1026 Tes (1/2)

The Endless Mountains was an area in the Hundred Thousand Mountains within the Flybarb tribe's sphere of influence.

”It's unlikely they'll leave us for dead since it's just a test for those at the early Predatory realm. We are all future elites and the vitality of the tribe!”

Fang Yuan wore beast skin clothes, carried a bamboo basket, and held a saber in his hand as he walked through the jungle.

”After awakening the totem, our physical fitness improved, and we no longer need to fear ordinary wild beasts… We will develop our own totems through constantly killing beasts and seizing their bloodlines and spirit essences in the Endless Mountains! This is the Predatory realm!”

He recalled the previous lessons. ”I will be able to enter the mid Predatory realm once I accumulate to a certain extent, and I can then display some of the abilities of the totem… This is also the tribe's requirement—returning only when we reach the mid-stage!

”But I feel that this method is a bit stupid. We don't even have a technique to cultivate the power of the totem… It's all based on external forces!”

Fang Yuan felt some regret.

If his realm were still there, it would be very easy to create some techniques based on his totem.

Unfortunately, this was a totally different universe with different nomological rules. He did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary in fear that he might damage his body's natural source. If that happened, then he would have no one to blame but himself.

Unless… he managed to find hundreds of experimental subjects to test whatever he wanted on!

Sha Sha!

Just then, the nearby trees rustled.

”Hmm?” Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and saw a black shadow. ”An ordinary wolf? No, it seems to be a banished wolf king!”

There were also hierarchies within wolf packs. The fate awaiting a defeated wolf king was either death or banishment.

This old wolf with emerald eyes might be wounded at the moment, but it was still gritting its teeth and very tough.

”Kill!” He struck an attack posture.

”Ahwhoooo!” The old lone wolf stepped aside and leaped violently in reflex.

”This wolf has an iron head and a tofu waist!”

Fang Yuan's eyes flashed coldly. The result was set when this old wolf was confused by his killing intent and lost the first move.

He raised his saber. ”Chopping Wood!”

Bang!

A cold light flashed. A huge wound appeared on the old wolf's waist, and blood poured out.

Fang Yuan hopped a few steps away and watched the old wolf fall to the ground, bleeding out.

”Bloodline? And spirit essence?”

Through his totem, he could feel something different in this old wolf whose life was quickly slipping away.

”Now, if I use the technique that Brutal Thunder taught, I can let my totem absorb the spirit essence…”

He shook his head without doing anything.

”Regardless of whether its bloodline or spirit essence, the most taboo is to absorb indiscriminately and conflicting attributes… My clam totem is the water element and illusion oriented. It isn't compatible with this old wolf at all. Although I can still absorb it, it will inevitably cause some issues later!”

This reasoning was something he comprehended himself.

After all, Flybarb was only a small tribe without any great inheritance. Perhaps even the high priest did not know about this.

But just how powerful was Fang Yuan's knowledge? He instantly found out about this little secret of the Predatory realm. ”Since it's the cultivation of spirit essence and bloodline, it's best to kill beasts more suitable for my totem. For me, it would be water beasts or mutated beasts inclined toward psyche and illusions. Only then can my totem be more perfect!

”Even though neither the high priest nor Brutal Thunder mentioned it, I am confident that my theory is right. It's not much of a loss for me even if it isn't!”

He left the wolf corpse and started toward a river.

”The beasts of this world are powerful… and the variety and density are amazing!”

Before long, Fang Yuan arrived at the river and started fishing.

He took out a piece of wolf meat, tied it to a branch, and suspended it over the river.

Blood dripped, immediately attracting a large creature.

Splash!

Water splashed, and a black shadow leaped out, exposing sharp fangs that latched onto the wolf meat.

”Great!”

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he swung fiercely.

A huge resistance came, but it still lost to Fang Yuan and was thrown ashore.

Smack!

It was a giant fish half the size of a human. It had black scales, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth, convincing Fang Yuan that it could definitely bite off an adult's fist in one go.

”Sawtooth fish! One of the fiercer species!”

He took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward while looking at the fish flopping on the ground and trying to return to the river.

”Cutting Wind!”

The saber turned into a stream of light, chopping at the fish's head.

Smack!
