The totems that were left outside cave residence 9527 saw Su Mu and the ox demon put their arms around each other's shoulders and leave intimately.
They could not help but curse, "Hmph, greedy dog!"
"Damn it, sooner or later, this bastard will die from greed!"
"I think this 9527 newcomer is not a good person either!"
…
In the cave residence.
At this moment, the black egg's admiration for Su Mu was indescribable.
He never expected Su Mu to deal with the totems outside in a few words.
The black egg thought to itself, "If it were me, would I be able to do it?"
After thinking for a moment, it felt that it could do it too!
Thinking of this, the urge to speak appeared again. It could not help and tried to break through…
A moment later.
As expected, the black egg failed again…
It was not that he did not gain anything. This attempt at breaking through made it come closer to talking and transforming…
…
On the way to the foot of the mountain, Su Mu recalled the words Rong He had said to flatter him in his mind. He modified these words and told them to the ox demon.
The ox demon was overjoyed when he heard this. The way he looked at Su Mu became friendlier and friendlier. Moreover, he announced that when the Mountain Lord came out of seclusion, he would introduce Brother Mu to the Mountain Lord.
Hearing this, Su Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
"He's in seclusion. In that case, I can go a little overboard…"
The two of them walked unhurriedly and were getting closer and closer to the foot of the mountain where Su Mu had mentioned…
"Brother Mu, don't worry. I will definitely keep my word!"
The ox demon had learned a new move today, which was to pat his chest when he gave a promise. Needless to say, this made him seem more believable…
"I'm definitely not worried. How can I not trust Brother Ox!
"Go out and ask around. I, Mu, trust my brothers the most!"
The two of them kept flattering each other. Just like that, the originally two-hour journey took a total of six hours. In the end, they arrived at the place where the flower demon died…
It was mainly because the ox demon wanted to hear more of Su Mu's flattering words…
At the foot of the mountain, Su Mu arrived beside the ox demon. He tiptoed and put his arm over the ox demon's neck that was thicker than his thigh…
"Brother Ox, we're here."
"We're here? Where's the scourge that's been severely injured?"
Su Mu stretched out his hand and pointed at the empty area in front of him. The ox demon looked in the direction Su Mu was pointing in confusion.
In the next moment, Su Mu's hand transformed into a hand saber. Sharp metal element spiritual energy surrounded his palm. Before the ox demon could react, he quickly slashed at the ox demon's neck.
With a slash of his hand, two-thirds of the ox demon's neck was severed. The ox demon had a terrified expression and struggled to protect his neck with both hands…
Su Mu supported the ox demon and slowly placed him on the ground. "Take a deep breath. Don't be afraid. It won't be long…"
"Uh…" In the last moment of his death, the ox demon's eyes were filled with regret, confusion, anger, and other complicated emotions.
Su Mu was stunned. In his opinion, the ox demon was also a moody guy…
This time, he was not in a hurry to devour the ox demon. Instead, he touched the corpse and made sure to not miss any of the spots…
[Obtained cultivation technique: Spirit Body (1)]
Then, Su Mu touched the animal skin pocket on the ox demon's waist…
He pulled off the hide bag…
[Storage bag (low level)]
"Found it!"
Su Mu was overjoyed. He probed with his Spirit and encountered a barrier. Perhaps because the ox demon had died, the barrier was easily resolved by his Spirit.
The storage bag was five meters square. There were 300 white medicinal pills and some miscellaneous items inside. Su Mu took out one and placed it in his hand.
The system notification appeared.
[Faith Pill (low level): Consuming it can increase the Spirit of the totem and increase the spirituality of the tribe's totem.]
"Is this the Faith Pill? It's the hard currency of the totem domain."
According to the black egg's introduction, the Faith Pill was not only used for totems' cultivation, but it was also used to increase the time one stayed in the totem domain.
Generally speaking, totems that had just entered the totem domain would have a few Faith Pills. One pill could allow them to stay in the totem domain for an additional year.
There were very few totems like Su Mu who could only stay for 182 days after entering for the first time.
The reason was that Su Mu had not admitted that he was the Fire Tribe's totem.
If he admitted that he was a totem of the Fire Tribe, according to the black egg, Su Mu might obtain as many as 20 Faith Pills!
However, Su Mu would not admit it and never would.
After all, hadn't he escaped to cut ties with the Fire Tribe in the first place?
There was also a token in the storage bag. Su Mu took it out and wrote, "C*001 Gatekeeper."
After confirming again, Su Mu made sure that there was nothing left on the ox demon.
Only then did he choose the system to devour…
[Devour the ox demon. Choice reward: 1: Physique+1, 2: Cultivation technique fragment+3.]
The rewards were indeed worse than the flower demons.
Su Mu decisively chose Physique+1.
Then, he put the storage bag into his system backpack and ran up the mountain with the ox demon's token.
It took less than two hours.
Su Mu returned to the cave residence.
"You, and you, follow me. Lord Ox is looking for you!"
The two totems that were pointed at were stunned, but when they saw Su Mu flash the ox demon's token, the two of them could only follow obediently behind Su Mu.
On the way, in order to dispel their doubts, Su Mu deliberately reminded, "Lord Ox is feeling quite greedy today!"
After the two totems he had pointed out heard this, their faces revealed pained expressions.
They knew that they were about to lose out…
Their originally suspicious thoughts disappeared. They were thinking about what they should use to bribe that greedy ox demon later…
At the foot of the mountain.
At the place where the ox demon and the flower demon died…
"We're here."
Su Mu smiled and walked towards the two of them unhurriedly…
"We're here?"
"Where's Lord Ox?"
The two totems looked at Su Mu in confusion, wanting to hear Su Mu's explanation…
Unexpectedly, Su Mu's hands were suddenly wrapped in fire and metal spiritual energy. Moreover, he activated his Barbarian Body with all his strength, causing his body to emit an explosive and terrifying aura…
Before the two totems could react, Su Mu had already grabbed their necks…
"Lord Ox is waiting for you in the Netherworld, if the Netherworld even exists…"
As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted strength in his hand and two cracking sounds sounded. The two totems died and revealed their true forms…
[Obtained cultivation technique: Spirit Body (4)]
[Received Cultivation Technique: Spirit Body (1). Hint: You already have Spirit Body (1)*1.]
Perhaps the status of these two totems was inferior to the ox demon, but they did not have storage bags.
The Faith Pills were stashed in the hide bag on their waists.
Su Mu had gathered a total of 34 faith pills from the two totems. Compared to the ox demon, they weren't much poorer.
However, the rewards he obtained from them were much better than the ox demon.
Physique and Spirit+1, or cultivation technique fragments+4.
This time, Su Mu was not in a hurry to choose. He tried to save it so that he could choose it next time. Unexpectedly, it actually worked.
In a good mood, Su Mu used the same trick and returned to the mountain with the token.
Just like that, he brought back two people at a time. To be safe, he would never bring an additional person with him.
The totems in front of the cave residence decreased.
In the end, the last two totems were also brought down the mountain by Su Mu…
"The people just now each paid more than ten Faith Pills!"
With that said, the two totems behind Su Mu walked down the mountain with heartache.
At the same time, they cursed in their hearts.
"Damn it, this bastard even chose to stay at the foot of the mountain. He's really cautious. No wonder the Mountain Lord has always appointed him even though he's so greedy!"
