Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 89: The Beast Mark Returns

    

, then sank back into the darkness. In the blink of an eye, it vanished once more.The man steadied himself, then turned and left immediately. He was going to take this good news back to the organizati...The severely injured Doe took the opportunity to flee the lion tribe's territory. Two years later, after healing her wounds, she returned with the same band of rogue humanoids who had benefited from her last attack, and once again assaulted the lion tribe's settlement.

This time, thanks to Yan Jia's design, they failed and suffered heavy casualties, while this time, both sides could be said to have perished together.

Sang Jian discovered a rusty sword, which pierced the seven-inch spot of the lone beast. When the lone beast knew it was about to die, it directly bit Sang's arm holding the sword, injecting all the venom from its venom sac into Sang's body.

Though the lion pride's crisis has been averted, Yan Jia still lost her mate. She cried swollen eyes and, as the next harsh winter approaches, found another male beastman companion.

Moreover, this male orc wasn't from the lion clan but the tiger clan. He left with their cubs fathered by Sang and went straight to the tiger clan.

After that, it became Yan Jia's domain. She gathered around her the most skilled beastmen from various tribes. These beastmen obeyed her every command, all for the sake of obtaining more new food, methods to safely pass through the harsh winter, easy-to-use traps for hunting prey, and ultimately, they even established a tribe that revered her as their leader.

The subsequent plot ends here. In Ripple's view, this is a story of a female lead who travels through time and opens up harems on the beastman continent. Moreover, this female lead takes advantage of her own strengths to cleverly seize what doesn't belong to her and makes no contribution to the development of the entire Beast World continent.

The original body's desire is to expose Yan Jia's true face. She doesn't want to form a bond with Sang Jie, nor does she want to meet Du again. She doesn't want to become a tool for bearing offspring. She wants to live well. If possible, she wants to return to being a male beastman and control her own destiny.

The stone mill said that the ripples needed to complete their mission.

Ripple's spirited eyes blinked, then she touched the fur skirt on her body and said thoughtfully:

The first few requests aren't too difficult, I'll try my best to accomplish them. As for the last one, about returning to being a male beastman, is it still possible

"You've worked hard."

The millstone didn't know what to say, so it just shut up.

Ripple rolled her eyes. This communicator was useless besides assigning tasks.

The original body was both frightened and shocked. Coupled with being entangled with the black leopard for so long, his body was already exhausted from fatigue.

So Lianyi didn't force herself. She simply used the water dripping into the hollow to wipe away the bloodstains on her body, then from a small tube carved on a piece of wood, poured out some white powder and sprinkled it on her wounds, treating them as best she could. She changed into a new deerskin skirt.

Then she wrapped a piece of hide over the opening to the giant tree's hollow, and from the bundle of hides, she pulled out a dry, flat thing that resembled a biscuit, which she ate to fill her belly.

Then the ripples tipped everything out of the animal hide, and she crawled inside herself. She made the large animal hide into a sleeping bag, keeping one ear out to watch for anything outside. And so she rested, tired as she was.

Fortunately, the tree hollow where the ripples settled had the scent of previous inhabitants, so she safely spent a night there.

After a good night's sleep, Lian Yi stretched lazily and crawled out of her simple sleeping bag. She decided to stay in this forest for a while before making her way to witness Sang and Yan Jia's bond ceremony at the appointed time. She would strike when Yan Jia was at her most triumphant, giving her a harsh blow.

But the premise was that she had to survive in this primordial forest. As a reward for the mission, superhuman strength had already merged with her body. Next, she was going to investigate the surrounding situation.

A quarter of an hour later, the ripples reached the edge of the stream. It was called a stream, but it was about ten meters wide, and there were already some small birds and beasts drinking water by the stream.

Before the ripples could reach them, these small creatures fled in fright. She sighed helplessly and, with her bone knife in hand, swiftly dismembered the black panther. She then rinsed herself quickly, starting to wash the bloodstains from her animal skin skirt.

Suddenly, she stopped rubbing and looked at her reflection in the stream. She raised her hand to touch a mark on her forehead.

If she remembered correctly, this was the beastmark the original owner had since birth, representing her as a neutral shapeshifter. She could choose to become a male or female shapeshifter. The original owner had already made a choice and had this beastmark erased during a shaman's ritual. Now, how did it appear again

Could it be giving her a second chance, letting her choose But Lianyi was very clear, she was now female, that is, a woman's body.

"Stone mill, what's going on"

"Zzzzt zzzzt"

"If you keep giving me bad signals, I'll definitely report you this time when I go back!"

The ripple noodles spoke without emotion.

"Ahem, I just checked the files. It's probably because you merged with your original body and reactivated that beast totem."

"Do you mean I could choose to become a male beastman again"

"No! Your body has already been fully transformed into a female. You can't revert back to male. However, because of your innate divine power and your strong soul, the beastly totem pattern has reappeared. It should grant you new powers. As for what those powers are, only you can discover them."

Then the millstone fell silent again.

Ripple thought this was a good thing and immediately stood up, preparing to return to her tree hollow to study her new skill. But as she looked up, she saw a pair of vertical pupils staring at her, their eyes filled with lust.

The ripples retreated, revealing the creature in full. It was a black giant serpent, fifty meters long, its forked tongue flickering as it slithered from the other side of the creek towards her.

If she wasn't mistaken, this black giant serpent should be the one owned by the wandering beastman.

Lan Ri threw away the half-washed beast skin skirt in her hands, clutching the bone knife. She didn't run or hide, but instead charged towards the black giant serpent that had slithered over. In Lan Ri's ancestor's eyes, this was a wise monster.

With the aid of a protruding stone by the creek, Ripples leaped, landing directly on top of her opponent's head. The bone knife in her hand plunged down viciously. Thanks to the protection of scales, Ripples' bone knife pierced through the gaps between them. This strike was both forceful and precise, employing all her strength. It caused Duo immense pain, causing him to wildly shake his head, trying to dislodge Ripples.

Ripple clenched a bone knife in one hand, burying it into the black snake's skull to keep herself from falling. Her other hand balled into a fist, launching a series of brutal blows against the creature's head.

The sound of "bang bang bang" echoed rhythmically, neither rushed nor halting. For a full fifteen minutes, the black snake lay limp in the creek like its bones had been extracted.

The ripples didn't dare to be careless, the snake was the most insidious and venomous. She punched the opponent's skull again, then pulled out the bone knife that had been stabbed in. The bone knife broke into two pieces, and the black snake fainted completely.n't know how to comfort him for a moment."Second Brother""Shixuan, come with me to catch someone."Wen Shige calmly turned and left the interrogation room."Second brother, wait for me."When the two bro...
