Lu Xingshi looked at the Guard Captain, who had returned with a full haul. This time, the king had not provided currency-type resources, which surprised him somewhat.
But the fact that he had sent food instead made Lu Xingshi even happier.
Food was exactly what he lacked.
After that, there was nothing else. Once the food had been stored away, Lu Xingshi went back to his own affairs.
Using the structure of the Ice and Snow Grievance, he analyzed quite a bit of useful data and developed the corresponding resistance.

As for using it against Winter Wolf, that probably would not work.
This resistance could not even withstand the Ice and Snow Grievance formed by killing the Snow Wolf King, much less Winter Wolf.
Fortunately, Lu Xingshi's goal was not to kill Winter Wolf, but to capture it alive... Well, that was even more difficult.
