151 The Missing Wolves
Selma Payne’s POV:
I couldn’t care less. Saving people was more important!
Dorothy used a spell to knock away a group of shadows eyeing us covetously. At the same time, Master Hayley and I immediately went forward to snatch away the few people closest to us.
I didn’t know what kind of spell Master Hayley had used, but she had turned herself into a big, furry fellow. She could easily carry three burly men.
“My name is Julia. With Hayley’s body size, it’s time for me to make an appearance, right?” Master Hayley said.
How strange, even her name changed when her figure changed. However, this might be due to the countless limitations. I didn’t have the time to ponder this. I carried the two female members and ran deep into the cave.
As expected! We guessed it right. The Time Shifters’ habitat is only the shallow part of the cave. Although they looked very upset, an invisible barrier stopped them from chasing.
“Do you think the members at the second base disappeared because of the Time Shifters?” I quickly asked.
Master Hayley was hesitant about her answer. “Maybe, but the possibility is not very high. Do you think the chances of this happening would happen twice in such a short time?”
After saying that, we returned to the Time Shifters’ habitat.
When I slapped a few Time Shifters away, I asked Dorothy while saving her, “How are you doing? Can you still hold on?”
“No problem at all. These little things can only eat the lifetime of the people they have frozen. They can’t do anything to me. Their soft little claws are not as strong as Avril’s fighting strength!”
Dorothy’s expression was serious but not strenuous. I relaxed and focused on saving the others.
Due to my selfishness, I saved Aldrich, who was the closest to the door. On the way there, I saw a Time Shifter about to open its mouth at Yuri and Linda. I kicked it away without thinking.
However, the demonic beast passed through the invisible barrier. It let out a blood-curdling screech after leaving its habitat, and before it could struggle, it quickly solidified into a stone.
This was the first time I learned that Time Shifters could do that. I immediately shouted to Dorothy and Master Hayley, “There’s a more energy-saving method! Pushing the Time Shifters out of their habitat! They will turn into stone!”
Saving all our members one by one was too much of a waste of time, so it was better to save them all at once!
Dorothy and Master Hayley immediately changed their tactics. The former used sorcery to tie several Time Shifters together, while the latter threw the rounded-up Time Shifters into the cave’s depths like a baseball.
The sound of stones crumbling was more beautiful than any music. Gradually, the number of Time Shifters decreased. When the remaining Time Shifters saw their companions’ miserable fate, they retreated and disappeared one by one.
We’d taken the opportunity to move the others. After leaving their habitat, the members whose time had been stopped would resume their activities within a few minutes.
To prevent any accidents, we shattered the rocks one by one. The furry Master Hayley was strong, and some of the rocks were even flung to the end of the cave.
After doing all this, everyone was almost fully awake.
Master Hayley, who had returned to her human form, described the dangerous situation to Aldrich and Frank. The two immediately felt that it was not a good place to stay.
However, the blizzard was still raging, and the only plan was to move into the cave’s depths.
After I settled down, I said to the exhausted Master Hayley, “How did you do it just now? Your wolf is tall and so big and so furry. It’s so mighty.”
Master Hayley looked at me strangely and said, “Uhm, that’s my wolf, Julia. She introduced herself to you, right? ”
“Your wolf?” I was a little confused. What Wolf? Is it a type of sorcery?”
This time, Dorothy and Aldrich surrounded me. Aldrich asked in confusion and worry, “What’s wrong, Selma? Wolves, every werewolf has a wolf.”
Dorothy said, “Just like my Elaine and your Maxine. Don’t make such a joke. Maxine will be angry.”

“And Morgan. Maxine met him before.”
I became increasingly confused, and Aldrich became more nervous because of my confusion. “Please tell me that this is a joke, Selma. This is not funny at all.”
“Wait! Let me think!” I didn’t understand what they were saying. “What wolf? Which Maxine? Who is she? Have I met her before? What are you guys talking about?”
This time, everyone was panicking.
Master Hayley immediately called Master Kevin over. The commotion had attracted the attention of the others, so Aldrich could only explain to everyone that it was nothing, and after some deliberation, he dismissed Frank.
Master Kevin immediately said, “You need a soul examination, Miss Selma. We need to see what’s wrong with the link between you and the wolf.”
“Who can answer my question first?” I asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”
“We’re not trying to hide it,” Master Hayley comforted me softly. “It’s just that you can’t understand this concept right now. Something is blocking your thoughts.”
