1278 The Seal on the Little Loach (2/2)

Zhao Manyan's jaw dropped.

That was a hell of a job! As expected of Mo Fan, the man who was always caught up in things that no one would even bother doing!

If Zhao Manyan had not come into contact with Baxia, he would be calling Mo Fan crazy right now. Totem Beasts were like ancient artifacts that had existed in the last era. They might be buried thousands of meters deep under the ground. They were most likely going to end up finding some bones and remains of the Totem Beasts...

However, Zhao Manyan now believed there were still Totem Beasts alive across the world. Some had indeed died off, but there were those that were secluded from mankind, similar to Baxia, by living in the territories of demon creatures!

”It's going to be an interesting job. By the way, do you know that there's still a seal on the wooden clapper? I can only unleash its full potential with an equivalent level of strength. Baxia isn't willing to take my orders because I haven't completely opened the seal of the wooden clapper,” Zhao Manyan said.

”That's great then! Once you use the power of other Totem Beasts to crack open the seal, you're basically invincible in the country. I bet Zhao Youqian wouldn't even dare to lift his finger if you sent Baxia after him,” Mo Fan said.

Zhao Manyan nodded. He needed power, and the only way he could be powerful enough to face Zhao Youqian was with the Totem Beast!

Zhao Manyan no longer looked so lost after having a goal and a direction in mind. Zhao Manyan could not wait for the day that he finally earned the approval of the tsundere old turtle and gained his formidable power!

Zhao Manyan went back to school. He secretly bought an apartment as a playground for him and his girlfriends. His family was clueless about it, meaning that Zhao Youqian would not be looking for him there, either.

The place was very close to Mo Fan's place. Mo Fan asked Zhao Manyan to give him Baxia's Totem Seal. That way, he finally had the complete Totem Seal of the Black Tortoise!

The Totem Seal of the Black Tortoise might not be useful now, but who knew that it might turn out to be an important clue that would help them track down the other Totem Beasts. Mo Fan was still unsure if the Totem Beasts were connected to one another.

Zhao Manyan went back to his apartment to organize the information he had on Totem Beasts. Meanwhile, Mo Fan was lying on the resting chair on the balcony of his apartment.

He was the only person in the apartment. Both Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao were nowhere to be seen.

Mo Fan suddenly sat upright after some time. He took out the Little Loach Pendant below his shirt.

Finding the Totem Beasts was indeed exciting, and the benefits were incredible too. However, they were not the main reason why Mo Fan was interested in them...

Little Loach, the special pendant that had been keeping Mo Fan company for a long time, felt alive to him too.

Nanyu had an interest in learning ancient lore, and had mentioned that the Little Loach Pendant was a vessel stronger than the wooden clapper.

If the wooden clapper was the symbolic vessel of Baxia, the descendant of the Black Tortoise, what was the Little Loach Pendant?

The Little Loach Pendant's existence had always been a mystery. Mo Fan believed it might have represented a Totem Beast in the past, too...

He could only solve the mystery by finding the Totem Beast it was representing!

”Little Loach, you have a seal on you too, right? Every time you eat something delicious, the seal will open a little, giving me great benefits... I bet the energy that the Totem Beasts have is your favorite too!” Mo Fan murmured to himself, looking at the Little Loach Pendant.

Mo Fan's rate of improvement was still too slow. At least, he thought it was slow, compared to how quickly Mu Ningxue was improving.

Mu Ningxue had been cultivating diligently. The power she received from activating the pieces of the Ice Crystal Bow was quite remarkable, too.

Since Mo Fan had six Elements to take care of, just being diligent was never going to be enough for him, not to mention that he would have eight Elements in total once he became a Super Mage.

Therefore, it was necessary to upgrade the Little Loach Pendant further!

Well, it might be inappropriate to say it was upgrading...

Initially, Tangyue told Mo Fan that the Little Loach Pendant was the kind of magic equipment that was able to grow, thus Mo Fan assumed that the Little Loach Pendant had been growing after devouring the things it was interested in.

However, it turned out that the Little Loach Pendant was most likely a symbolic vessel placed under a seal. It was closely related to the Totem Beasts. Every time it devoured some suitable source of energy, it would open the seal restricting its powers a little bit, thus granting Mo Fan more energy and benefits!

Mo Fan understood what he had to do after arriving at that conclusion.

It was also the reason why Mo Fan had accepted the job right away after Shao Zheng told him about the Totem Beasts.

There was nothing that could make him stronger as efficiently as the Little Loach Pendant. If he already had a mountain of gold waiting to be dug up, why would he bother wandering around aimlessly?

Besides, Mo Fan was very eager to learn the secrets of the Little Loach Pendant!

If Baxia was already so powerful, how powerful would the Totem Beast that the Little Loach Pendant was linked to be?
