Chapter 111: Devouring Totem
"Hoo-hah!" Xiaowu slowly opened his mouth, and a shocking, earth-shaking, awe-inspiring force burst out of it in an instant, enveloping the motionless Nayuan snake in front of him.
"Xiao Wu, this guy, is he going to... eat the Variant Totem?" Hu Gao was shocked by this scene, having always known that Xiao Wu was a foodie, but never thought that this guy could even eat a Totem?
On this Totem continent, warriors attach the most importance to totems. If a junior in some power condenses an abnormal totem, they will definitely be cultivated as the successor of that power.
But now, a mutated totem is about to be eaten by Xiao Wu. Hu Gao finally understands why Xue Tu, who was ranked in the top ten of the Totem Ranking, was so afraid of Xiao Wu!
Feng Fan's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt as if everything before his eyes had become dark and blurry.
When Na Yuan transformed into a Variant Totem, he felt that he was destined to rise in Longhua Country and even become a strong generation on the Totem Continent. It can be said that from an insect to a dragon, his future achievements will be legendary.
He was very clear that this is reality, not a beautiful dream.
But all of this was shattered by that little guy who didn't even have a first-class totem, and was brutally awakened from his beautiful dream. If Na Yuanchong were to be eaten, then all his thoughts would come to naught, not to mention his future prospects, he wouldn't even be comparable to an ordinary warrior.
The golden dragon's gaze turned to Nà Yuán Mǎng, and then controlled the suction force, directly swallowing it into his mouth. Nà Yuán Mǎng's massive body was also minced, finally turning into a terrifying energy essence that entered his abdomen.
"It's all over! Everything is over!"
Feng's pale face began to show red spots one by one, losing the protection of his yuan force, and the flames from the Fire Valley that were everywhere started to corrode his body.
He was extremely regretful in his heart, if he had known it would be like this, when he first completed the transformation and possessed the Náyúán Mǎng, this variant totem, he shouldn't have stayed behind but should have escaped from this place at the fastest speed.
If I had left at that time, I believe it wouldn't take long for me to become the top strongman of Longhua Country, and then slowly rise to become the top strongman of Totem Continent.
The more he thought about it, the more Wind Fan regretted it. In the end, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He hadn't expected that just as he had mastered the ability to control fire poison, he would now die from it.
"Little one, you're going up Huo Zhi Peak, aren't you?" Feng Fan's voice was as weak as a breath.
Hu Gao was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this fierce old man to ask such a question in the end, and nodded slowly, "Yes."
"I've always wondered what's under the Golden Pond... it's too late! Too late! Never thought I'd encounter a divine beast..."
He murmured a sentence, and Feng Fan fell silent again, probably not wanting to be invaded by the painful death of Huo Du. He tried to use the remaining yuan force in his body to shake off his own divine soul.
Hu Gao shook his head, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for this poor guy. He was just a miserable person who had been used by others. Since the totem had been abolished, there would be no more threats in the future. It was better to save him first, and whether he could get out of the Fire Beast Forest depended on his own luck.
Hu Gaoshou stretched out his hand and used his perfect yuan force to control the fire poison on Feng Wan's body, sucking it all over. "You can go now, be a good person from now on."
Feng Fan had just barely managed to muster up the intention to commit suicide, but as soon as the poison fire on his body was lifted, he couldn't bring himself to do it again. Even birds and beasts have a desire to survive, let alone humans.
"No need to thank me! I'll take my leave now!" Although the one who had put him in this state was indeed Hu Gao, he couldn't muster up even a hint of resentment. After all, it was he himself who had harbored greedy intentions back then. Now that he could salvage his life, perhaps it was just his own good fortune!
Yun Feng and Han Chong did not expect that Hu Gao would actually lend a hand to save Feng Fan. Even sworn enemies were spared, this magnanimity was indeed worthy of someone who could be their elder brother. Most importantly, they had just sensed a massive surge of energy erupting from the direction of Huo Yun Chan, after which Feng Fan's Variant Totem disappeared without a trace. This made them feel that Hu Gao's new junior brother was somewhat overwhelmingly powerful.
"You two are seriously injured. Let's get out of here first and find a place to treat your wounds properly." Hu Gao turned his head, looking at their injuries with some concern.
Yun Feng and Han Chong just experienced a real bloody battle. They can barely stand up now, completely because of the few healing medicines he had.
Upon hearing Hu Gao's reminder, the two of them also understood their current situation and put away the doubts and worries in their minds, nodding weakly.
Yun Feng said: "Well, in that case!" and put away the Blue Winged Flying Eagle Totem.
Han Chong also put away his Golden Mammoth and nodded: "Let's go!"
"Hmm!" Hu Gao apologized with a smile to the two friends and helped them jump onto the back of the Fire Cloud Toad. He clearly felt that when they landed on the fiery red skin of the Fire Cloud Toad, their bodies trembled slightly.
Hu Gao smiled bitterly in his heart and immediately took Xiao Wu back, gesturing to Huo Yunzhen to rush towards the direction of Huoyan Peak.
Xiao Wu Yi returned to Hu Gao's wrist and began to show off the delicious food he had just eaten to Lao Da.
"Wow, boss, how was it? I was awesome just now."
"You're indeed formidable, even the Variant Totem was devoured by you! Is this your new ability or will it always be like this? The Bloodlight Serpent is afraid of you to the point of trembling."
"How could that be, Old Big Brother you're overthinking, rabbits don't eat the grass beside their burrows, I'm a divine beast! This is a new skill I comprehended after breaking through to the second rank of demonic beasts, and I didn't expect it would actually come in handy now."
"It's impressive, but this skill is too flashy. If it weren't for Huoyun Chan suppressing it just now, I don't know how many powerful warriors would have been attracted. And the totem is the foundation of a warrior, your ability is too taboo. It's better not to use it often in the future."
"Of course I know that, don't worry, Big Brother. Not every totem can be favored by the original, and such a delicious variant totem cannot be let go."
"Older brother, I will soon store the fire toxin wrapped in dragon energy in your dantian. Within three days, you must condense it, otherwise the dragon energy will dissipate and the fire toxin may harm you. Also, I will leave some of the dragon energy inside you, so when the time comes, you won't have to worry about not having enough dragon energy for cultivation."
"Hmm, I see." Hu Gao nodded his head, feeling a bit moved. Xiao Wu really did think of everything for him.
"Whoa, Big Brother, I won't pretend with you anymore. I'm going to retreat and cultivate!" Xiao Wu's body flashed and he directly flew into Hu Gao's Dantian, starting his cultivation.
Huoyun carried three people and ran for a while. The surrounding trees became sparse, and they had truly set foot on Huozuofeng.
When Xiao Wu swallowed the Na Yuan Python, Huo Yun Chan also gained a lot of benefits. The dragon's might that was released in that instant was swallowed by it in one mouthful. It just couldn't digest it for the time being.
Hu Gao signaled Fire Cloud Toad to stop and wait for Yun Feng and Han Chong to finish their cultivation.
The night was deep, and the red clouds around Huo Zhi Peak had also subsided, revealing the moon in the sky.
Yun Feng and Han Chong had cultivated for a full two hours before they woke up one after the other. After exhausting their yuan power, the two of them looked much better, but the injuries they had sustained still needed some time to recover from.
Huoyun Chan has returned to Hu Gao's sleeve, and it also needs to absorb that dragon might. As for the crimson crystal obtained from Feng Fan, the replenished Huoyun Chan has forgotten about it.
After finishing their meal, Han Chong, still being impatient, couldn't help but ask: "Hu Gao, do you really possess the Variant Totem? Is that Fire Cloud Toad really a divine beast? How did you tame it? This is just too unbelievable!"
Yun Feng, who woke up a little late and was still eating, also put down the food in his hand. Although he didn't say anything, his face also showed a questioning expression.
They now finally understand why Hu Gao's cultivation speed is so fast and his combat strength is so strong, he is not an ordinary person at all.
They used to think they were top-notch geniuses in Longhua Country, but now that they've met Hu Gao, they finally know what a real genius looks like.
What is a fifth-order totem? What about a sixth-order totem? In front of the variant totem, they don't even have the qualifications to mention shoes.
It won't be long before the name Hu Gao will shake the entire Totem Continent, and even Dragon Tiger Land won't be worthy of being his stage.
It's just that the two of them didn't understand that the Huoyun Chan they happened to meet would actually be a divine beast, and it even followed Hu Gao, this is also too much of a coincidence, right?
"What is the Huoyun Chan, it's just a fierce newly promoted fourth-order fire beast king. People like Feng Fan who have no vision think that they can intimidate him with their totems, thinking that this is what a divine beast looks like. If divine beasts were so easy to find, wouldn't the Totem Continent have been in chaos long ago?" Hu Gao laughed and decided to keep Xiao Wu's matter hidden from his two friends.
The two nodded in agreement. What Hu Gao said was also true. They had been dealing with Huo Yun Chuan before, and they even knew his background clearly. Indeed, he didn't seem to be some kind of divine beast.
"That's right, I suddenly thought of something." Yun Feng looked at Han Chong and said: "The crimson crystal that Feng Fan took out was eaten by Huo Yun Chan, do you think it has anything to do with it?"
"That crimson crystal with the powerful aura?" As soon as Jing Yunfeng mentioned it, Han Chong immediately remembered. He clearly recalled that when Feng Fan took out the crimson crystal, his Golden Mammoth had transmitted a palpable tremor.
"That crystal has the power of Dragon Might." Hu Gao felt that he had been keeping secrets from his two friends, letting them guess blindly, and it was really not good. He explained, while also changing the subject.
"Dragon Might?!" The two suddenly understood something.
"Hmm, Feng Fan said he found it on Huo Zhi Peak. I'm really looking forward to going there now." Hu Gao felt a bit sentimental, then he said seriously: "I must go up Huo Zhi Peak, and time is pressing, we have to leave tomorrow. You're all injured, so just wait for me at the foot of the mountain."
As soon as Han Chong heard Hu Gao's decision, he immediately jumped up, gritted his teeth, and pointed at Hu Gao, cursing: "I... I'll poke your nose! What kind of thing is this?"
"This is terrible!" Yunfeng also pulled a long face, pulled Han Chong and said to Hu Gao: "We are brothers!"
Seeing their expressions, Hu Gao's heart warmed up. These two youngsters, who had known him for less than ten days, were willing to risk their lives for him.
And what about yourself, can you do something when they are seriously injured?
