1028 Conflic (1/2)
Bang!
A tigon fell to the ground.
Dark stepped forward and gave the final strike with an ice-cold expression.
”Bloodline seal! Absorb spirit essence!”
He devoured all the traces of bloodline power and spirit essence, leaving nothing for the others.
Roar!
His horned dragon totem emerged behind him, perfecting itself before submerging into his body.
”Mid-stage!” The youths cheered and applauded. ”After this, with Boss's help, we'll definitely reach his level in no time!”
This was Dark's condition in exchange for being able to order them. They would focus their strength to help him evolve his totem first, and then he would help his subordinates in return.
”Boss!” At this moment, the underbrush was pushed aside, and Strain quickly ran over. ”I've discovered Moon and the rest's trail. They're with Fang Yuan and preparing to hunt a three-tailed spiritual fox.”
”All right. Let's head over there now!” Dark's eyes lit up. ”With another mutated beast, maybe I can directly enter the late Predatory realm during the test!”
These youths exchanged glances with each other in silence before Tiger stepped and stammered, ”But… Boss, we agreed that the next prey would be ours…”
Bang!
The moment he said that, a fist sent him flying to the ground.
”I meant ordinary wild beasts! Any mutated beast is mine!” Dark had a dangerous glow in his eyes. ”I have a horned dragon totem, and all of you are my underlings in the future. How dare you not listen to my commands?”
”I don't dare!”
All the other youths kept quiet, evidently slightly regretful.
”So what are you waiting for? Don't worry. The fur of the three-tailed spiritual fox will be yours!”
Dark quickly turned around and entered the jungle.
…
”This Dark…” On a treetop, Brutal Thunder was hiding in the dark and shaking his head silently. ”His temperament isn't good, and he seems incapable of being tolerant toward others. Additionally, he lacks the impartialness and prestige that is essential for a leader, so he can't become the tribal leader in the future. However… he can work toward becoming the strongest bloodline warrior!”
In the Flybarb tribe, strength truly did determine most issues.
Therefore, no matter how unbearable someone was, as long as they possessed a superior totem, there was value in training them. ”These youngsters are about to converge soon? Great! With Brutal Arrow, there's less pressure on me as well!”
There were traces of indifference in Brutal Thunder's eyes.
In fact, even if these youths, excluding Moon and Dark, died in front of him, he would not intervene because this was the rule set by High Priest Brutal Bones!
Only under the stimulation of death would the strongest bloodline warriors emerge.
However, if Fang Yuan were here, he would be able to guess part of the reason.
As a result of their totem's heterogeneous absorption, it was incredibly difficult for ordinary bloodline warriors to advance further, and they had to undergo trials of life and death to polish and strengthen themselves.
…
Under the three-peak mountain.
A bright red fruit lay on the grass, exuding an astonishing fragrance.
Gulp!
Even Youjie and Qi could not help swallowing their saliva. ”Fragrant! This fruit is simply too fragrant! Just smelling it makes me hungry…”
”Be careful! I don't have a second one!” Moon grumbled as she pressed on the heads of the two youths. ”Don't make any noise! The three-tailed spiritual fox is extremely vigilant!”
The trap was a very ordinary one. It was merely a large pit with a thin layer of grass on it where the three-tailed spiritual fox often walked.
”And that Fang Yuan actually found a spot to ambush from by himself. He's making it clear that he doesn't trust us…” Moon clenched her white teeth. ”Just wait! I will definitely catch the three-tailed spiritual fox before him! Eh? It's coming out! I knew that the Vermillion Fruit's aroma was irresistible to it!”
A white shadow suddenly flashed at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing this, Moon and the two others immediately held their breath.
Not long later, a white fox ran out. This fox was smaller than a normal fox, and it was almost like a tiny sable. It had glowing snow-white fur and three long tails it dragged along.
After sniffing about, it looked at the Vermilion Fruit.
”Good! We'll make our move when it steps into range!” Moon clenched her fists tightly, but she suddenly realized that something was amiss with Youjie and Qi. ”What are you guys doing?”
”Hehe…”
”Caw! Caw!”
She shockingly found that the two companions beside her had become incredibly strange.
They extended their arms toward her with their eyes glowing green as though they were… foxes?
”This is… an illusion? Have I fallen into the three-tailed spiritual fox's illusion? Not good! Wake up! Hurry up and wake up!”
At this point, Moon finally understood how terrifying the three-tailed spiritual fox's illusion ability was.
The fox's shadow she at first saw was likely fake. Moreover, just like a nightmare, even if she knew she was having a nightmare, she could not break free from it.
”You… No!!!” The girl's cry instantly cut through the entire jungle.
…
”Really…” Fang Yuan, who was hiding on a treetop, shook his head when he saw this.
