GBP Chapter 157 Mutation
Chapter 157 Mutation
Ruan Xiyue ignored Li Miao's curiosity and went to take a hot bath.
Time passed quickly during meals and rest, and evening arrived.
As the dappled sunlight faded from the horizon, Ruan Xiyue said to Qin Ye and the others beside her, "Come on, take me to the stream closest to the tribe."
So, after walking for less than thirty minutes, they came to a place where the grass was lush and the birds were singing. The stream beside it was very narrow, and they could cross it in three steps.
Ruan Xiyue took out a talent enhancement pill and said to Qin Ye, "Eating this might hurt a lot. But it will be good for your future advancement."
Without saying a word, Qin Ye took the pill and put it in his mouth.
Seeing that Qin Ye didn't react, Ruan Xiyue said to Jiu Chen and Cong Xian, "You two eat one by one. Otherwise, I'm worried..."
Ruan Xiyue's words were still echoing in the air when Qin Ye suddenly bent over in pain, as if he had been gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.
Immediately afterward, his knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground, his hands instinctively gripping the grass tightly until his knuckles turned white. A low, muffled groan escaped his throat, a sound filled with pain and suppressed suffering.
In an instant, his face began to contort, and fine, beast-like fur began to grow from around his eyes at a visible speed. The veins on Qin Ye's arms bulged, like angry little snakes, and his hands dug deep into the soil, his fingertips almost sinking into the earth.
"Ah Ye..." Upon seeing this, Ruan Xiyue subconsciously took a step forward, her voice full of worry.
Qin Ye suddenly turned his head, and most of his face had turned into a beast. His originally clear eyes were now filled with ferocity and wildness. His gaze was like that of a hungry beast, as if he could pounce on Ruan Xiyue at any moment and tear her to pieces, which frightened Ruan Xiyue so much that she froze.
In the nick of time, Jiu Chen swiftly reached out and pulled Ruan Xiyue behind him, ready for anything. Cong Xian was also on edge, his muscles taut, prepared to respond to any unexpected situation.
Qin Ye hurriedly turned his head back and gripped the turf tightly again, his two front paws almost completely buried in the ground.
Ruan Xiyue clearly heard a "crackling" sound coming from Qin Ye's body. It was the sound of bones twisting and dislocating, as if a terrifying and powerful force was desperately squeezing out from the depths of Qin Ye's bone marrow, trying to tear his body apart.
Ruan Xiyue frowned, her heart filled with worry.
If Qin Ye is already in so much pain, what kind of situation will Long Ze face?
She felt both heartache for Qin Ye's suffering and worry for Long Ze's safety; her heart was in turmoil.
As time went on, blood began to seep from Qin Ye's skin; it was a dark red, nauseating blood.
The air was filled with a stench of sweat, decay, and blood, so strong it made one want to vomit.
Ruan Xiyue frowned, anxiously asking Duoduo in her mind: "Didn't you say the pain was similar to childbirth? But this seems to far exceed that!"
[Duoduo is just a system; it can only estimate the level of pain, host. But don't worry, he won't be in any danger...] Duoduo's voice echoed in his mind.
Ruan Xiyue was speechless. Is the bottom line all that matters, like ensuring you won't starve?
Qin Ye's agonizing transformation lasted for more than three hours. Li Miao secretly followed behind; he was always the kind of orc who would do what he was told not to do.
Li Miao was puzzled. Ruan Xiyue seemed to treat her beastly husband quite well, so why was she so perverted in private?
After Qin Ye's bones and bloodline were cleansed and purified, he hurriedly took out the beast core. This was because his body had reached a state of extreme energy hunger.
It was as if he had just gone through a major battle, and his body was completely drained of energy.
As a result, after Qin Ye completed his transformation, his ability level rose directly from gray to red. Ruan Xiyue wasn't sure if it was just her eyes, but she felt that Qin Ye's beast form looked a little different.
Seeing Qin Ye's transformation filled Xian with immense excitement! He knew this medicine was a valuable thing! As long as he could pull through!
Cong Xian quickly stepped forward and walked up to Ruan Xiyue.
Ruan Xiyue also fed a talent enhancement pill to Cong Xian.
It's unclear whether Cong Xian's aptitude was higher than Qin Ye's, or whether Qin Ye's aptitude was high in the past but ultimately damaged his foundation after saving someone. Qin Ye took more than three hours to finish cleansing, while Cong Xian removed all the blood and filth from his body in less than three hours.
Everyone then understood why Ruan Xiyue insisted on choosing a spot by a stream.
To make it easier for everyone, we want to clean off the blood and grime that has seeped out of their bodies, as well as the black, smelly mud and dirt!
When it was Jiu Chen's turn, Qin Ye and Cong Xian both felt that Jiu Chen, who was so young, could reach the Brown Rank, must have had exceptional talent and aptitude, and would not have suffered as much as they had.
Unexpectedly, the transformation of Jiu Chen's bloodline was the most dangerous!
As Jiu Chen knelt on the grass and his body began to gradually transform into a beast, bluish-white flames ignited on his body.
Qin Ye and Cong Xian both frowned, and Ruan Xiyue was also unsure of what was going on.
【DuoDuo! What's going on? Why is my beast husband on fire? Don't keep trying to fool me with the excuse that he won't die, or I'll ignore you!】
[Duoduo is also investigating. Host, the Nine-Star Beast Husband may be undergoing a mutation. If his bloodline talent can sustain it, he himself can evolve into a primordial bloodline!]
[Will this atavistic bloodline reward me with 100,000 points? I've spent so many points on them; the points I got from the cub Xian made me pregnant aren't even enough for one of his pills!]
[Host... Even if your Nine-Star Beast Husband evolves into a reverted ancestral bloodline, you won't gain any points. You can only gain points by giving birth to cubs with a reverted ancestral bloodline.]
[Every time I increase my bloodline purity, I'm supposed to suffer like this, right? But by giving birth to cubs, I'm spared a lot of suffering, isn't that right, Duoduo?]
[This is roughly how it works for the host; the discomfort they experience during childbirth is the same discomfort they experience during the removal of their bloodline. However, the host's bloodline potential is better than theirs. Therefore, the host doesn't experience as much pain.]
Just as Ruan Xiyue and Duoduo were chatting, Jiu Chen suddenly turned around and charged towards Cong Xian and Qin Ye.
Cong Xian and Qin Ye immediately transformed into beast forms to defend themselves. They were not afraid of getting hurt, but rather that Jiu Chen would injure Ruan Xi Yue.
Unexpectedly, the more Qin Ye and Cong Xian tried to protect Ruan Xiyue, the more Jiu Chen wanted to defeat them and rushed towards Ruan Xiyue.
Jiu Chen injured Qin Ye with a slap, then took the opportunity to transform into a kitten, darted past Cong Xian's defenses, and rushed directly in front of Ruan Xiyue.
His suddenly enlarged cat-like body pressed Ruan Xiyue down onto the grass, his breath, thick with the smell of blood, spraying onto Ruan Xiyue's ear.
Qin Ye and Cong Xian dared not move, fearing that Jiu Chen might hurt Ruan Xiyue because he was wary of their movements.
