# Chapter 1362: Ascending to the Moon! Illuminating All Living Beings

Yin's face was gloomy, full of bitterness!
Clearly, the scavengers had all heard about what happened recently!
Because of those three Star Ring fragments, he had become famous!
His name shook Blood Capital, making him a hot commodity that all factions wanted!
There are no walls without cracks, and the scavenger circle was just this small!
Naturally, they had heard that Yin found the treasure after deciphering the ancient oracle of the Asno clan!
And most of today's scavengers came from the Asno clan!
So they gathered like wolves smelling blood, hoping to find the ancient oracle, get the code to wealth, and also grab a piece of the pie!
The small Asno tribe had attracted the attention of countless people!
The number of visitors to the igloo town had also surged. Yin noticed it the moment he entered the tribe!
His heart lifted!
He didn't know if the ancient oracle he had hidden was still there!
With heavy thoughts, he led Jiangnan and the others all the way to the luxurious domed igloo on the north side of the town!
The moment he entered the house, Yin's face darkened!
The place was completely ransacked, various items scattered everywhere!
Even shorts were hanging on the ice lamp!
Seeing this, Jiangnan smiled with a nuclear-friendly expression.
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "You'd better not have made me come all this way for nothing!"
Yin swallowed his saliva.
(#◔₃◔ิ#) "I... I hid it. There's no way anyone else can find it!"
But the huge igloo was a complete mess, even the lining of the clothes had been torn open!
As soon as he entered, Yin's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the kicked-over stove in the corner, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Yin dawdling, Jiangnan drew his dagger and pressed it against Yin's neck.
(O‾́~‾́)={:::::7(ʘ̆﹏ʘ̥̆‖)
"Hurry up! Go find it for me!"
Yin's mind raced. Now was the time!
With a sudden burst, Yin dashed forward, both hands reaching for Jiangnan's dagger!
His movements were extremely fast, even leaving afterimages!
But Jiang Tianqing's expression remained unchanged, his actions even faster than Yin's!
He raised his hand and delivered a big B-dou to Yin's face!
A crisp "slap" sound rang out. Yin's face was twisted to the side, his body frozen in place!
(ꐦ°᷄_°᷅)۶( ̄#)3 ̄)
Jiang Tianqing: (≖_≖)…
"Is this your plan? Snatching a blade with bare hands? Are you looking down on me, or what? Want to see what heaven looks like?"
Yin looked awkward.
(ノ)థㅂథ) "No... I..."
But before he could finish, Jiangnan tied Yin up like a zongzi with a bundle of Spirit Silk!
"Go! Beat him up!"
A group of people surrounded him and started kicking Yin violently, the blows thudding loudly!
Yin hugged his head and wailed.
୧(#)༎ຶД༎ຶ(#)୨ "Stop! Stop hitting! I won't run! I'll find it for you!"
[From Nicholas Yin's Resentment Value +1000!]
After another three minutes of kicking, Jiangnan finally stopped.
Yin wiped the blood off his face with a look of grievance, crawled over to the stove, and rummaged through the firewood pile to pull out a blackened fire poker!
He wiped it hard against his clothes, rubbing off the ashes to reveal the white bone underneath!
It was actually a narwhal tusk, carved with exquisite patterns and many runes!
Yin looked unwilling: "The ancient oracle is hidden in the whale tusk! Just inject spiritual power to open it!"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up as he snatched the fire poker into his hand!
"You sure know how to hide things? Give it here!"
No one would have thought that this inconspicuous fire poker was actually a precious ancient oracle!
Little did they know, this thing was originally a fire poker, passed down through the Nicholas family!
When Yin was a child, his father used it to poke the fire!
The reason he discovered the ancient oracle was because he was bored while burning the stove and injected spiritual power into it, thus uncovering the true nature of the fire poker!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jiangnan injected spiritual power into the fire poker. The runes on it lit up with spiritual light!
The entire whale tusk unscrewed, revealing a rolled-up piece of whale skin inside!
It was covered with densely packed ancient text, the handwriting elegant, bearing traces of time!
[Skill Triggered!]
[Asno Ancient Language (Beginner): LV0!]
[Would you like to add skill points?]
Jiangnan immediately maxed it out without a second word!
[Confirmed Addition: 1,111,100 points!]
[Skill Upgraded! Asno Ancient Language (Master): LV0!]
Countless textual knowledge poured into his mind. The whale skin paper that had been like a heavenly book was now completely clear to him!
"Oracle of the Divine!"
"Slay the divine on the frozen land, end of an era, spirit extinguished, gods fallen, ultimately powerless to turn the tide!"
"Command your clan to guard the Divine Oracle Spirit Ruin for generations. When the spirit surge comes, reopen the Spirit Ruin and continue the Divine Oracle's will!"
"Use its tears to drive the stars, ascend to the moon, ignite the spark! Illuminate all living beings—written by Bai Kou!"
Below was recorded the specific location of the Divine Oracle Spirit Ruin. It was just a simple handwritten oral directive!
Jiangnan's head buzzed as he looked at the ancient oracle, as if struck by a thunderbolt!
Even though it was just a few simple sentences, the content was absolutely explosive!
∑(°口°๑) Bai Kou?
Holy crap! Which Bai Kou?
The Snow Girl Bai Kou?
This ancient oracle was personally written by Bai Kou?
Holy shit! This ancient oracle was a genuine antique, at least a thousand years old!
What kind of person could live that long?
Thinking back to what Katerina told him about the Snow Girl Bai Kou inexplicably stepping out of the permafrost...
Could this woman be a badass who survived from the last Gusu era?
Jiangnan swallowed his saliva, genuinely frightened by his own guess!
Had he really encountered a monster?
Or was it just a coincidence of the same name?
Seeing Jiangnan standing dumbfounded with the ancient oracle, Yin thought Jiangnan couldn't understand it.
He couldn't help but edge over, sneakily peeking, memorizing the location of the Divine Oracle Spirit Ruin.
(#)¯ิ৺¯ิ(#) "Hey~ Don't bother. No living Asno can read this kind of text!"
"The little I know was taught by my grandfather. As for the content on this ancient oracle, I can recognize a dozen characters or so!"
"If you want me to translate, it's not impossible. Rescue my teammates and take us along too, how about that?"
"We can all make money together!"
Jiangnan looked annoyed.
(angry face ꐦ) "Get lost, roll to the side. You illiterate fool, what are you showing off to me for?"
Yin glared. Illiterate? I...
Before he could speak, Yin did a backflip on the spot and rolled to the side!
Yin: ???
Jiangnan was deep in thought. Ascend to the moon?
Taiyin meant the moon, didn't it?
A thousand years ago, ancient people already wanted to go to the moon?
Ignite the spark, the Origin Spark? Building this Star Ring was for going to the moon?
Giao!
Jiangnan swallowed his saliva. This trip to Blood Capital was really worthwhile!
Just then, Xia Yao's expression suddenly changed: "Watch out!"
Zhong Yingxue squinted: "It's a Spirit-Binding Pearl!"
Yin's face also turned ugly. Someone had clearly brought out a Spirit-Binding Pearl!
The door of the igloo was suddenly kicked open, and the white-bearded strongman strode in!
In his hand, he toyed with a Spirit-Binding Pearl. His gaze immediately fell on the ancient oracle in Jiangnan's hand, a mocking smile on his face.
(Strongman՞Д՞) "Hiding it pretty well? I really didn't think of a fire poker! Brother Yin? You're really something, can't handle the feast all by yourself!"
"Bringing outsiders here, not even letting us share a piece?"
Yin looked disgusted: "Shut up! With your pathetic self, why are you even butting in? This thing is not something you can covet!"
"Don't you know your own weight?"
The white-bearded strongman sneered: "It's not just me who wants this thing!"
More and more scavengers gathered around, some already drawing knives and putting on gloves!
The entire igloo was surrounded by scavengers, probably numbering in the hundreds!
The strongman raised an eyebrow at Jiang Tianqing: "If you know what's good for you, tell us the treasure location, and everyone gets rich!"
"Otherwise, there might be a few more frozen corpses on this frozen plain!"
"Little girl~ Better not make trouble for yourself!"
Jiang Tianqing slowly put away the ancient oracle, tucking the fire poker into his belt.
(ꐦ⌒͜ʖ⌒) "Oh? Are you really sure it's us making trouble for ourselves?"
The white-bearded strongman stepped forward, swaggering up to Zhong Yingxue, a lecherous smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
(΄◞ิ.̫.̫◟ิ‵) "Isn't it? Just a bunch of Diamonds. In a Spirit-Binding force field, in terms of physical fitness, you're nothing but lambs waiting to be slaughtered!"
"We can do whatever we want with you!"
"Isn't that right, little beauty~?"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Zhong Yingxue's chin!
Xia Yao looked at the white-bearded strongman with pity.
(・᷄ὢ・᷅)
Zhong Yingxue's eyes flashed with cold light. She grabbed the strongman's index finger and twisted it hard!
"Crack!"
A crisp bone-breaking sound came. The strongman's eyes bulged, about to scream!
But his other hand formed a fist and punched hard toward Zhong Yingxue's stomach!
Yet Zhong Yingxue raised her knee to block the incoming fist!
Grabbing the strongman's arm, she spun and executed a shoulder throw!
The strongman, weighing over 200 pounds, was slammed to the ground by Zhong Yingxue!
With a "boom"!
The ice layer under the igloo cracked open. His entire arm bent at an odd angle, dislocated!
"I'll kill you! Get off me!"
The strongman struggled to get up, but Zhong Yingxue's knee pressed firmly against the center of gravity of his back!
She slammed her palm hard against his back heart. With a "pfft" sound!
A white bone spike extended from Zhong Yingxue's palm, piercing straight through the strongman's heart!
Strongman: !!!
Damn! Wasn't this woman a magic-type?
I'm a Diamond-level Beast Transformation! How could this...
Heart pierced, blood gushed out like a fountain. Zhong Yingxue grabbed the strongman's neck and twisted hard!
"Crack!"
The strongman's neck was twisted one and a half turns. His eyes wide open in death, he lay motionless on the ground!
Zhong Yingxue picked up the dropped Spirit-Binding Pearl and crushed it, flicking the blood off the bone knife in her palm.
(O‾́~‾́) "The force field is still there. There should be more than just this one from him."
At that moment, the scene was dead silent. Jiangnan stared wide-eyed at Zhong Yingxue!
Σ(!!!⚆◊⚆)
His mouth hung wide open!
My goodness!
