Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 89 Lost In The Land Of Lost Ones

"And that was how I lost my parents, killed my own sister, and in the end died while being branded as a criminal...", was what Shin said to himself.

"Ya, that boy was me..."

"..."

"Not again..."

"I don't want to lose again..."

"I don't want to lose as I did in my previous life...", was what he said to himself.

Well, his bond with Aela was quite great perhaps, not to mention, he considered her as his own sister!

"..."

He continued to shed tears for a while because of the grief and sorrow that he was feeling just by imagining that something wrong might have happened.

"..."

But then soon enough he realized that just sitting and crying here won't do any good, he had to run and search for Aella.

That was because of the stat that displayed that she was alright.

[ The First Vessel: Active ]

This meant that she was fine and alive, at least that's what he understood.

Well, he had no idea about the path that he had to take. Of course, he thought for a few minutes and figured out something.

"Ah..."

"Why don't I just try to smell them?", he asked himself.

It was a good idea that he thought about.

Wolves have a great sense of smell, it is about a hundred times greater than humans so they could easily pinpoint or find each other even when a storm blows by near them!

It was a technique used by them to even detect their territories, well, they were indeed smart so they could identify the places, but in case there was some abnormality, they could use their great sense of smell to detect whatever they wanted if once smelled earlier!

"I remember Aella's smell, but it has been spread out in the area and many other places that it is difficult to track her...", he said in a low voice.

So he had to think of some other alternative such as detecting the smell that could lead him directly to the humans.

He turned his head here and there while thinking when suddenly his gazes stopped at a dead man's body.

"Wait..."

"Can't I just follow the scent of the humans?", he asked.

Indeed, not many humans came to the forest, to be precise, a human would visit the forest once in ten years or so.

Therefore, he wouldn't find any problem if he were to follow their scent since it would be in only one direction, the direction from which they had come initially.

He immediately rushed towards the dead body and started to smell it and memorize it.

*sniff sniff*

It took him seconds to memorize the smell of the person right after which, he turned his attention towards the den and tried to detect the smell.

In an instant, he was able to detect the human scent, of course, a bit different from the ones lying here.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

-> Your speed is raised by 100%

-> Dexterity of the limbs is increased by 50%

-> Fatigue will start to get accumulated by 0.05 per second.

-> Skill will get deactivated automatically the moment fatigue reaches 20

He ran as fast as he could, well, he thought about using the Wind Run too because his speed would be increased tremendously, however even before he got the chance to use it, he was forced to stop.

Yes, his run was halted and that was because of the sixth sense that warned him.

"The land of lost ones?", he had arrived near the entrance of the area.

To be precise, he was just a meter away from the land. Well, mana in nature isn't stationary, it always tends to move.

The mana in the Land of lost ones is no exception, it also moves, but it moves quite slowly because of the high intensity and density!

"I can't detect their scent anymore..."

"It's as if it never existed in the first place...", his eyes were shaky and his body started to tremble.

"The scent is only still here..."

"Don't tell me..."

,m "Don't tell me that those foolish humans entered the Land of lost ones by mistake?", he said to himself.

Of course, he could even see slight footmarks and the horseshoe marks on the ground which disappeared right after entering the said area.

*gulp*

He was nervous. He tried to take a look if they had taken any other route, but he could find none.

'This is weird...'

"..."

"There should be some marks left behind, at least I should be able to smell the route which they took to come here..."

"But there is nothing like that..."

"It's as if they just teleported here...", he said to himself.

Since the humans had entered the land of lost ones right after entering the first, it could be said that their scent had vanished.

Needless to say, due to that, he couldn't find the way which they took, of course, he could never imagine that they were able to easily get out of the Land of lost ones!

"..."

'What do I do?'

"I thought I could find Aella if I could follow the scent, but this method failed too!"

He thought about entering the Land of lost Ones. Well, the place was made up of mana of high density due to which Wind type of attacks would be useful.

One could blow the mana away causing the Area to turn into normal, but no one had any idea that the land was created due to Mana.

Shin thought that he could use the system's navigation technique to locate Aella, but it seemed like that too failed.

[ Specified target cannot be found ]

That was the response of the system when Shin asked to detect, well, that didn't mean that she was dead. It just meant that the system failed to find her.

"I should have expected this much...", Shin said in a low voice.

Since Aella and all the humans had entered the land, their presence had been erased which meant any type of detection spell wouldn't work. Probably that's why many couldn't get out of such laces.

And that eas why those areas were known as danger zones!

"Argh..."

"Fine!"

"I don't care what happens!", right after saying this, he entered the Land in order to find Aella.

Was it because of the deep bond between her and him? It could be, but entering the land while knowing that it could be his graveyard was just foolishness.

Just what had happened this past year that made him so attached to her? Well, that was a story for some other time, for now, the bottom line was that Shin had entered the Land of lost ones in search of Aella.

"What's this...", it was foggy, indeed, he could hardly see anything in front of him.

Even if he turned his head here and there while trying to see if he could spot any places, he still couldn't see anything.

The humans would have no problem since they had that magic tool, Wendy had at least and everyone followed his lead.

They soon got out of the place and even exited the forest without a problem, however, Shin failed to even decide which way to go!

He wasn't even sure in the first place that they had entered the said land, he just assumed because he couldn't smell them.

Did that mean that he trusted his sense of smell more than his intelligence? Maybe, but it was the sense of self-sacrifice and guilt of his past life that allowed him to enter without any hesitation.

"Damn it, when I can't even see anything, how would I even know where to go?", he asked himself.

"..."

"Was entering this a bad idea?"

"Maybe I should head out and summon 'Him', and ask help from him..."

"But I'm not sure what he will ask in return this time...", Shin sighed.

He turned back so in order to get put when suddenly he found the place filled with fog too. In fact, he could no longer tell which path he had taken to enter the area.

"Did I enter from this side...?"

"Or this side?"

"..."

Finally and successfully, he was lost in the Land of Lost Ones while attempting to find Aella and those humans whom he suspected to have messed up his and hers sweet time!

Who knows when he will get out of the area, but once he does, it's probably the end for those humans who had taken Aella with them!

"..."

To be continued...
