"You don't need to exaggerate the importance of that insect. Didn't you hear me just say it was a bit troublesome?"

Seeing their tense expressions, Ji Haobo couldn't help but chuckle, knowing they must have misunderstood.

"If you said you can't hit it, then didn't you think of using something to catch it?"

The group was stunned upon hearing this, and exclaimed in disbelief:

"Arrest...arrest them?"

"That's right, arrest them. You don't think that thing is flammable, do you?"

His words startled Lao Hu for a moment, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"I understand. That insect can only burn living things; it has no effect on anything else."

When I saw my comrades turn to ashes, it was their bodies that burned first, not their clothes.

"Old Hu is right, the Boundless Karmic Fire is aimed at living beings."

The reason the clothes also turned to ashes was simply because they were ignited by the flames of the flesh.

Otherwise, if it could really burn everything, wouldn't Earth itself turn into the sun?

The group searched for underground fissures as they walked, but unfortunately, they found nothing all afternoon.

Even after using drones to search the area, nothing unusual was found.

This made Ji Haobo frown. He guessed that the crack might be covered by ice and snow, and it would probably be difficult to find it.

One reason he didn't go directly to the Western Regions to find the ancient city of Jingjue was that the Taklamakan Desert was so vast that without a general map, he couldn't just search aimlessly.

Therefore, it is necessary to find Yang Xueli's father's notes. In addition, Ji Haobo also wants to explore the nine-story demon tower, as he is curious about what is inside.

Having searched in vain and with darkness falling, the group set up camp in a sheltered spot, making three tents.

In fact, Ji Haobo could have taken everyone into the Heavenly Coffin Space, but it was still empty inside at the moment, and he hadn't done any development on it.

It wasn't that Ji Haobo forgot, but rather that the space was too small, and he planned to make arrangements after it was expanded in the future.

The temperature inside the tent was around ten degrees Celsius, which was incredibly warm compared to the outside.

Ji Haobo took out a table, and the others helped set up a hot pot. This time, they changed the flavor.

Everything is readily available; all you need to do is add the hot pot base and cook it briefly.

Eating hot pot and drinking wine in the freezing cold has a unique flavor, and everyone's mouth is covered in red oil.

Only Biaozi was on guard outside, drooling with envy. Unfortunately, the hot pot was only so big, not even enough to fill his teeth, so he could only slurp down a pot of delicious stew.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Fatty Wang took a sip of tea and turned to say:

"Brother Bo, what if we still can't find the entrance to the crevice by tomorrow?"

"That place is probably covered by snow. If I can't find it by tomorrow, I'll break off a layer of snow nearby the day after. I don't believe the entrance won't be revealed then."

He had already thought of this plan that afternoon, so Ji Boda wasn't in a hurry.

The others also thought the method was feasible. Of course, this only applies to Ji Haobo. If an ordinary person dared to do this, they would probably be courting death.

After all, not everyone can walk on air and avoid the impact of an avalanche.

Just as everyone finished their tea and were about to go back to their tents to sleep, Biaozi suddenly got up alertly and stared into the darkness.

"What's going on? Is there some kind of threat in this freezing weather?"

Fatty Wang and Old Hu exchanged a glance, both filled with doubt and somewhat baffled.

"It's probably a pack of wolves. I'll go out and take a look."

Ji Haobo frowned, got up and walked out of the tent; the darkness could not block his vision.

On a small hill more than 300 meters away, a giant wolf with white fur stood tall, staring at them with bloodthirsty eyes.

Below it, there were about seventy or eighty gray wolves, quietly approaching the camp.

These guys are all quite big, with a shoulder height of about 1.2 meters.

Not to mention the wolf king on the mountain peak, Ji Haobo estimated that this guy's shoulder height was no less than 1.5 meters, only a little smaller than the old Biaozi, but still somewhat smaller than the current Biaozi.

This guy eats and drinks well every day, and his body has grown two sizes bigger. At this point, his shoulder height is almost two meters.

"Haobo, what's going on outside? Is it really a pack of wolves coming?"

Yang Xueli and the others walked out of the tent. She looked up into the darkness and saw that there were indeed many figures with red body temperature.

"Yes! It is indeed a pack of wolves. Although they are huge, they have no choice but to accept their fate when they encounter us."

Ji Haobo nodded, a cold smile playing on his lips, and patted Biaozi on the shoulder.

"You lazy bum, you need to get some exercise, or you'll turn into a pig. Go on!"

Biaozi couldn't stand being provoked like that, and in order to prove that he was still the king of the forest, he immediately charged towards the wolf pack.

"Bo, release the drone quickly, we also want to see Biaozi in battle."

Laura, sensing that a great show was about to begin, excitedly urged Ji Haobo on.

Not wanting to spoil everyone's fun, he watched as Biaozi, illuminated by the bright light of the drone, made close contact with the alpha wolf ahead.

"Ouch..."

Suddenly, a loud and desolate wolf howl came from the small mountain peak.

That was the wolf king transmitting information about troop deployment to the pack after discovering that his forces had been exposed.

Upon receiving the order, the wolf pack immediately deployed into an encirclement formation and surrounded Biaozi.

However, Biaozi ignored him completely and charged forward like a brute.

With its fan-sized feet, it sent the lead wolf flying seven or eight meters.

Then it opened its mouth and bit the second one, turned around and swung it away, its long tail like a steel whip, lashing down the creature that pounced on it with a whoosh.

"Wow... Biaozi is awesome! His flip, his pounce, his slash—it was all so fluid and graceful, truly breathtaking!"

"It's truly formidable; none of the wolves struck by its attacks were able to get back on their feet."

Biaozi has a significant size advantage, and as a feline, its agility far surpasses that of canines.

Therefore, although the battle was fierce, it was basically one-sided.

"Ow"

The wolf king could no longer sit still; after letting out a howl, it charged down from the hill.

"Holy crap, that guy must be the wolf king, right? He's huge!"

In fact, it wasn't just Fatty Wang who was surprised; everyone else was as well. Laura couldn't help but look at Ji Haobo with a puzzled expression.

"Bo, what breed of wolves are these? Why are they all so big?"

Although there are many breeds of wolves, the largest wolf in the world is only a little over 1.1 meters tall at the shoulder and about 2 meters long, smaller than any of the wolves here, let alone the wolf king.

"I can't say for sure what breed they are, but the reason these guys are so big is because of their bloodline."

Ji Haobo's words made Lao Hu and the others' eyelids twitch. How could this be about bloodline again? It felt like once you had that thing, everything would become incredibly powerful.

"Legend has it that in the Demon Kingdom there was a white-haired giant wolf's demon servant named Crystal Free Mountain. It was the ancestor of all the evil wolves in the snowy region, and these guys in front of us should be its descendants."
