Chapter 719: Civilization Ladder Shaken, Major Event, Ancestor of the Wolf Clan - Old Dog

【Greenfield the Finest: Incredible, absolutely incredible. Just a while ago, a large number of players from the Bloodlands on the Civilization Ladder suddenly died. This has caused a massive uproar on the Civilization Ladder channel.】

【Greenfield the Finest: At that moment, I also sensed a violent tremor in the Spiritual Dimension. Now the people in our organization are suspecting that the deaths of the Bloodlands players are related to this tremor.】

On the virtual light screen, Greenfield sent her first-hand intelligence to Yu Yuan.

Her words were filled with the excitement of someone watching a show and grabbing popcorn.

"Deaths of Bloodlands players?"

Yu Yuan, who had already recovered through Absinthe's Life Pool, was briefly stunned, then quickly understood.

It must be because of the False Snake of Rebirth's self-destruction.

When the False Snake of Rebirth self-destructed, it concentrated the main explosive energy on Blood Duke's clone and the Bloodline River.

At that time, the Bloodline River suffered a break in flow and violent tremors, and the impact on the Bloodline River was enormous.

Especially since the Bloodsucking Werewolf phantom had taken the opportunity to plunder nearly one-tenth of the Bloodline River's share, making things even worse.

The players from the Bloodlands must have been affected because of this.

It was somewhat of an unintentional act.

It's just...

【Wolf Den · King: Your organization? You mean the people of the Star Track Cult have all sensed the change in the Spiritual Dimension?】

【Greenfield the Finest: Of course! It's not just our cult. Basically all players above Silver Rank felt it. This tremor in the Spiritual Dimension is unprecedented.

I also tried to prophesize the truth behind this incident, but all I saw was chaos. It even tried to backlash against the prophet. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and cut off the prophecy in time. Otherwise, my spirituality would have been damaged by now.】

Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good. The fluctuations caused by the battle between two beings above Gold should be enough to hide the truth of the matter."

Yu Yuan quickly reviewed the operation. Although the Bloodsucking Werewolf phantom's sudden summoning of the Spiritual Dimension and the Bloodline River had created a considerable crisis.

It could also be considered a blessing in disguise. Not only did he successfully seize one-tenth of the Bloodline River's share, but he also turned the Snake of Rebirth and the Blood Duke into hostile parties.

That was the greatest gain of all.

Yu Yuan felt immensely fortunate. This time, he owed it all to the Celestial Phenomenon - False Star, and also to the fact that he possessed a sliver of the Snake of Rebirth's soul will.

That was how he managed to survive this crisis by the skin of his teeth.

As the saying goes, the bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish. Great wealth comes from taking risks.

The gains this time were truly unprecedented.

The greatest gain was naturally the psychic ability stolen from Blood Duke, the Transdimensional · Blood Sea Abyss Descent.

This was Blood Duke's most powerful psychic ability, evident from the prefix alone.

This would also become Yu Yuan's greatest trump card, bar none.

He had already made up his mind that unless he encountered a being above Gold, he would keep this psychic ability tightly under wraps until death.

The second gain was naturally the memory obtained after casting Diagnosis: Amnesia on Blood Duke.

It was a memory about a coordinate point, and the location of this coordinate point was actually in the New World.

Concerning the New World, a coordinate point that Blood Duke had defined as a secret/hidden location naturally held extraordinary value.

Unfortunately, in the memory, Yu Yuan only saw a scene of geographical features. However, there were several distinctive places that were enough to serve as landmark coordinates.

As long as Yu Yuan saw them, he would recognize them instantly.

As for the third gain...

Yu Yuan's gaze fell upon the containment box in front of him, where a lump of scarlet blood flashing with golden light, resembling a gelatinous substance, was stored.

The location he was in now was the core containment area of the Legendary Creature Living Organ Vault.

That is, the area with only five core containment stations.

Previously, the Soul-Stealing Tentacle had been contained and imprisoned here.

Jiu Feng stood before the instrument, completing the final inspection. He turned to look at Yu Yuan and let out a long breath.

"Leader, the inspection is complete. This blood mass has been isolated and contained. Even if it is blood dropped by Blood Duke himself, there is absolutely no way it can be sensed or tracked."

As the highest authority manager of the civilization relic, Yu Yuan naturally knew that Jiu Feng was absolutely correct.

When this Legendary Creature Living Organ Vault was first built, Mortarian had already considered the problem of isolating the connections between biological organs. And relying on his biological civilization technology, isolating this kind of connection between organisms was simply too easy.

"Increase the security here by another level. Only you and I can approach the core area. Nothing can happen to it, absolutely nothing."

"Rest assured, Leader. I will personally handle the arrangements."

Jiu Feng naturally understood the importance of this matter.

Leaving the Legendary Creature Living Organ Vault, Yu Yuan saw the final gain of this incident.

Hogg.

At this moment, Hogg was on the open ground, red flames burning on his body as he attempted to control them.

"Hogg, how do you feel?"

The flames dispersed, and Hogg shook his head slightly.

"Still hasn't reached the expected effect. Although I seized the Bloodline River, my control over it is very slow and not yet complete.

My flame control is a bit stronger than before, but it's still limited."

"Not complete." Yu Yuan's eyes flickered with thought, then he looked at the fang pendant on Hogg's chest.

"Is it..."

Just as he was about to say something.

A message from Quis suddenly came through.

【Quis: Leader, Lian from the Myriad Nations Bathhouse told me someone wants to see you!】

Yu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Lian..." His heartbeat quickened slightly, and a guess flashed through his mind.

【Wolf Den · King: Who?】

【Quis: She said his name is... Old Dog.】

-

Dead Mine Town, Myriad Nations Bathhouse.

Yu Yuan walked naked into the hot spring bath area.

Clouds of mist swirled, fog drifted hazily, and the light and shadows were dim.

Someone was already soaking in the hot spring.

His arms rested on the pool edge on both sides, his head tilted back with a white towel covering his face.

"Your bathhouse isn't bad!" A faint voice sounded.

Yu Yuan also entered the hot spring, his movements natural and relaxed: "That's all thanks to you for not holding a grudge against me."

"Pfft, you really have nerves of steel!" Old Dog removed the towel from his head, revealing his sharp, chiseled, angular face.

And those wolf-king-like eyes, proud and weathered.

His gaze toward Yu Yuan carried scrutiny, probing, appreciation, and a hint of complex meaning that was different.

Yu Yuan met Old Dog's gaze without flinching or fear, showing only calmness and ease.

As if the one sitting across from him was not a great being above Gold, but just an ordinary old friend.

Yu Yuan didn't speak. His right hand waved, and Shadow Manipulation sent a glass of wine that had already been poured not far away, floating over to Old Dog.

"Nothing to do about it. When the road is blocked, you find a way around. For me, only by fighting and striving can I survive smoothly."

"When the road is blocked, you find a way around..." Old Dog let out a light chuckle.

He looked at the wine in his hand, smelled the fragrance emanating from it, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

"Yes. Those words... I haven't heard them in a very long time."

Then he looked at Yu Yuan, a hint of warning in his eyes.

"Boy, you're playing with fire right now. Do you know that?"
