As soon as Yuan Jing said this, Xiong Feng, who was on guard against Hu Jin, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and sneered softly to express his mockery.
The shameless Hu Jin was only embarrassed for a moment, then he regained his composure and did not take Xiong Feng's ridicule seriously. He explained, "Actually, there is a reason for doing this. Before Xiong An Ning showed up, I got a message from a big tribe. Their priests got a prophecy according to the will of the beast god."
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is it related to Xiong Anning?"
"Indeed, the prophecy says that the Orc Continent will change, and this change will be centered around a subhuman from a barren continent. When the prophecy pointed out that this subhuman was about to appear on the Orc Continent, someone arrived in advance to help Xiong Anning, allowing him and the people with him to successfully come to our continent. That person is Lang Tian."
Hearing this, Yuan Jing finally understood how the tribes that were with Xiong Anning crossed the long river and came here. It turned out that it was thanks to Langtian and the Wolf Tribe. The plot did mention that Xiong Anning met an orc who was stranded there and brought them to the rich continent, but the plot did not mention that this orc went there specifically to wait for Xiong Anning to appear.
Likewise, the plot does not mention the prophecies of the priests of these large tribes.
"Although our fox tribe is only a medium-sized tribe, we are well-informed. No other tribe can compare to us. So after knowing the plans of these large tribes, I decided to meet this sub-human to see what is so special about him. I'm sure you all know what happened later. There are indeed some unusual things about Xiong Anning. He knows a lot of things, but sometimes he seems very ordinary. At first I couldn't see how he was going to change the Orc Continent, but later when I saw Shi Yang and Yi Huang gathered around Xiong Anning, I roughly understood, so I stayed and might as well get a piece of the pie."
Xiong Feng sneered twice again, and Yuan Jing touched his chin. He didn't expect the truth to be like this. It seemed a little absurd, but the development of the plot was the same as what Hu Jin said. Xiong Anning built the largest city with the orcs gathered around him and broke the boundaries between the tribes. The Orc Continent did change because of him.
But is it the prophecy that drives the plot forward in the direction of the prophecy, or is it that the trajectory of fate is supposed to be like this and the prophecy only appears under its impetus?
Hu Jin also looked at Yuan Jing with interest and said, "Do you think that the direction of this prophecy is correct, but they have mistaken the person? The sub-human in this prophecy is not Xiong An Ning, but you, Bao Yuan Jing? Just based on the purified beast core you took out, without doing anything, the situation in the Orc Continent will be turbulent?"
Yuan Jing shrugged and said, "I just like to watch and have no interest in participating in the prophecy in person. I always believe that everything depends on human effort. Besides, a priest once equated me with the devil, and I can't bear such a heavy burden."
Although Yuan Jing said this, Hu Jin felt more and more that the direction he inferred was correct. Fortunately, he escaped. What good would it be for others to follow Xiong An Ning to the end?
On the third day after Hu Jin and Yuan Jing talked, energy surged again above the Lizard Tribe, and the people from various tribes who came to congratulate were all alarmed. Could it be that someone from the Lizard Tribe had made a breakthrough and advanced? Were they so favored by the Beast God?
The Lizard Chief came out to maintain order and explained, "It's not us Lizards who are breaking through, but the guest from the Fox Clan, Hu Chun, who is advancing."
The priest of the fox tribe came out and explained to everyone in a good mood: "Chief Lizard is right. The person who advanced is none other than our fox tribe's Hu Chun. I didn't expect that he would have some realizations when he came to celebrate with Chief Lizard. I think this is the good luck that Chief Lizard has brought to our fox tribe. Thank you, Beast God!"
No one believed a word the fox priest said. They all surrounded the lizard tribe leader and priest, asking what the secret of this breakthrough was. In their opinion, Hu Chun's advancement must be related to the lizard tribe. He didn't break through earlier or later, but only broke through when he came to the lizard tribe. The less they said, the more these people wanted to know.
The Lizard Chief and the Priest were entangled by these people and couldn't get away at all. They were dizzy and confused by everyone's questioning, but they couldn't expose the Stegosaurus Tribe. This was also agreed at the beginning, and it would only work if Yuan Jing and the Stegosaurus Tribe agreed.
"Everyone, please be patient, we will talk after Hu Chun advances."
Those who came to congratulate the Lizard Chief were all from small and medium-sized tribes. The large tribes only sent one or two people to take a walk around as a symbol. They were supposed to leave after they came, but this time they couldn't leave. They hurriedly tried to find a way to report what was happening here back to the tribe. If the Lizard Tribe continued to behave like this, with high-level totem warriors appearing one after another, what advantages would the large tribes have?
The tribe was in turmoil, but Yuan Jing, Xiong Feng and the others were hiding in the back, as if they had no idea that the noise outside was caused by them.
Yuan Jing leaned on the big panda, with a soft belly and hair behind him. The cushion was quite comfortable. He had thought that when he returned to the present world, he would customize a few more panda dolls. The more realistic the better. It would be very comfortable to pet them or use them as cushions.
Some little Asian people from the tribe discovered them and quietly climbed up this "Panda Mountain". In order not to disturb Yuan Jing, Xiong Feng turned a blind eye to these little Asian people and let them crawl all over his body.
When Yuan Jing opened his eyes and discovered Xiong Feng's situation, he chuckled. Xiong Feng shook lightly, and the little Asian cubs climbing on the "Panda Mountain" fell down one by one, crying. When Yuan Jing took out the delicious food, they pounced on it one by one, fighting for it and making a mess. This reminded Yuan Jing of the scene of the little Asian cubs playing in the Stegosaurus tribe.
Although they saw others being promoted to high-level totem warriors one after another, Xiong Gu and the others were not anxious, because Yuan Jing had reminded them not to rush to take the purified high-level beast cores, but to lay a solid foundation. Only when they were just one line away from reaching the peak could they take them, and the effect would be better.
Xiong Gu and the others listened to Yuan Jing's words in their cultivation. After Yuan Jing's explanation, they finally understood why these orcs were stuck at a bottleneck and unable to advance to high-level totem warriors. This made them take it as a warning, and they would rather spend more time purifying and tempering the energy core in their bodies, making it as pure as possible.
When Hu Chun walked out of his house, he had already become a high-level totem warrior. The fox people were very excited. They also had high-level totem warriors and there was no need to envy other tribes.
Hu Jin was also excited. He had been planning for this moment. Instead of relying on a powerful tribe, it would be better for his own tribe to become strong.
Hu Chun patted his shoulder and said, "This time it's all thanks to you, Hu Jin. Work hard. You have better talent than me, and you will definitely become a high-level totem warrior."
The fox clan had previously placed their hopes on Fox Gold to become a high-level totem warrior, and now they feel this even more so, and his path to becoming a high-level totem warrior will be easier than before.
Hu Jin smiled: "This is what I should do. I am also a member of the fox clan. The fox clan is strong, so I have the confidence to go out."
"That's right, haha, our fox tribe has finally waited for this day."
Hu Chun's promotion once again made the people of the small and medium-sized tribes envious and jealous. They urged the Lizard Tribe and the Fox Tribe to quickly announce the secret of the promotion.
The two high-level totem warriors sitting together made the people from the small and medium-sized tribes dare not move rashly. The pressure was too great, and they were worried that they would continue to keep the secret and the fate of their tribes would not be changed.
The Lizard Chief and Fox Chun smiled at each other. Fox Chun said, "We know that everyone is eager to know why we were able to advance to high-level totem warriors. Is there a shortcut? Yes, today we will tell you that there is a shortcut."
The people sitting around were immediately shocked. Is there really a shortcut? What does it rely on? What is the price to get it?
"Since we are sitting here, it means that we will not hide it from everyone. We have decided to make this secret public. The Lizard Chief and I were able to break through this time thanks to two things, one is the potion, and the other is the beast core."
Hu Chun put out two things. The potion was used to remove impurities from the body and regulate energy, and the beast core was of course a purified beast core.
Everyone stared at the two things, a little bit unable to believe their ears, could they really advance by relying on these two things? And not some magical fruit?
Hu Chun explained the functions of these two things, and everyone understood that this beast core was not an ordinary beast core, but a purified beast core, and its function was almost the same as that of the divine fruit. However, the high-level divine fruit was almost invisible, but the high-level beast core still existed.
"It's not easy to purify this beast core, and this potion is also difficult to make, so we decided to exchange ten beast cores for one such purified beast core, and the number of purified beast cores is limited. The earlier you arrive, the sooner you get one. If you are late, you will miss out. As long as you exchange for a beast core, this potion is given to you. Of course, if the number of beast cores is insufficient, you can also trade them with divine fruits."
"The Lizard Chief and I have both been at a bottleneck for many years, so we only need one or two of these high-level beast cores to break through. Of course, primary and intermediate beast cores are also very beneficial to the cultivation of orcs. They can be taken continuously. As long as you completely absorb the energy in the beast core and rest for a few days, you can take the next one without worrying about any adverse effects."
"Purifying the beast core can help me and the Lizard Chief break through and advance. I think this is enough to explain many problems."
At first there was a sound of rapid breathing all around, and some orcs had red eyes, which showed how strong their desire to increase their strength and make breakthroughs was. When Hu Chun finished speaking, the scene immediately exploded.
How many beast cores can everyone carry with them? At most, they would encounter a ferocious beast along the way, kill it casually, and then put the beast core on them, so the first thing everyone wanted to do was to go back and get the beast core to trade.
"We don't have our beast core with us, can we reserve one with you first?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they received immediate responses from many tribes. They also wanted to finalize this matter as soon as possible. Even though ten high-level beast cores could be exchanged for one purified high-level beast core, seeing the eager eyes of the people from other tribes, they no longer had any intention of bargaining. They just wanted to grab it first and not wait any longer.
"Okay, those who want to make a reservation should come to the Lizard Chief to register first. However, if you fail to bring the beast core to trade within the time limit, the reservation will be invalidated. Do you have any objections?"
"Sure, no problem. Just leave us the beast core and we'll set off immediately and come back as quickly as possible."
The scene was as noisy as a bustling market. In order to fight for a beast core, the beastmen of some tribes almost fought each other. The people of the Lizard Tribe hid aside and watched this rare scene. Only then did these tribesmen know how their chief had achieved a breakthrough. It turned out to be this purified beast core.
Many orcs also have such beast cores in their hands, and they are itching to get them. They wonder if they can take them out for trading, but they have to ask the priests and clan leaders privately about this matter.
In the following time, people came and went in the Lizard Tribe, and this phenomenon did not slow down until the rainy season came. It was drizzling outside, but it could not stop the enthusiasm of the tribes. Even the small tribes tried their best to exchange for purified beast cores. They were the most oppressed and lived the most miserable days. Not only were they bullied by the medium and large tribes, but they also faced the plunder of ferocious beasts on the ground and in the air.
During this period, Yuan Jing and his party did not stay in the Lizard Tribe. Before the rainy season came, they entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to practice. The rain did not have much impact on such practice. This time, Lizze and Hu Jin also followed.
Before Yuan Jing left, he left behind enough purified beast cores and potions, and handed over the task of trading entirely to the Lizard Tribe and the Fox Tribe. He was not worried that they would embezzle these things. To form an alliance with them, a certain amount of trust had to be given, and he believed that his value was greater than these purified beast cores. With him around, there would be a steady supply of purified beast cores.
When they arrived at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, they found that there were more orcs here than the last time they came back. Their purpose was of course different from Yuan Jing and his party's pure practice. They came here to hunt ferocious beasts to obtain beast cores, and to exchange more before the purified beast cores were all exchanged.
Occasionally they would meet other orcs and hear them talking about the purification of beast cores. As more and more purified beast cores were exchanged, news of breakthroughs continued to come out, which made the orcs and tribes who were skeptical at first become determined.
While Yuan Jing and his party continued to practice in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains, the three large tribes could not remain calm.
Following the Lizard Tribe and the Fox Tribe, another medium-sized tribe of orcs successfully advanced to become a high-level totem warrior, and were willing to form an alliance with the Fox Tribe and the Lizard Tribe, meaning that the three tribes would fight together against the pressure from the three major tribes.
Even Shi Yang and others could not remain calm. When the orcs they looked down upon in the past broke through and became intermediate totem warriors, they panicked. When breaking through became so easy, how could they maintain their former pride?
Because of this incident, the few people sat together harmoniously again. Yihuang was in an abnormal mood at first because he was captured by the Lizard Tribe. After he came back, he was scolded by the tribe leader and the priest. He has been locked up until now and was released only now. He came to find Xiong An Ning as soon as he came out, which made the tribe leader and the priest a little disappointed.
They want to control and manipulate Xiong Anning, the sub-human, rather than be controlled and manipulated by Xiong Anning, the sub-human.
"It is certain that Hu Jin has betrayed us. An Ning, don't think about Hu Jin anymore. It's obvious that he is not a good person."
"Yes, An Ning. Someone saw him, Xize, and the people from the Sword Dragon Tribe entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range together. Maybe Yihuang fell into their hands because of Hu Jin's betrayal. Otherwise, how could Yihuang fall into their hands so easily?"
"I..." Xiong Anning still couldn't believe this fact. "Hu Jin may have his own reasons. Yes, it was the Fox Tribe that forced him to do this. I want to meet Hu Jin and ask him why. We got along so well before."
Perhaps there is a saying that can describe Xiong Anning's mentality, which is that "a man is not loved unless he is a bad man". Hu Jin's charming face often makes Xiong Anning blush. He doesn't think that Hu Jin will easily change his mind. They were obviously so happy before, and without Hu Jin's personal admission, he doesn't believe that Hu Jin will betray their feelings.
It must be Bao Yuanjing, yes, it must be him, because Bao Yuanjing was also there when he entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, why did this man specifically go against him? Obviously, he only needed to give him the method of controlling dinosaurs, and he could let Shi Yang and Hu Li take care of their stegosaurus tribe and let them move to this continent.
Shi Yang and the others didn't believe such words at all. Hu Jin was as cunning as other fox orcs. Looking at An Ning's current appearance, it was clear that she was blinded by Hu Jin's cunning.
Yi Huang said excitedly: "I saw with my own eyes that Hu Jin was with the people of the Lizard Tribe and the Stegosaurus Tribe. He saw me being captured and was still talking and laughing with those people. He must have been the one who informed them that I was captured. An Ning, why don't you believe me?"
"Yihuang, don't force me..." Xiong Anning said painfully.
Shi Yang and others immediately spoke up to smooth things over. They had no doubt about Yi Huang's words. Hu Jin really betrayed them, but An Ning was kind-hearted and couldn't accept it for a while. In fact, they were only happy that Hu Jin was gone, because this guy was the most cunning and could turn into such a small beast form so that An Ning would always hold him.
"That's until Fox Gold comes out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains. The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains are very dangerous, and it's not suitable for us to go in now. Besides, we have to think of a way to purify the beast cores. If we can't get this method, we can only let those medium-sized tribes continue to grow stronger and threaten us. An Ning, do you want to see that kind of situation?"
"Of course I don't want to. I hope you're all fine." Xiong Anning certainly didn't want to see a force that could threaten his beloved tribe. Why would the Purifying Beast Core appear? He even suspected that Leopard Yuanjing was specifically designed to defeat him. It seemed that the Purifying Beast Core appeared after Leopard Yuanjing came to this continent.
"Could the purification of the beast core also be related to Leopard Yuanjing?"
"You think so too?" She Rui asked in surprise.
Xiong Anning spread his hands and said, "Isn't it only after they appear here that the Purification Beast Core will appear?"
“It’s just a hypothesis.”
However, several orcs still reported Xiong Anning's speculation to their own tribes, especially the top leaders of the three major tribes, which caused controversy again.
"Now that the beast cores have been traded, we sent people to contact the Lizard Tribe, and they said that the purified beast cores they had were gone. Could it really be related to that Stegosaurus Tribe?"
"Impossible. Don't the Stegosaurus tribe come from that remote and barren continent? How could they solve the problem that we have been unable to solve for so many years?"
"But don't forget that Xiong Anning also came from that continent. Do you think the original prophecy was wrong?"
"You mean the subhuman named Bao Yuanjing? Impossible! The prophecy at that time clearly pointed to Xiong Anning."
