Chapter 380 Hunting Reveals Serpent Form
Ruan Mianmian looked at her people with a smile on her face and shouted loudly, "Everyone must be tired from the long journey. Let's eat something to replenish our strength first, and then we'll start the hunt. We must have a great hunt today and return with a full load!"
Upon hearing her words, the orcs cheered and jumped for joy, instantly creating a lively and exciting atmosphere.
With a wave of her arm, Ruan Mianmian flung two large, furry Moo Moo beasts onto the open ground.
The tribespeople stepped forward one after another, skillfully starting a fire and setting up a grill to prepare delicious roasted meat.
Ruan Mianmian quickly packed up the tent and then found an open space to wash up carefully.
After everything was tidied up, Ruan Mianmian leisurely found a clean, flat rock and sat down.
She took out two porcelain bottles from her system space and poured out two crystal-clear Beast Spirit Pills. These Beast Spirit Pills emitted a faint, pleasant fragrance that was refreshing and invigorating.
Without hesitation, Ruan Mianmian put them in her mouth, chewed them gently, and swallowed them. To her, these Beast Spirit Pills were as important as vitamins she took every day.
In later generations, women would take all sorts of vitamins and other nutritional supplements to nourish their bodies during pregnancy. Now that she was in another world, she knew that the two little ones in her womb also needed a sufficient supply of energy to grow up healthily.
Therefore, she insisted on taking the Beast Spirit Pill every day to provide a continuous source of nutrition for her unborn children.
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Mianmian took out a smooth and round Peiyuan Pill, put it in her mouth and swallowed it.
This Peiyuan Pill is a precious medicine with the effect of strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy, effectively enhancing one's strength and endurance.
Today, she is about to face a large-scale hunting event, which will inevitably involve many fierce battles. Therefore, Ruan Mianmian deliberately took an extra Peiyuan Pill to solidify her foundation, hoping to have a strong physique to cope with various challenges.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian subconsciously patted her slightly protruding but not particularly noticeable belly and said softly, "My little ones, you have to be good today. Mommy is leading the tribe into the forest to hunt, so you two mustn't be naughty in my belly!"
After she finished speaking, a smile played on her lips, her gaze gentle and tender, as if she could already see the healthy and adorable babies of the future.
Suddenly, Ruan Mianmian felt a churning in her stomach; the two eggs clearly gave her a reaction.
The barbecue was almost cooked, and Sen used a knife to cut several of the tenderest parts for Ruan Mianmian, then wrapped them in leaves and brought them to her.
Since becoming pregnant, the little female's appetite has increased significantly; she can now eat a large piece of meat by herself.
Ruan Mianmian slowly finished eating the beast meat, and by then the beastmen had also finished sharing the two roasted meats.
After cleaning up the area, Ruan Mianmian led her people to the place where they had found their prey the day before.
A group of orcs cautiously entered the area inhabited by iguanas. Ruan Mianmian first had the orcs skilled in ranged attacks use their special abilities to distract the iguanas, and then sent strong orcs to launch a surprise attack from the side.
The battle began, and dust flew everywhere, with shouts of battle deafening.
Although the iguanas were ferocious, under Ruan Mianmian's skillful command, the beastmen gradually gained the upper hand.
As the battle continued, the iguana began a frenzied counterattack.
A huge iguana broke through the defense and charged towards Ruan Mianmian. Sen saw this and hurriedly stood in front of Ruan Mianmian to block her.
Sen instantly transformed into his beast form, tall and imposing, facing off directly against the ferocious and terrifying lizard-like beast. Both radiated intense hostility and killing intent, and a fierce battle was about to erupt.
Just then, the iguana suddenly opened its blood-red maw, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly, and bit down hard on Sen with lightning speed.
However, at this critical moment, Ruan Mianmian, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly felt a surge of panic.
She didn't know what had happened, but she suddenly felt her legs become incredibly hot.
Then, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—a gigantic tail suddenly lashed out from behind Ruan Mianmian, striking the iguana beast with lightning speed and power.
A scream rang out, and the once-aggressive iguana was suddenly flung away by the giant tail, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, Sen pounced without hesitation, opening his sharp teeth and accurately biting the iguana's throat.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the iguana beast, severely injured, struggled and writhed in pain.
After successfully killing his formidable enemy, Sen quickly turned around, ready to meet Ruan Mianmian's delighted gaze. But when he saw the scene before him, he froze, his eyes widening in disbelief.
It turned out that at this moment, Ruan Mianmian's lower body had undergone an astonishing change. Her originally long and straight legs had disappeared, replaced by a thick and winding snake tail.
The snake's tail was covered with a layer of fine scales that shimmered with an eerie light, making it look both mysterious and terrifying.
Sen could hardly believe his eyes. He stared blankly at Ruan Mianmian, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
Ruan Mianmian herself was equally terrified. She looked down at the unfamiliar snake tail beneath her, her mind blank, completely at a loss.
The tribespeople who were busy around them stopped what they were doing, their mouths agape, staring blankly at this incredible scene as if they had been petrified.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.
After a long while, Ruan Mianmian finally came to her senses as if waking from a dream. Her voice trembled as she murmured, "System, what...what happened to me? Why has my body become like this? I'm just an ordinary human being!"
After saying that, her tears began to roll down uncontrollably, sliding down her cheeks.
"Host, as I told you before, if you have an Embrace with a reverted beastman, you will acquire their beast form. Since Sen was previously a anaconda, you are currently experiencing a stress response due to the intense stimulation, and suddenly a snake tail has grown out," the system explained in detail.
Upon hearing the system's voice, Ruan Mianmian slapped her forehead, only then remembering that the system had indeed mentioned this matter before. She blamed herself for being so careless that she had completely forgotten about it.
"Oh dear, does this mean I'll have to live like this, half snake and half human, from now on?" Ruan Mianmian asked in a terrified expression.
"Don't worry, it's not like that! You just need to carefully recall the original shape of your legs in your mind, and then you will be restored to your original state. Moreover, you will be able to freely change your shape at will in the future!" the system patiently explained.
After hearing these words, Ruan Mianmian felt relieved and quickly followed the instructions given by the system.
She closed her eyes and silently imagined her legs. Sure enough, not long after, she noticed a strange change in her body—the snake tail that had been coiled beneath her was gradually shrinking and shortening until it disappeared completely; in its place, a pair of fair and delicate legs were revealed again.
"Ruan Ruan, what... what's wrong with you?" Sen rushed over like lightning, his eyes fixed on the petite and adorable female in front of him.
Although she had successfully returned to her original form, the strange sight of her human body and snake tail still shocked him so much that he stammered.
Seeing the surprised looks on Sen and the others' faces, Ruan Mianmian said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Everyone, let's hunt first, and we'll talk about it when we get back to the tribe!"
Upon hearing this, the other orcs immediately snapped out of their daze and fought bravely. Soon, the lizard herd was overwhelmed and scattered in all directions.
But how could the beastmen let them escape? They chased after them bravely and eventually killed all the iguanas.
Ruan Mianmian collected all the iguanas into her own space, and then led them into the forest to search for other prey.
In one day, they not only captured a herd of iguanas, but also a group of gazelles and road beasts. These beasts were not found on the plains; their meat was not only tender, but they were also enormous, more than enough for their tribe to eat.
As the sun began to set, Ruan Mianmian led her people to an open space to set up camp. Although they had caught quite a bit of prey that day, who could complain about having too much food?
Everyone's planning to pull off another big heist tomorrow, and then head back to the tribe.
Anyway, their leader has performed miracles, so they're not worried about not being able to carry all the prey back!
