The last ray of light on the sea had disappeared. The sky was covered with thick clouds. The sea was covered with a breeze and small waves. In such an atmosphere, the sudden sound of a strange voice frightened the squirrel's hair and made it hug the big snake's head subconsciously. Then she reacted and turned her head sharply to look at the big tiger filling the groove.
The tiger is talking!
After getting up from the water, the big tiger had been very silent and lay there tightly. Song Xu thought that she was unhappy because of the water and needed to slow down. Who would have thought that the tiger, who had only used roars to communicate with them for several months, would suddenly speak.
Song Xu responded in two steps, then jumped up: "Speaking!"
The big snake swam over first, touched the tiger's chin, and then circled her body, implicitly expressing its joy.
The squirrel's excitement was more obvious: "Why is she talking suddenly? Oh my God! Has she recovered? She has recovered!"
The big tiger's face did not change much in its beast form, but there was a little bit of guilt in her big eyes.
In fact, she could basically speak before she went out to sea on the boat, but her mind was not very clear at that time. A bunch of things that she slowly remembered were piled up in her mind, and her cognition was also a little problematic.
It was like she remembered that she had a cub, but when faced with the two cubs in front of her, she couldn't tell which one was which. In her memory, there was a little snake, but her experience told her that the one with fur was more reasonable, so she observed them carefully every day.
On the first day of going out to sea, she saw the vast ocean and a strong feeling of suffocation revived in her body. She remembered that she had almost drowned in the sea several times, and the stimulation made her memory much clearer. Although some memories are still a little fuzzy, she almost remembers the important things and enemies.
I think I remembered it, but I didn't find a suitable opportunity to speak.
She lay there thinking about her own things. Thinking of how she had become stupid for so long, she felt a little bad. Seeing that the child who was almost an adult when she left had not turned into a beast, she felt relieved.
Ebony carried his partner on his head, swimming beside the boat, diving into the water to catch small fish and throwing them on the boat for his partner to play with, then coiling up to surround his partner to rest... Although he looked like he was about to turn into a complete beast, he was very happy now.
As a mother, Heisen could certainly tell when this child was happy. When he was a child, Weishan gave him a bone knife made of animal bones, but he looked at it without any reaction. Weishan thought he didn't like it, and he didn't see him showing a happy expression. Only Heisen knew that he really liked it and slept with the little thing every night.
She watched quietly for two days, watching them sleep, eat, and play.
The little squirrel beastman would wipe the water off Wumu after he came out of the sea, play with him in the water when he pushed the boat, and tell him stories and sing songs when he rested.
Heisen still remembered the clips of the two people getting along when she was confused in the past few months. Heisen had never seen a couple who could get along like this.
It was probably because of such a partner that Wumu always maintained this line of sanity and refused to turn into a beast no matter how painful it was.
In addition, she was surprised that Wumu could find a partner. She thought Wumu could only cling to the trunk of a tree for the rest of his life.
"Mom! You can finally speak. Let me ask you, why are you so obsessed with that island? Is it because there is something on it that can restore Ebony? What's on the island?" The squirrel beastman jumped over without hesitation and asked the questions he was most curious about.
Song Xu has been curious about this question for too long, and she dreams about that island.
Unfortunately, Heisen could only answer her: "I don't know what's on the island."
Heisen still had some tenderness for this little beastman who was initially mistaken for his cub, and nudged her with his nose: "There is indeed a way to turn Ebony into a beastman."
"It was Alugu who said that. When I was pregnant, Alugu told me that if the child was a half-orc, I should go to the primitive beast sea in the west, to a small island, and the half-orc would be transformed into an orc... I only remember his general words. It was a long time ago."
She had not thought at first that the child she would give birth to would really be a half-orc. After all, there were not many half-orcs in their tribe. It was not until Wumu grew up that she realized that he might really be a half-orc, so she set out to find a solution on the eve of Wumu's adulthood.
When she left the tribe, she first wanted to find Alugu to ask him, but she didn't know which tribe Alugu was from. Considering the situation they met, he was more likely to be a wandering orc without a tribe. She could only go to the place where they first met and waited for a few days, but unfortunately he didn't show up.
In fact, she couldn't even remember Alugu's name clearly. She was not sure if it was called this name, which made it even harder to find him.
She had no choice but to go west to look for the primitive orc forest and decided to go and see. She kept walking west, but it was too far away, and there were animals and orcs she had never seen before, as well as terrain and weather that she couldn't adapt to. It took her a long time to get here.
"Alugu?" Song Xu wondered, guessing, "Is he Wumu's father?"
The question suddenly turned here, Song Xu was curious: "Is he also a snake beastman?"
"Alugu's beast form is a python, with a black background and yellow stripes, the same color scheme as mine, very good-looking." The big tiger answered.
Song Xu nodded repeatedly, and then whispered to Wumu: "I think the color scheme of dark red background and black stripes is the best!" Heisen
also heard the whisper, she pretended not to hear it and clenched her claws, recalling: "When I met him, his size was about the same as Wumu now, and that was the first opponent I met after leaving the tribe and traveling!" The big tiger became excited when he said this, as if he had returned to the past, and clenched his tiger claws with fighting spirit.
"I couldn't beat him, and he almost strangled me to death. I didn't accept it, so I provoked him several times, but I still couldn't beat him. Since I couldn't beat him, I decided to have a child with him."
Song Xu: This logic is really beastly.
"What happened later? Did you become a couple?" Song Xu asked.
"Of course not, I don't stay in one place when I travel." The big tiger answered as a matter of course, "I left when I got pregnant, and I believe my child must be stronger than him!"
Song Xu thought of the animal world she had seen. Indeed, it was basically females who raised children. Even her original squirrel was with her mother when she was young, and was driven out when she became an adult. The couples in the tribe are not fixed, and Hesen's situation is not uncommon.
"So you and Alugu never met again?"
"I didn't have anything to look for him." Heisen scratched his paw, a little distressed, "I couldn't find him later when I wanted to look for him."
Song Xu: It's very difficult to find him after more than ten years.
"Why did Alugu tell you at the beginning that if the child is half-orc? Was he half-orc himself before, and he had experienced it?"
The big tiger said frankly: "I don't know. I don't care what he was like before or what he went through." He was just one of the countless opponents she met during her travels when she was young. The only special thing was that she couldn't beat him, so she borrowed him to give birth to a child.
"I remembered what he said and wanted to come here to take a look. On the way, I passed a small tribe. There was an old parrot orc. He also told me this legend. There is an ocean on the edge of the forest where primitive beasts live. If you can reach the first island in the ocean, you can turn a half-orc into an orc."
After listening to this, Song Xu couldn't help but sigh. Beastmen and half-orcs are still different. Look at Tiger's mother who was stupid for so long, once she stopped taking the medicine, her language function recovered so well. Look at Wumu again. He was born with poor language function, and he has never spoken such a long paragraph.
As soon as the tiger mother could speak, Song Xu wanted to pour out all his questions to her: "That weird thing just now, was he also an orc?"
"It should be a half-orc, severely deformed, and ate too many primitive beasts, turning into a complete beast."
Heisen's voice was rough and low, with a smoky throat and overlapping claws. Even though the hair on his body was not completely dry, he looked wild and elegant.
Song Xu had known his mother for a few months, and this was the first time he saw her so dignified. She was no longer the big tiger who would chase his tail and play, push rocks and turn over shells, and then shake the mud off her claws.
"In the past, there must have been many orcs who heard about the island and came here, but not all orcs could successfully reach the island. He was an example of failure. He was lucky. He did not die in this ocean and lived here for so long."
Because of the lack of success, people who failed halfway are unwilling to resign themselves to the fact that they have become stepping stones for others?
Song Xu threw aside the stepping stone that had sunk to the bottom and continued to ask: "Did Alugu also tell you that Wumu cannot eat the meat of primitive beasts?"
"No, an old man in our tribe said that orcs cannot eat primitive beast meat."
"Then after you came here, did you know that you should not eat too much primitive beast meat?" Song Xu asked.
The big tiger was silent, licking her paws to hide her embarrassment: "I thought it would be okay to eat one or two."
She was too hungry and had no other food, so she thought it would be okay to eat one or two. She also nibbled on fish when she tried to go out to sea, but she was not good at catching fish, and she failed several times. She stayed here for too long and ate too many primitive beasts without realizing it, and then... she became like this.
"Don't worry, mom, it's all in the past. Look, Wumu is fine and has come here. Now the island is in front of us, victory is in front of us, and our future is bright! My luck is very high!"
Song Xu didn't know what was on the island from Heisen, but she was even more excited now. She wished she could load the motor on the boat and go to the island immediately to find out.
At this time, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky. The dark clouds that had been gathering since the evening had grown thicker and thicker, and it was going to rain heavily.
Song Xu: "... Please give me some face and don't make the waves too big, please."
