# Chapter 1361: A Wolf That Smells Blood
Bai Kou gently stroked the Star Ring, her memories drifting far away!
She softly murmured: "The Star Ring carried the hopes of millions, yet who would have thought it would end so abruptly like this!"
"The frozen ground buried the passion of days past. People no longer even remember your name, Yu, forgetting what you once did for this era..."
"The name of Lord Yu once resounded through this age, but in the end, it couldn't withstand time. They have forgotten, but I still remember!"
At this moment, Bai Kou looked up at the sky, gazing through the window at the bright moon in the night sky!
The moonlight seemed a few shades dimmer than in years past!
"I just wonder how this era will end. Will it be as you hoped?"
"Will it?"
Bai Kou seemed to be asking herself, but there was no one to answer!
"Wait for me! I'll go find you! I won't let the tears of Lord Yu flow in vain!"
In the quiet attic, only the sound of ice chimes echoed...

Far away in the Snow Country, Bell had just finished a big business deal with Blue Ice's Toru!
Having sold off the batch of stolen weapons, he was now lying on the bed, making phone calls while getting a Spa treatment.
"Tsk～ Did the Signal Gun make a move? That woman has indeed set her sights on me!"
"You two hold the line first. I'll go back after finishing things here. As for important resources like the Star Ring, they must be firmly in my hands at Aka!"
"Heh～ You think I don't know what the higher-ups are messing around with? That's underestimating me, Bell!"
Bell let out a cold laugh. He had just finished a face-to-face meeting with Toru and learned about the Lantis situation.
He confirmed that the meteor shower was summoned by the Heaven Sacrifice Spell Array.
Then, connecting it to the fact that since the No Man's Land Spirit Disaster, the Goose Country Deep Space Bureau had been secretly tinkering with spacecraft,
Bell, after much inquiry, learned that the Deep Space Bureau had actually restarted the Moon Landing Project!
Add to that Bai Kou's constant searching for the Star Gate...
Bell was almost certain that the higher-ups of the Goose Country wanted to go to the moon!
Looking for something on the moon—perhaps the precious Origin Stone!
No matter what, only by holding the Star Ring in hand could he get a piece of the pie!
Otherwise, he wouldn't get a single hair!
"No matter what method you use, you'd better figure out the location of the Shen Yu Lingxu before I come back!"
"Can't even keep an eye on a single Silver City? When I get back, I'll snap both your heads off!"
Niki and Kvass were both grimacing. Where the hell were they supposed to find that?
They had cast a wide net, but so far, no harvest!
---
These past two days, the Blizzard and Signal Gun people had practically turned Blood Capital upside down but still couldn't find Luo Tianqing's trail!
They even suspected that she might have already set off for the Shen Yu Lingxu!
Hart never imagined that Jiang Nan's group was hiding in a secret base in the snowy mountains!
On the third night, deep in the night, Xiao Jiuwo, transformed into Blue Feather form, carried everyone away from the secret base and flew straight into the depths of the permafrost!
Heading to the Aisinuo Tribe's camp to find Gu Yu!
Yin had been fed over a dozen Spirit-Binding Steel Beads and was being dangled by Xiao Jiuwo's claws as they flew!
After all, he was a prisoner; getting a hanging ticket was already generous!
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)"Keep your eyes wide open. If we fly past, I'll feed you more steel beads!"
The temperature was minus forty or fifty degrees. Yin was covered in frost!
His resentment points refreshed crazily!
❅(づ˃᷄皿˂᷅ど)❅
This woman is not human! She cleaned out all my savings from years, and won't even give me a meal!
But the Spirit-Binding Steel Beads he certainly didn't lack!
Now all he had left in terms of assets was the clothes on his back!
And he still had to lead them to find the treasure?
I'm so screwed...
Riding Xiao Jiuwo, Jiang Nan, just in case, took out a piece of Word Spirit Gum, ready to eat it.
After all, who knew what the situation was like at the Aisinuo tribe?
Word Spirit Gum, as a divine artifact for trash-talking, was easy to use and could come in handy at crucial moments!
Just as he was about to stuff it into his mouth, sharp-eyed Xia Yao spotted it!
She dashed over in a flash and hugged Jiang Tianqing's arm, shaking it!
(๑ಡ◡ಡ)"Sister Tianqing～ Is this gum tasty?"
Jiang Tianqing nodded.
(•︠～•︡)"Pretty tasty!"
With that, he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed!
Xia Yao: (≖_≖)...
So do I need to be more direct?
After all, Xiao Nan was the kind of steel-minded man who could say things like "baby truck"!
(ʃƪ･᷄◡･᷅)"Could I have a piece then?"
No doubt about it—Xiao Nan must have eaten this gum to make his words come true!
Da Lang Mie had already started guessing on the plane. Such a fun thing—how could she miss it?
Jiang Tianqing paused: (๑•̌.•̑)"You really want to eat it?"
Da Lang Mie nodded like a chick pecking rice, full of expectation!
(Oὅ◡ὅ)"I want to eat it!"
Jiang Tianqing planted his hands on his hips!
(๑︶ٹ︶)"Then you ki—"
(๛˘³˘)"mUa～"
Before he could finish, Xia Yao planted a kiss right on Jiang Nan's cheek!
How could Xiao Nan not understand? This was clearly me profiting, alright?
Jiang Nan's eye twitched. Was she always this decisive?
Xia Yao giggled!
(˵ಡ▾ಡ˵)"If you're reluctant to give me a piece, I could eat the one you're chewing in your mouth～"
Jiang Nan: !!!
That would be... s-sigh~
After conjuring up the image, Jiang Nan's heart raced, but then he frantically shook his head. No, no!
If he actually gave it, it would be unbroadcastable!
So he took out a piece of Word Spirit Gum and handed it to Xia Yao, instructing her seriously!
(๑•̀‸•́)"This thing has no side effects, but you have to be careful. Don't say anything reckless, or peeing your pants would be the least of it!"
Xia Yao excitedly stuffed it into her mouth and ate it: "Don't worry! I'll be careful!"
Beside her, Zhong Yingxue looked at Jiang Nan with a longing expression. When she saw him looking back, she quickly averted her gaze, twisting her clothes, her face red!
(๑◔ε◔ิ๑)"I-it's not like I really want to eat it that badly..."
Jiang Nan snickered and gave Xuexue a piece as well. Then he gave everyone a piece to eat!
Many hands make light work, right? With the whole crew capable of trash-talking, that was way more powerful than just him scolding alone!
"Remember, before you blast someone, think it through first. Make sure it's okay before you say it, got it?"
Wu Liang and Xiong Er patted their chests: "No problem!"
Xia Yao threw an arm around Jiang Tianqing's shoulder!
(︶ꇴ︶O)"I'm literally drunk. You can trust me, Da Lang Mie! E-he～"
In an instant, Xia Yao's face turned bright red, her eyes glazed over, and crystal-clear drool started dripping from the corner of her mouth!
˚‧º·(ૢ⁼̴̤̆﹃⁼̴̤̆ૢ)‧º·˚
Her body uncontrollably tumbled off Xiao Jiuwo's back!
Jiang Tianqing shrugged: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "See? That's the consequence!"
Xiao Jiuwo executed a barrel roll maneuver and caught Xia Yao back on its back!
Struck by the cold wind, Xia Yao sobered up a bit, but she was still in a dazed, drunk-like state!
Everyone stared blankly!
Holy crap! Is it really this effective? Any wish you say will come true?
Zhong Yingxue immediately pulled up the hood of her down jacket, zipped it to the top to cover her mouth, and started mumbling!
Katerina also looked at Jiang Tianqing with anticipation!
"What about me? Why don't I get a piece?"
Jiang Tianqing tilted his head: "I'm not giving you any. I'm afraid I'll blow a big snot bubble from being too gorgeous—s-s-s!"
Before he finished, Jiang Tianqing, suddenly realizing, immediately blew a huge snot bubble!
(๑▀̿ʖ̯▀̿)◯...
The cold wind hit, and it froze solid instantly!
Katerina's eyes lit up. She whipped out her phone and snapped 30 consecutive shots of Jiang Tianqing's face!
(๐✪⥎✪)っ[]✧
Jiang Tianqing's face darkened as he quickly popped the bubble!
Damn it! Why is there always something so unexpected?!
Meanwhile, Wu Liang looked confused!
(ิ◕㉨◕ิ)?"Sister Xue? Why do you keep calling me by my nickname?"
Zhong Yingxue was stunned!
(*•.•*)? "W-what? I didn't!"
Wu Liang scratched his head!
୧(๑•̌㉨•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Really? But you were clearly muttering 'Xiong Da, Xiong Da' under your breath just now. You said it over twenty times!"
Zhong Yingxue's face turned as red as an apple!
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ) "You misheard me! I wasn't calling you!"
Jiang Nan: ???
Xiong Da? Was Xuexue secretly whispering "big chest" just now?
Pfft, hahaha! Was that Xuexue's wish?
That's way too cute! But don't bother—that kind won't work!
Wu Liang said seriously:
(๑ರ㉨ರ)و "I definitely didn't mishear. I've had good ears since I was a kid. You must have—"
"Boom!"
Before he finished, a massive fireball appeared and blasted straight onto Wu Liang!
It knocked him straight off Xiao Jiuwo's back!
Wu Liang: ???
Jiang Nan couldn't hold back his laughter. So this is what getting furious and lashing out looks like!
Just then, Yin shouted:
"The Aisinuo tribe is here! Right down there!"
Everyone quickly looked down!
In a snowy wasteland, there was a cluster of lights!
At the leeward side of the snowy mountain sat row upon row of translucent dome-shaped ice houses, with light spilling out from within!
There were also some easily disassembled tent structures. Clearly, this was the Aisinuo people's temporary camp!
It formed a small town-like scale, gathering quite a few people!
The entire tribe roamed the permafrost, without any fixed settlement!
Xiao Jiuwo landed outside the town. The group, escorting Yin, headed straight into the ice-house town!
Jiang Nan warned: "At this point, don't try any tricks!"
"Hand over Gu Yu obediently and show me the location of the Shen Yu Lingxu, and I'll let you live!"
Yin looked bitter: "Got it!"
As soon as they entered the ice-house town, they saw many people gathered around a bonfire!
On the fire was a Blizzard Wind Rabbit, sizzling and dripping oil!
"Oh? If it isn't Brother Yin? Back, huh? Where did you go to strike it rich? Not taking your brothers along?"
By the fire, a white-bearded strong man dressed in a snow carving raised his hand and greeted Yin!
His level wasn't low—he seemed to be at Diamond rank too!
The whole tribe was this small. Whatever happened spread fast!
The arrival of Jiang Nan's group had caught many people's attention!
Yin forced a smile: "Aha～ Just came back to check on things. You all keep eating..."
As he spoke, he led Jiang Nan and the others deeper into the ice-house town!
The white-bearded man by the fire watched the group's backs as they walked away, his eyes gradually turning cold!
He gave a signal to someone beside him, who broke off a rabbit leg and walked away!
Xia Yao's expression tightened. She rubbed her cheeks: "Xiao—Sister Tianqing, be careful!"
Jiang Nan sneered: "Your Aisinuo tribe has been pretty lively lately, huh? Got quite a few new scavengers?"
