Chapter 145, the world of orcs, ends~ The stairs of the History Tower...
The stairs in the Historic Tower are exceptionally difficult to climb, perhaps due to numerous renovations; they are both narrow and steep.
Looking at the dusty, dilapidated wooden staircase, the Crown Princess took two steps back: "You can walk the rest of the way yourself."
Sang Zhitao transformed into her beast form, and a small yellow chick the size of a palm fell into a pile of clothes.
"I'll leave my clothes here, don't take them away. I'll transform back into human form so I can put them on when I come down," Sang Zhitao said, panting heavily as she struggled to pull herself out of the pile of clothes.
The Crown Princess, her head tilted in bewilderment, asked, "Huh?"
Sang Zhitao lowered her head and preened her feathers with her beak, replying nonchalantly, "Otherwise, I can't exactly run around naked in the street, can I?"
The Crown Princess's face showed a forced smile: "Who told you that?"
“My former teacher? I’ve forgotten.” Sang Zhitao straightened her feathers and shook them.
The Crown Princess clicked her tongue and transformed into her beast form right in front of her.
When a giant orange cat suddenly appeared in front of her, Sang Zhitao was so startled that she spread her wings and flew backward a few times before looking at the giant orange cat in front of her, which was as big as a cat car, with some surprise.
Seeing that she was looking at her, the Crown Princess suddenly transformed back into human form: "You see, when I transform into beast form, my clothes don't fall off, and when I transform back into human form, I'm not naked."
As she spoke, she frowned and said, "Who was your previous teacher? He was a terrible teacher who misled students."
Before Sang Zhitao could speak, the Crown Princess suddenly lifted her up from the ground and looked her up and down: "Wait a minute, I've never seen your beast form before."
“A chicken-shaped beastman, the only one in the beastman kingdom.” Sang Zhitao casually raised her wings and flapped them.
Looking at the fluffy little yellow ball, the Crown Princess suddenly had an urge to take a bite, which startled her so much that she quickly put Sang Zhitao on the ground.
“I’ve heard that before, but didn’t the bird clan say you were already dead?” The Crown Princess frowned even more deeply.
"I don't know. The bird clan mistook me for the legendary phoenix. When I grew up, they found out I was just a chicken, so they kicked me out," Sang Zhitao said nonchalantly.
Anger flashed in the Crown Princess's eyes: "Nonsense! The appearance of new types of orcs must be reported. They concealed it all year, and only after the royal family found out did they say they were dead, and only then did they investigate. How dare they!"
Sang Zhitao was puzzled. In the later part of the original book, everyone knew that the protagonist was a chicken-shaped beastman, which even caused a public opinion crisis. However, according to the Crown Princess, the protagonist's beast form had been kept secret from the bird tribe, and he should not have suffered those ridicules.
The Crown Princess pursed her lips, her face hardening with frost: "The Bird Clan..."
After uttering those two words, she said nothing more, only saying to Sang Zhitao, "Let's not worry about these things for now. Go up and deal with the pollution first, and we'll talk in detail later."
Without further delay, Sang Zhitao jumped up the stairs and hopped upwards until she disappeared from the Crown Princess's sight.
As the sound of her footsteps faded into the distance, the Crown Princess, her face darkening, made a phone call: "Investigate the bird race, regarding the new type of beastmen. I don't care what price you pay, I just want to know everything."
Sang Zhitao had no idea that her words would cause a stir among the bird race and trigger a massive purge among all races in the beastman world.
She hopped up the history tower step by step, and by the time she reached the top, more than an hour had passed. Exhausted, she lay panting at the top of the tower.
Having finally recovered, she didn't linger any longer. She stood directly on the small platform at the top of the tower, closed her eyes tightly, and silently chanted for purification.
Sang Zhitao's chest temperature rose, a faint green light appeared, and then the jade pendant that she had once worn but which had disappeared, leaving only a tattoo, reappeared.
The jade pendant slowly floated into the air, its green light growing increasingly intense and its range expanding.
Until the faint green light spread across the skies above every city, draping the buildings of each city in a green veil.
The beastmen in the city looked up in surprise at the sky, where a green veil-like thing gradually spread from the edge of the city until it enveloped the entire city.
"Mommy, what's this?! It's so pretty!" The little fox, who was playing in the amusement park, jumped onto its mother's back.
"I don't know, be careful." The fox quickly shook the child off, bit the back of its neck, and stuffed it under its belly, its eyes full of worry.
What's this?
Is there any danger in this strange green fog?
This is the initial thought of everyone who sees the green light.
"Ring ring! Ring ring!" The phones at police stations across the country kept ringing, and everyone was asking the police, what was going on?
The moment the Crown Princess saw the green light spreading, she immediately dialed the Black Emperor's number.
However, the message of reassurance did not spread so quickly, and urgent phone calls still reached the palace one after another.
"Greetings, fellow beastmen. We have an urgent report to share. Breaking news: the Leopard Clan Chieftain has been spreading a contaminated virus in various cities. After royal research, it has been confirmed that the treatment has been transmitted through the air. If you see any green mist, do not panic. Remain calm."
All the equipment in the Orc Kingdom was requisitioned by the royal family. Whether it was outdoor advertising screens, televisions at home, or mobile phones in everyone's hands, they were all forcibly redirected to this news channel.
"That scared me to death! It was just a healing potion." The orc sitting in the office building patted his chest in fright.
“Yes, I thought there was a rebellion.” The bird next to him ate an insect and shook its feathers.
"It could be considered a rebellion, but they've been brought under control." The HR lady walked over carrying some documents. "The Leopard Clan from the finance team was just taken away; I wonder if they'll be implicated."
"Could he have given us that kind of contamination too?!" Everyone looked at her in horror, their eyes filled with apprehension.
The HR lady couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Don't worry, it's fine. Just open the window and let the medicine drift in."
"Quickly! Open the doors and windows!" The bird clan, relying on their loud and sharp voices, hurriedly shouted.
Nobody's stupid, and everyone's afraid of getting infected, so all the enclosed spaces in the city had their doors and windows forcibly opened, waiting for the green fog to return.
"vomit!"
"I...I'm in pain..."
In various places, people suddenly clutched their chests and collapsed to the ground, vomiting black liquid.
Such a scene caused many people to show fear and carefully avoid it.
But as the green mist thickened, many people regained their composure, staring in horror at the black liquid on the ground: "What's going on?!"
"It must have been contaminated." The orc next to him showed him the news clip from earlier.
"This medicine really works." The man clutched his chest in fear and took a few steps back.
A black tiger had bloodshot eyes, drool dripping from its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and its claws were constantly scratching at the ground.
In front of him was a small rabbit, who was kicking its legs and trembling as it tried to back away.
Just as the orcs made an attack gesture, a cloud of green mist suddenly drifted over.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest and couldn't help but lie on the ground, howling in agony, with black liquid constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that the black tiger was no longer attacking him, the little rabbit finally breathed a sigh of relief. He cautiously observed the other party until he realized that the person was lying on the ground spitting out black water and no longer paying attention to him. Only then did the rabbit tiptoe and cautiously walk out along the wall.
Only when he reached the black tiger's back did he feel completely at ease, and he quickly ran away.
When Black Tiger finally came to his senses, his furry face was filled with terror: "I... how did I get here?! What happened?!"
"Finally found it!" Just as he was at a loss, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. Several soldiers looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Black Lake, right? Are you awake now? Let's go to the hospital for a check-up." A handsome soldier stepped forward and gently touched him.
Black Lake backed away in fear: "Did I...do something wrong?"
"It's alright, it's alright. You'll understand once you search the trending topics. Come with us first." The soldier smiled and helped him up.
Based on the consistent reputation of soldiers, Hei Hu's nervousness dissipated somewhat, and he nodded and got into the car with the other party.
The jade pendant floated for an unknown amount of time before slowly flying towards Sang Zhitao, changing to a suitable size, and then flying into Sang Zhitao's chest.
Sang Zhitao felt a heat in her chest, then everything went black before her eyes, and her round body fell to the bottom of the Tower of History.
"Watch out!" The Crown Princess and the White Tiger screamed, but Sang Zhi Tao couldn't hear them.
"What happened!" The Crown Princess watched as the sky suddenly lit up, and then the milky yellow sphere disappeared before her eyes.
Baihu glanced at her and slowly shook his head: "I don't know, should we ask His Majesty?"
The Crown Princess pursed her lips, looked up at the sky, and after a long while said, "Let's go! Back to the palace!"
Black King paused for a moment after hearing their reply, then scratched his ear with his paw: "I guess... they went back."
"Go back?!" The Crown Princess looked suspicious.
The Black Emperor sighed and told her everything. Since the transaction door had already been opened and the Crown Princess would need to conduct the transaction with the other party, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Needless to say, the Crown Princess was shocked and took full responsibility for the subsequent transactions with Earth. Baihu rushed back to the Guard to handle the aftermath.
As for the bird tribe, the Crown Princess discovered that they had concealed the birth of new types of beastmen more than once. They were collecting these beastmen, hoping to create a powerful being.
Unfortunately, most of them were weak, prototype orcs. They had no choice but to abandon them after determining their race. In order to prevent these orcs who failed to awaken from being exposed, they even built special orphanages that resembled small worlds for the new bird-race orcs.
In these orphanages, all their equipment was monitored, and they suffered daily from the harsh environment deliberately created by the bird race and from the attacks from those around them. Most of the new beastmen, after being pampered for so long, were driven to despair by such a precipitous blow.
Only a few with strong willpower were gradually suppressed by the bird tribe and forced to disappear from public view.
Shadow was the only one who escaped the desperate situation, even revealing everything.
The Black King ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, which eventually extended to all races, further strengthening the royal family's control.
After a moment of dizziness, Sang Zhitao somehow returned to Earth with her original form...
Deep within a mountain in the orc kingdom, a girl who resembled her suddenly opened her eyes and softly uttered, "Found it..."
