Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 167 The Secret Under the Teng Snake Totem

"I'm very sure this is a rune left by Old Five. In our time, Old Five was the only one proficient in divination and predicting the future. Where on earth has this damn fox been hiding? He hasn't shown up in all these years. He gives us a piece of information and still requires us to guess. Isn't he afraid that we will be directly devoured by the ferocious beast?"

"Guiyuan, don't get excited. Maybe Laowu is trapped like us and can't get out!"

Mona listened to the quarrel between the two elders, Guiyuan and Huncao, and silently calculated it in her heart.

"Bixi, Qingli, when you found this spider beast, it was next to the tribe on the seashore, right?"

"Yes, Jin Jue was driving a group of unicorns towards us at that time, and it might have been awakened by the shock."

Bixi answered Mona's words, and Bai Chen on the side followed up with a sentence.

"Na, are you asking this to confirm that the place where the ferocious beast appeared is where the senior is trapped?"

"Yes, I do have that idea. Rather than looking for a needle in a haystack, why don't we go to that location and see if we can find anything?"

After studying the runes, the two priests looked at the mutilated body with eight marks of severed limbs on either side. Then they asked:

"Where are its limbs?" Huncao asked everyone, pointing at the cuts on the limbs, and his eyes swept over the beast husbands.

"Oh, Master Priest, you are talking about its severed leg, right? It's here?"

Wushuang threw out the bundle of severed legs. They landed on the ground with a clang. The toes were still stubbornly stuck in the ground, half-hardened.

Two priests stepped forward, one looking up, the other touching down, closing their eyes and sensing carefully.

"Priest, you two are trying to sense where the spider beast is coming from by its feet. Correct?"

"I know you won't shut up and don't disturb the two high priests."

Jin Jue looked down at his feet. He was the one who was always hurt, and his heart was stabbed by Bai Chen again. Time passed by minute by minute, and the two priests finally opened their eyes.

"Haha! It came from the old site of the Teng Snake Clan!"

Priest Yun laughed at himself. He had hidden such a great leader in his own tribe without even realizing it. He must be getting old. It was time to find a new priest. Bai Chen clearly didn't believe it this time.

"Is it so strange? According to what you said before, if the senior said he was from the Fox Clan, he should be in the Spirit Fox Clan's residence. After being injured, he gave gifts to the Silver Wolf Clan, so they could also be recuperating in the Silver Wolf Clan. Why did he go to the Teng Snake Clan?"

"Bai Chen, why do you have so many questions? Let's go to the Teng Snake Clan's former site and look for it. We'll know once we take a look."

The Teng Snake tribe leader also stood up at this time, his brows furrowed.

"Our Tengshe tribe has also experienced hundreds of snow seasons there. We've never found anything special, let alone any kind of barrier."

"That's not necessarily true. The last time Tourmaline reverted to its original form and grew wings, transforming into a flying snake and flying into the sky, wasn't it cut by the barrier? Maybe there's some secret there!"

"Yes, let's go there and take a look."

Everyone was talking about it, and finally the priest Yun said, "Let's go to the old site of Teng Snake first." The group immediately set off to the old site of Teng Snake.

The former Teng Snake Tribe had become a dilapidated mess, with dead branches and weeds scattered everywhere. Everyone used hand knives to pick up the dead branches and weeds, setting them aside. Then, they slowly walked along the paved bluestone path into the Teng Snake Tribe. The former meeting hall was also covered in dust. Everyone's distress was evident.

"I haven't been here for a long time. This time I feel like I'm revisiting an old place."

The Teng Snake leader and the Teng Snake priest searched everywhere but found nothing unusual. Dejected, they sat down in the old square and stared at the sky in silence.

Mona and the beast husbands were also wandering around, looking for clues, and unexpectedly met the two of them in the square.

"Elders, priests, have you found anything?"

Bai Chen stepped forward and asked with concern, after all, this concerned the elders of his fox clan.

The Teng Snake elder and the priest both shook their heads. Bai Chen sighed silently. Mona came over to comfort Bai Chen. As they passed the spot where the Teng Snake totem had been placed, a shift occurred. Circles of blue light spread outward.

The priest and the Teng Snake leader suddenly stood up, staring at Mona for a while and then at the land. Mona was puzzled and walked straight past, and the halo disappeared immediately.

"Mistress, please return to your totem position!"

The priest eagerly pulled Mona, who looked confused but followed him to the totem ground. The blue halo was now more pronounced.

Mona covered her mouth in shock and looked at Bai Chen, who nodded. Mona understood immediately and stood there motionless, waiting for the next words. The Teng Snake leader was also quite surprised.

"Why haven't we ever noticed any energy fluctuations in this location? We didn't notice anything unusual when we moved the Soaring Snake Totem to the Valley of Ecstasy."

"There's a moderately large energy fluctuation here right now. It happened just as the miko was passing by, so it's definitely related to her."

"Perhaps the ancestors of our tribe were suppressed under this totem."

"What are you talking about? Suppression? We have no past or present grudges against your Fox Clan. Don't accuse us of anything. It will affect the friendship between the two clans. Bai Chen!"

The Teng Snake leader's words of explanation faltered after hearing Bai Chen's words. Bixi, worried that the situation would worsen, stepped forward to block the two's view.

"Maybe it's the energy left over from the totem. Don't worry, let's explore it slowly!" Bixi continued to communicate with Bai Chen.

"Bai Chen, I know you're worried about Senior. Think about it, since our totem has been moved, why can't he leave? This doesn't make sense, right?"

"Stop talking, everyone. Based on my experience with Guiyuan and Soul Grass, something must happen to Mona, or your family, to get us out. Mona, give it a try."

Elder Guiyuan handed Mona a dagger. Mona stepped forward and used it to cut her finger. Blood dripped drop by drop onto the totem. The blood spread out, echoing with the blue halo, creating layers of blue ripples on the ground.

There was a "bang" sound, like a blue firework exploding.

A deep pit appeared before everyone. A delicate, snow-white fox leaped out. Its pure white fur glowed with a faint blue light, and a touch of blue water on its forehead added to its allure.

At this time, Bai Chen was very excited. He really was my ancestor.

"Two seniors, come and take a look."

Huncao and Guiyuan walked over quickly and looked at the fox. Their eyes met. In an instant, tears welled up in each of them.

"You damn old man, you're really not dead?"

The fox shook its fur, howled, and transformed into a human form. A figure so beautiful it was difficult to tell whether she was male or female stood before them. If Wushuang was a gentleman on the street, then this was a beauty as beautiful as jade.

"You two old bastards are still alive, so how could I die? I've been trapped under this totem for such a long time, and none of you Tengshe tribe has noticed. You're all useless idiots. Especially you, a priest. If you can't even divine this, what's the point of having you?"

Mona stood aside, stunned.

This, this is too outrageous! He's a senior who showed up unexpectedly, and appeared out of nowhere without anyone knowing. What right does he have to scold the Teng Snake Clan's priest? Could it be that the Teng Snake Clan suppressed him? This is really strange. Mona's impression of this fox clan senior has dropped to the bottom. Her face is gloomy and she said nothing.

"What are you looking at? And you too. You've been paired with my junior for so long, and you're only now conceiving this cub. If it weren't for this cub, I wouldn't be able to get out. You're really giving me too much credit. You're so useless."

Mona was on the verge of tears. What was going on? Was this senior out of control? He was just accusing anyone he caught. But after all, he was a senior, so she had no choice but to put on a smile and ask:

"Senior, I don't understand a single word you said."
