The members of the Mu tribe also looked at the priest on the high platform.
In the past, it was quite remarkable if one or two orcs in the tribe could successfully awaken during each awakening.
The priest who awakened the most orcs in a single instance was the Salt Priest, who was said to be able to awaken five orcs in the tribe each time.
They stared in astonishment at the sight before them: their priest... their priest had caused all the orcs participating in the awakening ceremony to show signs of awakening!
Shen Nong felt her energy gradually depleting, and a faint pain throbbed in her spiritual core.
"System, how much longer?"
The system checked the orc's threshold and replied, "Host, hold on a little longer, you're almost at the critical point."
"ah!"
Below the platform, cries of agony rose and fell from the bones of those undergoing their first transformation. A white cat, a meter long, thrashed about in the square after enduring the pain.
Catgrass had never felt so powerful or so light.
He leaped in front of a tiger cub about his size, pressed his paw against its nose, and the moment his paw touched the wet tip of its nose, the tiger cub swung its paw away.
"Tiger Mountain, let's see who's bigger!"
Tiger Mountain could not contain his joy; successfully awakening and transforming into human form was something he had always dreamed of.
Now that his wish had been fulfilled, his youthful spirit compelled him to exclaim, "I'm definitely older than you!"
Just as the two were arguing fiercely about who was bigger, even kicking each other with their hind legs while huddled together, Rabbit Flower looked down at the two wrestling.
"I am the greatest!"
In contrast to the lively atmosphere below the stage, Shen Nong's condition was deteriorating.
The pain from his core intensified, and Shen Nong's lower lip was bitten until it bled.
The system detected that Shen Nong's body could no longer hold on and hurriedly reminded her, "Host, you can stop now!"
Upon hearing the system's voice, Shen Nong focused her mind and looked down at the audience.
At this moment, many orc warriors had awakened below the stage, and each of them had successfully transformed into human form.
Just as Shen Nong was about to withdraw her powers, she noticed that there was still one person in the "beast horde" who had not yet taken human form.
A sharp pain shot through his core, as if a sharp instrument had pierced his brain.
Shen Nong gritted her teeth, forcing herself to ignore the pain.
Seeing that Shen Nong had no intention of stopping, and had even mobilized her remaining supernatural abilities, the system shouted, "Host, stop now!"
“Ze hasn’t taken human form yet. If we stop now, he’ll never be able to take human form again.”
After so long, Shen Nong has gained some understanding of the matter of beastmen transforming into human form.
If one awakens beyond a certain age and succeeds, their human form will retain some characteristics of their animal form.
But if they fail, they will never be able to awaken and take human form again.
This awakening is a one-time opportunity; he can only succeed, not fail.
[It doesn't matter if I can't transform; I won't die anyway.]
The system was extremely anxious. "But if you consume any more of your power, it will cause your spirit core to self-destruct, resulting in your death again. If you die this time, you won't be able to come back to life."
Shen Nong looked at Ze, and their eyes met.
The endless worry in the other person's eyes could materialize, enveloping the person and making it impossible to breathe.
"He won't let anything happen to me."
The system couldn't understand Shen Nong's seemingly random and incoherent statement.
Its mind is filled with thoughts of its host, who always knew how to cut its losses in time. It's lost its mind and doesn't want to live anymore.
Its host has let it languish!
Just as the system was preparing to use its code to see if it could exploit a bug in the world's laws to save Shen Nong, a golden light suddenly appeared below the platform.
The golden light grew larger and larger, resembling wings.
As it drew closer, the system felt its code was about to be blinded by the golden light.
Shen Nong felt a warmth within the golden light, which slowly eased the intense pain in his spiritual core.
He shielded his eyes with his hand from the light, peering through a small gap at the golden light.
It is a choice.
Behind Ze, a tall and powerful figure, golden light converged into the shape of enormous wings, carrying Ze towards Shen Nong.
Shen Nong was embraced by enormous wings and immersed in a golden light.
wing..
Is the chosen animal form a bird?
"Priest, does it still hurt?"
She heard Ze's voice in her ear. The bright light made it hard for Shen Nong to open her eyes. She only felt herself falling into a warm and strong embrace.
The brighter the light, the faster his powers recover.
"What is your beast form?" Shen Nong raised her hand to touch Ze's face. "I can't see it."
"The priest wants to see?"
Shen Nong nodded and said, "I want to."
Ze gently rubbed his cheek against Shen Nong's soft palm, and said with some reluctance, "Priest, open your eyes."
A note from the author:
There will be more in the early morning, don't wait, you can watch it tomorrow.
Chapter 25 Divine Beast Warriors
So soft
Shen Nong dared not open her eyes; the light was even more dazzling than the sun.
He doesn't have the superpower to see bright light.
"I'm not that eager to see it right now," Shen Nong said, trying to justify herself. "I just want to know that you've successfully transformed into human form."
Ze looked down at the priest, who had almost recovered, and said softly, "Mm."
The wings formed from the golden light shattered and scattered. Shen Nong realized that the person holding him had disappeared. He suddenly opened his eyes, but there was nothing in front of him.
"select!"
A furry touch came from her leg, and Shen Nong lowered her head to resist the itch.
It was a young leopard with fluffy, all-black fur and a body length of no more than half a meter.
Although it was described as a leopard cub, it differed from ordinary black leopards in that its fur was longer and it had a pair of golden eyes.
There are golden diamond-shaped hairs on its forehead, and in addition, there are a few golden hairs on its limbs and sides of its back, which look somewhat like spells.
Very mysterious.
Shen Nong didn't study it carefully, since she couldn't understand it anyway.
His mind was full of furry things...
Shen Nong crouched down, staring at the cute, furry leopard cub, and finally couldn't resist, picking the little leopard up in her arms.
After rubbing my face, I rubbed my head, and after rubbing my head, I rubbed my belly.
The little leopard cub couldn't resist. It grabbed Shen Nong's arm with its tiny paws, its soft paw pads covering Shen Nong's skin.
The fluffy little head took the opportunity to rub against Shen Nong's hand twice, pleading, "Priest, please stop touching me."
Shen Nong felt the texture of the fur and exclaimed, "So soft! I want to touch it again..."
"Ze, your beast form is a black panther? Then what about those wings just now?"
Shen Nong was certain she hadn't misread it; Ze really did have wings.
The beast-shaped tail wrapped around Shen Nong's restless hand. Shen Nong's wrist was bound by the fine, furry tail. After gently tugging at it, she found that she couldn't pull it off, so she gave up.
I thought to myself, "This little tail is pretty cool..."
Ze didn't know what his beast form was, and didn't know how to answer Shen Nong, so he simply replied, "Priest, would you like to see the wings?"
"It really has wings? Let me see."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Nong saw the golden runes on both sides of Ze's back transform into a pair of small wings.
The golden light was faint, not as dazzling as before.
Shen Nong was captivated by the sight; the little wings were dreamlike and beautiful.
"Divine Beast Warriors!"
Leopard Autumn, leaning on his cane, stared at the platform and exclaimed in disbelief, "It's a divine beast warrior! It's a divine beast warrior!"
The Mu tribe members were also blinded by the intense golden light, and after the light faded, the whole place fell silent.
At this moment, Bao Qiu's voice suddenly rang out, making sure everyone heard it.
"Divine Beast Warriors? Our tribe has Divine Beast Warriors?" After a moment of stunned silence, the Wood Tribe members finally understood Leopard Autumn's words. They stared at the high platform and asked in confusion, "Where are the Divine Beast Warriors?"
"Definitely! That light was so bright, brighter than the sun, I couldn't even open my eyes!"
"Yes! We all saw it."
"The priest awakened a divine beast warrior?"
The people below the platform awaited Shen Nong's answer. Shen Nong raised an eyebrow and looked suspiciously at the little leopard clinging tightly to her arm.
"System, what's going on with the Divine Beast Warriors?"
The system had already sifted through the database, waiting for this fearless ancestor to ask, "Divine Beast Warriors are the highest-level orc warriors. There is a legend on this continent that when the Beast God created the world, the priests possessed divine power. Orc warriors who awakened through divine power were surrounded by golden light and were omnipotent; these are the Divine Beast Warriors."
As time passed, the number of priests possessing divine power dwindled until they disappeared completely. Divine Beast Warriors could no longer be born through awakening; they could only rise through the ranks as orcs.
