"Rebirth?"

Ji Jue was slightly taken aback: "Does the Rebirth Rank truly represent the An Family in their affairs? Is that really enough?"

"Barely, perhaps. After all, the Desert Market isn't solely about fighting and killing; dealing with people and complex relationships is inevitable. Anyway, at home, it's mostly just running errands and delivering messages for my uncles and aunts," An Ning sighed. "Generally, when facing the Boss's judgment, most people are quite sensible. Those who aren't are mostly brainless fools; it's actually rare to get into real fights.

Besides, even if I can't win, I can always call my uncles for help!"

"Indeed."

Ji Jue nodded, deeply in agreement.

Among the numerous absolute skills in the world, calling for reinforcements surely ranks at T0; no matter the time, having friends and family to back you up makes doing things more assertive.

"I just thought you might be transcendent."

"Transcendent at seventeen within the An Family? Ji Jue, you're quite bold to think so! This isn't a few hundred years ago!"

An Ning lamented, "These days, there are too few 'wolves' to hunt worthy of it; just a handful a year, barely enough for the claw and fang lines, we even have to compete for them each time. Those old men, they don't care about the young ones, eating and hoarding shamelessly!"

The four lines of scales, horns, claws, and fangs indeed align more closely with the essence of the White Deer, yet they are equally stringent in their requisites, each in their own way.

Just like how critical job positions naturally have higher KPI demands.

Even ignoring the often broken lineage of horns and scales, the families granted the claw and fang represent the self-purification mechanism of the wasteland; aspiring for promotion isn't something achieved by just hunting a few wild cats or dogs.

The true heavyweight trophy is certainly the unborn cursed offspring of the White Deer!

According to An Ning, when the previous generation's Sacrificial King of the Central Earth White Country was corrupted by craving wolf blood, the entire White Deer lineage, from the Federation, Thousand Island Central Earth, and the Empire, participated, even bringing children as young as seven or eight; lacking wolves but abundant in people, they had to grab whatever they could eat.

The current Family Head of the An Family also gained promotion to the Heavenly People due to the hunt at that time.

Unfortunately, such 'prosperity' is hard to encounter; since then, wolves corrupted have faded into obscurity, hiding everywhere, refusing to show up.

"Ji Jue, considering how supportive I am of you, this time you must help me fish out a few more!" An Ning encouraged, full of anticipation, "We really need to strive hard!"

"Strive, my foot." Ji Jue rolled his eyes, "In this desolate wilderness, where are you finding wolves to kill?"

"There are."

An Ning grinned, gazing out at the snowy plains and into the far vast darkness.

Just like a monster in the forest can always detect the hunter's presence, the hunter has already sensed the aura of the prey lingering in the darkness!

Full of patience for hibernation, coupled with the fervent anticipation, the savage combat of claws and fangs is not far away.

She could hardly wait.

However, before that...

Her body suddenly tensed, eyes lowering as the fine hairs on her arms stood upright, prickling with goosebumps: "Something's not right, Ji Jue, turn!

Head west—"

Turn?

At this time, doing what? There's a cliff right beside!

Ji Jue heard, bewildered, unable to comprehend, yet... without hesitation or thought, yanked the steering wheel hard, amidst a shrill and sharp sound, the small cattle car plowed a curved mark through the wilderness, completed the turn, and then accelerated!

Infused with spiritual essence and bolstered by the Mechanical Descent, breaking through its limits, accelerating again.

This way, it leapt and fell, roaring across a drop of several meters. It was almost as if mad, following An Ning's guidance, deviating from the original path, moving down along the steep slope, rolling several times before getting back upright, landing amidst dizzying spins.

BOOM!!!

A loud noise erupted from afar as the thick ice cracked, collapsing, sliding down from the ridge, like a surging tide, racing down, raging across the snowy plains.

Yet the sound of cracking didn't cease.

Not just the distant avalanche, but the tremors on the ground were becoming increasingly intense.

As if it was an unannounced earthquake.

Right then, a helicopter filming from above the distant skies suddenly changed direction, swiftly gaining altitude, almost stalling, yet simultaneously, not forgetting to launch warning flares.

Strings of white smoke and red light twinkled as they slowly fell, illuminating not just this place, but even further skies, staining the gloomy clouds in vivid crimson.

Very soon, Ji Jue saw it.

At the edge of the horizon, beyond the vague mountain range, pale colors gradually rose, piece by piece, stretching into a line, magnifying, expanding, growing even larger—

The ghastly white hue resembled an oceanic tide roaring its way, flooding everywhere, advancing overwhelmingly, swallowing up the land and mountains entirely, then throwing countless rocks, ice blocks, and all trivial things into the sky, devouring them...

Compared to that vast and grand sight, the vehicles amidst the wilderness were so tiny they could hardly be considered even dust.

The storm is coming!
