Chapter 112: Dandelion [2] - Beasts
To be perfectly honest, it was the first time that Liora had ever met a living beast of this world.
Although she had indeed seen—and even eaten—several during her stay in the Black Tulip mansion, all of them were already dead by then.
Therefore, when she arrived before the metal fence, Liora couldn’t help but take a moment to observe the Twilight Wolves, curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Gigantic—this was the first word that popped up in Liora’s mind.
Wolves had always been a surprisingly tall creature, no matter the world they were in. Yet, the Twilight Wolves that Liora was staring at were even larger than usual.
More than three meters in height, they were covered in thick black fur that shone brightly, while their green eyes glistened with brutality, madness, and fierceness.
Liora instantly noticed that drops of fresh crimson blood were flowing out of some of the wolves’ mouths and dripping onto the ground, while deep, gruesome wounds could be found on the bodies of the weakest among them.
Clearly, although they were of the same race, Twilight Wolves were not above fighting—or even feasting upon their companions.
Hearing the fierce growls and the sound of claws colliding with the metal fence as if the wolves inside were trying to break free, Liora remained calm.
After approaching the only opening of the fence, she opened the door and walked inside.
If Baron Bloodshield were here to see this, her actions would have left him stunned.
Even he—the person who had raised these wolves from small cubs—didn’t dare to enter the cage so carelessly.
One simply had to take a look at the cruelty they showed towards their companions, and they would immediately come to understand that Twilight Wolves were not a group of tame, docile beasts.
Yet, as Liora stepped into the cage, the expected attack didn’t arrive.
The moment the Twilight Wolves’ eyes landed on her figure, their fur stood up, and they jumped back as if they were facing a terrifying humanoid beast.
A low growl came out of their mouths as they mustered up the courage and wished to intimidate her.
But when Liora’s gaze wandered through their pack, the growls disappeared.
In just a split second, every sound in the cage ceased to exist. The Twilight Wolves stood silently with their back pressed against the metal fence, staring at Liora with fear and horror.
"It’s said that the senses of animals are often keener than those of humans. The beasts of this world seem to retain this advantage.
