Chapter 105: Unexpected Twists!
Chapter 105: Unexpected Twists!
Early in the morning, when the sky was just turning light, Gao Jing left Shan Yue Village.
He went to hunt in the mountains and forests.
For a Totem Warrior to become truly strong, just staying shut indoors wouldn’t work at all; they had to train their skills, courage, and will in constant fights to bring out their full potential.
To achieve breakthroughs and advancement!
With the amazing Bronze Anchor in his hand,
if Gao Jing only wanted to live freely and comfortably,
he could have stayed hidden in the Shan Yue Tribe, living easy as a transporter between worlds.
No need to work hard anymore, no need to practice combat skills under the hot sun, no need to eat rough beast meat every day.
With wealth traded from the Great World, he could live a life of luxury in the Primary World.
But that wasn’t the real Gao Jing.
He had walked the Path of Transcendence, seen more and farther sights, and seen higher levels of life.
He also wanted to see the bigger world outside.
That path was sure to be covered in thorns, filled with many dangers and hard times.
But it was Gao Jing’s strong and unshakeable choice!
Even if it meant risking his life, it was worth it!
Without that hard heart and bravery, he couldn’t have come this far or gained what he has now.
The thin mist over the fields hadn’t gone yet, the pale sky showed signs of clearing, and the morning wind blew against Gao Jing’s face, carrying the smell of last night’s rain and the scent of earth, grass, and trees.
Gao Jing took a deep breath of the cool, damp air, then strode off toward the hunting grounds of the Shan Yue Giants.
Using fights to sharpen himself didn’t mean he had to put his life at risk.
Even though Gao Jing was now a Totem Warrior, he wasn’t bold enough to take on those giant Wild Beasts.
Going back to the hunting ground he’d tested last time was a great choice.
That area had been swept clean many times by hunters from the village fort, so hardly any fierce beasts were left.
And there were plenty of good targets for Gao Jing.
Like the Velociraptors the Elder Shaman called “fluffy chicks.”
Honestly, the name “fluffy chicks” was really hard for Gao Jing to accept.
But if he said Velociraptors, he’d be laughed at by the Giants.
Because “dragons” were top Monster Beasts in the Great Wilderness.
And even Monster Beasts with just a tiny bit of dragon blood or ties.
Were also mighty beings!
Besides Velociraptors, Gru Goblins were good opponents too.
If he met them again this time, he didn’t plan to use fire bottles to cheat.
With that thought, he sped up and dashed forward.
This time, Gao Jing got to the spot in less than an hour.
Perpetually boosted with the Primordial Totem, he now had extraordinary Totemic Power.
Gao Jing’s body got much stronger in every way.
His strength, stamina, endurance, speed, sense, and all that improved a lot.
He could run for dozens of kilometers non-stop and barely breathe hard.
Oh! Oh!
What Gao Jing didn’t expect was,
just after he broke into the thick mountain woods,
he spotted two Velociraptors up ahead around a bloody wild rabbit, eating greedily.
Another Velociraptor was nearby, watching hungrily and calling out.
The wide fields around Shan Yue Village had lots of animals: big Wild Beasts like Savage Oxen and Horned Sheep, and small ones like wild rabbits and field mice.
Wild rabbits bred fast, and as he ran, Gao Jing bumped into a few now and then.
He didn’t need the rabbit meat, so he didn’t want to waste time or effort hunting them.
So he steered clear when he saw them and didn’t think of killing them.
Rabbits are so cute…
But the Velociraptors clearly didn’t care; they gobbled the rabbit happily.
Gao Jing popping up suddenly spooked these three Velociraptors.
They thought he was after their food, so they dropped their prey, spread out fast, and rushed at him from all sides.
It was the flanking move Velociraptors loved best!
Perfect timing!
Without a thought, Gao Jing yanked off his jacket and shoved it, along with his backpack, into his Storage Space.
“Wuha!”
The next moment, he roared at the charging Velociraptors!
This was the battle cry of the Great Wilderness Giants.
Handed down since ancient days, it never changed.
It woke up the courage and strength in their blood, firing up warriors to face the fight!
The Titan Totem flashed onto Gao Jing’s back, and the Crimson Python Rune burned into his heart blazed out Totemic Power.
This Totemic Power was what Gao Jing had saved up bit by bit before, and now it burst out strong.
His bones cracked like rain on big leaves, muscles bulged up, and he blew up big fast.
Rip!
His pants tore open, showing his thick, knotted thigh muscles!
But Gao Jing didn’t mind one bit; instead, he felt thrilling joy as battle heat and fire soared inside him.
Thud!
His fierce-power-filled fist smashed hard into the skull of a Velociraptor that had just jumped at him.
Right on target, mean, and brutal!
In Giant Form, Gao Jing towered over 2.5 meters tall, and his strength shot way up.
He stayed planted, punching once and blowing the sneak-attacker’s head apart!
Red and white and green and black.
Blood, skin, bones, and brain stuff flew all over!
Right after, Gao Jing swung up his right leg and kicked out hard.
He hit another Velociraptor square in the belly and chest, kicking it flying tens of meters away.
It rammed into a huge tree, snapping bones and tearing flesh!
Thanks to his two companions’ “sacrifice,” the third Velociraptor finally found its chance to attack. It opened its bloodthirsty maw and lunged at Gao Jing’s neck.
But before its fangs could sink in, Gao Jing’s left hand snapped back and clamped tightly around its neck.
Crack!
He snapped it in half!
In just a few seconds, all three Velociraptors that had once posed a great threat to him were dead.
It truly was like killing baby chicks!
Gao Jing hadn’t expected this himself.
He had become this strong now!
The gap between a Totem Warrior and an ordinary warrior was just too vast.
Dropping the Velociraptor carcasses, Gao Jing took a long, deep breath.
He felt unsatisfied.
It seemed Velociraptors were no longer suitable training opponents for him.
They offered absolutely no challenge at all.
He shook his head and retrieved clothes from his Storage Space, putting them on.
The Titan Totem suited him perfectly.
It was just this one issue that was troublesome – enlarging himself without first stripping would always ruin his clothes.
So Gao Jing kept plenty of spare clothes, pants, and shoes in his Storage Space. Otherwise, he’d end up running around naked!
“Gluurrg!” “Glurrrrg!”
No sooner had Gao Jing finished dressing than nearby bushes shook violently. Rustling sounds came from within,
followed by cries he knew all too well.
No way?
The endless stream of Gru Goblins appearing all around left Gao Jing momentarily stunned.
Were these Velociraptors kept by the goblins?
Last time, after he killed Velociraptors, it drew a huge swarm of goblins attacking him.
Now it was happening again!
Was killing feather-dusters like baby chicks some kind of ritual to summon Green Skins?
The absurdity of it all made Gao Jing feel dizzy.
But it didn’t matter.
Seeing the surrounding Green Skins leveling their spears menacingly, he sneered coldly and pulled out his Machete.
He wouldn’t rely on the Crimson Snake Aura.
He wouldn’t use any fire grenades.
He wouldn’t even activate the Titan Totem.
Gao Jing still felt confident he could finish off all these dirty, ugly guys right here!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as the new battle seemed ready to start, the ground suddenly began to shake.
Heavy footsteps grew louder and closer, thudding rapidly toward their position.
Something massive was approaching!
Gao Jing’s expression changed.
And all around him, the Green Skins began to show undisguised fear.
They looked at each other in panic.
Then, suddenly, they dropped their weapons and scrambled to run away in terror.
It was like doomsday had arrived.
The footsteps stopped abruptly.
Right behind Gao Jing!
Tiny beads of sweat formed on Gao Jing’s forehead.
His lips tightened into a grim smile, and his grip tightened around the Machete.
He spun around!!
