Chapter 132

The air in the car suddenly became very quiet.

Mu Ling frowned and felt her arm itchy even more.

She came out of Xiang Bie's arms, lifted up her sleeves, and saw that the skin under her sleeves had turned red.

Xiang Bie's face also turned very bad. He lifted her hand, but when he touched it, he found that the skin was incredibly hot.

At this moment, a tear fell down, Xiang Bie was stunned. He raised his head and saw that the girl who was always cheerful now had red eyes and nose.

She sniffed, but couldn't help but shed a second tear.

Xiang Bie felt very upset.

He raised his hand, wiped the tears from her face, stroked the corners of her eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, we'll go back now."

As he said this, he closed the car door and was about to start the car when someone pinched his arm tightly. The girl next to him said nervously, "It's too late..."

Xiang Bie turned around and saw that the red skin on Mu Ling's arm suddenly cracked and then a large number of blood beads gushed out. No, those were not blood beads, they were pieces of... red scales...

Scales grew from her flesh...

-

At the same time, in the southwest of the jungle, the purple electric baboon that was chasing a strange bull suddenly stopped.

The huge alien bull had already run into the deeper jungle, but the purple electric baboon stood on a tree branch, hesitating. The next second, it climbed to the top of a higher tree, then stood there, looking into the distance.

The purple electric baboon tilted its head and sniffed hard at the special smell brought by the wind. This familiar yet unfamiliar smell made it subconsciously want to get closer.

The sense of smell of war beasts is divided into innate sense of smell and ordinary sense of smell. When smelling exotic beasts, they will instinctively use their innate sense of smell. The innate sense of smell of S-level war beasts can smell the scent of exotic beasts as far as one hundred kilometers away.

But their normal sense of smell does not extend that far. It can only smell odors within a radius of three kilometers.

Even with the help of the wind, the clever purple electric baboon knew that the smell was now very far away from it.

So this is the smell that is smelled by the gifted sense of smell.

But this was not the smell of an exotic beast; it was another strange smell that it had never smelled before and that it longed for.

Scratching its butt anxiously, the purple electric baboon made a "squeaking" sound on the branch.

After jumping left and right on the tree branch for a while, the purple electric baboon finally gritted its teeth and decided to chase the strange bull first.

No matter how many temptations there are, you have to go to work first!

The dedicated purple electric baboon, with inexplicable anger, ran towards the strange bull, swinging on the branch with bared teeth.

-

At the same time, on the other side, a female black-clawed badger that had just finished a fight also smelled the scent.

Unlike the purple electric baboon, it did not have to choose between two options. It simply stared at the direction where the smell came from, spat out the strange snake in its mouth, and ran towards that direction.

At the same time, many war beasts in the entire primitive jungle were affected.

Including the war beasts of the Beast Taming Army.

"Caramel, where are you going?"

"Mushroom, what are you doing!"

"Liu Erpang, why did you hit me? Damn, no, ahhhh, help! Liu Erpang, where are you dragging me to!"

-

Mu Ling didn't know about the changes in the jungle.

The atmosphere in the carriage was still depressed.

The pink scales look very smooth on the surface, but if you touch them carefully, you can find that the scales are actually serrated, and each scale has a sharp hook at the end.

Xiang Bie's throat was a little dry, and the scene before him made him feel unreal.

Unlike her own pupils, which could change color, Mu Ling's... were actually new organs...

New, non-human organs have grown on humans...

Silence permeated the air.

A minute later, the girl's aggrieved voice rang out: "Brother Xiang, are you scared?"

When Xiang Bie came to his senses, he saw the girl looking at him cautiously, with many traces of tears on her face.

He shook his head and said, "I just didn't expect scales to grow. Does it still hurt?"

Mu Ling nodded heavily: "It hurts so much. The scales grow out of the flesh. The flesh must be broken first before the scales can come out. It really hurts, it hurts like my skin is torn apart..."

Xiang Bie touched her hair, comforted her gently, and held her hand again.

My fingertips touched a scale and felt the prick of a needle.

Mu Ling sniffed: "Be careful, I am a rose with thorns now."

Category: "..."

Xiang Bie looked at her: "Are you still joking?"

Mu Ling shook her head, looking very depressed: "Grandpa said so when I was a child..."

Mu Ling has always worn long sleeves and long pants since she was old enough to understand.

She didn't realize at first that it was because she had scales.

When she was a child, she thought that all children had scales.

Later, she saw her neighbor's sister wearing a beautiful short-sleeved dress, and her arms were smooth and scaleless. Only then did she realize that other people's arms did not have long scales, only she had long scales.

Her defenses were broken at once, and she was extremely sad. She cried stubbornly and pulled out the scales, wanting to pull them all off.

Later, when the needle started to bleed, she cried even harder and almost blew the roof off.

Grandpa was shocked when he came back from buying groceries. Seeing that she knew the truth, he could only hold her and try to find a way to beautify the scales for her.

"Lingling, do you still remember the story of the Little Mermaid? The Little Mermaid had scales. Lingling, do you want to be a Little Mermaid?"

"Wuwuwu... I don't want to... The Little Mermaid turned into foam in the end... Lingling is not stupid... Lingling doesn't want to turn into foam... Wuwuwu..."

"What about the little hedgehog? When we were watching cartoons before, didn't Lingling like the hedgehog Beibei? Beibei's quills can also prick people, just like Lingling's scales. Now Lingling is the same as Beibei, and you two can become the best of friends."

"Wuwuwu...Grandpa, please wake up...Beibei is just a character in a cartoon...He can't get out...Wuwuwu..."

“…”

Finally, the straight grandfather racked his brains and finally thought of roses.

"Beauty is often accompanied by hardship, just like a rose and its thorns. Lingling's scales are like rose thorns. They are just small embellishments in your magnificent and brilliant life. Our Lingling is so good and well-behaved. Aside from being a bit of a nitpicker, she has no flaws at all. It's just a few scales, which won't affect her growth into an independent and strong soul at all..."

Mu Ling remembered that she was not moved by her grandfather's bowl of poisonous chicken soup at that time, because she didn't quite understand it, but she liked her grandfather's embrace that day.

Very warm.

Eventually, Mu Ling reconciled with herself and decided to be a cool scaly girl.

But three days later, her grandfather brought back some medicine for her, and slowly, Mu Ling's scales faded away. By the time she went to elementary school, she could go a long time without having scales, and she could also wear short sleeves and skirts.

She seemed to have become a normal person, but not always normal...

When she was a little older, Mu Ling would read more medical books in her spare time. Seeing that she was interested in medicine, her grandfather would often buy her some old books. The old medical books her grandfather bought were very profound, but after reading them many times, Mu Ling could still understand them.

After that, she studied medicine smoothly and graduated successfully.

For a while, Mu Ling thought she was completely normal.

Until her grandfather passed away suddenly, under the great grief, the medicine seemed to fail to work, and that day, she grew dense scales again.

Just like when I was a child, my hands and feet have grown, and even my neck and face have grown.

But that time, no one racked their brains and tried their best to coax her.

-

"Mu Ling."

The deep male voice brought Mu Ling back to her senses.

Mu Ling looked up.

But I found that my vision became blurred.

She reached out to touch her eyes, but Brother Xiang was already holding her face and gently wiping her tears.

Mu Ling bit her lower lip and muttered, "I'm crying because it hurts."

The man looked at her aggrieved little appearance, resisted the urge to hug her, and only ruffled her hair and asked, "Have you been like this since you were a child?"

Mu Ling nodded: "I am sick... I was born with this disease..."

Xiang Bie pursed his lips: "So you said that I am like you, you are born with it, and I am acquired."

"Yeah." Mu Ling raised her head slightly: "I'm a little bit better than you."

Category: "..."

Xiang Bie chuckled, and with his index finger bent, he scratched the tip of her upturned nose and said, "Then you are amazing."

Mu Ling reached out and scratched the tip of her nose.

Xiang Bie held her right wrist again and asked, "Is there anything here?"

Mu Ling shook her head and pulled up her right sleeve. It was fine inside. She said, "Only the left side has it."

“Will it extend further?”

Mu Ling was unsure: "Probably not. I'm a little more stable now."

Xiang Bie nodded and asked again: "Do we still need to go back? Will it fade away after taking medicine?"

Mu Ling picked at her scales. She didn't feel any prickles when she touched them. After all, they were part of her body, and she could control herself so that the sharp thorns wouldn't hurt her.

After scratching for a long time, Mu Ling pulled down her sleeve and said, "I'm not going back. Let's keep going. It will fade away slowly. As long as I'm calm, I can control it. I've been learning this since I was a child."

Xiang Bie observed her expression and said, "But if it doesn't fade, won't it always hurt?"

Mu Ling said: "It's okay, the scales have grown back. The growth process was painful, but it doesn't hurt when it grows back or when it falls off."

Xiang Bie felt relieved. He was about to start the car, but at this moment...

Suddenly, a shrill eagle cry came from far away. Xiang Bie looked out the window, and Mu Ling also looked over. They saw a huge falcon galloping towards them in the front illuminated by the headlights of the car.

"Is it Stepping Cloud?"

Mu Ling was a little surprised. She wiped her eyes with her sleeves and sniffed. She didn't even care about crying anymore and said in surprise: "Brother Xiang, look, Tayun came to our door on his own!"

Mu Ling immediately opened the car door and shouted to the sky: "Tread on the clouds!"

Mu Ling originally thought that she couldn't move it with just her shouting, but the falcon flew down directly, landed accurately on Mu Ling's right arm, and rubbed Mu Ling's forehead affectionately with its beak.

Mu Ling softly stuck to Du Ying, then quickly grabbed Du Ying's wings with her iron left hand, and quickly and accurately caught it into the car like catching a chicken, closed the door, and conducted security check on the spot!

Mu Ling touched Ta Yun's whole body, and during the inspection, Du Ying was surprisingly cooperative, which was completely different from Mu Ling's previous painstaking inspections of other war beasts. Ta Yun even rubbed Mu Ling's chin with his cold little head.

Mu Ling found it unbelievable, but then she thought that Ta Yun was a love-brained person, so it seemed normal?

It had rained before, and Tayun's body was still wet. Mu Ling wiped the water off it with a tissue. Just as she was about to feel sorry for it for a while, suddenly, the window glass made a sound.

Mu Ling turned her head and instantly saw a stubborn little black face with a flat head.

Mu Ling was horrified and quickly lowered the car window: "Arrogant!"

Kuang Wang climbed in through the window, then sat on Mu Ling's knees and sniffed Mu Ling's scent.

Mu Ling stroked Kuang Wang's hair and softened her voice: "Kuang Wang, you actually fell into the trap too."

Having said that, Mu Ling didn't waste any time. He abandoned Tayun on the spot and stretched out his claws towards Kuangwang.

When Kuangwang was halfway through his examination, he heard the sound of animals in the distance.

Mu Ling was very excited: "Let me see who is turning himself in this time!"

Two minutes later, Mu Ling looked at the fat black antelope in front of him in confusion. He scratched his head and said, "Who are you? You are not from our family."

“Oh.”

Behind the black antelope, another jackal, also wearing armor, suddenly jumped out, opened its mouth, and wagged its tail wildly at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling: “…”

"No, I don't know you." Mu Ling turned her head and looked at Brother Xiang a little confused.

Xiang Bie's icy blue eyes swept over the falcon, the black-clawed badger, the black antelope, and the jackal one by one. After a while, he looked at Mu Ling's left arm and said, "Just now, I also thought that after my transformation, my vision will be significantly enhanced. What about you? This scale should also bring you something special, right?"

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment. She was silent for a while, then asked, "So, this is my specialness?"

She pointed at the four war beasts in front of her and said, "Becoming the Daji of the Beast Circle?"
