"You said there is a way to turn half-orcs into orcs? Yes, isn't it the sinkhole?" said the orca.
Song Xu just asked casually, who knew that he would get such an easy answer. He asked excitedly: "Sinkhole? Can I go and have a look?"
The orca said casually: "Why not?" It's just a place for the tribe to get fresh water and for the cubs to play.
Song Xu followed a few orca to the sinkhole behind the tribe, chatting with them on the way and asking about the news of snakes and tigers. Unfortunately, the orca tribe had never seen them.
Among the three islands, only the orca tribe was not a mixed tribe. In addition to the orca tribe, there were few orcs of other races. Song Xu followed a group of young killer whales to the tribe, and then followed them to cross the tribe to the cenote. The killer whales they met on the way looked at her more.
Fortunately, no killer whales made things difficult for her. They were either curious and friendly or ignored her directly.
The little squirrel, who was not with the dangerous snakes, was considered harmless, and its treatment increased sharply. It was easily accepted and walked freely in the tribe without any obstacles.
Even when it encountered an old-looking and fierce female killer whale when it was about to reach the cenote, the little squirrel was not embarrassed.
A group of young people shrunk their heads and shouted, "Xini."
Song Xu mixed in with them and shouted, "Xini!"
The ferocious-looking female killer whale reached out and touched the squirrel's head, revealing a terrifying smile. Looking at the two rows of big teeth in the grinning mouth, Song Xu also shrunk his head along with the young killer whales.
Grandma, you look like you want to eat children when you laugh.
The bored young killer whales took Song Xu to the sinkhole in the tribe. This sinkhole is larger than the sinkholes on the other two islands. A killer whale picked up a stone that was emitting a light blue fluorescence in the pit: "Look, this stone, the orcs can transform after eating it."
Song Xu took the stone that was shining in the sun. At first glance, the base color was black, but if you turn the stone at will, you can see fine fluorescence on it.
Looking at the pit, there are almost such stones everywhere. The largest one is even several meters long, and the surface is bright, like the night sky and the twinkling stars.
"Just... eat it, it's that simple?" Song Xu thought to himself that it was not so simple for Tang Monk and his disciples to obtain the true scriptures after reaching the West Heaven. There were still some tests and procedures.
"Is it easy? It's not easy for you orcs on the land to come to us. There are primitive beasts on the other side of the sea, and many orcs died there."
Song Xu felt like he had reached the end of the game, facing a high-level treasure chest with no monsters guarding it.
"Then why don't you leave some people here to guard such an important place?" How can there be no guards in the place of treasure? This is unreasonable!
"Why should we guard it? This place is not important." The orcs with shiny muscles and sharp teeth smiled innocently. "These stones are just beautiful, but they are of no use to us."
"Yes, and we have to hunt and play. We don't have time to guard here. It's boring here."
I understand. These things are only treasures for orcs. Local people don't take them seriously.
"Then can I pick up a few stones and take them away?" Realizing this, Song Xu made this request.
She had thought about it. She packed more for Sheshe. She didn't know if the big tiger needed it, so she gave it to her too. She could also share it with the orc friends she met on the road. And this is also a local specialty. She can take more with her in case she needs it in the future.
Song Xu had made all the plans, but who knew that the orcs would shake their heads.
"This stone is useless if you take it away."
The orcs explained in unison, and Song Xu automatically skipped the words that started to quarrel and curse, and extracted the key points.
This kind of stone is only useful inside the tiankeng. Once you leave the tiankeng, even if you are in other places on the island, it will slowly lose its fluorescence. When the fluorescence completely dissipates, the stone will turn gray and white, and it will break into powder at the touch. This powder has no effect on the metamorphosis of the orcs.
Moreover, this fluorescence dissipates very quickly. To see how fast it is, Song Xu picked up a stone and stood outside the tiankeng to test it. It turned out that after a while, the beautiful stone lost its light and broke into slag. The speed of dissipation is definitely faster than the speed at which she ran out of the island.
Thus, her plan to pack up the stones and take them away fell through.
Song Xu was extremely disappointed, staring at the stones that could not be taken away, her heart filled with the torment of facing a treasure that could not be used.
No wonder the orcs had to go through hardships to cross the ocean to the island, and there was no such stone circulation, it turned out that it was because of the difficulty in transportation and preservation.
Perhaps because of the magnetic field or geographical reasons of this tiankeng, Song Xu became curious about the environment of the tiankeng. She unwillingly walked around the pit several times, trying to find out why this stone could not leave here.
At the bottom of the tiankeng, Song Xu found several black stones with traces of carvings on them, which could form a series of stone carvings.
"What is this?" When Song Xu was wandering around the bottom of the cenote, several killer whales who followed the squirrel to satisfy their curiosity left. Song Xu heard them discussing where to catch fish to eat. There were only two killer whales left, the two killer whales who first discovered Song Xu.
The two looked young and were brothers. Hearing Song Xu's question, one of them said, "That has existed for a long time. I had it when I was a child."
The other said, "You fool! She asked what it was, not when it appeared. You should have answered that it was a stone with paintings on it!"
Song Xu: "..." It can be seen that it is a stone with paintings on it.
"That is a painting that has been passed down from a long time ago. It is said that it has existed since the birth
of our tribe." The older female killer whale named Xini who had met before came over. The quarreling killer whale brothers squatted aside and continued to argue in a low voice. Xini pointed to the painting on one of the stones and showed Song Xu: "The painting here means that the moon in the sky fell down and created this sinkhole."
Song Xu couldn't understand those traces at all. After Xini explained it, Song Xu suddenly realized that the big circle refers to the sinkhole, and the small circle in the sinkhole refers to the moon that fell.
Of course, it is definitely not a real moon. Song Xu guessed that it might be a meteorite.
She came to Xini's side and asked obediently: "What about this one, what does it mean?"
The one she pointed to had something she was interested in, a person with a human body and a fish tail, a mermaid! Although the human body is so abstract that it is barely recognizable, the fish tail is so large that it is a bit scary.
Unlike his ferocious face, Xi Ni was relatively patient in answering her questions: "This painting means that the moon made the beastmen in the sea evolve, and they took on beastman forms. At first they had human bodies and fish tails, and later they changed into complete beastman forms..."
She also talked about the legend of the stars, the sun, and the moon in the tribe: the sun guides the direction, the moon is the homeland of the beastmen, and the stars are the people who left.
Song Xu had heard of similar legends before, and it seemed that this legend was universal on land and sea, and perhaps there was a message hidden in it that she didn't know.
The sentence "the moon is the homeland of the beastmen" combined with this vague depiction probably makes people understand that meteorites fell from the moon, irradiating the marine life living around them and turning them into the beastmen we have today. It is also possible that the beastmen originally came from the moon?
But no matter what, the "moon" in this legend must not be the moon in her previous world.
After watching that row of carvings, the two young killer whales waiting on the side could not stay any longer. Young beastmen of this age could not stay quietly in one place. They would just say hello and slip away.
The squirrel, who had lost her guide, suddenly felt her stomach growling in dissatisfaction. She approached the tour guide beside her and smiled cutely: "Xi Ni..."
She was almost starving to death after drifting on the sea for so long. No matter what, she had to get something to eat first.
On the first island, the big snake could not feel the breath of the squirrel and the tiger in the tiankeng. He slapped the ground angrily. The wounds on his tail were torn by his violent movements, and blood splashed on the stones beside him.
He wanted to leave here, and this behavior made the mother and daughter of the blue shark curious: "Does he want to leave? Does he not want to eat the stones anymore?"
"How strange, is he looking for something?"
Seeing that the big snake was about to climb out of the sinkhole, the sharp teeth of the great white shark appeared at the edge of the sinkhole. Without two companions by his side, he walked a little shaky, and stood at the edge of the pit with a face full of dissatisfaction and shouted: "Do you want to eat the stones of our tribe? I don't allow it, you crawl out!"
The big snake was angry, and heard the loud provocation, and immediately rushed up to attack.
A great white shark, on the land, turned into a beast, trying to crush a big snake with its own weight, but was tied up by the big snake and couldn't open its mouth, and two holes were bitten on its body.
They rolled down the slope of the cenote and entered the freshwater lake at the bottom.
The mother and daughter of the blue shark who were fetching water witnessed everything: "..."
"What was that stupid thing, Sharp Teeth, doing just now? What is he doing? The water is muddy!"
"Okay, stop complaining, come and help separate them, or something will happen."
The older blue shark entered the water and pushed the two guys who looked not sober to the shore. The younger blue shark on the shore grabbed the great white shark and dragged it to the side. She was accidentally hit by the struggling great white shark. She was immediately furious and opened her mouth to hit the great white shark, biting several bloody holes, and finally made him calm down.
The older man skillfully used his strong arms to strangle the snake's head. When the snake opened its mouth and hissed subconsciously, he picked up a large stone and stuffed it into the snake's mouth.
"Ka..." The snake was blocked by the stone and a bulge appeared on its neck.
The older blue shark let go of him and looked at his neck, wondering: "Is this stone a little too big?"
