Chapter 295 What is Mian Tian's beast form?
As soon as the wooden barrel was made, it was welcomed by everyone, and several male orcs even carried the barrel to the river to fetch water.
However, this wooden barrel was carved out of a large wooden stake and was quite heavy. Female and young orcs could not lift it at all, and it was not very convenient to carry it back and forth.
Su Qianqian thought about it and decided that since there was a large wooden barrel for bathing and storing water, a small wooden barrel for collecting and carrying water should also be arranged.
However, a small wooden barrel cannot be made by simply planing out a thick wooden stump. Instead, it needs to be made of tree bark, and birch bark is best.
So, Su Qianqian took advantage of the lunch break and went to the mountain alone.
The forest resources in the Beast World Continent are vast and abundant, and birch trees grow everywhere.
After a while, she found a birch forest.
Birch bark is soft, grows in sheets, is easy to process, and is waterproof, making it ideal for making small barrels.
She chose a birch tree with a tall, straight trunk and smooth, knotless bark, and then took out the dagger that could cut through iron like mud.
Just as she was about to cut it, a yellow-spotted snake about two inches thick suddenly jumped out from the bushes and bit towards the back of her hand with its bloody mouth wide open.
Su Qianqian was caught off guard and abruptly withdrew her hand. Just as she was about to strike back with the dagger, a ball of dark blue flame suddenly flew over.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire yellow fine-striped snake was covered by the dark blue flame and burned to black ash, and even the white birch tree in front of it was burned to ashes.
Su Qianqian took two steps back, helplessly casting her gaze towards the direction where the flames were coming from, and said, "Xiao Mian, next time you show up, could you please make some noise and not be so scary all the time?"
She was not frightened by the poisonous snake that suddenly jumped out, but was frightened by the sudden fire.
Mian Tian: “…Yeah, okay.”
He responded lightly, then retracted the blue flame wrapped between his fingers and strode over.
As if afraid that Su Qianqian would ask why he followed her, he said in advance: "Well... Shi Yuan was worried that it would be dangerous for you to go up the mountain alone, so he asked me to come find you."
Su Qianqian: "..."
She didn't believe it.
Her strength has been recognized by Shi Yuan and others. If we talk about danger, you, who casually kills fifth-level beasts, are more dangerous...
However, Su Qianqian didn't expose this flawed lie. She found another birch tree and was about to chop it down when she suddenly became hesitant and turned to Mian Tian and warned him, "Don't set fires here anymore. There are only trees here. It's not a good idea to burn the mountain down."
Mian Tian: “…Yeah.”
Seeing that he responded obediently, Su Qianqian felt at ease and pointed the tip of the dagger at the thickest part of the birch bark. She first cut a hole from top to bottom, then cut the top horizontally with the knife, went around the tree, and then cut the bottom horizontally again. In this way, a piece of birch bark was peeled off completely.
Mian Tian looked at her neat and skillful movements, his eyebrows slightly raised, and asked casually, "What is this thing used for?"
"Of course, they're used to make handicrafts." Su Qianqian answered without looking up. "Birch bark products are light, not afraid of bumps, and easy to carry. They can be used to make many things, such as birch bark buckets, birch bark boxes, birch bark boxes, and birch bark baskets..."
Mian Tian had never heard of anything she said.
His eyes lightly swept over Su Qianqian's hands holding the dagger. In the sunlight, her skin was as white as snow, her fingers were slender without a single callus, and her onion-like fingers were covered with light pink nails. It was impossible to tell that these were a pair of hands for doing odd jobs.
"Um... I heard from Shi Yuan that you are from the northern civet cat tribe. Are your family members still around?" Mian Tian asked again casually, but his eyes swept over Su Qianqian's head calmly.
He can't see.
Su Qianqian's true beast form is completely invisible.
Although female orcs cannot change back into their beast form after birth, orcs who have cultivated to a certain level can see the other party's original beast form hidden under the human form.
But he couldn't see any trace of her original beast form from Su Qianqian.
At this moment, Su Qianqian also heard the temptation in Mian Tian's words.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, then turned to look at Mian Tian with a smile, and asked instead of answering, "Come to think of it, Mian Tian, I haven't seen your beast form yet. What does it look like? Can you show it to me?"
Mian Tian choked, turned his head away immediately, and said dryly: "...You won't like it."
"How could that be?" Su Qianqian deliberately asked, "You know the mayor of Wanshou City, right? He seems to be from the Wushe clan. I saw him last time in Wanshou City. He had a body covered in dark blue scales and looked very powerful. I quite liked him."
"You... like it?" Mian Tian's usually calm black eyes brightened noticeably.
Su Qianqian nodded with a smile: "Of course."
Even as she spoke, she quickly opened the storage space of the plane system and pointed at the snake skin in the first grid. She thought to herself, "System, check it for me. Is this snake skin from the Wu Snake Clan?"
After a while, the system's crisp mechanical sound rang in my mind:
[Ding—After testing, this snake skin does not belong to the Wushe beast tribe of the Beast World Continent.]
Not a vulture?!
Su Qianqian was stunned when she heard this. Could it be that her suspicion was wrong?
She couldn't help but look at Mian Tian opposite her again.
In fact, she had never doubted Mian Tian before he revealed his true strength.
But ever since Mian Tian easily killed a fifth-level beast, although she didn't show anything on her face, the seeds of doubt had actually been planted in her heart.
After this period of contact and interaction, she occasionally caught a glimpse of the scarlet light flashing in Mian Tian's black eyes, and felt inexplicably strange and familiar, which always made her involuntarily think of the pair of blood-red beast eyes she had seen in Wanshou City.
Could the two be the same person?
She had doubted this too.
But the Mian Tian in front of him looked like a teenager about the same age as a mountain cat, while the Lord of Wanshou City might be an old monster who had lived for a long time. Could these two completely different people really be the same person...
But at this moment, the test results given by the system made her uncertain about this guess again.
"System, why don't you test it again? Is this snake skin really not from the Wushe clan?" Su Qianqian asked again without giving up.
This time the system gave a more detailed answer:
[Ding—To be precise, this shed skin is no longer considered snake-like. The system's genetic database doesn't have any relevant records of the specific beast family. Verification requires a large amount of material and time...]
