Chapter 196 Duan Si's Memories
Jiang Xi once again saw the memories in the sea of orc powers.
A tiny black snake, leading a group of colorful little snakes, roams through the forest, catches fish and shrimp in the rivers and lakes, frightens young females, and is then hung up and beaten by its father, a beast with a human body and a snake tail.
They lived in a basin like the Amazon, and the above-ground structures of their settlements were very similar to the pyramids of the Mayan civilization, except that they were brownish-black, had flat tops, and were made of huge stone blocks, with giant snake statues on both sides of the steps.
The little black snake would soak in the pool under the giant snake statue for a while every day, but it often slacked off. After soaking for a short time, it would quietly slip away and be caught again to continue soaking.
Jiang Xi saw a happy village full of life.
But just as more than a dozen snakes, including the black snake, were preparing to transform inside the tower, a group of snake-beastmen with white scales on their bellies and below rushed in and fiercely fought with the snake-beastmen inside and outside the tower.
A young orc in the process of transforming died from an explosion after being forced to interrupt his transformation.
The black snake, which had grown considerably, stared with its scarlet snake eyes wide open, about to explode.
But just before he was about to explode, his father beast, who also had red eyes and a black tail, dragged his bloodied and mangled body and swallowed the black snake into its belly.
The snake-beastman with red eyes and a black tail emitted red and black supernatural energy from its body before exploding.
Amidst the blood and gore, Duan Si, whose appearance was much more youthful than it is now, crawled out from the exploded corpse.
He collapsed to his knees, frantically reaching for the ripped flesh and blood.
He sat on the ground, covered in blood, clutching the flesh and tail of his father beast, blood streaming from his eyes.
Until a white-bellied snake-man attacked him.
In an instant, the black supernatural power exploded, swallowing the white-bellied snake clan into bones.
The black superpower, indiscriminately devouring any snake-beastmen that approach it, friend or foe.
The tower became a purgatory, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere. A young man with black hair and red eyes crawled out of the tower like a demon from hell and devoured all the snake-beastmen outside.
Jiang Xi heard his people calling his name to wake him up, but the young man had lost all reason, and his berserk power devoured all the snake-beastmen who tried to approach him.
The white-bellied snake clan was terrified and fled in droves, but the young man chased them to their lair and slaughtered them all.
A sea of snake corpses and blood.
The last memory is of the black snake battling a giant white-bellied snake. When the black snake devours the white-bellied snake until half of its body is just bones, the white-bellied snake self-destructs, trying to drag the black snake down with it.
The white-bellied snake exploded and died, but the black snake did not die; it drifted weakly on the winding river.
Finally, the black snake was rescued by a group of shrewd-looking orcs, who put a black ring on it to suppress its supernatural abilities, and sold it to the Holy City's underground city.
A somber voice lingered in my ears.
"Kurkan".
"I want to go back to Kurkan."
"The White-bellied Serpent Clan, the White-bellied Serpent Clan, the White-bellied Serpent Clan killed my parents and my clan. I will seek revenge! I will seek revenge!"
"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill the entire White-bellied Serpent Clan..."
"Kill them all..."
"Kill...kill...kill..."
As Jiang Xi looked at these memories, tears streamed down her face without her realizing it.
The raging sea of supernatural powers was filled with green light.
The black supernatural power, tinged with blood-red light, pierced through two layers of holes upwards. The red light of the cursed power merged into the blood-red light, becoming an aid.
The black light, tinged with blood, continued to surge upwards.
The green light in the sea of supernatural powers caught up, swallowed the red light, enveloped the black light, and slowly descended amidst lightning and thunder, sinking into the sea of supernatural powers.
Healing power output, and then waves of power surged in.
Jiang Xi entered a very peculiar state.
Her superpowers seemed inexhaustible; no matter how much she used, her body was always full.
She was unaware of the passage of time and had lost her sense of the sea of supernatural abilities; all she knew was to continuously output and absorb, output and absorb...
She gradually grew drowsy, her consciousness slowly fading, until she heard a familiar voice calling her name.
"The female master."
"The female master."
"Female envoy..."
Amidst countless calls, a childish voice rang out.
"Who are you?"
Who is calling me?
Jiang Xi slowly opened her eyes, and a pair of amber eyes filled with tears came into view. Her memories returned little by little, and she slowly woke up.
"Lu...Lu Liufeng?"
Her voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for days.
"The female master."
Tears welled up in Lu Liufeng's eyes and rolled down, dripping onto Jiang Xi's cheek. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched it.
Why are you crying?
She propped herself up, trying to get up, and then found that Nafiel, Nakan, Yves, the two little green snakes, and the first female were all around her.
She then realized that she was lying in Duan Si's cave.
"Where is Duan Si?"
Jiang Xi rubbed her head and sat up.
Lu Liufeng quickly used his good hand to help the female master up.
He wanted the female to lean against him, but the moment she did, she groaned in pain.
Jiang Xi heard his cries of pain.
"Are you injured?"
She reached out, wanting to help Lu Liufeng with his treatment.
But in the instant she reached out, she saw a small black snake coiled around her wrist. If you looked closely, you could see red patterns shimmering on it.
She paused for a moment.
Even though the little black snake hadn't opened its eyes, she recognized it at a glance—it was…
"Duan Si?"
Nafiel said, "He has reverted to his ancestral ways and needs to go into a deep sleep to adapt to the baptism of the ancestral serpent bloodline."
"Atavism?"
Jiang Xi looked up at him blankly.
Is this a good thing?
Nafi pursed his lips.
"If he cannot withstand the baptism of blood, he will die in his sleep."
Generally speaking, to successfully undergo a baptism, one needs to return to the ancestral land and receive the protection of the snake spirits that have existed there for thousands of years.
But none of them knew what kind of snake clan Duan Si was, nor did they know where his ancestral land was. Even if they did know, they couldn't even get out of the cursed land, let alone send him back.
Furthermore, Duan Si was entangled with the female master and couldn't be removed at all.
Jiang Xi lowered her eyes, looking at the small black snake coiled around her wrist. She gently touched the snake's head with her fingers and murmured its name.
“Duan Si…”
If you successfully revert to your ancestral form, will you remember those massacres?
Such a horrific memory...
Jiang Xi would rather he never think about it again.
She couldn't care less about feeling sentimental, because she saw the white bone on Lu Liufeng's drooping arm.
Jiang Xi's heart clenched, and she quickly reached out, releasing her healing power to help him heal.
Her eyes stung, and she bit her lip.
"How could he be so badly injured?"
What if she cannot be treated?
He can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.
Even if she had been in the apocalypse before, with higher abilities than she has now, she simply couldn't do it.
Lu Liufeng stroked the female master's soft hair and smiled weakly.
"I'm fine."
As long as the female owner is alright, that's all that matters.
Tears blurred Jiang Xi's vision, and even though she tried her best to hold back her tears, large drops still fell.
She should blame Duan Si.
But after reading Duan Si's memories, she couldn't blame him.
If she had experienced all that, she might have gone insane long ago.
