The golden tree kept forcing me to run eastward. My heart was beating really fast because I was so scared that I wouldn't get to the shelter on time. However, my feet still carried me running away, away from the shelter. I wanted to curse myself, but then my eyes widened at what lay before me. In an instant, my legs stopped running.I saw that in front of me stretched out a clearing and on it grew a lot of plants that I had never seen before. In the center was the strangest growth, golden in color, but very familiar looking. It took me a few minutes to realize that the plant looked familiar because Rex had studied it. I delved into Rex's mind and my eyes widened as I realized that what I saw were golden herbs that were extremely valuable for healing, strength enhancement, and many other functions. Golden herbs are extremely rare and extremely precious.“So because of this,” I muttered when I understood why the golden tree had brought me here.I immediately approached cautiously to the
“Bloody hell!” I cursed when I heard the all-too-familiar buzzing sound.A moment later, I could see from behind the trees a swarm of fat mosquitoes starting to appear. My old friends were getting hungry. The wolf immediately growled and she stared at me. She lowered her body and I understood what she meant. She wanted me to climb on her back.I quickly jumped on her back and the wolf began to spread her wings. The golden herbs healed her wings quickly and now she could fly fast. We shot up into the sky and I was terrified. I shouted while clinging tightly to the wolf's back. The baby wolf that was flying beside me snorted as if he was laughing at me.However, this was not the time for jokes. I looked back and realized that the giant mosquitoes had started chasing us. But this wolf flew much faster and from her direction, I already knew that she was taking me back to the shelter. She knows our shelter apparently."Thanks, buddy," I said to her, gently stroking her head. The wolf lower
I don't know what he'll give me as a gift, but since I've brought him the Golden Herbs, he should be giving me something worth it in return, right? I wish he'd give me something like a day off to face danger and eat as many as I want, or something like that. Holidays are a luxury in my eyes now.The High Priest ordered one of his apprentices to take the golden herbs from my hands and I voluntarily handed them over.“Come with me,” the High Priest said to me.I just nodded and followed behind him. As we walked, all eyes turned to me and I had to play the fool. I don't know how long they will stare at me like they're staring at a strange creature and maybe over time I'll get used to it. Rais Musi and Aran watched me with their faces scrunched up and I smiled because I thought they looked funny.This was probably the first time a new totem warrior like me who failed to awaken many times visited the priests' shrine. I just recently saw apprentices who looked very different from us who wer
I couldn't help myself, I kept seeing several patterns and suddenly one pattern that caught my attention appeared very clearly before my eyes. “Kid? Are you okay?” The High Priest asked. I couldn't answer even though I wanted to. My eyes kept moving as I watched the patterns that kept appearing before me and I couldn't stop. “Rex Hito!” he called out my name. I started to panic because the apprentices had started to get on their guard but I couldn't stop or even answer. They started standing around me, ready in case something happened. “Rex Hito! Can you hear me?” cried the High Priest again. Suddenly I could control myself but I felt so weak I fell to the ground. I really should learn to control the power of the golden tree next time. I don't know what will happen now because I feel a strong urge to do something according to the pattern I saw earlier. I'm also curious, with the pattern I saw earlier, what can I make? “Rex! Are you all right?” asked the High Priest again. "Let
“He can make weapons using totem dominos!” one person exclaimed. Astonished voices rang out from all directions and I felt like I was the center of attention again. What's so special about being able to make totem dominoes? I asked around and immediately got the answer from Rex Hito's mind. Unfortunately, not everyone could make totem dominoes, only the High Priest and his apprentices. It was very rare for a Totem Warrior to be able to do it alone. God, the golden tree really put me in the spotlight."You're asking me to duel?" asked Rais Musi with bulging eyes full of anger.“No,” I answered quickly while lowering the dagger I just made using the totem domino.I put it back on the pile of bones and apparently the dagger can be stored in it as if it disappeared. My movements were too fast but I didn't show any fear. Maybe my face looked arrogant so Rais snorted at me."You are afraid to fight me, child?" he asked.Of course, damn it! I've never fought a Totem Warrior before and I know
“We will return tomorrow to our village with all the food supplies. Our journey will not be easy, so we should all take a good rest. Rex Hito, you will start your studies as soon as we arrive at our village,” said the High Priest.“F-fine,” I stammered a little and my voice was a little hoarse because I was so nervous.My heart raced and it felt like my body was turning cold. Maybe because I was too excited. Finally I experienced an improvement in my life in totem warrior. In my heart I thank the golden tree that has brought me to this stage. I just need to learn how to control his strength which sometimes gets too much.Rais Musi and Aran naturally didn't like this, but after the High Priest said that we should rest, everyone started leaving tonight's exciting show. They started going into the tent to rest."We'll see, kid. You are exactly like that traitor. No one will be able to help you later," Rais said to me as he passed me and deliberately nudged Rex's small body so that I almo
I walked silently following the line. The farther we walked, the more Khores told us to speed up our steps. I understand because the sun is about to set and we are still quite far from the village. So far, there's been no real danger because we're using flaming torches to guard us both the front and the back. I saw the logistics team like Noe and Rea looking more relaxed on the way back. Of course, they would be protected because they were the ones carrying the valuables now, the food.The sound of ugly screams startled me and I looked up at the sky. I widened my eyes because up there were two ugly bald birds with big claws. It's the vulture. Of course, they were interested in the groceries we brought. That must be very appetizing."Oh shit," I cursed under my breath.However, it turned out that my curse was heard by several people around me. They looked at me."Stay cool. We have lots of flaming torches. We'll be fine,” said a totem warrior.I just nodded. Maybe I overreacted because
“Defensive formation!” cried the High Priest again.The apprentices then made a different move. They then made a light that covered us all like a shield. Unfortunately, the shield was formed too late so a creature from the shadow managed to get inside. One of the shadow monsters severed the neck of a child from the logistics team. I don't know what his name is. I was about to shoot the monster, but someone already did it and failed. Of course, those monsters are made of shadows that cannot be killed with normal weapons.“Fire blasts!” shouted Khores suddenly.When he called out like that, I actually saw that Khores' eyes were shining like fire. He then stretched out his hands and from them came a blazing fire. Khores is a top class totem warrior and I was really hoping that super cool attack just now was able to stun the monster, but it didn't. The monster just screamed, its movements seemed to show that it didn't like the light of the fire, but the fire couldn't paralyze it at all.T
