Chapter 124 Inherited Items

  "Alright, let's leave it here for now. When you have the chance to come back in the future, we'll see if fate brings us together again."

  Hu Gao looked at Huo Yuhao, who had transformed into a toad-like creature, and thought back to their first meeting in the Fire Beast Forest. This guy had been following them for Xiao Wu's dragon aura all along. These scenes flashed before his eyes, and it was the first time he felt like crying since coming to this strange world. The strangest thing was that this first time was actually for a demon beast!

  "Snow... Special!" Hu Gao held back the tears in his eyes and said, "Fire Cloud brother, thank you so much. When you grow up, I'll come back for you, and by then I'll ride on your back to conquer the entire continent!"

  Ehuang saw the sorrowful appearance of Hu Gao, so she didn't interrupt him. Instead, she looked at the Radiant Serpent and said: "You want to transform into a dragon, but you can't get rid of your snake nature. You disturb Lord Chi, yet you don't know how to teach. Your heart is not full, it's useless to keep you. Flying Eagle Envoy, this is an opportunity for you."

  After finishing, Ehuang led Qieruo a few steps forward, bent down and grasped the hilt of Wuying Sword, and with a red glow on her hand, she easily used Wuying Sword to cut open the snake's abdomen, scooped out the azure gallbladder, and handed it over to Yunfeng.

  "This snake gall will be of great help to you!"

  "Thanks for your generosity, Ehuang!" Yunfeng took the snake gallbladder and, without bothering to smell its foul odor, sat down cross-legged and swallowed it immediately.

  "The successor, this dragon scale is for you." Ehuang stretched out her hand and summoned a piece of dragon scale from afar, handing it to Hugao. "The accomplishments of Yao are engraved on this, it will be useful to you."

  Hú Gāo carefully unwrapped the precious gift, feeling the dragon's power emanating from the scales. Only now did he understand the purpose of Fatty Boss sending him a map to come to Huǒ Suì Peak. Moreover, that old fellow had actually given himself a hint at Yī Pǐn Lóu, and that terrifying meal of dragon descendant meat was not just a simple invitation to dinner.

  So, does that mean the fat boss had also been to Yao Mu's tomb back then? And he knew he would obtain some sort of inheritance item? Otherwise, how can his strange behavior be explained?

  "Alright, this time I've been in seclusion for long enough. Brave humans, the tomb of Yu may be closed forever. After you leave, you must not mention this experience to anyone, or else you will suffer the most terrifying curse!" Yao Huang said with a solemn expression, her face bearing some resemblance to Guanyin from her past life.

  The tomb of Yao, which lost the heirloom, may be closed as its final fate. Yao, who led humanity out of the predicament of the Ice River Riot, is also time to get a real rest. Although there are still many murals in that corridor that Hu Gao cannot understand, one day, when he becomes truly powerful, he will have the opportunity to decipher them!

  "Adventurers, you'll be thinking of me, won't you?" Ying Guang once again flashed her self-satisfied charming smile.

  Han Chong and Yun Feng nodded in agreement, during their time together, they naturally knew that this guy was a proud and arrogant girl, who could only be catered to and couldn't have any other thoughts.

  "We'll be back!"

  With the help of Wa Huang, the three rested for a few days before being sent out of Huo Suifeng. As for Xiao Wu, although he returned to Hu Gao's body, he was still in a state of deep sleep.

  After going through this perilous adventure, the three Totem Continent's young masters seemed to have truly become men. Although they were only at the first stage of the Unity Realm now, in the future, perhaps no one would dare look down on them again.

  "I say, Hu Gao brothers, you've been hiding this from us for so long, that Xiao Wu must be a divine beast, right?" Han Chong had been wanting to ask this question for a while now.

  Hu Gao nodded in satisfaction, and on this trip to the Dragon Ape Mountains, he had already fully acknowledged Han Chong and Yun Feng as his brothers. Even if it was a big trump card, there was no need to hide it anymore.

  "It's not as simple as you think, Xiao Wu is not my totem, nor can it be considered a beast pet, perhaps the word 'friend' is more suitable to describe our relationship. Moreover, he is not as powerful as you think, and now he is just a second-tier peak demon beast."

  Yun Feng held the sword in his hand and said indifferently, "The most important thing for a martial artist is still to strengthen oneself, other things are just external objects, don't lose your original intention."

  Hu Gao patted Yun Feng's shoulder, "Your words are indeed true, but I'd like to ask, do the twin swords in your arms count as external objects?"

  Yun Feng shifted his body, protecting the treasure sword, and changed the subject, saying, "It seems that we are no longer in the Huo Shou Lin. It appears that the Yao Mu should have other exits."

  Hú Gāo took out the map, compared it with the surrounding environment, and surprisingly found that this place seemed to be at the southern edge of the Dragon Armor Mountain Range, near the side of Tu Shan. Further northeast, not far away, was the main road leading to Ning City.

  "If you're here, then let's go! Why don't we just head to Ning City and have a stroll?" Han Chong heard Hu Gao say this and looked very excited. Ning City was the headquarters of Dragon and Flower Country's adventurers, he had long heard from his family that it was full of adventure and stimulation, these things had a special attraction for him."

  "It's better this way!" Yun Feng also felt that going on an adventure was much more exciting than staying in the Wu Xuan Sword Pavilion, and following Hu Gao would never lack unexpected encounters, so why not?

  Come with me, let's set off now

  The dream has awakened, and the heart will not be afraid

  There is a place, that is happy home!

  Hú Gāo was in high spirits, humming a tune happily as he walked along the road back to Ning City with his two good brothers.

  Just as they were about to leave the Dragon Scales Mountains range, Hu Gao felt a sense of unease lingering in his heart.

  Due to Xiao Wu's deep sleep, Hu Gao's perception ability had disappeared. Fortunately, he had been keeping his mind in a relatively stretched state for a long time before, so he still maintained a high level of attention in this regard. Even the slightest fluctuation of yuan force in the air could make him feel uneasy.

  Hu Gao made a gesture towards Han Chong and whispered, "We may be being followed..."

  Han Chong was startled by Hu Gao's words and almost shouted out loud, but fortunately Yun Feng reacted quickly and punched him in the chest, forcing him to swallow his words back into his stomach.

  "You listen to me, find a place to ambush later, I'll say my stomach is hungry, then you two will say go find food. I reckon if someone really wants to harm one of us, they must first deal with the only person who is alone and has the lowest boundary, which is me." Hu Gao quickly stated his plan.

  "No way! This plan is far too dangerous!" Han Chong quietly vetoed Hu Gao's proposal, after all, the hidden enemies in the dark were completely imperceptible to any aura, which means that the opponent's realm should be far above theirs.

  "Idiots, who let you really walk far away. Alright, stop talking nonsense, or the other party will suspect something." Hu Gao said, then stopped making a sound, and instead walked while keeping his eyes fixed on the surroundings to find a suitable place to ambush.

  After passing through a dense forest, Hu Gao finally found a hilly area. This terrain was convenient for hiding after Han Chong and Yun Feng left, but if someone wanted to launch a sneak attack on him, once they were at a disadvantage, there would be no trees to obstruct their escape, making it an ideal place to set up an ambush.

  "I've been saying we've walked for so long, I'm starving. You two go take a look around and see if there's anything good to eat, I'll just stay here and start a fire while waiting for you." Hu Gao plopped himself down on the ground, putting on an exhausted expression as he spoke.

  "That's fine!" Yun Feng nodded, "Then I'll go with Han Chong to find something to eat first."

  "Go quickly and come back soon." Hu Gao started gathering dry branches from the ground, preparing to build a bonfire. As he squatted down, one of his hands hid behind him, ready to draw his sword at any moment.

  However, the enemy seemed to be very patient and never made a move, which made Hu Gao start to wonder if he had been too suspicious of everything since leaving the Yao tomb.

  "What a pity that Little Five is sleeping, otherwise it would have definitely run out excitedly this time." Hu Gao thought of the Foodie God Beast after releasing the Fire Dragon Technique, and didn't know when it would wake up again. Now thinking about it, he seemed to be a bit used to the feeling of chatting with that cute guy when there was nothing to do.

  Just then, a sudden change occurred, and Hu Gao felt something tighten in his heart. His back was like it had been hit by a fierce cannonball, first with a steep slope, his body leaning forward, followed by a severe pain spreading out.

  "Bloodlight Serpent!" Hu Gao's consciousness was scattered, and he hastily summoned the Bloodlight Serpent. He hadn't expected the enemy's sneak attack to be so swift and fierce, completely beyond his predicted range.

  "Hmph, go die."

  A soft, reproachful voice sounded behind Hu Gao, who felt danger coming from the left and instinctively dodged to the right. The next moment, he saw a sword tip appear on his left shoulder.

  The intense pain caused by the penetration of his scapula made Hu Gao almost faint, he gritted his teeth and knew he had to hold on until Han Chong and Yun Feng returned. Now all he could do was use the Blood Snake's ability to stall for time!

  Can't let his back be exposed to the enemy all the time! With this in mind, Hu Gao didn't care about his face anymore, lowered his head and flipped over to make a donkey roll pose, while placing the Blood Light Snake in front of him. He remembered that at the time, White Xiao's fatal blow was blocked by the Blood Light Snake, which reduced most of its power. At this point, he could only try any desperate remedy.

  The other party may not have expected that their sword would only pierce Hu Gao's shoulder, and the subsequent attacks did not come at the fastest speed. After seeing Hu Gao turn around, she instead turned her face away nervously, as if she didn't want Hu Gao to see her face.

  "I'm poking your nose! Are you okay, Hu Gao?"

  Just at this moment of hesitation, Han Chong and Yun Feng had already turned back, seeing Hu Gao's extremely wretched appearance, they didn't dare to waste any more words, each taking up their weapons and charging towards the enemy.
