Chapter 38: The Treasure of the Fox Tribe

  "Gū Lǐng, you're wrong. The Bái Líng tribe wasn't killed by the Snow Demon." The old man with grey feathers said dejectedly, squatting on the ground.

  Gu Ling and Su Dong were both stunned, looking at Hui Yu in surprise, unsure why he would make such a judgment.

  "What I was worried about has finally happened." Huiyu sighed: "The one who caused the extinction of the White Spirit clan is not Snow Demon, the reason is simple, a large part of Snow Demon's combat power comes from their mounts, the double-headed wolf."

  "The double-headed wolf has a body like an ox, with two heads growing on it. It likes to use its two mouths to bite down on the enemy at the same time, and then tear them apart. Indeed, many of the corpses here have been torn to shreds, but they still remain intact."

  Gu Leng said curiously: "No way, this breath is indeed the breath of a double-headed wolf. Don't forget, I am from the Wolf Clan, it's impossible for me to judge wrongly!"

  Before Hei Yu could speak, Su Dong whispered beside him: "The scent can be imitated. In the extreme north wilderness, it's not difficult to collect the scent of a double-headed wolf and mix it with that of an ordinary giant wolf. Even if you're the Wolf King, you may not necessarily be able to tell them apart."

  After a pause, Su Dong said in a low voice: "This is not the most terrifying thing. What's terrifying is who exactly drove the giant wolf to sweep through White Head Mountain. If all the wolves are under your control, I can even suspect that there is a traitor among your own people."

  Su Dong's words not only made Gu Ling shocked and pale, but also made Hui Yu look at him in incredulity.

  Su Dong squatted down and examined a stiff corpse.

  "You see for yourself, as far as I know, the double-headed wolf has its heads on both sides, so they are more accustomed to tearing enemies apart from the side. And along this road we've come, we've seen a total of 1,145 corpses, with 761 of them torn apart by giant wolves. Among those 655 corpses, all the wounds were inflicted from the front."

  "The Double-headed Wolves want to bite the enemy from the front, they need to turn their heads sideways, this action must be very painful for them. Now, most of the corpses are torn apart from the front, in this case, either all the Double-headed Wolves are freaks who like to bite with their heads tilted, or someone deliberately left a false impression." Su Dong said calmly.

  After finishing speaking, Su Dong raised his head and found that Gu Ling and Hui Yu were both staring at him with their eyes wide open.

  "Have you counted all the bodies?"

  "Have you made records of every single corpse?!"

  The two beast kings exclaimed in unison, "Grey Wing's analysis is based on experience, while Su Dong has done a lot of work behind the scenes, with accurate data and clear thinking! Obviously more convincing!"

  Gu Lingzhong said: "Su Dong, what else did you see? Continue speaking."

  Su Dong stood up and looked around, saying in a low voice: "The enemy who slaughtered the White Spirit clan did not leave, but has been searching hard here for a long time, as if looking for someone or something. Look at this grand hall, there are many buildings and furniture that have been overturned, but these were obviously not knocked over during battle, because there is no sign of weapons on them."

  "If I'm right, the enemy is extremely powerful and will wipe out the entire White Spirit clan in a very short time! And then, after searching carefully and patiently for a long time, they finally left."

  Sigh~

  After listening to Su Dong's analysis, Hui Yu and Gu Ling both let out a long breath, their eyes fixed on Su Dong as if they were looking at a monster.

  "How old are you this year?" asked Gu Ling after some thought.

  Fourteen.

  Gu Ling smiled wryly and patted Su Dong's shoulder twice, saying: "Compared to you, I was a complete idiot at 14."

  At this time, only the old man with gray feathers stood up, habitually wrapping himself tightly in his cloak, and said: "The things we worried about have still appeared. This time, the goddess and the demon king may have lost their balance."

  "What's balance?" Su Dong asked, puzzled.

  Kuroba Michi said, "Although the Goddess of Wisdom and the Demon King of Power will be reborn, they have always maintained a delicate balance between each other, with neither side able to gain an overwhelming advantage. But this time, I suspect that Lord Tod has obtained new assistance and intends to take advantage of the Goddess of Wisdom's recent rebirth to eliminate her. In that case, our eight beast tribes will inevitably be forced to belong to Lord Tod alone, and the balance will no longer exist."

  Su Dong was confused by Hui Yu and Gu Ling, curiously saying: "I'm puzzled, you're both free, why must you participate in the war between that goddess and the demon king? Can't you just ignore them? If you don't like it, just cut her off!"

  "Why should we listen to these people's orders? They tell you to fight and you fight? Can't you have some personality?"

  Although Su Dong's words were unpleasant to hear, they made sense. Gu Ling and Hui Yu were stunned after listening, unable to comprehend how Su Dong's mind could harbor so many treasonous thoughts.

  "Our clan of spiritual beasts has been loyal to the two gods for generations." The Wolf King Gu Ling said with great righteousness.

  Su Dong smiled slightly, pointing to the corpses on the ground: "I appreciate loyalty, but also need to distinguish between loyalty to what kind of person. You see for yourself, the White Spirit clan was slaughtered almost to extinction, and it's very likely that it was your God of Strength, Todd, who did it! The reason is simple: he wanted to prevent the rebirth of the Goddess of Wisdom, Ziya!"

  "What crime have these little foxes committed? Are they not loyal to the spirits? What's the result? Who is responsible for this tragedy?"

  Su Dong's words were like a knife, stabbing into Gu Ling and Hui Yu's heart.

  Looking around, Su Dong coldly snorted and said: "Fortunately, your God of Tuo seems to have failed, otherwise the enemy wouldn't be searching desperately here."

  Huiyu wondered: "You think the Goddess of Wisdom is still alive?"

  Su Dong shook his head lightly, "I don't know if they wanted to kill Zi Ya, but look at the walls around us, some of the marks are still relatively new, indicating that they retreated in a hurry when they left."

  "The reason may be that they failed to achieve their own goals, as for whether they are looking for your goddess, I cannot judge."

  Huiyu and Guling nodded in unison. Many times, a person's ability and age are not comparable. In a short period of time, Su Dong thoroughly conquered the two beast kings with his analytical power, and now they even think that whatever Su Dong says is right.

  The only eye on the lonely ridge suddenly lit up and said in a low voice, "That's right, the Fox tribe is also one of the spiritual beast tribes. The rebirth of the Goddess may not necessarily be in the White Spirit tribe, it might be somewhere else!"

  Su Dong's eyes stared at the ground, a branch road junction in the great hall, and he said: "If I were one of those killers, I would carefully search along this direction."

  "Why?" asked Kiriya and Koromaru in unison.

  "Because this road is so unusual, it seems that all the foxes are avoiding this direction, while there are many corpses elsewhere, but here it's clean to an unbelievable degree, as if even when being slaughtered, the Fox tribe didn't want to retreat in this direction."

  "There are two possibilities, either because there's something they fear in this direction or because there's something they cherish in this place. The Fox tribe will try to avoid here as much as possible, even if it means dying somewhere else." Su Dong said calmly.

  Sigh~

  Gu Ling and Hui Yu both let out a breath of relief. Su Dong's judgment was indeed at the level of a monster!

  "Where on earth did you find this little guy Su Dong?" Gu Ling asked, looking at Hui Yu.

  "On the mountain..." Grey Feather said with outstretched arms.

  ……

  "Lao Hui, use your Eagle Eye Technique!" Gu Ling said in a low voice.

  Hui Ye nodded, and then two fingers in front of his eyes wiped, instantly his eyes became like light bulbs, emitting a strange white glow.

  One man and two beasts proceeded in the direction Su Dong had pointed out, the mountain cave where the White Spirit tribe lived was elegant in style, with many decorations, but it was very confusing, with forked roads one after another, dazzling to the eye.

  Su Dong walked while observing the carvings on the wall, most of which were related to Ziya, the goddess of wisdom, telling stories of the victories and defeats of the Fox tribe led by Goddess Ziya in history.

  "Wait a minute." Su Dong suddenly stopped in his tracks and said.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Ling turned back and asked.

  Su Dong didn't say a word, stretched out his hand to feel around on the wall, this stone wall was very dusty, seemingly not often swept.

  "The Fox tribe is very clean, all other places are swept very clean, while here the dust is obviously more, either because the Fox tribe deliberately missed this place when sweeping, or because there is something behind the wall that easily absorbs dust." Su Dong said simply.

  Hui Yu was taken aback and hastily walked over, using his Eagle Eye Technique to observe.

  His fingers hesitated and pressed on a place, which was the chest of the goddess of wisdom, Ziya, in the sculpture. It could be seen that Old Man Huiyu probably closed his eyes out of reverence for the gods when he pressed it.

  Splash!

  Soon, this stone wall splits in two directions, and a cold wind blows Su Dong to shiver, as if the entrance leads to the outside.

  One person and two beasts walked forward curiously, about ten or so minutes later, suddenly a vast expanse opened up before their eyes.

  All that can be seen in this place is like a volcanic mouth. The top of the head is a circular sky, and on the ground, in the snow, some very mysterious plants are growing!
