The dozen or so black wolves became headless, and the blade was bathed in red blood. However, it seemed that Wu Jingguo still wasn’t satisfied, and he stepped on one of the wolf heads that was rolling on the ground.
He recognized this head, the one with the big mouth that kept trying to offend him before. The anger in his heart remained even after killing the pack of wolves, and that was why he gathered all of his strength into his feet as he crushed the head under his feet.
The skull cracked, red blood flowed more and more, and the brain was even exposed after the Crown Prince of Wu Li completely crushed the head without mercy.
Finally, he felt better after getting rid of the ugly head, and he took a deep breath before shoving Feng Fei into the scabbard once more, not caring about the red blood still covering the blade. Without a word, he once again put down the weapon at his waist before he set his sights to look around him.
“These loathsome wolves suddenly appeared when I reached this area, so I believe they are trying to protect something here,” Wu Jingguo muttered to himself as he realized the possibility.
.....
He had been trying to find the place where his brother was being held, but he still couldn’t find it. However, judging from how the black werewolf had suddenly tried to block his steps when he arrived at this area, Wu Jingguo had somehow assumed that his brother was probably close to where he was standing.
As he shifted his gaze to scan his surroundings, he realized that he was in a fairly deserted area, and there were only two pavilions in the area. One was bigger than the other, but somehow it looked dark and gloomy.
Combined with how the black werewolves deliberately guarded this area, Wu Jingguo felt that he had found the place where his brother was being held captive. However, before he brought his feet to approach the pavilion, he once again glanced at the ground beneath him where he crushed the wolf’s head just now.
“You said that my brother might not want to return to Wu Li, right? You might think that your words would make me hesitate and decide to leave my brother, but you are completely wrong. I believe my brother would never join forces with an ugly being like you.”
The wolf had died, but Wu Jingguo looked like he wanted to kill him a second time as if killing him once wasn’t enough for him. But then he realized that doing something like that would just be a waste of his time, and that was why he was able to take a deep breath before walking towards the big pavilion.
His steps were light and unhurried, but he didn’t need to walk long since he had arrived in front of the pavilion door by now. He could see the chain along with the lock on the door, and Wu Jingguo was more certain that the ugly wolf was trying to hide something inside the pavilion.
Perhaps his combat ability couldn’t be compared to his older brother, but Wu Jingguo had always been confident in his strength. Just like how he used his feet to smash the wolf’s head before, this time he used his hand to crush the door lock, and he was able to open the pavilion door immediately.
The inside of the pavilion was dark. He wasn’t a werewolf like Bai Chen, and he wasn’t a demon like Yu Ming either. Thankfully, the light that penetrated the pavilion after he opened the door was enough to help him, and that was why he carefully brought his feet to enter the building.
The inside of the building was so quiet, but then he felt that something was strange here. He felt how his shoes became damp as he continued walking, and he realized that it was no longer the wooden floor under his shoes, but rather a stone floor.
He was now quite far from the entrance, and that was why the light he could see in that place was very limited. When he moved his hand to touch the wall next to him, he could feel that it was not a wooden wall either, but a stone wall as well.
“It really is a prison,” Wu Jingguo muttered to himself. “On the outside, this place looks like an ordinary pavilion, but it’s actually a prison surrounded by stones. Sure enough, this kind of prison is more suitable for werewolves as some of them are strong enough to crush wood.”
Wu Jingguo stopped walking for a moment as he tried to analyze the situation, but then he continued walking before he heard something moving not far from his position. Perhaps it was a person who was previously lying on the ground trying to sit up, and when Wu Jingguo noticed that possibility, he immediately stepped toward the source of the sound.
The inside of the prison was dark because there were no windows there, but Wu Jingguo managed to see a pair of golden points from a place not far from him, and he finally stopped walking when he reached that place.
“Gege!” He excitedly shouted as he stopped walking in front of the iron bars blocking him from the person sitting on the ground who was none other than his brother, Wu Jinhai.
Wu Jinhai was indeed held in prison, and his appearance also looked very messy and pale. A pair of golden eyes shone in the darkness, but Wu Jingguo knew that his brother was still very weak at this time.
“What are you doing here?” Weakly, Wu Jinhai asked the younger man.
He sat on the ground while leaning his back against the stone wall, and his golden eyes trembled slightly even if he tried to focus them on the younger man.
“I’m here to save you, gege! I was worried about you, and that’s why I immediately tried to find—”
“I don’t need your help!” Wu Jinhai suddenly cut off Wu Jingguo’s answer coldly, and his pair of golden eyes also kept glaring at the younger man hatefully. “Did you think I would die in this place if you didn’t come to save me? Don’t be so naive. Did you think I would return to Wu Li with you just because you came to save me?”
