Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

Peter Huang didn't say anything, walked away from Uncle Ming, and silently picked up a shovel.

"And what about me?" Shirley Yang asked.

Chapter 107: Nurturing a Fire Soul, Immune to Flames

"You... check the supplies and ammunition, and make preparations for battle," Wu Yutian added.

Wu Yutian was somewhat surprised by the Snow Wolf King's "luring the enemy into a trap" scheme back in Zanggugou.

The tactic of "luring the tiger away from the mountain" is at best a clever trick to launch a sneak attack.

However, "luring the enemy into the trap" requires considerable courage and planning, and the difference between the two is significant.

Afterwards, Wu Yutian, Chu Yi, and Hu Bayi inspected the flare traps they had set up nearby.

After being battered by the blizzard, these traps were buried under the snow, and ordinary people could no longer see any trace of them.

However, wolves have a keen sense of smell, and the group set up traps there, leaving behind many traces.

Wu Yutian felt that with the intelligence of that white-haired snow wolf king, it might not be able to deceive it.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

In Wu Yutian's view, there was no difference; it was just a matter of a few cuts.

Not long after returning to camp, it began to get dark.

Everyone ate something simple to replenish their energy.

The ice walls have been built, but they are not connected; they are built in sections with gaps in between.

This is mainly to provide cover for firing.

If all of them were connected, the workload would be too large, and it would also block the line of sight, making it possible for wolves to get close without being seen.

As night fell, Wu Yutian, Chu Yi, and Hu Bayi kept watch around the campfire.

The wind was strong in the evening, but gradually subsided after nightfall.

However, the snowfall did increase.

The snowflakes were what are known as goose feather snow.

Each snowflake was at least the size of a fingernail, which surprised several northerners who were used to heavy snow.

Wu Yutian sat by the fire, closing his eyes to rest.

While listening to Chu Yi and Hu Bayi chat, he was also checking the bloodline talent that Chu Yi could see in his mind—Quenching.

[Quenching], in essence, is using flames to temper one's own bloodline and power.

All kinds of flames in the world can be absorbed to enhance one's own power.

This is a core capability.

Comparatively speaking, Wu Yutian values ​​the other additional abilities of this bloodline talent more—and these additional abilities are not just one.

The simplest is fire immunity.

From then on, fire in the world posed virtually no threat to him.

Secondly, after Wu Yutian's body absorbs the flames to a certain extent, his own "fire soul" will gradually be formed in his bloodline.

The description of the "Fire Soul" in the bloodline inheritance is very vague.

That seemed to be another powerful ability within the bloodline, related to the core ability of the sacred beast bloodline.

However, even a flame of the level of Boundless Karmic Fire is far from enough for his bloodline to give birth to a "Fire Soul".

Therefore, Wu Yutian can only hold onto his hopes for this ability for the time being.

However, he did know before he transmigrated that there was another kind of flame in the world of tomb raiding.

This refers to the "dragon fire" that originates from the dragon veins of the South China Sea.

Based on his own speculation, this "dragon fire" must be even more powerful than this "immeasurable karmic fire".

In any case, this "immeasurable karmic fire" is merely a flame attached to the body of the Dapu Ghost Worm.

But "dragon fire" is a rare and wondrous phenomenon born of nature.

The two are incomparable in terms of the basic conditions for their existence alone.

Its inherent quality and potential are self-evident.

Dragon fire is definitely much more powerful than this boundless karmic fire.

However, thinking about these things now is too far off.

He hasn't reached the Nine-Story Demon Tower yet. He should first cross the Kunlun Dragon Peak and get the mission rewards he's entitled to before considering anything else.

The flames crackled before his eyes, and Wu Yutian slowly opened them.

At that moment, Chu Yi was holding a yak horn wine pot and taking a sip of wine.

Hu Bayi had already fallen asleep by the fire, leaning on his gun.

As soon as she saw him wake up, she was about to hand him the Qi Ningke she was holding.

But before he could speak, Wu Yutian made a shushing gesture.

He heard an unusual noise—and judging by the time, it was about time.

The first-year students immediately tensed up.

"Wake them up, the wolf is coming!"

Wu Yutian remained calm and composed, speaking in a steady tone.

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment.

Having set the trap, the absence of any sound from the surroundings indicated that the wolf pack had not yet made a move.

But why was Wu Yutian so certain?

Just as she was about to ask, seeing Wu Yutian's determined eyes, Chu Yi immediately chose to believe him.

I put aside my doubts.

Everyone was gradually woken up.

Wu Yutian pulled the trigger of the signal gun in his hand.

Whoosh!

A blinding light rose above the camp.

It illuminated a large area around the campsite.

In just over an hour, a layer of snow more than half a meter thick had accumulated around the area.

Not far away, in the thick layer of snow, there were straight snow tracks that were moving towards the camp at a relatively slow speed.

The wolf pack actually bypassed the flare trap set by Chu Yi and his friends, and slowly crept in!

"boom!"

The fat man fired the first shot, thus beginning the battle.

The group, who were already prepared for battle, immediately began firing.

Fortunately, Wu Yutian discovered it in time; the closest wolves were still more than fifty meters away.

The heavy snow concealed the wolf pack's sounds and tracks, but it also hindered their charge.

At this moment, these dozens of wolves on the snow were like live targets, and the sharpshooters could hit them every time.

Strangely, they knew perfectly well that the "sneak attack" had failed and the operation had been exposed.

They even charged forward, disregarding their own safety.

However, Wu Yutian didn't even need to lift a finger; Chu Yi and the others drew their swords and killed the wolves that were closest to them in just a few strokes.

Wu Yutian didn't even touch a sword or knife from beginning to end.

The wolf pack's "night raid" ended in failure.

No one even realized it was a crisis; everyone was quite relaxed.

"These beasts, they even dare to launch night raids?! Bah!" The fat man spat at the wolf carcass beside him.

Hu Bayi patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, you were still sleeping in the tent when they came up here."

"I...I trusted our soldiers implicitly back then, right? Chu Yi, little brother!" The fat man gestured with his chin toward Chu Yi.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yi shook his head and looked at Wu Yutian to the side, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

“These wolves are more cunning than I imagined. They didn’t trigger the flare traps we set. Wu Yutian discovered the traces of the wolves.”

Everyone was momentarily taken aback.

To be honest, Wu Yutian's performance along the way had already won everyone over.

However, Wu Yutian's ability to discover the wolf pack's tracks earlier than Chu Yi still surprised them greatly.

"No, Brother Tian, ​​how did you find out?" the fat man asked from the side.

At a distance of over fifty meters, the sound of snow was almost nonexistent, and the tracks were hidden by darkness, with the blizzard further obscuring visibility...
