Quest location, lucky or just a coincidence?

[Taoma]

Hi everyone, I recently returned to Unreal World after many years away, and this is actually my first time attempting to finish a quest. I do realize quests are meant to be overwhelming, specially early game, but decided I would give it a shot anyway. While traveling, I encountered two wolves, luckily, I managed to kill one with a javelin, making the trip worthwhile . It did made me wonder weather these could be the same wolves referenced in the quest. I’m also unsure whether it’s worth thoroughly searching this area, since it isn’t exactly east as the NPC described (or did I get it wrong??). Additionally, does tracking actually work on the overworld map? I can activate it, but I’ve never seen any results. Finally, based on the screenshots, where do you think the quest area actually is, if not where I killed the wolf? Thanks in advance.

Ps. First screenshot is an overview of where I killed the wolf, the second one is the map location of the same spot, and the third one is the quest description
