Chapter 24 Transformation
Priest, open your eyes
The gathering team brought back all the hot fruits they could find outside to the tribe.
Shen Nong made most of it into chili sauce, and everyone came to get a can to save for eating during the winter.
Fish head also has a new home, chopped pepper fish head.
The air above the Mu tribe is filled with a spicy aroma every day, and the tribesmen can be heard making "hissing" sounds from the spicy peppers from time to time.
"Hahaha, cat grass, your mouth has turned red from the heat of the hot fruit. It's so red!"
"The priest said this is called chili!" Mao Cao said, and scooped out a spoonful of chili sauce with a ceramic spoon and put it in the broth.
He took a deep breath, letting the cool air lower the temperature in his mouth. "What's wrong with your mouth being red? Put some delicious chili sauce in the broth. It will be spicy enough!"
Tuhua shook her head repeatedly, "You only remember the new name of the hot fruit that the priest said, but why don't you remember that the priest said we can't eat too much of it."
Mao Cao swallowed a mouthful of spicy soup and hissed, "You...hiss...you think I don't want to stop? But I...hiss...I take one bite and I can't stop."
Hushan patted Tuhua on the shoulder and said, "He used to love eating hot fruits. Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go and help the guards build the wall."
Autumn came quietly. Except for the hunting teams and the people who made crossbows and catapults who had a large number of training every day, everyone else had to help build walls and fire brick kilns.
With the unremitting efforts of the tribesmen, a solid and tall wall was built, enclosing the Mu tribe.
The city wall has not been completely built yet and needs to be raised and thickened.
Shen Nong collected fish skin clothes and animal skins, enough for everyone in the tribe to keep warm.
He had learned about the winter temperature in the beast world from the system, and he could fully enjoy outdoor activities by wearing these warm clothes.
Therefore, Shen Nong was no longer in a hurry to build the city wall. His most urgent task now was the orc awakening ceremony of the Wood Tribe.
The center of the tribe is a circular square paved with red bricks. It covers a large area and is big enough for Dahei to sit down.
There was a wooden platform more than one meter high in the square. Shen Nong stood on the platform and looked down at the tribesmen.
Today is the awakening ceremony of the orcs of the Mu tribe. Shen Nong followed the instructions of the system and made the orcs who had not yet awakened stand within two meters of him.
Maocao stood under the platform with his head held high and his chest puffed out, staring at the priest above with burning eyes.
He is about to wake up.
This realization made Maocao's blood boil. Every time he saw the hunting team going out hunting, he felt particularly envious.
Being able to awaken into an orc is what he has always wanted to do most.
Last autumn, Maocao thought that he would never be able to awaken in his lifetime.
Who would have thought that he was now standing under the awakening platform, waiting for the priest to awaken him.
Shen Nong used his special powers and vines spread from all directions.
He used the vines as a medium and covered the vines with supernatural energy.
There are dots of dark green flickering on the leaves, like fireflies.
As Shen Nong covered more and more supernatural powers, the fluorescence became more and more dense.
The slender fingertips lightly tapped in the air, and the firefly seemed to come to life, breaking away from the leaves and floating towards the tribesmen who had not yet awakened.
The glow slowly sank into the body, and a powerful force full of new life flowed through the body like a stream.
Maocao felt that the powerful force was getting stronger and stronger, so much that he could hardly bear it.
After enduring it again and again, he finally fell to the ground.
Since Maocao fell, more and more tribesmen fell one after another.
They huddled on the red bricks, holding their heads in pain.
After seeing this, Shen Nong strengthened his supernatural powers.
The system said that his ability would not stop until everyone had successfully transformed.
Otherwise, the orcs will fail to awaken.
Due to the massive consumption of supernatural powers, the color on Shen Nong's face began to fade, and he looked a little exhausted.
Nearly twenty unawakened orcs require a lot of energy.
Ze frowned, enduring the severe pain of blood rushing through his body. His eyes were fixed on Shen Nong, paying close attention to his condition.
The members of the Mu tribe also looked at the priest on the platform at this time.
In the past, every time an awakening occurred, it was a great achievement if one or two orcs successfully awakened in the tribe.
The priest who awakens the most orcs at one time is the Salt Tribe Priest. It is said that he can awaken five orcs in the tribe every time.
They looked at the scene in front of them in amazement. Their priest...their priest actually made all the orcs who participated in the awakening ceremony show signs of awakening!
Shen Nong felt his energy gradually depleting, and his spiritual core began to ache slightly.
"System, how long will it take?"
The system checked the orc's threshold and replied: "Host, please hold on for a while longer. You are almost at the critical point."
"ah!"
From under the platform came screams of pain in bones caused by the initial transformation. After enduring the pain, a one-meter-long white cat fluttered around in the square.
Maocao had never felt his body so strong and so light.
He jumped in front of a tiger cub that was about the same size as him and pressed its nose with his paw. The moment his paw pad touched the wet nose tip, the tiger cub raised its paw and waved it away.
"Hushan, let's see who is bigger between us!"
Hushan couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. Successfully awakening and transforming was his dream come true.
Now that his wish had been fulfilled, he couldn't help but say, "I'm definitely older than you!"
Just as the two were arguing fiercely over who was bigger, and even curled up and kicked each other with their hind legs, Tuhua looked down at the two fighting people.
"I'm the biggest!"
In contrast to the liveliness in the audience, Shen Nong's condition was getting worse and worse.
The pain from the soul core became more and more intense. Shen Nong's lower lip was bitten by him and blood oozed out.
The system detected that Shen Nong's body could not hold on any longer, and hurriedly reminded: "Host, you can stop now!"
Hearing the system's voice, Shen Nong concentrated his mind and looked at the audience.
At this time, many orc warriors had awakened in the audience, and each of them had successfully transformed.
Just when Shen Nong was about to retract his supernatural powers, he caught a glimpse of one person in the "herd" who had not transformed.
A sharp pain came from his spiritual core, as if a sharp weapon was piercing his brain.
Shen Nong gritted his teeth and forced himself to ignore the pain.
Seeing that Shen Nong had no intention of stopping, the system even mobilized its remaining abilities, "Host, stop now!"
"Ze hasn't transformed yet. If we stop now, he won't be able to transform again."
After so long, Shen Nong also understood something about the orcs' transformation.
If the awakening is successful after reaching the age limit, the human form will have some characteristics of the animal form.
But if you fail, you will never be able to awaken and transform again.
This time, he can only succeed and cannot fail in his awakening. This is his only chance.
[It doesn't matter if I can't transform, I won't die anyway. 】
The system was extremely anxious. "But if you consume your energy again, your spirit core will explode and you will die again. If you die this time, you won't be able to come back to life."
Shen Nong looked at Ze and happened to meet Ze's gaze.
The endless worry in the other person's eyes can turn into reality, wrapping the person up and leaving him/her no chance to breathe.
"He won't let anything happen to me."
The system didn't understand Shen Nong's incoherent words.
Its mind is full of the host who always knew how to stop losses in time, but now his brain is broken and he doesn't want to live anymore.
Its host has ruined it!
Just as the system was about to mobilize the code to save Shen Nong and see if it could exploit the bug in the world's rules for the host, a golden light suddenly appeared under the platform.
The golden light grew bigger and bigger, resembling wings.
At the same time, it was getting closer and closer, and the system felt that its code was about to be blinded by the golden light.
Shen Nong felt a warmth in the golden light, which was slowly easing the severe pain in his spiritual core.
He was blinded by the light and covered his eyes with his hands, looking towards the golden light through a small gap.
It is a choice.
The golden light behind Ze's slender and powerful body gathered into the shape of huge wings, carrying Ze towards Shen Nong.
Shen Nong was embraced by huge wings and immersed in golden light.
wing..
The animal form chosen is a bird?
"Priest, does it still hurt?"
The sound of Ze came to his ears, and Shen Nong could not open his eyes due to the strong light. He only felt himself falling into a warm and strong embrace.
The brighter the light, the faster his supernatural powers will recover.
"What is your beast form?" Shen Nong raised his hand and touched Ze's face, "I can't see it."
"The priest wants to see it?"
Shen Nong nodded and said, "I do."
Ze gently rubbed Shen Nong's soft palm with his cheek, and said reluctantly: "Priest, open your eyes."
The author has something to say:
There is still one in the early morning, don’t wait, you can watch it tomorrow.
