Chapter 32: Is it going to grow horns?
Jiang Xi, unaware of the complexities in his heart, casually waved her hand.
"It's nothing, it's just mutually beneficial."
"I'll help you manage your superpowers, and you help me find the food I want."
Duan Si's mind was even more complicated.
Because the female in front of them seemed to have no idea how valuable the ability to manipulate supernatural powers was.
It's not something that can be exchanged for a little food.
Jiang Xi didn't think too much about it. She described the olive to Duan Si again, just in case he had seen it before.
Duan Si thought for a moment.
"I'm not sure, but I can take you to see it."
Jiang Xi's eyes lit up. "Then let's go quickly."
Duan Si transformed back into a giant black snake, its scarlet snake eyes fixed on her.
"Come on up, it's a bit far, I'll take you there."
Jiang Xi was about to climb up when she realized that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Then, she slapped her forehead.
"Oh dear, where are those two little guys, Dana and Dale!"
She searched all over the place.
Duan Si spread his tail, and two small green snakes lay in the small mound of earth, their eyes seeing stars.
Jiang Xi was startled and rushed over.
What happened?
She reached out and scooped up two small green snakes, who, still dizzy, coiled themselves around her arm.
"The female master is fragrant, fragrant."
"The female master is fragrant, fragrant."
Jiang Xi: "..."
She pointed at the two little ones with her fingers, "What time is it? They still smell so good. Are they feeling unwell anywhere?"
She was a little worried and tentatively channeled her healing powers into the two little green snakes.
But then, the two little green snakes became even more confused and couldn't even wrap themselves around her anymore. With a "plop," they fell off her arm.
With a flick of his black snake tail, Duan Si lifted the two small green snakes and flung them onto the head of the huge black snake.
"They're still young and have been affected by the mental power of the sorting ability. They're a bit drunk, but they'll be fine in a bit. Don't worry."
Generally, orcs can only enjoy the ability to cleanse themselves after they get married.
Before the orcs transform into human form, the Sea of Extraordinary Powers is calm and will not riot, but it is also highly connected to the brain and cannot be separated.
In this situation, if one receives a special ability to calm down, they will feel lightheaded and disoriented, but a good night's sleep will fix it.
Furthermore, the fact that the cubs can receive power management before their transformation period is something many father beasts would love to do.
Being groomed before the transformation period allows the little ones to have a more stable and powerful sea of supernatural abilities after their transformation.
Only in places like the Holy City, with its temple and guiding stones, can the little ones possibly be groomed before their transformation period.
Even so, not all cubs are entitled to be groomed.
Generally speaking, only the offspring of the Holy Favored Ones and Holy Mothers, or the core offspring of powerful beastmen, can receive this honor.
Yves is really lucky.
Jiang Xi felt relieved after hearing this.
If something happens to the two little ones because of her, she won't be able to explain it to Yves.
Duan Si lowered his snake head to the ground, "Get on."
Jiang Xi looked at the imposing snake head with shining eyes and climbed up.
The snake scales were cold and hard. The scales in the center of the top of the snake's head were different from those on the body; they were hexagonal, like a tortoise shell.
Jiang Xi touched it with some curiosity.
But as soon as the fingers touched it, the snake's head beneath them twisted.
Duan Si's voice came from below, a cold and slightly hoarse tone.
"Sit still."
Jiang Xi felt a little guilty and quickly sat up straight, no longer daring to touch anything inappropriate.
"Alright, let's go."
But the next second, the snake swam forward, and she was thrown backward by inertia.
In order to control her body, Jiang Xi hurriedly lunged forward and lay on the snake's head.
Now, not only did they touch it, but they pressed their entire bodies against it.
The snake paused for a moment, then swam away again.
It was as if nothing had happened.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my first time riding a snake, I have no experience."
Jiang Xi, supporting herself on the snake scales, sat up somewhat awkwardly.
But then, she touched a protrusion on the outside of the hexagonal scales, near the direction of the snake's eye.
It's like... a horn that's about to stick out.
The snake transforms into a dragon, and the dragon transforms into a serpent.
Is Duan Si about to transform into a dragon?
"Duan Si, are you going to grow horns?"
Duan Si hesitated for a moment, but did not stop moving and continued to roam in the woods.
"What horn?"
Jiang Xi looked down and examined it closely. She found a small white dot in the gap between the scales, as if it was about to break through.
"It's similar to evolution."
"For example, the chief of the Lion Roar tribe had the blood of a six-winged white lion, so his son reverted to his ancestral form and grew two wings."
"Could yours also be a case of atavism?"
Duan Si's thoughts drifted away.
Atavism... Evolution...
"have no idea."
All he knew was that he had lived in Kurkan, the ancestral home of the snake tribe, since childhood.
Before he took human form, his ancestral land was invaded by the White-bellied Serpent Clan, his parents and clansmen were killed, and he was sold to the Holy City's underground city to become a fighting suicide soldier for the entertainment beastmen and females, fighting and killing day and night.
In his world, there is nothing but fighting and revenge.
He wanted to return to Kurkan, kill the White-bellied Serpent Clan, and avenge his parents and clan.
Jiang Xi didn't think much of it when he said he didn't know.
"All right."
After all, as time goes by and the species reproduces, even the most powerful ancestral beast bloodline genes will gradually dilute into ordinary beastmen.
Unless a family line never breaks down, many orcs will not know how powerful their ancestors were until they revert to their ancestral form.
Just like in the peaceful times before the end of the world, all ordinary people had ancestors who were royalty.
The same applies to the orc world; ordinary genes simply cannot be passed down.
Ordinary orcs can't even find a female master, let alone continue their genetic lineage.
Jiang Xi only knew that Duan Si came from the underground fighting arena, but she didn't know anything about his background, so she subconsciously assumed that he was an orphan like Mu Ling.
However, Mu Ling was luckier than him. Although she was also ordered around, she didn't have to live a life of constant danger.
Neither Jiang Xi nor Duan Si are talkative people.
For the rest of the time, the two remained silent.
All that could be heard was the rustling and whispering sound of scales brushing against the grass and branches.
Jiang Xi relaxed and enjoyed the fresh air in the forest.
As we went deeper, the ground became less bumpy, and the temperature cooled down a bit.
Just when Jiang Xi thought they might be heading to the snow forest, Duan Si stopped.
The enormous snake's head moved toward a lush, leafy tree.
Without transforming, Duan Si asked first, "Is this it?"
Jiang Xi bumped into a large, heavy tree full of fruit.
She picked up the thumb-sized fruit, looked at it, and shook her head regretfully.
"no."
What bad luck today!
Why can't it be like the day before yesterday, where you can just step anywhere and find endless food?
Duan Si stood there, unsure of what to do next.
He was good at hunting.
But he really didn't know what food was available in the woods.
All he could ask was, "Where do we go now?"
I hope she can give him some direction.
Jiang Xi sat cross-legged on the snake's head.
She rested her elbows on her thighs and her palms on her chin, and sighed.
"Let's go back."
Lu Liufeng had other important matters to attend to.
Although Jiang Xi instructed him to listen to the first female first.
But subconsciously, she could vaguely sense that Lu Liufeng would definitely be waiting for her.
Anyway, we can come back to Jehol Valley again, and we've already made a deal with Duans, so it will be much easier to come back in the future.
Thinking of this, a sweet feeling inexplicably rose in Jiang Xi's heart.
It feels so good to have someone waiting for you!
