"Black Bone! Black Bone! Come out, we should search for the single-horned shadow dragon! "Suddenly, the yellow werewolf's shout came from outside.
Just as Lu Sheng was about to strengthen himself, he was interrupted. He could only stand up helplessly.
'Looks like I'll have to deal with this first. I can take this opportunity to see what this world is like.'
"What's wrong, Gold?"
This yellow werewolf's name was Gold. It was said that he knew that humans and many other tribes liked gold. Hence, he felt that it was a good name and hoped that all females would like him. Hence, he changed his name to Gold.
Gold rushed in, making a ruckus.
"White Ash wants us to gather right away. Stop dawdling. You've seen it for yourself. That poison dragon emissary wants us to look for some shadow dragon." He was brash as if he did not know what fear was. He pulled Lu Sheng along as they ran.
This fellow did not feel it earlier. Now that he was dragged, Lu Sheng immediately felt that Gold's strength was much greater than his own.
He dragged the two werewolves out of the earthen hut. They quickly passed through the small village and arrived before the largest earthen hut.
This earthen hut was different from the others. There were black dried brambles around it that were more symbolic than defensive. These dried brambles formed a circle around the earthen hut, giving it a ceremonial feel.
The door to the hut was wide open. The old werewolf from before, White Ash, was sitting by the door.
"Did you hear what the messenger said?"
"Yes, witch doctor …"
"He's sending us to our deaths!"
"I, Steel Ridge, can't accept this. We shouldn't be doing this!"
"Are they crazy? Each of the single-horned shadow dragons is terrifyingly powerful. We can't fight them! "
The werewolves roared in anger. However, the meaning of their roars was simple. Clearly, most of them were simple-minded people with brawn.
The witch doctor, White Ash, narrowed his eyes. There was a hint of helplessness and sorrow in them. He was already 76 years old. For a black wolf, this was an unimaginably old age. He had witnessed the rise and fall of many tribes.
The current Mangrove Forest Tribe was once a large tribe with more than 1,000 werewolves. But now …
He looked at the dozen or so werewolves before him. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "This time, all of us must set off. Otherwise, if our adult wolves leave and only the old and weak are left in the village, we will definitely be attacked by other beasts."
Everyone understood what he meant. In the past, all of them would move out once in a while. It was the habit of the werewolves not to live in a fixed spot, but to wander around and hunt.
If it weren't for the fact that their living space was so restricted that they could only stay in this abandoned village, they would have probably left this dangerous place a long time ago.
"Before we leave, those who are injured, come to me." After saying this, White Ash turned around and entered the earthen hut. The door was left open, but no more sounds came from inside.
"I'll do it!" Immediately, a muscular yellow-furred werewolf strode toward the mud hut with his head held high and chest puffed out.
His name was Steel Shield, the werewolf who had clashed with Lu Sheng's Black Bones.
Steel Shield walked over in a couple of steps and waved his hand. His right arm was injured, and a layer of skin had been peeled off. The bloody wound looked serious, but it was nothing more than a small injury for a werewolf.
Lu Sheng stood at the outermost edge of the werewolves. When he saw Steel Shield coming out, an inexplicable rage rose in his heart.
'Is this the remaining rage in his body? Don't worry, I'll take care of it soon. '
As he thought about it, he waited for the werewolves to enter the mud hut one after another. Then, he squeezed into the mud hut as well.
The hut was slightly dark, and there was a faint moldy smell from dried herbs.
The old werewolf, White Ash, had his back hunched. He was rummaging through a broken cabinet, looking for something.
When he saw Lu Sheng enter, he glanced at the wound on his head. Through his black mane, he could see the palm-sized wound. Although it was no longer bleeding, and it was showing signs of healing, the size of the wound did not change for the time being.
"How ruthless. Black Bones, don't come into conflict with Steel Shield in the future. He's much stronger than you," the old shaman mumbled. "Such a big wound. I'm afraid I won't have enough herbs to heal it …"
"It won't happen again," Lu Sheng replied softly. His voice was a little deep. In the pitch-black mud hut, his voice appeared exceptionally solemn.
White Ash was momentarily stunned, but he did not hesitate. With practiced movements, he poured out a clump of sticky, yellow feces from a broken stone bowl. Then, he used his claws to press it on Lu Sheng's head.
Lu Sheng resisted the urge to dodge. He allowed White Ash to apply the stuff to the wound on his head.
A pungent stench wafted into his nostrils.
However, at the same time, a faint cooling sensation spread from the wound to his limbs. It gave him an extremely comfortable feeling.
Lu Sheng had planned to come and see what the shaman was capable of. He wanted to know more about this world's medical system. He wanted to use this to adjust the direction of his development in the future.
Now, it seemed like his trip was not in vain. No herbs applied externally would be able to take effect so quickly. Clearly, there was something fishy about this.
When he opened his eyes, Lu Sheng could vaguely see a grayish-white light shining on White Ash's palm. He could not see it clearly through his hair.
"White Ash, what's glowing on your palm?"
"You can see it?" White Ash was stunned. A hint of astonishment and disbelief flashed across his old eyes.
"Mm-hm … It's a white light. It's flashing," Lu Sheng answered honestly.
White Ash's smearing motion froze.
After a long while, he heaved a long sigh.
"This is Frost Power, the symbol of our tribe. It's the glory of a long, long time ago." He lowered his hand and spread open his right palm. A mark that resembled a crescent moon shone on his flesh.
The mark was grayish-white in color, and emanated a faint chill. There was also a faint white mist spreading around it.
"In the past, one in a hundred tribesmen in the tribe would awaken Frost Power. However, it's no longer the case. It's been too long since a tribesman has awakened it." The old shaman shook his head slightly. "However, so what if it's awakened? Even if they become frost wolves, they're no match for the Poison Dragon Pool. "
He combed the fur on Lu Sheng's head.
"Alright. Go and get ready, Black Bone."
"May I ask how to awaken Frost Power?" Lu Sheng stood up and asked one last question.
His trip here was not in vain. In the past, Black Bone was too weak. Hence, he could not discover the old shaman's uniqueness.
However, he was different.
White Ash frowned.
"Only when you're faced with a choice between life and death, and your potential is completely unleashed, will you be able to awaken it."
That was as good as not saying anything.
Lu Sheng watched as White Ash extinguished the white light on his palm. He stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Black Bone." White Ash thought for a moment, and decided to tell him the reason. "If you really want to awaken it, then train your will in a life and death battle. When your body is at its limit, this is for you."
He tossed a rag to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng caught it and glanced at it. There were strange, crooked lines on it. At the center of the densely packed lines was a strange symbol that looked like a deer's hoof print.
When Lu Sheng looked at it, he vaguely felt that the symbol was overlapping. It was as if it had been carved in the same spot countless times.
"Take this and try to comprehend it. If you can imagine it, it means that you've mastered Frost Power. If you can't, this thing will disappear on its own in three days, "White Ash said calmly. "By the way, this is a little thing that I made on the spur of the moment. Don't think about using it to trade for food with other tribes."
Lu Sheng held the rag and touched the symbol on it gently. He immediately felt a chill creeping up from the end of his hand.
The chill was not very strong. It was similar to touching a small piece of ice.
He held the rag and turned to leave.
"Actually, I've tried it out when you were very young …" White Ash's voice reached him from behind.
Lu Sheng paused.
'Looks like this world isn't as boring as I thought.' After learning about this world from Black Bone's memories, he had thought that it was just an ordinary world that slightly surpassed the mortal realm.
However, it seemed like the Wild Wolf Tribe actually had such a strange item. It seemed like this place was not as simple as he had thought.
After exiting the earthen hut, he immediately saw the yellow-furred werewolf, Gold, who was waiting nearby. However, there was a tall and muscular yellow-furred werewolf standing beside Gold. It was none other than Steel Shield who had injured him earlier.
"I need food!" Steel Shield seemed to be extorting Gold as well.
"I don't have any more. I've given them all to you." Gold hung his head helplessly.
"Not enough." Steel Shield glanced at Lu Sheng.
"Hiss!"
He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips as if he was trying to intimidate Lu Sheng.
"And you! I'll come again next time. If you still don't have any, don't even think about living a good life! "
After saying this, he turned and left.
Lu Sheng watched him quickly disappear beside the village's earthen walls. He seemed to be preparing to go out and search. He could not disobey the witch doctor's words. Otherwise, he would lose his right to treat and stay here.
In such a dangerous forest, without a place to stay and the ability to treat, the only outcome would be for him to rot in some unknown corner and grow maggots.
"Let's go too." Lu Sheng patted Gold's shoulder. Naturally, he would not be angered by such a retarded threat. The most important thing now was to try out the so-called mystery of this rag.
As for the process, he would try it out as he went.
"My flesh … I'll kill it sooner or later!" Gold vented his frustration.
"Yes, yes." Lu Sheng nodded noncommittally. He pinched the rag and carefully felt the chill on it.
The more he felt, the more familiar he found it.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across his heart. Wasn't this a similar pattern on his Mystic Water Divine Sigil?
"So that's how it is …" Lu Sheng was getting more and more interested.
He traveled with Gold. Unlike the other werewolves, they did not have any relatives to take care of. After discussing the route, the two of them left the village and sped toward the northwest.
The Poison Dragon Tribe said that they were looking for a single-horned shadow dragon. However, it was not easy to find a shadow dragon. Moreover, with the werewolves' abilities, even if they managed to find one, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths.
Hence, it was only natural that they did not put in any effort.
The two of them walked in the forest. They stepped on the soft ground made of fallen leaves. They were purely patrolling.
"Is it really okay for us to travel so slowly?" Gold kept asking along the way.
"It's alright, it's alright," Lu Sheng kept repeating his answers. "Just listen to me. Don't worry about anything else."
"Oh …"
Lu Sheng wandered around as if he was taking a stroll. At the same time, he carefully analyzed the Cold Qi symbol on the rag with his spirit.
'If I use the Ancient Divine Script to analyze its structure, then everything makes sense. This symbol … is in the Ancient Divine Script. It means' cold '.' Lu Sheng quickly understood the meaning behind it.
'Interesting. I automatically obtained the Mystic Water Divine Sigil when I advanced to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm. Now, I obtained the Cold Divine Sigil right from the start here. This Divine Sigil seems easy to obtain, yet difficult at the same time. '
In the dark and damp forest, Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He swung his claws and slashed a tree snake that was pouncing toward him.
Then, under Gold's shocked gaze, he passed the snake to him and made a gesture of eating it.
Gold happily received the snake meat and began to gorge on it. Aside from the venomous fangs and sacs, the snake meat was still delicious.
