vrcanaries Chapter 336 Atavism
Chapter 336 Atavism
When Ruan Mianmian and Sen returned to the cabin, the first thing she did was check on Sen's injuries.
Just now outside, Ruan Mianmian only gave him a simple adjustment of his bones. There were too many injured people in the tribe this time, so she couldn't examine his injuries carefully.
Sen lay motionless on the bed, letting the little female examine him, his heart filled with a feeling of happiness.
The thought that such a lovely girl was being coveted by those beastmen from the gorilla tribe made his pupils instantly turn into vertical pupils with anger.
"Relax!" Ruan Mianmian patted Sen's muscles, which were tense from anger, and Sen watched as the little female slowly softened.
After checking again and spraying a lot more medicine, Ruan Mianmian wiped her hands and indicated that everything was fine.
Orcs have a strong ability to recover. Even if they are in excruciating pain now, they will be lively and energetic tomorrow.
One reason is their powerful self-healing ability, and the other is that everything produced by the system is of the highest quality! The medicine's effects are simply miraculous!
"Ruan Ruan, you once told me about the miracle that can cause one to revert to their ancestral state, right?"
Ruan Mianmian was just about to lie down and rest when she heard Sen's words.
She sat up straight, raised an eyebrow at the orc in front of her, and said, "Yes, there is. Weren't we unsure before? Why are you suddenly asking?"
Upon hearing her words, Sen reached out and pulled the little female into his arms. He inhaled her fragrance and gazed out the window, saying, "Before, I didn't want to become so special. There haven't been any reverted orcs on the entire orc continent in nearly a hundred years. If I were to revert, I would definitely attract a lot of attention from the orcs. That would put you in danger."
Ruan Mianmian leaned against Sen's chest and whispered, "But your thoughts have changed now? Why?"
Sen hugged her tightly and said slowly, "During today's battle, I realized that my power is still not enough to protect you. If I successfully revert to my ancestral form, I will have even greater power. Then, no matter what kind of enemy I face, I will not be afraid."
Ruan Mianmian looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: "But the risk is also great, what if we fail?"
Sen gently stroked her hair: "With you here, I'm not afraid. Your miraculous drugs will definitely increase the success rate. And I believe we can overcome all difficulties."
Ruan Mianmian was deeply moved. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Alright then, since you've decided, let's give it a try. But we need to be fully prepared."
Sen nodded happily and gently kissed her forehead: "Thank you, Ruanruan. As long as you're with me, I'm not afraid of anything."
Ruan Mianmian hugged him back, and their hearts drew even closer.
Since you've made up your mind to revert to your ancestral ways, there can be absolutely no more hesitation or wavering.
Especially considering that those guys from the gorilla tribe don't know when they might launch another attack.
In their tribe, almost all the orcs capable of fighting are seriously injured, while the gorilla tribe has only deployed less than one-tenth of its orcs.
If the enemy were to launch another fierce attack, given the current situation, if Ruan Mianmian did not personally intervene, their fate would undoubtedly be utter defeat, and the entire clan would face a devastating crisis of slaughter.
Therefore, time was of the essence and there was no room for delay. Sen made a decisive decision: to carry out the ancestral return tonight!
Fortunately, the elixir necessary for reversion to one's ancestral form had already been carefully stored by Ruan Mianmian in her private space, making it extremely convenient to access whenever she wanted.
And so, without hesitation, Sen led Ruan Mianmian away from the valley and went to great lengths to find a quiet and peaceful place, where they prepared to officially begin this crucial attempt at ancestor atavism.
Ruan Mianmian took out the pill. The pill was perfectly round, with a faint glow on its surface, like a dazzling pearl, emitting an alluring fragrance and a mysterious aura.
Sen, standing to the side, stared intently at it, a resolute glint in his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.
After swallowing the pill, Sen immediately closed his eyes and focused all his energy on circulating the powerful force that had been dormant within his body. As time passed, the originally faint aura around him grew stronger and stronger, like a burning flame.
At the same time, a mysterious halo gradually appeared around his body, and this halo continued to strengthen and expand.
As the intensity of the halo increased, Sen suddenly let out a deep and awe-inspiring roar. This roar was like the howl of an ancient behemoth, inspiring fear in all who heard it.
Then, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—Sen's figure began to grow taller at a visible speed. Not only that, his entire body was covered with a layer of fine black scales, which were tightly connected and each one shimmered with a strange luster, appearing indestructible.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian stood aside, so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe. She clenched her fists tightly and stared at Sen, who was undergoing an astonishing change, without blinking.
But then, a sudden change occurred! Without warning, Sen collapsed to the ground in agony, his body trembling violently as if gripped by an invisible giant hand. A tremendous tearing force raged within him, threatening to rip him apart and reassemble him completely!
Seeing this sudden situation, Ruan Mianmian was immediately anxious, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.
Without a second thought, she quickly retrieved a Marrow Cleansing Pill from her spatial storage. Then, she strode over to Sen, knelt down, and without hesitation, stuffed the pill into Sen's mouth.
Sen exerted all his strength to swallow the Marrow Cleansing Pill. As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it turned into a scorching torrent that rushed down his throat and into his limbs and bones.
His body trembled uncontrollably, every inch of his skin burning with excruciating pain. Yet, despite the agony, Sen gritted his teeth and struggled to maintain a sliver of clarity.
Gradually, as the effects of the medicine spread throughout his body, Sen's body began to undergo astonishing changes.
His originally pale face turned blood red, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. At this moment, he looked like a blood-soaked figure, lying quietly on the ground.
Time ticked by, and Sen struggled to endure the excruciating agony. His muscles twitched and twisted, and his bones cracked as if they were about to break at any moment.
But just when Ruan Mianmian thought he was about to give up, Sen suddenly took a deep breath and used all his strength to stop trembling. At the same time, the mysterious halo surrounding him gradually dimmed until it disappeared completely.
At this point, Mori had finally survived this thrilling transformation journey.
As he slowly opened his eyes, two beams of light shot out from them. He leaped to his feet, stretched out his arms, and fully experienced the surging, inexhaustible power within him. This feeling was both strange and familiar, filling him with surprise and awe.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Sen hugged Ruan Mianmian tightly and spun her around happily like a child.
He was so excited that he was incoherent, repeatedly thanking Ruan Mianmian: "Thanks to you, Ruan Ruan! If it weren't for this miraculous pill you gave me, I really don't know how I would have been able to endure the immense pain brought about by this primal regression..."
Looking at the overjoyed Sen, Ruan Mianmian smiled gently and contentedly. She said softly, "It's so good that I was able to help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sen suddenly released his hands and gently placed Ruan Mianmian on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he muttered incantations, and a flash of light appeared on his body as he instantly transformed into human form.
In the blink of an eye, a majestic and enormous creature appeared beside Ruan Mianmian.
This colossal beast had a long, slender body covered in a layer of fine scales that shimmered with iridescent light. Its head resembled a dragon's head, but it had a pair of curved, sharp horns; a pair of broad wings sprouted from its back, which stirred up gusts of wind with each gentle flap.
Ruan Mianmian stared wide-eyed at the strange creature before her, which resembled a dragon but was not, and murmured to herself, "This... could this be the legendary Jiaolong?"
The dragon formed from the forest circled once in the air before letting out a long roar, a cry that, though not quite dragon-like, spread across the plains in concentric circles. Some low-ranking orcs immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, the powerful pressure making them want to hide in fear.
What kind of orc is this?! It let out such a huge roar!
After landing back on the ground, Sen transformed back into human form, his face beaming with pride. "Ruan Ruan, I have successfully reverted to my ancestral form. From now on, I will be able to better protect you and the tribe."
Ruan Mianmian's eyes curved into crescents as she reached out and touched Sen's face. "You're amazing."
