1027 Three-Tailed (1/2)
The temptation of a mutated beast could not sway Fang Yuan since he had determined his own path.
He walked along the river, found a few suitable places, and started his fishing plan.
”Although sea beasts would be better, there really aren't any suitable conditions here, so I have to make do with water beasts!”
Fang Yuan stayed by the riverside, fished sawtooth fish, and absorbed their bloodline and spirit essences.
Of course, such actions had occasional dangers.
For example, the bloody smell of the sawtooth fish had attracted the mutated beast 'eight-legged crocodile', the overlord in shallow waters, scaring Fang Yuan into fleeing.
Some stronger water beasts forced Fang Yuan to do everything possible before finally relying on Splashing Wind to kill it.
Finally, that night.
The moon hung brightly overhead.
Fang Yuan was sitting cross-legged in a cave, with his totem looming behind him.
A blood aura overflowed and finally made the clam totem more solid.
”Mid Predatory realm, done!”
He opened his eyes in excitement.
At this stage, Totem Cultivation was finally no longer just nourishing his body, but it could mobilize some strength.
”Totem Possession!”
Fang Yuan shouted, and the totem entered his body, leaving a black pattern around his eyes and a shell mark in between the eyebrows.
”The clam totem causes no improvement in speed and strength, and the only ability is 'Illusion'. Of course, resistance toward other illusions and psyche attacks have improved as well.”
He raised his hand and released blobs of fog.
Like mirages, illusions emerged and continued to solidify with the movement of his fingers.
In the end, Dark, Moon, Strain, Tiger, and so on appeared as though they were real.
”It's more difficult to simulate the strong pressure that Brutal Thunder and Brutal Bones have!”
Fang Yuan rubbed his brows and deactivated the totem's power.
He was definitely at the grandmaster-level in the manipulation of illusions, and he was even more powerful now that he had obtained the totem's Illusion ability.
”I can return to the tribe since I'm at the mid stage. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to that blood fish!”
The blood fish had forced Fang Yuan to go all out against it. It ranked the top among the wild beasts and was not far from becoming a mutated beast.
It had been very dangerous, but there were many benefits after killing it. Therefore, Fang Yuan had taken a shorter time than expected to complete his breakthrough.
”When I use only water element spirit essences and bloodlines to breakthrough, the clam totem seems more solid and consumes less energy?”
Fang Yuan rubbed his chin. He did not have a suitable comparison, so he could only roughly deduce relying on his impression.
Fang Yuan met a few unexpected people on the way back to the tribe the next day.
”You are… Moon?” He smiled and greeted the girl in front of him. ”I changed my name. Call me Fang Yuan!”
”Hehe… I heard about it from Strain!” Moon stepped forward.
She had the jade rabbit totem and had potential second only to Dark within the group.
Not only that, but she was first in beauty as well. Her eyes were large, and her leather clothes showcased her white thighs, giving her an air of wild seduction.
”What happened?”
Looking at the two young men behind her, Fang Yuan immediately realized something.
”I've separated from Dark!” Moon said. ”Everyone pooled their all and finally managed to kill the brute bull, but he turned on the spot and refined the brute bull all for himself, leaving not even a single drop for us!”
”After all, It is a mutated beast and a huge attraction to him. A third-grade totem requires a lot more bloodline power and spirit essences!” Fang Yuan shrugged but was laughing inwardly. Dark was a young man after all. He was shrewd but not much since he had made such a mistake.
He would deduct points for this if he were a secret observer.
How could he gather the hearts of people as part of the higher echelon if he could not deal with others fairly, even on the surface?
Everything was a pretense under huge benefits, but for the sake of merely a brute bull… Fang Yuan could only say that his vision was too shallow!
”Hmph! Don't we need it as well? Everyone spent half a month doing it, and Big Sis Moon didn't even get anything!”
”And that Dark brought a few subordinates and started to hunt everything rapidly. They even stole our prey! I heard they're going to advance soon!” said the two young men behind Moon indignantly.
The more advanced a totem was, the more it required to advance.
If Fang Yuan were to absorb the brute bull, he could have immediately advanced to the mid-stage.
However, it had only satisfied half the requirement for Dark, so he needed to continue hunting.
