Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 1027 - Three-Tailed



Chapter 1027: Three-Tailed

The temptation of a mutated beast could not sway Fang Yuan since he had determined his own path.

He walked along the river, found a few suitable places, and started his fishing plan.

“Although sea beasts would be better, there really aren’t any suitable conditions here, so I have to make do with water beasts!”

Fang Yuan stayed by the riverside, fished sawtooth fish, and absorbed their bloodline and spirit essences.

Of course, such actions had occasional dangers.

For example, the bloody smell of the sawtooth fish had attracted the mutated beast ‘eight-legged crocodile’, the overlord in shallow waters, scaring Fang Yuan into fleeing.

Some stronger water beasts forced Fang Yuan to do everything possible before finally relying on Splashing Wind to kill it.

Finally, that night.

The moon hung brightly overhead.

Fang Yuan was sitting cross-legged in a cave, with his totem looming behind him.

A blood aura overflowed and finally made the clam totem more solid.

“Mid Predatory realm, done!”

He opened his eyes in excitement.

At this stage, Totem Cultivation was finally no longer just nourishing his body, but it could mobilize some strength.

“Totem Possession!”

Fang Yuan shouted, and the totem entered his body, leaving a black pattern around his eyes and a shell mark in between the eyebrows.

“The clam totem causes no improvement in speed and strength, and the only ability is ‘Illusion’. Of course, resistance toward other illusions and psyche attacks have improved as well.”

He raised his hand and released blobs of fog.

Like mirages, illusions emerged and continued to solidify with the movement of his fingers.

In the end, Dark, Moon, Strain, Tiger, and so on appeared as though they were real.

“It’s more difficult to simulate the strong pressure that Brutal Thunder and Brutal Bones have!”

Fang Yuan rubbed his brows and deactivated the totem’s power.

He was definitely at the grandmaster-level in the manipulation of illusions, and he was even more powerful now that he had obtained the totem’s Illusion ability.

“I can return to the tribe since I’m at the mid stage. Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to that blood fish!”

The blood fish had forced Fang Yuan to go all out against it. It ranked the top among the wild beasts and was not far from becoming a mutated beast.

It had been very dangerous, but there were many benefits after killing it. Therefore, Fang Yuan had taken a shorter time than expected to complete his breakthrough.

“When I use only water element spirit essences and bloodlines to breakthrough, the clam totem seems more solid and consumes less energy?”

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin. He did not have a suitable comparison, so he could only roughly deduce relying on his impression.

Fang Yuan met a few unexpected people on the way back to the tribe the next day.

“You are… Moon?” He smiled and greeted the girl in front of him. “I changed my name. Call me Fang Yuan!”

“Hehe… I heard about it from Strain!” Moon stepped forward.

She had the jade rabbit totem and had potential second only to Dark within the group.

Not only that, but she was first in beauty as well. Her eyes were large, and her leather clothes showcased her white thighs, giving her an air of wild seduction.

“What happened?”

Looking at the two young men behind her, Fang Yuan immediately realized something.

“I’ve separated from Dark!” Moon said. “Everyone pooled their all and finally managed to kill the brute bull, but he turned on the spot and refined the brute bull all for himself, leaving not even a single drop for us!”

“After all, It is a mutated beast and a huge attraction to him. A third-grade totem requires a lot more bloodline power and spirit essences!” Fang Yuan shrugged but was laughing inwardly. Dark was a young man after all. He was shrewd but not much since he had made such a mistake.

He would deduct points for this if he were a secret observer.

How could he gather the hearts of people as part of the higher echelon if he could not deal with others fairly, even on the surface?

Everything was a pretense under huge benefits, but for the sake of merely a brute bull… Fang Yuan could only say that his vision was too shallow!

“Hmph! Don’t we need it as well? Everyone spent half a month doing it, and Big Sis Moon didn’t even get anything!”

“And that Dark brought a few subordinates and started to hunt everything rapidly. They even stole our prey! I heard they’re going to advance soon!” said the two young men behind Moon indignantly.

The more advanced a totem was, the more it required to advance.

If Fang Yuan were to absorb the brute bull, he could have immediately advanced to the mid-stage.

However, it had only satisfied half the requirement for Dark, so he needed to continue hunting.

Fang Yuan could deduce from this information that while his clam totem was not trash, it was at best a fifth or sixth-grade totem. He was still some distance away from those geniuses.

“So, why did you look for me?” Fang Yuan scratched his head.

“I’m here to ask you for help… I heard you harvested a lot from fishing!” Moon was slightly embarrassed.

Actually, some among them had wanted to imitate Fang Yuan’s fishing.

However, they soon found out that it was not easy at all. To pull the fish onto shore the moment it bit the bait, the timing and strength needed were very demanding.

Even Fang Yuan needed to use the power from Splashing Wind to be able to do it.

As for going into the river and directly catching them?

Haha! They would become white skeletons in no time.

“Want me to help? What’s in it for me?” Fang Yuan did not reject immediately.

Moon looked to her sides and lowered her voice. “I found traces of a three-tailed spiritual fox!”

“Three-tailed spiritual fox?” Fang Yuan’s eyes glittered.

This was a mutated beast. Most importantly, it was a mutated beast with illusion and psyche attributes. It was very compatible with him.

“Foxes are good at bewitching, and the three-tailed spiritual fox is at the mutated beast level. This seventh-grade beast is rumored to grow one tail every one hundred years. Once it has six tails, it is at third-grade. If it manages to cross its tribulation, it becomes a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, a first-grade divine beast!”

“Not bad. A three-tailed spiritual fox’s attacks aren’t strong, and it’s only strong with illusions. We can bring it down if we do it together!”

Moon bit her lips. “I have a fourth-grade totem, and I need more bloodline power and spirit essences. Killing a hundred wild beasts won’t match up to a mutated beast! Afterward, it’s remaining meat and fur will go to you. The fur of a three-tailed spiritual fox will fetch a high price in the tribe!”

“I think… we’d be courting death if we challenged a healthy mutated beast!” Fang Yuan shook his head. “You’re underestimating the three-tailed spiritual fox’s illusion ability!”

“But… what else can we do? The three-tailed spiritual fox is already the best mutated beast I can think of. We’d only die if we met other ones,” Moon said anxiously.

“Given your strength, as long as you don’t overestimate yourself and slowly kill ordinary wild beasts, you’ll be able to meet the requirement!” Fang Yuan asked curiously, “Why take the risk?”

“Because the reward is better the earlier you get back. I want revenge on Dark!” Moon clenched her fists. “I have a good friend who was sent to distract the brute bull by Dark and died!”

Fang Yuan fell silent. The test of these barbarians was indeed barbaric, causing people to die.

Probably only Moon and Dark had protection from death.

Taking into account the strength of the hidden protector, we can try dealing with the three-tailed spiritual fox. There isn’t much risk anyway!

Fang Yuan calculated swiftly in his head. “Okay! I promise to help you! But I want to change the terms. I want the spirit essence and the bloodline of the three-tailed spiritual fox!”

He looked behind Moon. “Don’t reject me before listening to my condition. I guarantee to help Qi and Youjie reach the mid-stage within three days. Then the four of us will hunt the three-tailed spiritual fox, and the fur will be yours! Moreover, I promise to help you reach the mid-stage after that!”

Who could he blame if he were to help Moon first and then she left right after succeeding?

“Okay, deal. But… are you really that confident?” Moon was baffled. Capturing a wild beast was not easy.

“Don’t worry!” Fang Yuan laughed and showed his pearly white teeth. He had good knowledge of the rivers nearby, and with three helpers, the efficiency naturally increased greatly.

He showcased his totem to persuade them. “Totem Possession!”

“What? You’ve reached the mid-stage?”

Moon covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and her face filled with astonishment.

Three days later.

Moon, Youjie, Qi, and Fang Yuan walked through a certain mountain range.

Youjie and Qi were full of joy. Only Moon had signs of dissatisfaction on her face. “Fang Yuan, why are we taking a risk if your fishing skills are so good?”

Even Moon was jealous of their progress over the past two days.

If Fang Yuan went all out fishing, they would have finished their test in no time.

“Of course, it’s because… I really want that three-tailed spiritual fox!” Fang Yuan replied matter-of-factly. “My totem has advanced over the past three days, and I might be able to reach the late Predatory realm if I can absorb the bloodline and spirit essence of a mutated beast!”

He had already prepared this reason, which was reasonable at this time.

Moon gave it some thought and took a deep breath. “Fang Yuan, I’ll give my all to help you. You have to succeed!”

For her revenge, she had no qualms about creating a powerful enemy for Dark.

“We’ve arrived. The three-tailed spiritual fox is in that cave in front!”

The four of them arrived at the foot of a three-peak mountain. Moon pointed to the cave. “Many caves are connected in this mountain. It’s a maze that not only does extends in all directions, but there are also some places where it’s very narrow. Only a fox can go through it. We’d be dreaming if we wanted to enter and catch the three-tailed spiritual fox. Therefore, we have to make a trap and draw it out!”

“How?” Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

“Don’t worry. I found a Vermilion Fruit. Spiritual foxes love these!”

Moon smiled and seemingly dug a fiery red fruit out of thin air. It emitted an alluring aroma.
