Jiujiu carried them flying, and it was almost dark when they still hadn't reached their destination.

Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong behind him, "Is it going to take us to the Shangnan Canyon?"

Wu Jiong: "It looks like it."

Jian Mo: "Strange, there don't seem to be any large wild animals over in the Shangnan Canyon."

In winter, it's cold here, the vegetation outside is mostly withered, and food is scarce.

The herbivores had long since migrated away, and the carnivores, lacking food, followed them in their migration.

There are really few wild animals outside now.

Wu Jiong narrowed his eyes. "It might not be a wild animal."

Jian Mo: "Oh no, it can't be a beastman, let alone a wild beast? Who's so irresponsible as to bully a Flying-Winged Beast?"

Wu Jiong: "Who knows? Maybe that orc didn't expect Jiujiu to come back and complain."

Jian Mo was stunned. "You can do that?"

As darkness fell, Jiujiu flapped its wings vigorously, trying to fly faster.

After flying for quite a while, Jian Mo could see the Shangnan Canyon below.

The Pink-Tube Flower haven't faded yet, and below is a sea of flowers, where a giant polar bear is lying with its legs crossed.

He looked extremely content, and what made it even more so was that he was eating something.

Just as Jian Mo was trying to get a better look, the polar bear took the thing out of its mouth, scooped it up with its huge paw, grabbed a handful of Pink-Tube Flower, stuffed them into its mouth and chewed them, then put the thing it had taken out of its mouth back in.

Perhaps because the Pink-Tube Flower was a bit intoxicating, the polar bear was a little slow to react, squinting as it chewed for a while, not even noticing them getting close.

Jian Mo could see very clearly that the piece of candy he took out and put into his mouth was the nut candy made by their family.

Sitting on Jiujiu's back, Wu Jiong asked, "Are you from the Ice River Tribe?"

Hearing the noise, the polar bear sat up abruptly, blinking its relatively small eyes as it stared in shock at the sky above.

Having confirmed his suspicions, Wu Jiong asked, "How did people from your Ice River Tribe get here?"

The Shangnan Canyon is located between the Riverside Tribe and the Dianxin Tribe, and one corner of it is connected to the Mengshui Tribe, but it has nothing to do with the Ice River Tribe.

The polar bear jolted awake and sat up abruptly. "Chief Wu Jiong?"

Wu Jiong patted the Jiujiu and made it land, then sized up the giant polar bear. "Did you steal the Flying-Winged Beast's candy?"

The polar bear stammered, "I... I... I... it, I don't know."

Wu Jiong: "Don't know? There aren't any candies with nuts like this in the wild. Tell me, shall we fight or pay compensation?"

The polar bear gulped down the candy in its mouth, looking left and right, but not daring to look at Wu Jiong and Jian Mo.

With someone backing her up, Jiujiu couldn't hold back any longer. She bounced around behind Wu Jiong and Jian Mo, loudly protesting, "Qiuhou!"

It seemed to be shouting at the top of its lungs that the bear had stolen its candy.

The polar bear heard the Jiujiu sound and looked at it angrily.

Seeing this, Jian Mo couldn't hold back any longer and rolled up his sleeves, ready to argue.

Wu Jiong tore open his animal skin robe, transforming into a giant white wolf, and charged directly at the polar bear.

The polar bear, at its peak size and even larger than the giant wolf, saw the wolf charging and, without hesitation, raised its paws to meet it.

He underestimated the giant wolf's fighting power. The giant wolf dodged his bear claws and directly kicked with its legs and tore at him with its teeth.

In just a few rounds, the giant bear had a wound on its head, and blood flowed down, staining its fur red.

Apart from its snow-white fangs being stained with bear blood, the giant wolf was unharmed and appeared to have plenty of energy. Its attack speed not only did not slow down, but actually increased.

The polar bear howled as it was bitten.

Jiujiu, looking delighted as if she had finally gotten her revenge, jumped around behind Jian Mo, chirping excitedly.

Jian Mo turned to look at it. "Stop jumping."

Jiujiu couldn't resist jumping twice more before squatting down, only verbally cheering, "Jiujiu!"

The polar bear quickly couldn't hold on any longer and fled in terror, yelling, "Awooo! Stop hitting me! I'm leaving!"

The giant wolf stared at him with chilling eyes. "You've trespassed into our territory, bullied our pets, and you think you can just leave?"

The polar bear protected its head with its paws and ran forward as fast as it could. "Well, what else do you want? We've already fought! I didn't really bully it much; I only chased it away for your sake!"

Giant wolf. "Then steal its candy?"

Polar Bear: "It stole my Pink-Tube Flower first!"

At first, Jiujiu didn't understand, but after seeing the polar bear's look, Jiujiu seemed to finally get it, and indignantly jumped up again. "Jiujiu chirp chirp!"

Jian Mo helped translate. "Jiujiu so timid, she wouldn't steal your Pink-Tube Flower."

Jiujiu couldn't tell if what was said was a compliment or not, but since its owner was speaking up for it, it agreed and shouted, "Jiujiu!"

Giant Wolf: "This is Riverside Tribe territory. You, a bear from the Ice River Tribe, dare to come here and accuse Riverside Tribe's pet of stealing your Pink-Tube Flower?"

The polar bear couldn't fight back or outrun the bear, so it could only pounce on the ground, clutching its head and sticking out its rear end, and said dejectedly, "So what do you want to do?"

Giant Wolf: "Pay me Flying-Winged Beast Candy."

Polar Bear: "Why don't you just kill me? I didn't."

The giant wolf narrowed its eyes and took a few more bites without any hesitation.

The polar bear howled as it was bitten. "Fine, fine, I'll pay, I'll pay with a whole bagful, okay?"

Giant Wolf: "And an apology."

Polar Bear: "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have come to your territory, and I shouldn't have stolen your Pink-Tube Flower and candy!"

Giant Wolf: "You stole the Flying-Winged Beast's candy."

The polar bear understood and said dejectedly, "Then let go of my claws, and I'll apologize to the Flying-Winged Beast."

The giant wolf glanced at him and then released its paw.

The polar bear slowly got up and walked up to the Flying-Winged Beast: "I'm sorry, I won't steal your things again next time."
