Chapter 1028: Conflict

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.

In his eyes, the three people hiding on the ground were already completely defeated. Even Youjie and Qi, who were at the mid Predatory realm, were standing there dazedly with a smile on their face. Who knew what kind of illusions they were in?

“However… they were merely my bait. The three-tailed spiritual fox would never fall for a crude trap like this.”

A cold light flashed in Fang Yuan’s eyes as he continued waiting.

After some time, a white shadow appeared from the underbrush and charged toward the Vermilion Fruit at lightning speed.

“Little guy, you lost the moment you couldn’t resist with the Vermilion Fruit!”

Crash!

The turf caved in, revealing a large hole.

However, this three-tailed spiritual fox was so unbelievably fast that it actually managed to dart toward the edge of the trap. Both its claws clung to the edge of the hole.

Swoosh!

Fang Yuan, who had been paying close attention from the start, threw a rock and accurately struck the three-tailed spiritual fox’s forehead.

It let out an agonizing cry as it fell into the pit.

“Success!” Fang Yuan clenched his fist tightly. He slid down the tree and casually kicked Moon and the other two. “Wake up!”

“W-we are in an illusion!” Moon cried out. She looked at Fang Yuan cautiously. “What about you? Are you real or fake?”

“Really…” Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and ignored her. He arrived at the edge of the hole while holding his saber.

“Wait!”

Right at this moment, the thickets parted, and Dark led a bunch of youths over. “That three-tailed spiritual fox is mine!”

“Dark, how shameless can you get?” Moon’s face immediately frosted over.

“Haha… In the Endless Mountains, might makes right!” Dark sneered.

“Good! Very good!” Moon looked behind herself as Youjie and Qi roared and released their totem.

Their totems were a black snake and a bull respectively. Presently, totem patterns, which were also called battle tattoos, emerged on their bodies, and their strength increased tremendously.

“Two at the mid Predatory realm?”

The young men behind Dark were slightly astonished, fearful, and envious.

“Hmph!” Dark snorted, and the horned dragon totem behind him appeared. A formidable aura spread out, making Youjie’s and Qi’s expressions change drastically. “You broke through?!”

“To think that such inferior totems dare to challenge me! Horned Dragon Possession!”

Roar Roar!

The horned dragon totem suddenly turned into a green radiance that landed on Dark’s body. A layer of green armor covered with complicated battle tattoos emerged.

“I have a third-grade totem, while the two of you have a sixth and seventh-grade one. Even if you come at me together, you aren’t my match!” Dark shouted. “Hand over the three-tailed spiritual fox. Otherwise… in the Endless Mountains, I can bury you anywhere!”

“Really… ignorant!” Fang Yuan’s expression was cold as battle tattoos appeared on his face. “Dark, your opponent is me! Moon, you think you can handle the rest of them?”

Moon clenched her teeth and nodded. “Don’t worry!”

Even though she had fewer people, two of them were in the mid Predatory realm while no one on the opposite side was. They had a big advantage.

“Yet another one! But a ninth-grade totem is basically trash!” Dark restrained his fury. “For the last time, are you guys unwilling to serve me?”

“You sure are arrogant given your age. Who do you think you are?”

Fang Yuan’s face turned cold as he suddenly lunged forward. “Kill!”

He charged at Dark like a ferocious tiger pouncing on its prey.

If these youths had not experienced the test in the Endless Mountains, they would have stood rooted to the ground from pure shock alone, waiting to be slaughtered.

“Chopping Wood Stance!” Dark swung forward with his saber.

However, Fang Yuan’s saber instantly swept his aside and cut directly into the horned dragon armor, sending him flying to the ground and looking pathetic.

“It indeed lives up to its name as a third-grade totem. Not only does it boost speed and strength, but the defense of the horned dragon armor is even more astonishing!” Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes. “Looks like I have to go all out to break it!”

“You…” With his confidence taking the greatest hit, Dark quickly got up. “No way… I’m already at the mid Predatory realm and can use the power of my totem. How can you beat me? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!!”

He roared as he rushed forward and slashed three times. “Die!”

Although he’s merely a small character, the protectors are definitely watching in secret. I can’t kill him!

Before the fight started, Fang Yuan already had an ominous feeling, realizing that there were people monitoring them. He immediately thought of something. “Cutting Wind!”

His body flashed as he detoured toward Dark’s back and sent out two saber light toward his legs.

“Ahh!” Even through the horned dragon armor, the immense pain caused him to cry out miserably as he fell to the ground.

“Haha! Simple!”

“Who’s next?!”

Nearby, Youjie and Qi swept everyone before them away while in great spirits.

“Well, it seems like the rankings for this trial are already set!” Brutal Thunder met up with a hunter carrying a bow. “Brutal Arrow, what do you think of Moon?”

Brutal Arrow had a scar on his face. “Without talking about the potential of her totem, she has the ability to take stock of the situation! And she is better at uniting people!”

“At this point, we can’t just watch them kill each other. Go out there and stop them!” Brutal Thunder ordered. But his expression suddenly changed as he looked toward another side. “No way! That…”
