Antigonus saw Circe's every move.
He smiled to himself at the sight of her hiding not far away, and pretended not to know anything as he stood there waiting. Since she was trying to test him, he would have some fun with her.
Just then, a growl blared from deep in the woods. Antigonus turned to look and saw two enormous figures charging over at the speed of lightning.
They were, of course, the Wind Spirit Wolves.
The Wind Spirit Wolves were the most commonly-sighted creatures in the Nine Continents, often living in packs. They were about ten to fifteen meters long, and their powers were around the Martial Saint level.
The two wolves were a whopping thirty meters long, covered in white fur that was soft as silk. Their eyes glinted murderously like silver knives, and they radiated a murderous aura. Their powers were in the Heaven Ascension stage.
The Langes kept these wolves as pets for almost a hundred years, and their powers were far stronger than others of their kind.
Just then, the wolves' gazes zeroed in on Antigonus. They let out a series of howls, charging forward as they pounced with their razor-sharp claws.
Their paws slashed through the air, emitting blue sparks that enveloped the area within a hundred-meter radius of them with lightning bolts. Anyone struck by the bolts were sure to be fatally wounded, and anyone else would have panicked instantly.
Antigonus was hardly afraid, but he put on a fearful expression just to put on a show for Circe as she pretended to turn and run.
Of course, Antigonus did not summon his Fiend soul energy as he escaped.
Whew!
Circe's expression grew solemn at the sight. She took out a beautifully-crafted jade flute.
The flute was used to discipline spirit wolves, and they would stop attacking at the sound of it.
Circe was in no hurry. She wanted to see if 'Beka' had any hidden powers—powers that would protect him from the Wind Spirit Wolves with no issue.
If that was not the case, she would blow the flute.
