Chapter 8: Analyzing the Berserk Abilities
A hissing sound echoed through the woods.
Almost instantly, Jiang Xi sensed the danger.
She quickly turned her head and saw a huge black snake head with vertical scarlet eyes suddenly appear in front of her.
Jiang Xi sensed the killing intent in the vertical pupils.
Without hesitation, she immediately shouted, "Help—"
Shouting as he ran frantically into the woods.
But the next second, black scales appeared before her eyes, and with a single loop, they encircled her into the snake's tail.
The snake was enormous, and Jiang Xi didn't even have a chance to escape.
They could only watch helplessly as the giant snake head opened its massive mouth, flicking its scarlet tongue, and charged down.
Jiang Xi subconsciously raised her hand to block.
The next second, a shimmering green light appeared in her palm, and her palm touched the snake's forked tongue.
Then, the snake's open jaws slowly closed, and its scarlet eyes gradually became dull. The huge black snake remained frozen in place, motionless.
When Yves and Nakan arrived with the orcs, this was the scene that showed the female ruler's spiritual power manifesting itself.
An orc cried out in surprise.
"She is a favored female!"
"How could there be a favored female in the Cursed Land!"
The orcs of the Lion's Roar tribe were also stunned.
"Wasn't it said that her outward spiritual power disappeared? That's why she was exiled to the cursed land."
"How could this be..."
Females are precious, but favored females are even more precious. No matter how big a mistake they make, they will not be exiled to the cursed land.
The Holy Mother, needless to say.
Jiang Xi stood there, stunned.
She instinctively closed her eyes.
Her vision, which had been shrouded in darkness, suddenly opened up, and her consciousness entered the Black Serpent's sea of supernatural powers without any hindrance.
She saw a black ocean, with raging winds and torrential rain, towering waves and surging tsunamis, as if it would break through this world and submerge the unseen land at any moment.
The surging waves paused for a moment when Jiang Xi entered.
A faint green light spread across the black ocean, and the surging waves gradually calmed down after encountering the green light.
Although it was still churning, it was no longer as violent and terrifying as it had been at the beginning.
What is she doing?
"Duan Si doesn't look injured."
"Wait, Duan Si's berserk power seems to have stabilized a lot."
"Isn't the outward manifestation of the Holy Favored Female's spiritual power only able to be channeled through the Temple's guiding stone in order to externally manage her sea of supernatural abilities?"
"Even a holy woman needs a guiding stone, right?"
Jiang Xi was immersed in the sea of supernatural powers and could not hear the sounds of the outside world.
Her healing abilities allowed her to traverse the black ocean without feeling strained; on the contrary, she found it quite enjoyable. However, as time went on, a feeling of expansion slowly developed, making her feel as if she would burst if she continued to traverse it.
Jiang Xi controlled her supernatural power and slowly withdrew.
The thought of taking it back had barely crossed her mind when she staggered back a step, leaned against the giant snake, and opened her eyes.
At the same time, she felt a lot of sticky liquid oozing out from her body, which was wrapped in animal skin.
She could also sense that her healing ability had broken through to level 2.
The enormous snake head slowly lowered, its vertical pupils closed, the black snake lost consciousness, and collapsed.
Jiang Xi then recognized that the giant black snake was her snake-clan beast husband, Duan Si, the underground fighting assassin who had been licking blood off the edge of a knife for many years.
Her feelings were more complicated than fear.
She hadn't expected that Duan Si really hated 'her' to this extent.
It should be understood that if the female dies, the male beasts will also die.
Duan Si is determined to take everyone down with him.
At that moment, a young man's voice rang out from outside the snake's body.
"Mistress Duan Si, are you alright?"
The snake was so large that Jiang Xi, surrounded in the middle, couldn't see what was outside at all.
Nakan, confirming that Duan Si was unconscious, leaned over.
He instinctively wanted to reach out and pull the female, who was wrapped in the middle of the snake's body, out, but then he remembered Yves's words and asked instead.
"Can I carry you out?"
Jiang Xi was overjoyed and quickly reached out her hand to him.
She had tried several times, but the snake was too high and slippery, and she couldn't climb out at all.
Nakan carefully bent over, controlling his body to avoid touching Duans, so as not to provoke Duans's instinctive attack.
The female was as light as a feather; he gently picked her up and carried her out.
"Thanks."
After Jiang Xi came out, she quickly jumped down from his arms.
She had no time to feel embarrassed, because she was once again surrounded by the snake-beastmen...
This time, the beastmen all transformed into half-beastmen with human heads and snake bodies, each with their upper bodies showing obvious muscle definition. Some even transformed into full-fledged beastmen, wearing only an animal skin around their waists, exposing their chests and thighs, leaving her nowhere to look.
Jiang Xi couldn't help but take a step back, her back hitting the cold snake's body, and she quickly pulled back.
She felt sticky and uncomfortable all over, and there was a faint stench in her nostrils. If it weren't for the thick animal hide covering her, the stench would probably have spread out.
Even with all her patience, Jiang Xi couldn't stand the stench for a whole day.
She looked at the slightly more familiar red-haired youth and asked, "Is there a place to take a shower here?"
"Take a bath?" Nakan was puzzled for a moment, then guessed that it meant to wash the body.
It's estimated to be a large city like the Holy City.
“Yes, yes, I’ll take you there.” Nakan’s eyes lit up, and he introduced himself eagerly, “My name is Nakan, and I come from the Mangjiao tribe.”
The unmarried snake beastmen of the Python and Sky Tribes looked on with envy, while the snake beastmen of the Lion Roar Tribe were completely dumbfounded.
Jiang Xi left with Nakan.
Because the female said she was going to take a bath and was not invited, the remaining beastmen could not follow her.
The unmarried beastmen looked at each other, and finally their gazes fell on the basket on the ground, which was filled with unknown plants.
"Ahem." An orc coughed, trying to cover up his misunderstanding.
"I'm leaving now."
But this wasn't the same kind of journey; instead, they ventured into the woods and began picking the plants from the basket on their backs.
The other orcs also left, but they all went into the forest to secretly pick the fruit.
When they occasionally bumped into other orcs, they always acted as if it were a coincidence.
Jehol Valley is right next to a geothermal volcano, so there are also hot springs in the valley.
However, because the pool was too small, and the snakes and beasts in the valley preferred to move in a snake-like shape, they couldn't fit inside, so people usually just swam directly in the river.
Nakan led the way by wagging his tail, his heart pounding.
The female invited him to take a bath...
The female invited him to take a bath...
Or perhaps a favored female...
After I take a shower, can I propose?
After the proposal, a marriage contract is signed. If the female is unwilling to live in the Python Tribe after the marriage contract, she can live in the Lion Roar Tribe.
Jiang Xi was completely unaware of this and only wanted to clean herself up, as the stench emanating from between the animal hides was growing stronger and stronger.
She was worried that Nakan would hear about it, so she kept her distance from him.
The valley isn't very long, and although the hot spring pools are at the end of the valley, you get there quickly.
There are four or five pools of varying sizes, hidden among the trees and nestled on the rocky mountains, where you can even see the snow-capped peaks on the mountainside.
Upon seeing the pool, Nakan snapped out of his reverie and regretted not having made a good impression on the way, thus failing to learn more about the female master.
Jiang Xi also saw the pool behind the tree; it was more secluded than she had imagined.
She quickly thanked him, "Thank you."
"N-nothing...it's nothing." Nakan's face was flushed, but because of his red hair and tail, it wasn't very noticeable; instead, it added a touch of demonic aura to his appearance.
He's never bathed with a female before.
He took a deep breath and was about to shed his tail and transform into his full beastman form when the female in front of him spoke again.
"Then...then I won't see you off."
Nakan slowly raised his head. "Huh?"
