All the wolves had left. Before the group of travelers also continued their journey, they gathered up the carcasses of the slain wolf kings, and a few mutant ones, to take with them.
They traveled with greater care from then on, but met no more resistance from the forest's occupants. Four days later, they found the other end of that place.
When it was time for supper, nobody touched the meat of the wolf kings. They only dined on the mutant flesh.
Han Sen offered for them to eat whatever they desired, but Chen Hu told him, "You saved our hides multiple times back there. These wolf kings were slain by your hands only. How could we ever have the audacity to eat your food, on top of what you have already done for us?"
