Chapter 214: The Silver-White Python - The Might of the Fourth Rank
```
"Who dares to approach the tribe's forbidden territory? Stay away!"
Near the Bone-Cold Pool in the forbidden territory of the Iron Wind Tribe, two voices called out loudly.
Immediately following, two wolf barbarians of the Third Rank Level released their internal pressure without any hesitation, directed towards a corner outside the Bone-Cold Pool.
Onboard the Cang Qiong, Song Chi was also slightly startled.
Perhaps because of the overlapping, the radar screen only showed a large, floating, and fluctuating cluster, sometimes at the Third Rank Peak, and sometimes just at the initial stage of Third Rank. Who could have imagined that there were also two Third Rank Level wolf barbarians guarding it?
However, beyond his surprise, his curiosity grew even stronger. It seemed that there must be some significant secrets within the Bone-Cold Pool for it to be guarded by two Third Rank wolf barbarians.
Hundreds of meters from the Bone-Cold Pool, upon being discovered by the two Third Rank wolf barbarian guards, the Third Rank wolf barbarian enslaved by Song Chi had no choice but to make itself known.
But before it could speak, the other two Third Rank wolf barbarians quickly identified its identity.
"Hei Xie, weren't you with the team exploring the Outer Domain? How come you..."
Before they could finish speaking, Hei Xie, already enslaved by Song Chi, quickly began to retreat. Song Chi was clear that being exposed was only a matter of time; it was better to take the chance to flee.
Gathering Ghost Light on its body surface, the Totem Patterns engraved in its skin rapidly extended. In just an instant, Hei Xie's entire body was nearly covered by these mysterious totemic lines.
And it was at this moment that Hei Xie, who was originally at an ordinary Third Rank Level, suddenly saw its aura surge to the Third Rank Peak.
Inside the Cang Qiong, a trace of surprise and doubt appeared in Song Chi's eyes as he gained a new understanding of the enhancement provided by the Totem Power.

Previously, Hei Xie had spoken highly of the Totem Worship within the Supernatural System, but now it seemed Song Chi had underestimated it.
According to Hei Xie, they had an ability called 'Totem True Body', similar to other supernatural power systems like berserking, raging, Dharma As Vast As Heaven, and Buddha's Golden Body, which could greatly increase their size and combat power.
At this moment, however, Hei Xie had not yet employed this ability.
Even so, just with the Totem Patterns on its body, it had gone from an ordinary Third Rank to having the combat power of a Third Rank Peak. What if the Totem True Body was added to that?
Could it be that all the Third Rank wolf barbarians on the Blood Barbarian Continent could summon a Half-Step Fourth Rank temporary combat power when they went all out?
Thinking this, Song Chi's breath caught slightly.
If so, the potential of the Totem Worship path might truly be beyond imagination.
However, after a brief speculation, he dismissed the conclusion.
It was probably because the Iron Wind Tribe, or Hei Xie and all the Third Rank wolf barbarians within it, were able to achieve such an enhancement with just the Totem Patterns, likely due to the tribe's legacy of over five thousand years.
During such a long period, the Spirit of the Totem worshipped by the Iron Wind Tribe must have evolved to a very high level, hence the effect.
As for other wolf barbarian tribes having a similar level of enhancement, Song Chi was entirely skeptical.
While he was contemplating, Hei Xie's escape continued. With the activation of the Totem Patterns on its body, all aspects were amplified, and its speed surged.
Seeing its panic, the two Forbidden Land Guardians immediately sensed something amiss, activated their Totem Patterns on their bodies, and chased after Hei Xie one after another.
Under Song Chi's deliberate guidance, the path Hei Xie took in its flight did not lead towards the Cang Qiong's location. Seeing the two Third Rank wolf barbarian guards were led away, the Fixed-Point Launch Pad on the Cang Qiong, now cooled down, was reactivated.
Just as the name suggested, the Bone-Cold Pool in the forbidden land of the Iron Wind Tribe was a kilometer-wide icy pool in the tribe's rear mountains.
At that moment, several subtle spatial fluctuations emanated from the edge of the pool. Four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines were deployed, and they immediately entered the void with their Rift-Space Ability.
The wolf barbarians who had just come to take over the guarding duties completely failed to notice this slight disturbance.
Unlike the inner parts of the Tri-Eye Race warship in that ancient Stellar Battlefield, the void around the Bone-Cold Pool had no special constraints. The four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines could confidently infiltrate the Bone-Cold Pool from the hidden side of the void.
There was no need to worry about triggering fluctuations on the surface of the pool and alerting the Third Rank wolf barbarians behind.
"With such a temperature, it must be far below zero degrees, yet the water in the pool has not frozen; it remains liquid. This is quite strange!"
Through the Brainwave Beacon's sensing, Song Chi could clearly feel the continuous sizzling sounds from the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines immersed in the Bone-Cold Pool, which was the result of the bone-chilling cold eroding their puppet bodies.
Fortunately, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, being of Third Rank Level in body strength and without sensation, barely felt the extreme cold of the pool water and were not significantly affected.
Thus, the four figurines continued to descend into the depths of the cold pool.
After the two Third Rank wolf barbarian guardians left, the readings on the radar screen remained unchanged; the energy fluctuations emitted by the Bone-Cold Pool were still inconsistent. Therefore, Song Chi was determined to explore the bottom of the pool himself.
Sizzling!
As the descent continued, the icy chill eroding the bodies of the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines became even more intense, and even their movements began to slow down.
