why is our home gone!?"

Mu Xue looked up when she heard Lin Mo's voice, her eyes filled with fear and tears. She quickly threw herself into Lin Mo's arms, hugged him tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother! You are finally back! You don't know how scared I was! It was the man who lived in our house before, he turned into a red wolf! Fortunately, I ran fast enough, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" As she spoke, she pointed to the corpse of the red wolf on the ground next to her, "You almost never saw me again, wuwuwu..."

Lin Mo looked at his sister, feeling helpless and distressed. From the several large holes on the Red Demon Wolf's body, it could be seen that it had not caused any harm to Mu Xue. But who made her his most beloved sister? He could only smile dotingly and comfort her: "It's okay, brother is back, don't worry." Lin Mo patted Mu Xue's back and comforted her: "Okay, don't cry, it's all right. We can build a new house if it's gone, as long as you're okay."

Mu Xue said with tears in her eyes: "But everything in our house was destroyed by that monster..."

Lin Mo wiped away the tears from the corners of Mu Xue's eyes and said, "It's okay. The most important thing is that everyone is safe. Let's find a place to stay first, and then think about what to do next."

Lin Mo took Mu Xue out of the ruins and found a vacant house to temporarily live in. On the way, they met other people, who expressed their gratitude to Mu Xue and praised her bravery and wit.

However, Lin Mo felt a subtle unease. He felt that this disaster wasn't just a mutated red wolf; there might be a greater danger hidden behind it. He decided to report this to the academy immediately. After all, the academy was also responsible for protecting the safety of the nearby residents, including Mu Xue and the village.

Lin Mo patted Mu Xue's back gently, soothing her emotions. "Okay, don't cry, everything is over. If the house is gone, we can build another one."

He looked at the corpse of the Red Wolf on the ground, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "However, we must find out what exactly happened. Why did that person turn into a Red Wolf?"

The next day, Lin Mo came to the academy and told Master Ziyuan about this. Ziyue frowned after hearing this and said, "I will tell the academy about this. Please don't act rashly. If necessary, the academy will take action personally."

Lin Mo had no choice but to give up after hearing this. However, in the afternoon, Zi Yuan found him and told him, "The academy has specially entrusted you with the task of investigating this matter. Please do your best, little brother Mo."

A few days later, Lin Mo asked around in the town, looking for clues. After some effort, he finally found some legends about the Red Devil Wolf.

It is said that a long time ago, there was a witch from the evil Red Wolf group. She would capture people into her lair and cast a curse on them. The curse would make those people suffer terribly, and under certain conditions, some people would turn into terrible Red Wolfs.

But they also found another legend. The legend is: There is a place on the mountain northwest of the north side of the town. It is very hidden. It is rumored that a man in the town accidentally broke into there before. When he came back, he only lost his memory of what he had experienced there, but since that day he has never gone out. Some people said that he was afraid of the sun, and some people said that he had some shameful secret. Later, someone went to his house to find him, and no one knew what the two said. The man suddenly turned into a red wolf and killed his friend, then fled into the mountains and never came out again. After that, some people said that he was dead, and some people said that he didn't want to hurt his friend and chopped himself up.

So Lin Mo prepared to go up the mountain to find out what was going on, but Mu Xue was worried about him going alone, so she insisted on going with him. Of course, Lin Mo refused to let her go for Michelle's safety, so he refused. But Mu Xue said, "If you don't let me go, then I won't let you go either. If you want to go, you have to take me with you!" Seeing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to agree.

When the two reached the edge of the forest, they discovered that it was truly terrifying! The trees were densely packed, and the weeds were overgrown. Lin Mo and Mu Xue cautiously entered the forest. Suddenly, a crow flew by, uttering a shrill cry. Mu Xue was so frightened that she clutched Lin Mo's arm tightly.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Mo comforted softly, "I'm here."

As they continued forward, a foul smell filled the air. Lin Mo frowned and looked around warily.

As they walked, they found a dilapidated little house in front of them. The door was half-open, revealing a strange atmosphere.

"Why don't we go in and take a look?" Mu Xue suggested.

Lin Mo nodded, tightened his grip on the sword, and pushed open the door. The room was covered in dust, with strange symbols hanging on the walls.
