Chapter 888: Snow Tribe, Breath of the Winter Wolf

From this man from the Snow Clan named Bai Na, Lu Xingshi learned the legend of their Snow Clan and the God of Winter, Ice and Snow.

It is said that the ancestors of the Snow Clan were once followers of the God of Winter, Ice and Snow, but they soon discovered that the God of Winter, Ice and Snow was an evil god.

He brought cold and ice and snow to the world, causing many people, animals and plants to die in the winter, so the ancestors of the Snow Clan rose up in resistance.

But he failed and was imprisoned in the Kingdom of God.

It was not until the coming of Ragnarok that they were able to escape from the cage.

But they soon discovered that the God of Winter and Ice and Snow was not completely dead, and the divine Winter Wolf survived.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Snow Clan settled at the foot of the Permafrost Mountains, and have been hunting snow wolves that were raised by winter wolves, and looking for opportunities to kill the winter wolves.

The queen was killed by the Snow Tribe people, mainly because they learned that the queen was able to successfully cross the Permafrost Mountains with the help of the Winter Wolf.

In the eyes of the Snow Tribe, this is a rare opportunity.

Then they killed the queen and hung her from a tree as bait to lure out the winter wolves.

However, Winter Wolf noticed the problem and just asked Snow Wolf to observe from a distance, then asked Lu Xingshi to come over and block the knife.

"So you Snow Tribe people are able to blend in with the snow and still avoid the eyes of the Wolf King."

"Then where does this ability come from?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.

The other party claimed to be from the Snow Tribe, but they were actually still human, just like the Voss and Ores, they belonged to different regions and races.

The only difference is that this group of people actually have the ability.

"This is the power our ancestors gained from fighting against the evil gods. If it weren't for the existence of Ragnarok, our power would be even stronger." Baina said, "Why would you, a human being, work for the Wolf King?"

"It's just a transaction." Lu Xingshi answered his question casually.

In fact, he was still very curious about the special physique of the Snow Clan.

The two asked and answered questions, and soon returned to the position of the Winter Wolf.

"We've found the person. He's the one who did it." Lu Xingshi directly threw Bai Na to Donglang.

Before Dong Lang could speak, Bai Na jumped up immediately, pulled out a transparent sharp blade from his arms, and stabbed it towards Dong Lang's chest.

If it were an ordinary person, there would be no way to avoid this.

However, the winter wolf was neither ordinary nor human. It stretched out its claws and slammed it to the ground.

"He is indeed the murderer." Winter Wolf didn't care about the other's struggle.

In fact, it knew that Lu Xingshi did this on purpose, otherwise Baina would not have been able to get close to the winter wolf and attack so easily.

Even Lu Xingshi did not conduct a search and disarmament.

"I heard some different statements from him." Lu Xingshi didn't care about Baina's life or death at all.

The winter wolf did not kill Baina, but just stepped hard and stepped on him, knocking him unconscious.

"I have also heard of the legends of the so-called Snow Clan's ancestors." Winter Wolf said calmly, "But this is just a phrase their ancestors used to cover up the fact that they stole the power of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow."

"A group of descendants of thieves and betrayers, cursed by the God of Winter and Snow, they cannot be too far away from the wind and snow, no matter where they are born or live. If they are too far away, they will die painfully from a high fever."

Lu Xingshi didn't care whether the Snow Clan had glorified his ancestors, nor did he care about the other party's purpose.

But when he heard the words divine power and curse, Lu Xingshi understood the value of this group of people.

Leaving aside the curse, the other party's ability to hide from the winter wolf's perception is likely to come from the divine power stolen by their ancestors.

"Kill all the Snow Tribe members and bring back their heads."

"I can give you a share of the power of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow. This is your reward." Dong Lang didn't care at all about the lies he had told Lu Xingshi before.

It understands Lu Xingshi, and knows that as long as the interests are right, the other party is very generous.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he began to think about whether this deal was worthwhile.

If you ignore the other party and try to catch it yourself, then all the divine power will be taken by yourself.

But the question is, can you extract it yourself?

If you let Winter Wolf do the processing, you can save a lot of trouble, but you can only get one copy.

"The divine power exists in the bodies of the Snow Tribe people, but it will not increase due to reproduction. The total amount will not change."

"One portion is equivalent to one-third of the current Snow Tribe members." Donglang saw Lu Xingshi's hesitation, so he continued to explain: "With the consumption of inheritance, at most only two and a half portions of divine power can be extracted."

What this means is that it can only get these, and it gives you nearly one-third, so don't be too greedy.

"I want one and a half." Lu Xingshi asked for most of it. "Without me, you can't even find their heads, let alone kill them."

"You are simply blind in the face of these descendants of thieves and traitors."

As for interests, you have to fight for them yourself.

In fact, Lu Xingshi wanted to leave half for Dong Lang, but although the idea was good, Dong Lang would definitely not agree.

He estimated that this half was reserved for arguing with Lu Xingshi, otherwise it would not have said it directly. Of course, there is another possibility that the winter wolf lied, for example, the divine power extracted was not just two and a half, but more.

However, Lu Xingshi would not pursue the matter so much. He would just watch Donglang extract it when the time comes.

"Sure." Winter Wolf agreed readily.

"It's a deal!" Lu Xingshi guessed that divine power was absolutely very important to Winter Wolf.

"So when are you going to start?" Winter Wolf asked.

"Wait until I pull my hand free..." Lu Xingshi did not plan to take action immediately. According to Donglang, this group of people could not leave the Permafrost Mountains anyway. It would be better to wait until he got rid of the undead and the steam soldiers of the Orei Empire.

"No, the sooner the better." Dong Lang interrupted Lu Xingshi and said directly after realizing that he was not in a hurry.

"You can, but... you have to pay extra."

"After all, this is an expedited business. There must be a price to pay for cutting in line." There is actually not much problem with Lu Xingshi's expedited business, but if he can make some extra money, why wouldn't Lu Xingshi do it?

Since the winter wolf was plotting against him on purpose, Lu Xingshi would naturally not be polite to it.

"I will only keep a share of the divine power. It is impossible for me to give you more." Winter Wolf said that you can make an offer as long as you don't mention the divine power.

Lu Xingshi looked up at the sky and said, "I want godhood."

"Impossible. If you can take it away, you can take it all." Winter Wolf interrupted, and the meaning was even more obvious, indicating that you were wishful thinking.

It says you can take everything, but in reality you can't take anything away, otherwise how could it be so generous.

Lu Xingshi noticed the urgency of Winter Wolf. Apparently the outside world had changed too much. Winter Wolf, who had fallen behind in the version, seemed to be thinking about catching up with the version again.

It's a good idea, but using the props from the previous version to strengthen yourself, an old antique, to catch up with the new version seems a bit unreliable no matter how you look at it.

"Then what can you give me?" There are only a few things that Lu Xingshi wants, but you don't get anything you want.

"Use it, how about that?" Winter Wolf said, digging for the Death of the God of Winter and Snow in the snowdrifts: "I used my blood to enhance its power."

"And the death element particles in it have been removed. Now this magical weapon has the power to control the wind and snow."

"I call it the Breath of Snow and Wind."

Lu Xingshi showed disdain on his face: "Tsk, it's just trash."

The original artifact of the undead wizard can now only control wind and snow, and the effect is much worse.

More importantly, it lacks a very important function, which is upgrading.

The original death of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow allowed him to absorb the Winter Wolf to improve himself, but this is definitely not possible now.

Winter Wolf would naturally not leave this trouble behind.

"No, it has a touch of divinity," said Winter Wolf.

Of course it knew it couldn't fool Lu Xingshi, and it was hoping to get something for nothing without spending any money. If it really treated Lu Xingshi as a fool and tried to trick him, it would only end up hurting itself.

After hearing that there was a hint of divinity, Lu Xingshi suppressed his pretended disdain.

"The divine power is given to you. If you want to use it, you must have the cooperation of the divine nature."

"After Breath of Wind and Snow has divine nature, it can also bear a trace of divine power. At that time, it is equivalent to possessing the authority over ice and snow that the God of Winter and Ice and Snow once had."

"It's just that you have no way to fully unleash the power of these authorities. After all, the gap between you and the real God of Winter and Ice and Snow is too big. It's already very good to be able to use them." Winter Wolf said.

Dong Lang really did his job flawlessly. He solved his own problem and also gave Lu Xingshi a gift.

"You took my things, damaged them, repaired them, and then gave them to me as a gift?" Lu Xingshi opened his eyes wide and sorted out the logic.

"So you used my money to do your job, and I should thank you???"

Although Dong Lang's words are exaggerated, the actual logic is exactly as Lu Xingshi said. After all, the death of Dong and the God of Ice and Snow was originally Lu Xingshi's.

Winter Wolf's expression remained unchanged: "I can give you another ball of cold air as compensation."

It’s nothing more than Lu Xingshi asking it to continue to increase the money.

"No, no, no, I don't need your coldness." Lu Xingshi refused, and then said: "I still want to use the authority of winter."

The God of Winter and Ice and Snow has many powers, not only winter, ice, and snow, but also wind, cold, and so on.

But the core is definitely winter, nothing else.

"That's a priesthood, you can't use it." Winter Wolf told the truth: "Whether it's ice, snow or other powers, they are all derived from winter. You are a mortal and cannot bear the priesthood."

"At most I will give you the authority over wind and cold. You won't be able to withstand any more wind and snow."

Winter Wolf gave the final condition: if it can be done, do it; if it can't, then go separate ways.

It can wait for the next person to help.

In the eyes of the winter wolf, humans are just a short-lived species. They will live for a few decades at most, or a hundred years at most, and then Lu Xingshi will die.

As for the Snow Tribe? Because of the curse and divine power, it is not so easy for them to die out.
