Chapter 197: Gift from the Heavens (For Alliance Hierarch Youmeng Xingkong, additional 1/2)
For the current Lin Su, there was one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news was that the item given to him by Lu Ziye should indeed be real.
The bad news was, despite having obtained the item, he had no way to use it.
After placing the sheepskin scroll inside the Space Ring, Lin Su looked towards Lu Ziye with an unfriendly gaze.
"Swindler!"
Lu Ziye coughed lightly and touched his nose, "My friend, every word I said was the truth, how can you call me a swindler..."
"Lu Ziye, isn't it? I'll remember you," Lin Su said, giving the other a pointed look before turning and walking away.
Five thousand Mixed Element Stones for that sheepskin scroll wasn't a loss. On the contrary, he even made a bit of profit.
However, the fact that the kid had played him still left him feeling quite annoyed.
After obtaining the map of the place of ice elemental rules, Lin Su lost interest in continuing his stroll.
He quickly left the trading area, his eyes flickering with an indescribable light, and he started heading towards a more secluded area filled with many ancient empty houses.
After walking for a while, he stopped and calmly said, "Come out!"
No sooner had he spoken than movements quickly occurred around him.
"Not bad, you're quite vigilant," two figures emerged, one of them chuckling, "But do you perhaps have too much confidence in your own strength? Coming to such a desolate place on your own, do you think you can kill us in retaliation?"
A flicker passed through Lin Su's eyes.
Of the two men before him, one had vigorous Yuan power fluctuations emanating from his body, suggesting he was at the fourth layer of the Nayuan Realm.
As for the other...
He was distinctly a Beast Tamer.
"I'm in a hurry," Lin Su said, his hand resting on Qiuqiu as he spoke calmly, "Let's end this quickly; I want to go back to sleep."
In the horrified gazes of the two men, his momentum ascended together with the light blue Cooperation Light shining forth.
...
"Not bad, I've earned back all the Mixed Element Stones I spent today," Lin Su chuckled while toying with the two Space Rings in his hand, eyeing the two unfortunate stripped men, "You've robbed quite a few others for all these Mixed Element Stones, haven't you?"
"Listen up," he casually patted the shoulders of the two men, "I can find the two of you anytime. If I hear any rumors detrimental to me in Minghan City... you're dead!"
The two men trembled violently and shook their heads fiercely, "We wouldn't dare!"
Satisfied with their response, Lin Su vanished on the spot like a shadow.
Leaving behind the two men trembling with fear.
Although he couldn't keep the matter of the Guardian Beast Co-operation hidden forever.
Delaying it for even a moment was worthwhile.
As for the two guys who had attempted to rob him...
He had turned the tables and robbed them instead, which was quite enough.
Lin Su wasn't someone who relished killing.
He gave them a chance to continue robbing others; after some time, if these two fattened up, he might be able to pluck them once more.
That was the true essence of robbery.
After a tearful yet profitable haul, Lin Su didn't linger and quickly returned to his ancient house.
At that moment, Yan Susen had not yet returned.
Lin Su swiftly summoned Qiuqiu from the Beast Taming Space.
During the time he browsed the trading area, it had completely recovered.
"Meow, Meow? (ᓀωᓂ)" (Little brother, did you protect Lin Su well in my absence?)
Qiuqiu, fully revived, nudged the nearby Qiuqiu.
"Screech, Screech! (◯‸◯)" (Piece of cake, we even managed to rob together!)
Ghost rolled its eyes, unhappy at being underestimated by the "big brother."
"Meow?! (°ω°)" (Robbery?!)
Qiuqiu was shocked!
How vexing!
To have missed out on such an interesting event!
"Screech! (。⊙‿⊙。)" (We also found a map of a place of ice elemental rules!)
Ghost stood with hands on hips, wearing an expression that screamed "Praise me! Praise me!"
"Meow?! (。✪ω✪。)" (A place of ice elemental rules?!)
Qiuqiu's eyes lit up instantly.
It was well aware that the Spirit Ruins Pond was a place of rules.
And now such a place of ice elemental rules would doubtlessly be of great help!
Perhaps, this was the opportunity for its next evolution!
"Meow? Meow! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ" (Where is it? I want to see the map!)
"The map is here," Lin Su said, shaking his head helplessly as he took out the sheepskin scroll from the Space Ring and spread it out on the table.
This was the first time he saw the detailed situation of the map, and upon inspection, Lin Su's expression turned strange.
"Huh?" He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Lin Su had thought that this place of ice elemental rules was located in another region of the battlefield of the geniuses, but it turned out to be in the western part of the battlefield.
Although it was still a thousand li away from him, it was considered close.
"Meow? (๑ŏωŏ๑)" (Where are we right now?)
Qiuqiu blinked, its face showing confusion.
"We're here. Minghan City is where we are now," Lin Su pointed at the ancient city marked on the map.
Qiuqiu didn't know as it had rested in the Beast Taming Space earlier.
"Meow! (。òωó。)" (It doesn't seem far away!)
Qiuqiu's eyes brightened, its face filled with anticipation as it gave Lin Su a pitiable look.

Lin Su gave a wry smile and rubbed Qiuqiu's head, "I also want to take you there, but we can't enter this place of rules, even if we find it."
"Meow?! (≖ω≖)" (Why not?!)
Qiuqiu seemed struck by lightning, its pupils shaking.
"This place of rules requires a key to enter, and there are nine keys in total scattered across the battlefield of the geniuses," Lin Su sighed, "Considering the vastness of the battlefield of the geniuses, finding a single key would be..."
