“Granny Wolf…”
Rod walked towards the dying werewolf.
Unlike the fairytale, it wasn’t the werewolf who ate the granny.
Instead, the granny turned into the werewolf.
An ordinary old woman transformed into a terrifying werewolf overnight.
Therefore, the werewolves in the forest were most likely ordinary people who had been transformed.
And the mastermind behind all this was clearly this “Granny Wolf”.
Bits and pieces of information pieced together in his mind, forming a complete storyline.
Three years ago, Granny Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood came to this village.
Through some special means, they turned ordinary people into werewolves, creating panic.
Granny created the werewolves, while Little Red Riding Hood acted as a lure to entice passersby.
They lured travelers into the forest to become Granny's prey.
As for the role the village head played, it should be something like a leader and collaborator.
The entire village was a flock of sheep raised by Granny Wolf, and the village head was responsible for calming these sheep, making the villagers obedient.
He could enter and exit the village freely, using resources from the outside world to extort money from the villagers.
As for the priest, he was just an accident.
He learned the village head's secret, so in exchange, he received some methods to deal with werewolves from the village head.
Then, using his identity as a priest and the villagers' reverence for him.
He used the name of God's will to deceive the villagers, satisfying his own desires.
However, it was clear that Granny Wolf had deceived the village head.
Silverware can indeed cause fatal damage to werewolves, but they don't fear flames.
They didn't attack the village because someone was restraining them.
Granny Wolf had been using the village head from the very beginning.
When the village head and these villagers lost their value, their only fate would be to become werewolf dinners.
“Can’t waste this.”
Ordinary werewolves could boost his strength, let alone this special one.
Even if only the corpse remained, it was of great value.
Rod slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it on Granny Wolf's head.
Sacrifice!
As the werewolf’s flesh and bones were gradually decomposed and disappeared, Rod instantly felt his inner power surge.
His blood was surging, his heart racing.
His werewolf body began to twist and deform.
“Hiss!”
Rod was drenched in cold sweat, feeling like all the bones and muscles in his body were shifting and deforming.
The transformation process lasted for three minutes. As the pain subsided, his vision had changed.
Rod lowered his head and looked at his hands. His hands and feet had completely transformed into the fore and hind limbs of a wolf.
His current physique was even more exaggerated than when he was a werewolf.
Just his height alone was nearly four to five meters tall.
The three-meter-tall wooden house looked as small as a dwarf's room in his eyes.
Whoosh!
He swung his hand, unleashing a violent gust of wind.
The raw power directly blew the roof off.
This strength was not even in the same league as before.
In the giant wolf form, strength, defense, recovery, and explosiveness would all increase exponentially.
However, as a price, agility and dodging ability would be reduced.
After all, such a large physique made it a sitting duck.
Rod suppressed his inner animalistic nature, and his body slowly returned to its normal human form.
“A good haul!”
Rod was pleased.
He had sacrificed Granny Wolf, not only unlocking the giant wolf form, but also enhancing his normal physique.
Even without transforming into a werewolf, his strength was now comparable to his previous transformed self.
Aside from that, he had also gained a special skill.
Alchemy!
Through the combination of drugs and magic, using mana to extract and combine the essence of the drugs, creating powerful potions.
Different potions have different effects.
And werewolves were dark creatures created by the Wolf Venom Potion.
Rod closed his eyes, and the formula for the Wolf Venom Potion appeared in his mind.
“Wolf Venom Potion, Formula: Moonlight Dew, Wolfheart Grass, Shadow Fruit, Silver Wolf Blood, Pure Water...”
“On the night of the full moon, place Moonlight Dew, Wolfheart Grass, Shadow Fruit, and Silver Wolf Blood into a silver container. Heat it with pure fire while chanting an ancient secret incantation to allow the ingredients to fuse together.”
“When the mixture starts to bubble and emit a faint silver glow, quickly extinguish the fire and add pure water to cool the potion.”
“Once the potion has completely cooled, pour it into a wolfskin potion bottle, seal it, and take it on the night of the full moon. There is a chance to awaken werewolf bloodline.”
The werewolves he encountered before were obviously werewolves who awakened after taking the Wolf Venom Potion.
However, the Wolf Venom Potion had serious side effects.
Even if you successfully awaken your werewolf bloodline, there is a high probability of turning into a mindless beast.
Only a small number of people can retain their sanity after becoming werewolves, but they will be controlled by the maker of the potion.
They must take the potion on time to remain conscious.
Otherwise, they will become mindless beasts like the other werewolves.
The potion Granny Wolf took was obviously a modified Wolf Venom Potion.
Not only was it stronger than ordinary werewolves, but it could even trigger a second stage of transformation.
“Since they were modified into werewolves here, there should be a place for configuring potions.”
Rod walked into the wooden house and put the unconscious Little Red Riding Hood into his dimensional space.
After some searching, he found a secret room under the floorboards.
