The magical ritual was performed amidst leaping firelight.
"I pray to the Beast God to grant me peace, safety, strength, and health!"
A sprightly old man stood beside the campfire, his voice melodious and deep as he passionately called out to the sky.
The voice seemed to have the power to travel through time, which greatly shocked Sheng Xia, and the golden totem pattern in her mind suddenly lit up.
In the height of summer, her gaze sharpened slightly as she prepared to examine the pattern closely, but the totem pattern flickered playfully and vanished without a trace.
Summer: "..." What the heck?
A sudden thought flashed through her mind. She looked ahead, her vision gradually blurring as she recalled the totem patterns that had appeared and disappeared so often before.
I realized I'd overlooked an important detail: the totem pattern seems to be getting brighter.
Is there some connection she's unaware of...?
My thoughts drifted away without me realizing it, and when I came back to my senses, I heard a frenzied and excited cheer.
In the height of summer, I turned my head to look.
The surrounding warriors erupted in unprecedented cheers and excitement, and every orc in the Wolf Den tribe had a look of awe and fervor toward the Beast God in their eyes.
Even the warriors of Yafatu were excited.
The ceremony on the stage continued. Wolf's expression was serious, and his eyes were firm as he looked at the blue-haired female being held in his partner's arms. He said in a deep voice,
"Next, get ready!"
Upon hearing the sound, Shengxia looked over, her eyes widening in shock. She covered her mouth in disbelief and shrank back into Hu Xue's arms.
Beast God, what did she see?
The blue-haired female was being forced to smell the bloody chunks of flesh by her mate, her head almost completely buried inside. The male's eyes were full of pity, but his grip was anything but gentle.
She was still quietly comforting him.
"Hang in there, it'll be over soon. Inhale deeply through your nose, okay? Don't struggle, just inhale as much as you can..."
Sheng Xia gasped, staring in a mixture of fear and dread.
The enormous chunk of meat resembled a long, curved bag, soft in texture with many wrinkles on its surface. It was dark brown and translucent, and one could vaguely see undigested grass roots and other food inside...
Undigested food?
Is it the stomach?
Oh right, Aoki said it was about smelling the stomach!
Sensing Sheng Xia's fear, a flash of worry crossed Hu Xue's eyes as she hugged her tightly, while Wolf King gently stroked her back with his warm hand.
Yang Yun looked at the stage, a hint of confusion flashing in her cool eyes. She reached out and covered Sheng Xia's eyes, saying with pity,
"Xiaxia, stop looking, let's go back?"
Aoki, watching from the side, grimaced, then turned and patted a male's arm, beaming with a loud voice, "..."
"Can this improve physical fitness? Really?"
Upon hearing the questioning, the nearby males all looked over, their faces showing signs of insult, and solemnly emphasized,
"It works! This is the guidance of the Beast God."
Legend has it that cows and sheep can see treasures with their eyes, and if they are let out, they will find divine herbs to eat on their own. People who smell the stomachs of cows are as if they have inhaled the divine herbs.
It can cure diseases and improve physical fitness.
Many times, illnesses that witch doctors couldn't cure were cured by smelling the stomachs of cows or sheep.
Of course, there are also those who didn't recover and even died faster; that's because they weren't strong enough and couldn't make it through.
"Little lambs, don't worry, I'm fine."
Listening to the conversation beside her, Sheng Xia pulled Yang Yun's hand down, blinked to prepare herself mentally, and looked curiously at the stage.
The circle of females quickly dwindled to just two.
Their expressions were a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, but not resistance.
The north wind howled, and snowflakes fell gently, but the ceremony on the stage continued.
First the females smell, then the cubs, and finally the adult males. By the time they reach the adult males, the process is much faster.
At the same time, the aroma of beef broth wafted out.
Looking at the steaming hot beef soup in front of her, Sheng Xia thought she would feel nauseous, but her stomach started growling.
"Xiaxia wants to eat? That's great, come and try it." Tie Bai walked over with a spoon, his clear and crisp voice laughing.
He just tasted the poison, and it tasted surprisingly good.
Shengxia used her supernatural abilities to check and confirmed that it was non-toxic. She smiled, took the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth. Her bright almond-shaped eyes lit up.
The soup was thin, but the aroma was rich and intense.
She looked up in surprise: "It's delicious."
The bowl of soup was quickly emptied. Sheng Xia paused for a moment, realizing that her appetite was abnormally large.
This soup bowl is enough for the whole family; it's bigger than a basin.
Is she pregnant?
That shouldn't be the case... She was using contraception.
If you're not pregnant, then it's just that you need to gain weight for the snowy season.
"Quick, get back to the burrow! A blizzard is coming!" a female screamed, and then the whole square erupted into chaos.
Hearing the sound, Sheng Xia suddenly snapped out of her daze, her expression changing: "Another blizzard? Are we stuck here?"
I was originally planning to leave today.
"Xiaxia, Maoning just went to check, and the snow outside the tribe is up to your waist when you step in it."
"The wind is so strong it could blow away beasts. We can't leave today. We'd better hurry back to our burrows to hide." Snake came running over anxiously.
Leopard Spring followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on Snake Han's feet, his face filled with panic as if he were afraid that Snake Han would fall.
Little did they know, the snake was now full of energy and there was no need to worry too much.
"Okay." Sheng Xia nodded obediently.
Mao Ning and his group are very experienced in going out, so listening to them is definitely the right thing to do. All she can do is cooperate well and not hold them back.
The blizzard lasted for two days.
Everyone stayed in the burrow for two days, taking turns to explore the situation and relieve themselves; no animals went out the rest of the time.
...The wind and snow were so strong that I couldn't open my eyes.
That noon, the Shengxia family was having lunch in the cave, while the other warriors next door were also eating.
She sat at the dining table in a cheerful mood, took a bite of a fish ball, chewed it with her cheeks puffed out, and listened curiously to the warriors outside gossiping.
The conversation got a little risqué...
"This is so boring, my hands are practically useless from all this idleness," a male muttered through gritted teeth, clenching his fist.
"Me too, me too. It's so strange to suddenly have so much free time. I wonder when the blizzard will stop," the male next to me chimed in.
"Don't you all use your hands to work? Let me tell you..."
"Hehehe..."
"Hehehe..."
Shengxia was speechless, glancing at her companions out of the corner of her eye, her ears turning red.
She bit her lower lip, pretending not to hear, and lowered her head to drink her soup seriously. Honestly, even a meal can lead to such a strange place.
Very good, this is very beast world.
Several males nearby had their eyes fixed on their partner, and seeing her shy expression, they understood what was going on outside.
His lips were iron-white and curved, and a few strands of soft white hair falling beside his cheeks made him appear even more otherworldly. He placed a piece of meat in Shengxia's bowl, his voice clear and crisp.
"Xia, don't just drink soup, eat some meat too."
"Okay, sure." Sheng Xia kept her head down and finished the meat in a few bites.
Yang Yuan paused for a moment with his chopsticks, which were holding meat, and then hesitantly placed the meat into Sheng Xia's bowl, blinking his peach blossom eyes in confusion.
Why does it feel like something's wrong with my mother?
