In the end, Leaf managed to snatch two deep-fried Datura Fruits during the chaos.
Some people wanted to bully him, but they were scared away by his fierce gaze.
After going through the gates of hell just now, the teenager would not make the mistake of being merciful again.
His fierceness when he ambushed the strongest man and his seemingly thin body formed a stark contrast. Besides, his right arm was twice as long as his left arm, and it lurked in dirty water like a python. It left a deep impression on others.
He was not a pushover.
He still had deep-fried Datura Fruits.
There was no need for him to risk his life against this lunatic.
Leaf returned to Meng Chao's side smoothly.
He rubbed the bruises on his face and grimaced in pain, but he did not dare to look into the harvester's eyes.
"Honestly, if you had stabbed him in the throat, you wouldn't have needed to suffer," Meng Chao analyzed the situation without any emotion.
"I-I don't know whether I should have killed him. After all, he wasn't the one who destroyed Half Mountain Village. Besides, his hometown might have been destroyed by the warriors, just like Half Mountain Village."
The teenager lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Harvester. Did my performance disappoint you?"
"I'm indeed a little disappointed in your performance in battle, but I'm not disappointed in you at all. In fact, I'm getting more and more surprised."
Meng Chao smiled faintly and said, "Looks like I can teach you some killing moves that are even more powerful without worrying about you turning into a slave to the desire to kill."
The teenager was stunned for a moment before he released a long sigh.
He had a vague feeling that …
Even though the killing intent that the harvester occasionally released was even fiercer and fiercer than that of the minotaur warriors with broken horns.
But the reapers were different from the warriors of the clans who slaughtered the weak while shouting "glory".
Leaf brought out two deep-fried Datura Fruits. He compared them and handed the larger one to Meng Chao.
Meng Chao did not hold back.
Just now, he had helped Leaf clear his spirit meridians and activate his vitality magnetic field, and he had used up the spirit energy he had accumulated over the past few days.
He needed a stable source of food that was filled with nutrients and spirit energy so that he could recover as soon as possible and return to the peak of his fighting strength.
While he chewed, Meng Chao thought about it.
"Leaf, I know that you don't want to remember those painful scenes, but I still want you to repeat the entire process of my big brother's death, especially the details of how the minotaur warrior with the broken horns activated his totem. Trust me, this is very important to us," Meng Chao said apologetically.
Ye was not in too much pain.
For the Turanians, dying a heroic death on the battlefield was a great honor. It was worth repeating and even praising.
This was especially true for the rat people who had low bloodlines and didn't have the chance to die in battle during the prosperous era.
Therefore, Ye had already imprinted the scene of her elder brother fighting against the Ox-head Warrior with a broken horn in her mind.
In particular, the fact that his brother had actually slashed a wound on the shoulder of a clan warrior was even more worthy of being written about.
But Meng Chao's attention was on the totem.
"So, a totem is a very exquisite, bright, and gorgeous tattoo that seems to have a life of its own?" He fell into deep thought.
"It's not a normal tattoo. It's a tattoo made by grinding down the bones of a totem beast and adding a lot of ores dug out from the depths of the ground. Then, it's modified with a very mysterious method. In the end, it's a tattoo made with the blessings of the ancestral spirits," Ye said seriously.
"Only the priests know how to modify this sort of tattoo. It's completely different from normal tattoos."
"I understand now. Then, you said that when the blood of the Ox-head Warrior with the broken horns burst forth and his murderous aura shot into the sky, the tattoo on his body also shone, and liquid metal flowed out of his pores?" Meng Chao continued asking.
"Liquid metal?" Ye did not quite understand this concept.
Meng Chao thought about it and said, "It's like resin, mud, and insect mucus? It's metal that flows slowly?"
Ye nodded.
"That's right. Now that Lord Harvester mentioned it, I think that the metal that comes out of the Ox-head Warrior with the broken horns is really different from the ores we occasionally dig out. It's like it's alive and squirming slowly, just like the mucus of an animal."
"It's alive and squirming slowly. Mucus of an animal? Biological liquid metal? That's interesting! "
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he asked, "Once it was created into an incredibly monstrous form, the biological liquid metal quickly gathered together and turned into a mighty and domineering armor. Are you sure that it's metal armor and that it's something that really exists and not just spirit energy armor? "
The teenager did not understand the concept of spirit energy armor, but he did.
"Of course it's real armor. I can see sparks from the friction between the armor and hear the sounds of the armor clashing against each other!
"It's not shining and semi-transparent like what Lord Harvester said. Of course, there's a possibility that it doesn't need to use too much power to fight against an opponent at my brother's level.
"After he won against my brother, the totem armor turned into what Lord Harvester said … biological liquid metal. It was absorbed by the Ox-head Warrior with the broken horns, and it turned back into a tattoo."
"Is that so …"
Meng Chao had once thought that totem power was an ability similar to spirit energy turning into armor.
It could release a great amount of spirit energy and form a dazzling layer of pure energy armor on the surface of the body.
But based on Leaf's description and the increasingly clearer memories of his previous life, it was clear that this was not the case.
First of all, totems were not as simple as spirit energy.
Aside from pure energy, they also had a lot of biological liquid metal as their physical foundation.
Second, the spirit energy armor of superhumans was a high-grade skill that could only be used by those who were six-star superhumans.
This was a benefit that only a few people could enjoy, and it could not help most Dragon Citizens increase their strength.
Totems weren't everywhere in Turanze, but they weren't that rare either.
Basically, the clan warriors with a bit of inheritance all had their own totem.
Even though totems varied in strength and size, they could all be formed into armor, or at the very least, the parts of armor could be used to strengthen some limbs.
If this was compared to the power system of Dragon City's civilization, as long as a person reached Earth Realm, they would have the right to have totems implanted in them.
And the veteran warriors and high-class priests of the five clans usually had more than one totem.
If he summoned three to five totems at the same time, not only would he be able to put on layers of composite armor outside of his body of flesh and blood, his body, which was already unbelievably strong, would be upgraded to that of a human-shaped main battle tank.
They could also leave their masters' bodies and turn into totem beasts that could move independently, just like the drones and thinking tanks that followed the powerful fighters of Dragon City.
The scientific reasoning behind this was clearly not something that could be explained by spirit energy stimulating vitality magnetic fields, and it resonating with the planet's magnetic field.
'No matter how much I stimulate vitality magnetic fields, it's impossible for me to create so much biological liquid metal out of nothing.
'So, where did the totem armor on the Turanze warriors come from?'
Meng Chao stared at the deep-fried Mandala Fruit in his hand, which he had almost finished, and sank into deep thought.
Even though he was thinking, his mouth was not idle. Soon, he ground the fruit into the finest juice with his molars. It flowed down his throat and seeped into his organs and limbs. It was turned into the purest energy that repaired his damaged and withered cells.
In the end, even the core of the Mandala Fruit, which was as sturdy as steel, was crushed and swallowed.
Meng Chao sensed a lot of metal in the core of the Mandala Fruit.
To be more precise, the entire Devil's Snare Fruit, including the sweet and soft flesh and the refreshing and chewy skin, contained rich metal elements.
The amount of metal contained in a Mandala Fruit was ten times higher than the high-calorie nutritional fluid and gene medicine in Dragon City.
Every time they ate a fruit, it was as if they were swallowing a small nail.
Earthlings who had not cultivated before would naturally not be able to handle such a high amount of metal. After just a few fruits, they would be slowly poisoned and their nervous systems would be damaged.
But when the Turanze people were in a prosperous era, they had enough food. Even three-year-old children ate a few Mandala Fruits every day.
Their digestive system naturally had a way to break down metal and replenish their bones and flesh.
It made their flesh and blood swell madly, and their bones became as sturdy as steel. They did not need to cultivate, and even the old, weak, women, and children had fighting strength above average.
Their nervous systems also had great resistance. They could balance the side effects of taking in too many heavy metals, so they did not become stupid.
Alright, a certain degree of stupidity did exist.
Perhaps it was due to heavy metal poisoning that it permanently affected their nervous systems and cerebral cortex, which was why the Turanze civilization was still a barbaric and ignorant clan even though it had developed for more than ten thousand years.
They did not manage to light up the sparks of industry and technology like Earthlings.
"Don't tell me that he stored a large amount of metal elements in his body by wolfing down the Mandala Fruits, and when he was in battle, he activated it with the Totem Power and turned it into a Biological Liquid Metal Armor?"
Meng Chao had heard from Leaf that only the lowly rat people ate normal Mandala Fruits as their source of food.
While the warriors ate a lot of normal Mandala Fruits, they could also enjoy the sweet Golden Fruits and the flesh of totem beasts.
Each Mandala Tree would only bear one Golden Fruit each time it bore fruit.
The Golden Fruit was slightly bigger than normal Mandala Fruits, but it was ten times heavier.
It was reasonable to assume that the metal contained in the Golden Fruit was also ten times more than normal Mandala Fruits.
Totem beasts sounded similar to monsters.
But they had metal scales, shells, fangs, and claws.
Their bodies were naturally filled with a lot of metal.
'So, the Turanze people ate a lot of Golden Fruits and totem beasts to store … a full set of metal armor in their bodies?'
