Something flashed across Zhang Tie's mind. Zhang Tie became slightly startled. Yes, before the survival training, he had lost a towel that he had used for wiping sweat in the locker room at school. Zhang Tie hurriedly turned over the towel in his hand. The patterns on the back of the towel and the broken threads immediately matched with the one in his memory.
The mountain cave covered with dead wolves — a litter of wild wolves that had been killed by someone else — the towel that had abruptly appeared in the mountain cave — the towel that he had lost at school — Sharon's sneer at him — Glaze's big feet — the hatred of these wolves toward him — — —
All of a sudden, Zhang Tie understood everything. Glaze's group had first stolen his towel from school, then found this wolf's den in the Wild Wolf Valley, killed all the female wolves and pups, and then left this towel full of Zhang Tie's smell at the scene. Wolves had a very sensitive sense of smell. Following the smell of the towel and the road signs that Glaze's group had left behind, these wild wolves had found Zhang Tie on the grassland.
No wonder he always felt that someone was following him when he returned to the tree house from mining. It was someone from Glaze's group who was investigating his route. The attack of the wild wolf was not an accident, but a deliberate murder with the help of the wild wolf. If it was someone else, Zhang Tie wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed. If it had been someone else, a common soldier who had not advanced to the next level, or even a LV 1 warrior who had advanced to the next level, would have been killed by the sudden attack of seven wild wolves.
Zerom's warning was right. That attack was indeed a plot against him. These wild wolves were looking for him according to the smell of the towel. The first time, they might have thought that he was already dead and left. However, the second time, Pandora and the other girls were washing clothes for him by the stream. Perhaps the stream had brought his smell downstream and attracted the attention of the wolves who were about to drink water. Or perhaps it was due to some other reason that the wolves had noticed his smell, causing them to move closer to the tree house. Pandora and the other two were almost hurt.
After thinking it through, Zhang Tie's heart gradually became cold. He had never imagined that after he had refused Glaze's group's insults and made them suffer a bit, they would try their best to kill him as revenge. They were truly insane. And he almost succeeded.
Zhang Tie immediately realized his mistake. Just like what Donder had warned him, he had almost treated them as human beings. Never imagine your enemy to be as kind as you are.
Zhang Tie dropped the rag and left. With such a piece of rag, he could get it to the Temporary Supervision Committee. First of all, he couldn't prove that the towel belonged to him. Zhang Tie couldn't prove that he had picked up this piece of towel in this wolf cave, nor could he prove that it was left behind by Glaze's group. Neither could he prove that the wolves were killed by Glaze's group. There were too many things that he couldn't prove. If a person came to the Temporary Supervision Committee with a piece of old towel that he had stolen and accused someone of using it to kill him, no matter how you looked at it, it would be stupid. Of course, Zhang Tie didn't want to be treated as a fool. Trials required evidence to convince others, while revenge only required evidence to convince oneself.
After leaving the hillside, Zhang Tie gazed into the distance of the Wild Wolf Valley. Twenty kilometers away from the rolling hills was the border between the Wild Wolf Valley and the Crescent Prairie. According to Blues, Glaze's group was there.
"Glaze, wait for me!" Zhang Tie muttered to himself. He then glanced at the hillside which had solved his mystery once again before walking towards the Crescent Prairie.
— — As a loner who was not very powerful, Blues's experience was that he had to be familiar with the terrain no matter where he went. He had to find a safe place where he could stay and rest at any time. As a loner who owned the Castle of Black Iron and the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree, Zhang Tie concluded that besides being a place where he could rest, the most important thing was to find a place where he could hide, hide, and hide! That way, he could easily access the Castle of Black Iron. He could never let anyone discover the secret of the Castle of Black Iron.
Because of Glaze, Zhang Tie became more eager to improve his strength. He wanted to find a place where he could immediately eat the second Iron-Body Fruit. At the same time, after mining for so many days and storing so much basic energy, Zhang Tie felt that it was time to make a small-scale modification and adjustment to the space and terrain of the Castle of Black Iron. This modification and adjustment would be of greater help to him in his loner's survival training.
What would be a greater help? What did a person need the most in the wild? Without a doubt, it was water! Clean water! If there was a clean water source in the Castle of Black Iron, his survival ability in the wild would be greatly improved. Many things would be much more convenient.
Because the topography of Wild Wolf Valley was in the shape of a trumpet, the farther one was from Wild Wolf Castle, the larger the valley would be, and the wider one's vision would be. Walking towards the Crescent Prairie, Zhang Tie felt that the world was becoming wider and wider. When he passed by the mountain cave where he had taken shelter from the rain yesterday, the width of the two sides of Wild Wolf Valley gave him a feeling that he was in a small basin. According to Blues' suggestion, Zhang Tie explored the valley in an S-shaped route. Although it was a bit time-consuming, it could allow him to quickly familiarize himself with the topography, discover all the resources that could be used in the valley, and easily find a suitable foothold. As long as he found a suitable foothold, he could slowly explore the area within a radius of 5 km from that foothold. As a loner, he should at least be as familiar with the valley as he was with his own backyard. Only by being able to easily kill wild beasts within LV 2 and being familiar with the terrain could loners travel as freely as the wind in the Wild Wolf Valley.
