Chapter 237 Unexpected Gain, Clearing the Area
The wolf pack couldn't help but howl at the sight of their companion. However, the dead were gone, and life (scratch that) and hunting had to go on. The golden wolves that had retreated and hidden earlier took the initiative to walk forward to the heart of the mess. After cautiously probing and confirming that their target was dead, they returned to inform the Silver Moon Wolf King.
As a result, a pack of hundreds of wolves entered the valley one after another and occupied the entire valley.
"I want to see what the Silver Moon Wolf King is trying to do after paying such a high price."
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself as he returned to his previous position overlooking the valley, observing the wolf pack's movements.
The wolf kings and the pack of wolves that were over a thousand years old weren't much to see; they were busy dividing up the remaining plant remains. Although they had just self-destructed, their remaining vitality was still quite beneficial to soul beasts of the same cultivation level.
As for the golden and silver wolves that are a little over a thousand years old, they were digging around in the valley, seemingly searching for something.
"Awoo~"
Suddenly, a wolf howl rang out, attracting the attention of all the wolves present, including Huo Yuhao.
A silver wolf, carrying something in its mouth, ran up to the Silver Moon Wolf King as if seeking praise. Its lively manner and wagging tail made Huo Yuhao think it was a Siberian Husky for a moment.
With its significantly larger size than the other silver wolves, it looked even more like a silly husky charging into a pack of wolves.
It wasn't until it reached the Silver Moon Wolf King that this wolf, which resembled a husky, became a little more serious. It obediently put what it was holding on the ground, then lay down, its tail swaying wildly on its raised rear end.
However, Huo Yuhao's attention was completely drawn to the things on the ground.
I hadn't noticed it when I was using mental detection to observe the entire valley, but just now when I tried to investigate, I discovered that I couldn't find out what the wolves were looking for.
Huo Yuhao's mental detection was actually blocked by that thing.
It wasn't until the thing appeared on the ground that Huo Yuhao was able to see the treasure that was attracting the wolves.
It was a white, almost transparent stone that subtly refracted colorful light under the sunlight.
"What kind of rare metal is this? I've never seen it before."
Huo Yuhao searched his mind for rare metals with relevant descriptions, but none of them could be equated with this white stone. In other words, this was something that even the Sun Moon Empire had not been able to discover.
"Um?"
The Silver Moon Wolf King took a closer look, then growled at the "Siberian Husky," which wagged its tail even more enthusiastically and swallowed the stone whole.
When Silver Wolf reaches a bottleneck, it needs to consume a large amount of mithril to make a breakthrough.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao remembered Ju Zi's description of Silver Wolf in the original novel.
Could it be that... the claim that Silver Wolf needs to consume a large amount of mithril to break through is wrong, or rather, one-sided?
Silver wolves do need to consume mithril to break through their bottlenecks, but what they actually need to break through ten thousand years is not mithril, but this undiscovered mysterious metal.
This silver wolf, which is clearly of higher cultivation level, may have already approached the ten-thousand-year level. The reason why the wolf pack is willing to fight to the death with a ten-thousand-year soul beast is because this soul beast occupies an important resource for the silver wolves to break through the ten-thousand-year limit.
The white poisonous fog, suspected to be targeting the mind and capable of shielding mental detection; the rare metal, capable of shielding mental detection; the silver wolf with mental attributes… At the heart of it all is this rare metal with mental attributes.
This also explains why there are not many records about the Silver Moon Wolf King in the entire Sun Moon Empire. Natural treasures with spiritual attributes are rare, unlike mithril which is abundant, and the Silver Moon Wolf King is not so easy to come by.
Wait! A rare metal with spiritual attributes?
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. Hadn't he been struggling to find suitable spiritual attribute materials to experiment with his battle armor? If that plant-type soul beast was using ore to produce poison, then the valley must have a large amount of ore reserves to form such a vast expanse of white mist, enough for him to squander.
Just as Huo Yuhao was pondering, the silver wolf that had swallowed the ore suddenly surged in power. Huo Yuhao had not taken the wolf's strength seriously before, but now it was starting to put some pressure on him.
"What kind of ore is this? How can it be so effective?"
Huo Yuhao stared intently at the valley below him, his gaze filled with a mixture of surprise, apprehension, and burning desire.
A mere fist-sized piece of mineral material has brought about such a transformative change in a nine-thousand-year-old silver wolf. This mine must be seized.
but
Huo Yuhao looked at the wolf pack in the valley with some apprehension. There was a Silver Moon Wolf King that could fight a Soul Douluo head-on, three Golden Wolf Kings at the ten-thousand-year level, plus a pack of hundreds of golden and silver wolves that were over a thousand years old. With such a luxurious lineup, Huo Yuhao was not confident that he could deal with or drive them away.
Not to mention that this involves the very foundation of the Silver Wolf Clan's existence, and the Silver Wolf Clan would fight to the death to protect it.
Why should I take action myself?
Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something, and an excited light flashed in his eyes.
I almost forgot, I'm someone who has powerful connections now.
Since the rare metal was unearthed, apart from a few on guard duty, the rest of the wolf pack gathered at the spot where the gold was found, working diligently like miners digging away.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura enveloped the entire valley. In an instant, all the creatures in the valley were crushed to the ground by the immense pressure. Even the Silver Moon Wolf King lost its previous imposing manner and lay on the ground with a look of unwillingness.
The Silver Moon Wolf King never expected to encounter such a being in just a branch of the Jingyang Mountains.
"Thump—thump—"
Accompanied by footsteps that sounded like an earthquake, a huge white bear appeared from the mountain pass. The immense pressure that crushed the entire valley came from this suddenly appearing white bear.
This person...this bear, isn't that the Ice Bear King Xiaobai from the far north?
"Roar!" (Get lost!)
Little White simply let out a low growl, and several timid wolves were terrified, a foul, fishy smell spreading throughout the valley.
The wolf kings, however, were more astute. As if granted a pardon, they let out a howl and led their pack away from the valley.
Leaving the valley, the Silver Moon Wolf King still looked back at it with reluctance.
Thanks.
Seeing that the wolf pack had been driven away, Huo Yuhao deactivated his simulation, revealed his true form, and gratefully patted Xiaobai's paw.
"Let them out first."
Ice Bear King Xiaobai snorted and transformed back into human form.
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and began chanting the incantation to open the undead demiplane once more.
A skeleton slowly stepped out of the undead demiplane, its eye sockets burning with grayish-white soul fire, and it held a wooden tray, which was none other than the Consecration Platform that sealed the Snow Emperor.
