Chapter 34: Totem Awakening (1)
Rumbling footsteps could be heard in the jungle in the distance.
Knock, knock, knock......
One at a time, like beating the drums of war!
It seems that there is an army of demons, which is rapidly approaching.
Xia Yu felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and quickly stood up, his figure flashed, and he burrowed into the depths of the woods. I don't know how far I ran, and the rumbling footsteps are finally inaudible. He slowed down until he came to a waterfall, surrounded by the sound of water.
"I shouldn't be chasing after me for the time being, but the power of that monster is too terrifying, I must refine the remaining essence blood before I have a chance to escape!" Xia Yuwu was shocked.
After sitting on a boulder for a while, after half an hour, he finally completely refined the remaining essence blood, and his life force increased by more than three times compared to before he landed on the island.
After recovering his true appearance, his appearance became more radiant, and between his gestures, there was an incomparably thick breath of life, revealing a tenacious and vigorous vitality.
With his current strength, it would be easy to deal with a few first-order monsters, but if he was dealing with an army of demon clans, he would seem to be more than capable of dealing with it.
The task of escorting Yu You is already difficult, his companions have been captured, and his life and death are uncertain, so for now, he entered the underground palace alone and got in touch with the Xiling clan.
But the biggest problem is how to bypass the pursuit of the demon clan. There must be many obstacles along the way, and Lori Island is densely wooded and the terrain is complex, so if you are not careful, you may lose your way, and it will not be easy to enter the underground palace.
With his current strength, it can almost be said that it is impossible, unless he can get some adventures, greatly improve his life force, and even awaken the totem, it is possible to break out of the encirclement, but it is not easy to get adventures, it is just a trace of ethereal fantasy.
Just as I didn't know what to do, suddenly, a figure appeared above the waterfall.
Xia Yu's eyes moved, that person was the dwarf who had used the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain to him before, only to see him sneakily looking around, Xia Yu got up and hid behind the weeds.
When the dwarf was sure that there was no one, he suddenly made a path under the waterfall and disappeared.
"What is he doing? Is he trying to commit suicide?" Xia Yu was taken aback, but then realized that there must be something strange hidden under the waterfall.
He watched carefully for a moment.
"I see!"
He saw what was going on, so he jumped down the waterfall in the dwarf way, and when he was halfway down, he suddenly reached out and grabbed at the back of the waterfall, and sure enough, he caught a vine, and with a swing of his body, he rolled into a cave.
As soon as he stood up, a black shadow flew in front of him.
Xia Yu couldn't dodge, and was bitten by the black shadow on the throat, and a gray gas suddenly spread down his throat to his whole body, and it turned out to be a big fluffy spider.
"Good boy, you dare to come here and let you taste the power of my Five Poisonous Spider King!" The dwarf stood in front of a wooden frame and shouted angrily, he looked embarrassed, his body was covered with mud, and it was obvious that he had been beaten by Xia Yu very badly.
Xia Yu first felt that his upper body was gradually numb, and suddenly, the Pangu totem emitted a black glow, and immediately refined the venom of the Five Poisonous Spider Kings, turning it into a pure life force and integrating it into the flesh. The numbness disappeared suddenly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the Five Poisonous Spider King, glanced at it, and swallowed it without saying a word. The Five Poisonous Spider Kings were also transformed into life force.
"You...... Who the hell are you?" the dwarf couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that he actually swallowed the Five Poisonous Spider King, who died when an ordinary person touched it.
"Who are you?" Xia Yu said coldly, "Why did you help the demon clan and make me move the tiger away from the mountain?"
Dwarf was stunned for a moment: "What is the tiger leaving the mountain?"
Xia Yu clenched his fists: "You dare to lie to me?"
What Dwarf is best at is poisoning, but when he meets Xia Yu, it is useless, he knows that he is not an opponent, and he hurriedly said: "How can I lie to you, the Xiling clan was extinct ten years ago, the concubine who took you to the island, she deceived you, she is a traitor to the Xiling clan, if she didn't open the underground palace for the demon clan, the Xiling clan may not be extinct, what I said is true, it is true!"
Xia Yu thought of the bizarre white bone pit, the white bones there did not look like they were left by someone who had been dead for more than a month, and couldn't help but be suspicious: "Then why did you arrest me?"
The dwarf sneered, "Am I not bored by myself, and I want to find someone to be my companion?"
"What's your name, and what is your relationship with the Xiling clan?"
"My name is Cangjie, I was originally from the Ambiguous Tongue Clan, and I was exiled to Luowei Island ten years ago and was taken in by the Xiling Clan. In the past ten years, I have been hiding on the island and not leaving, just to kill Yu You and avenge the Xiling clan, but unfortunately there are too many monsters around her, and I have no way to start!"
"So, the concubine I saw at that time was not a monster, but herself?" Xia Yu's heart moved, "No wonder there are only three monsters that came to catch me, I thought the other one went to report it, so that's the case, so it took me nearly two hours to refine the essence and blood, and the monster reinforcements arrived late, if there is a monster report, it should be coming soon!"
Thinking of this, I immediately believed most of Cangjie's words.
"If what you said is true, then my companions are in even more danger, I must go and save them, by the way, I can also help you avenge the Xiling clan," Xia Yu said, "It's just that I need your help!"
Cangjie was overjoyed: "As long as you can kill that cheap woman, you can help you as much as you want!"
"My life force is too weak now, but your poison is very useful to me, it can improve my life force cultivation, I wonder if you have more poison?"
Cangjie suddenly looked embarrassed: "This ...... My poisons are all rare treasures, they are all caught by me with great difficulty, and it took a lot of effort to train them, and they are eaten by you like this, it is inevitable that they will ......"
Xia Yu said: "The situation is urgent now, otherwise I don't want to do this, and you raise these poisons, isn't it just to avenge the Xiling clan?
Cangjie thought twice, gritted his teeth, and said: "Okay, I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, but I have to remind you that my poisons are not the same, although you are not afraid of my colorful dragon and the five poisonous spider kings, but other poisons may not be able to hurt you!"
Xia Yu was very confident in his Pangu totem, and smiled: "Don't worry, I have my own measure!"
Cangjie walked into the inner room of the cave, and after a while, he took out a large urn, lifted the lid, and saw that it was divided into many lattice shelves, and a wooden box was placed on each lattice shelf.
"So many?" Xia Yu was taken aback.
Cangjie hesitated a little and took out a wooden box, put it back, picked up the other one, and handed it to Xia Yu: "This is a human-faced scorpion, the poison is twice as strong as the Five Poisonous Spider King just now, see if you can refine it!"
Xia Yu opened the wooden box, only to see a black scorpion lying inside, with a pattern on its back, like a human face, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the human face scorpion suddenly erected a tail needle and pierced his hand fiercely, almost instantly, his hand became black and swollen, as if it was rotten.
Xia Yu felt that the poison was indeed very strong, and the severe pain in his arm was incomparable, so he hurriedly urged the totem to refine the poison little by little, and it took half an hour to finally refine it completely, and his life force increased a few points.
The venom of the human face scorpion was almost exhausted, but when he found that the enemy was not dead, he immediately panicked and wanted to escape, but was grabbed by Xia Yu, swallowed it in his stomach, and transformed it into a more pure life force.
"If there is anything else, take it out!" Xia Yu said.
Cangjie was already stunned.
"What kind of clan are you, why does your totem have such a miraculous effect?" Cangjie realized that the detoxification holy object on Xia Yu's body was his totem.
"I can't tell you yet, when I rescue my companion and prove that what you said is true, I will naturally confess to you!"
"I guess your totem should be at least a ground level totem, right?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly and did not answer. What kind of level, his totem is the totem of the ancestor who opened up the heavens and the earth, and the totem of the ground level is just his descendant.
"This is the Ice Silkworm ......" Cangjie reluctantly took out a wooden box, "more toxic and ......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xia Yu swallowed the fat white transparent silkworm into his stomach in one gulp. His body suddenly became covered with a thick layer of ice, and even his eyes and mouth froze.
"Hey, are you alright?" asked Cangjie tentatively.
An hour later, the ice on Xia Yu's body finally began to melt, and he was soaked all over.
"Whew, it's amazing!" Xia Yu let out a sigh, as if he had just gone through a hard struggle, but his spirit was even more refreshed, which meant that his vitality had increased a lot.
"Go on!"
Cangjie was a little scared: "You won't ...... Are you really going to eat all my baby?"
Xia Yu said a little apologetically: "Human life is at stake, so I can only wronged you!"
Cangjie sighed, as if he had resigned himself to his fate: "Okay, okay, whatever you want, since you are not even afraid of ice silkworms, the rest must not be able to poison you!"
"Could it be that you took out the ice silkworm just to poison me?" Xia Yu said lightly.
Cangjie hurriedly laughed and said, "Where is this, I just took it casually, and took it casually!"
Xia Yu also ignored it and continued to take poison.
In the past day, a total of nineteen highly poisonous poisons have been eaten, and their life power has increased nearly tenfold.
The next day passed, and forty more poisons were eaten, and the vitality increased threefold on the basis of the previous day.
On the third day, he finally ate all the remaining poisons, and the life force continued to integrate into the body, and now Xia Yu looks like a towering tree, although he has not become bigger, but there is a heavy momentum like a mountain.
Although Yin Li and the others did not respect him very much for the four war divisions, after all, he was his partner, and he fell into the hands of the demon clan, no matter what, he had to save it, otherwise if he went back alone, he would be ridiculed by others, saying that he abandoned his companions and escaped alone, which was undoubtedly a cowardly act.
But in addition, what made him even more relieved was that the Pangu totem, which had been silent all the time, finally had a little movement!
