Half an hour later, the once quiet Misty Valley welcomed a visitor as a carriage came to a stop at the entrance.
When the Black-armored Knights jumped down and respectfully lifted the curtain, a Green-Dressed Woman stepped out of the carriage, her skirt billowing as she revealed her fair, shapely legs.
As she descended from the carriage, her expression changed abruptly. Frowning deeply, she said, "Another Spirit Master has come!"
The two hurried into the village, finding that the guards at the entrance were absent. A strong smell of blood permeated the air within the village.
The courtyard walls had been smashed in, and gray wolves were feasting on corpses. Several girls lay torn apart, their blood staining the ground.
"What happened here!" The Black-armored Knights roared in anger, drawing their swords and rushing forward. With one swift strike, he decapitated a wolf, its blood spraying everywhere.
The other wolves were immediately frightened into whimpering and scattered in all directions, not daring to fight back.
The Black-armored Man searched through the village for any possible survivors, calling out loudly but finding not a single living soul.
Finally, he heard a faint sound like that of a mosquito and rushed toward it.
In a corner where a wall had collapsed, a Middle-Aged Woman was pinned beneath a large rock, her chest caved in significantly. Her face was devoid of color, and it seemed she would not survive much longer.
"My lord, it was... it was a Spirit Master who ambushed us and killed the guards..."
She coughed up blood continuously, her nose, eyes, and mouth all bleeding. The Black-armored Man crouched down and demanded sternly, "Who was that person? What did they look like? What Totem Beast did they have?"
"Red hair... a huge monster..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her head tilted to the side as she breathed her last.
“Lord Yolanda, do you know who she is?” the Black-armored Knights asked respectfully.
“Red long hair, a massive totem, and a power level reaching Secondary—there's only one person who fits that description, the one who came from Tiris. I never expected that after arriving in Farn County, she still wouldn't let me go!”
The Green-Dressed Woman, Yolanda, had a frosty expression on her beautiful face, revealing a deep-seated hatred that made the nearby Black-armored Knights feel a sudden chill, causing them to shiver involuntarily and lower their heads in fear.
“Very well, since she has come, let's give her a surprise and show her the results of my efforts.”
“Vaxinger, our organizational goals are about to be realized. Soon the entire world will be within our grasp, and you will possess power far beyond that of ordinary beings!”
“My lord, the one true God will surely descend. His glory will shine across the entire world, and everyone will offer their faith to Him!” The Black-armored Knights knelt on one knee, responding with fervent enthusiasm.
Yolanda looked up at the sky as if trying to see something, but there was nothing there.
Thoughts raced through her mind: “Soon, the net will envelop the entire world; no one will be able to escape this surveillance.”
“When that time comes, it will be the true beginning for me…”
……………………
Dozens of kilometers away.
Xiar sat on a patch of grass while Firefly crouched in front of him, blinking its eyes at him. Two massive creatures lay quietly beside them.
A translucent interface appeared in his line of sight. This revenge operation had caused his Evolution Points to surge more than tenfold.
“Forty-five—this many Evolution Points are enough for four upgrades,” Xiar murmured as he gazed at Firefly's three-dimensional image on the interface.
Swish!
The Evolution Points plummeted rapidly, four Evolution Points consumed in the blink of an eye.
Previously, each enhancement required five points, but after he provided a Purple Gemstone, the consumption of Evolution Points decreased by 0%, which was still a decent improvement.
"Meow!"
The white fox let out a cry, and a layer of white light enveloped it, as if its entire body was glowing.
Moments later, the light faded, and there was no change in its appearance.
"Uh, failed again!" Xiar observed the white fox's attribute introduction and noted that there had been no significant changes; even the Evolution success rate hadn't improved, and he only received back 1 point.
"Damn it, is it really that hard to enhance the Mutated Totem?"
He rubbed his temples and stared intently at the Interface, resolutely pressing the “+” symbol again. "I really don't believe this. Seven chances in total with a 5% success rate—there's no way I can't succeed!"
Buzz!
The white light appeared again, then dissipated.
Buzz!
The white light appeared again, then dissipated.
Buzz!
This time, the commotion was a bit louder. The White Fox suddenly stood on its hind legs, but after letting out a sound, it crouched back down.
No need, another failure.
...
By the seventh attempt, Firefly suddenly became restless, continuously shifting its rear. Xiar's eyes widened as he focused intently on it.
Firefly's Evolution form was the Three-Tailed White Fox, while its Ultimate Form was the Six-Tailed Sun and Moon Fox. Only through Super Evolution could it become the Nine-Tails Fox.
Was it about to grow a second and third Tail?
Under his watchful gaze, the White Fox let out a "Meow" and jumped away into the nearby Bush—off it went.
It turned out that its restlessness was simply due to needing to relieve itself, and feeling shy about doing so in front of him...
"Damn it, this terrible luck is really getting to me!"
Xiar weakly slapped his forehead and lay back on the grass, staring blankly at the deep blue sky.
This scene reminded him of his previous life during a ten consecutive draws event. He had spent over a thousand dollars on a Divine Pets juvenile ten-draw, only to end up with several common Totem Beasts, nearly smashing his phone in frustration.
"It seems I'm destined to have nothing to do with luck in this life!" He felt a deep sense of despair; after consuming one Evolution Point and attempting seven times, not once had he succeeded.
"Variant Moonlight Fox: Main Totem, not yet evolved, can be enhanced, Evolution success rate 4%, consumes 4 Evolution Points;
Abilities: Fox Spirit, Rapid Speed."
The success rate was getting closer to half, and there was only one chance left, but Xiar no longer had the desire to try again.
With so many Evolution Points, he had enough to cultivate three or four Evolved Tier Totem Beasts.
In fact, he should have stopped after the first failure and waited until he found a gem to raise the success rate to 80% for a guaranteed success, instead of wasting them like this.
"Damn it, why can't I control this hand!"
He slammed his fist into the ground, unable to suppress his regret. If it weren't for wasting so many Evolution Points...
"Meow!"
The white fox ran over, sensing his intense emotional turmoil, and gently licked his cheek as if trying to comfort him.
"I'm fine." Xiar picked it up and held it in his arms as he stood up and left the place. "Main Totem Evolution failed; it's going to be difficult to complete Evolution in a short time. It seems I need to change my approach."
Destroying this branch was just the beginning; next, he would truly engage in the plot, stealing various resources and research results from that organization to sustain his battles.
If they wouldn't let him have peace, then he wouldn't let them live!
