CHAPTER 698: 【692】BEAST WORLD FARMING 2 (FIRST UPDATE)
Tangyuan felt as though she had a dream, a very long dream. The content of the dream was fantastical and magical. Then, she woke up freezing. It was indeed freezing that woke her, too cold, and her body felt especially prickly, itchy, and uncomfortable, with a weird smell too.
She furrowed her brows and opened her eyelids to look, thinking she had seen incorrectly. But the sight that met her eyes made her pupils explode while simultaneously leaving her unable to make a sound. Wuu wuuu, had she committed some sin to have such a bizarre dream?
Had the giant creatures of the dream’s world become a big gift from the heavens to her?
A giant python. She was actually surrounded by a giant python. The trembling Tangyuan hated that she couldn’t just slap herself unconscious.
The giant snake seemed to be asleep. She didn’t dare touch it and stood up to look outside, relieved to see no sign of the dense mass of little snakes she had seen earlier.
Attempting to step out of the python’s encirclement, she realized she was dreaming foolishly. It was so large, so thick, that her little short legs could not step over it.
As she anxiously looked around in circles, clutching at the hay, that fine black-edged scale suddenly moved. Then, the giant python lifted its head, staring at her intently, its large eyes unblinking. In an instant, she felt frozen solid, shivering so badly she didn’t dare make the slightest movement. Her expression accepted death, yet it was filled with despair.
She didn’t know what species the snake before her belonged to, but she saw its poison fangs. Since it had poison fangs, there was no doubt it was a poisonous python.
Pan Lin had originally wanted to see what the little female was trying to do, but instead saw her scared so badly she was shaking all over. In a flash of green, beneath her incredulous gaze, after the olive green light, there he stood in front of her in his half-beast form, having transformed from his human-snake figure.
Tangyuan stared, dumbfounded, at the guy who had suddenly transformed in front of her. Although he closely resembled the ancient beastmen of her dream, wasn’t this man a bit too handsome?
His overall appearance bore a soft beauty, with green eyes and hair, his face to his neck adorned with black patterns, which added a wild charm, his upper body bare, developed muscles like the chest and biceps, all well-defined and sturdy. Although he wasn’t as terrifying as before, wasn’t this dream a little too real?
Was this a dream within a dream she was having?
"Don’t be scared. I won’t harm you, Little Weasel!"
Little Weasel?
Tangyuan swallowed hard, not to mention why she could understand this monster’s language, but the way he addressed her was just like how beastmen would call someone in that dream of the Beast World Continent. Could it be that she wasn’t dreaming but had actually transmigrated into the Beast World?
She instinctively checked herself out, imagining him calling her "Little Weasel" that evening, and then in the next second, her eyes widened as she witnessed her own transformation process.
In the blink of an eye, her once slender beautiful legs had now turned into short ones. She extended her palm— it was furry, and it even had pads? Touching her ears next, they were triangular and trembling violently. Looking back at her tail, it was fluffy and soft, a chestnut black color, with chestnut-brown fur in front... Could her original form have been a weasel?
She reviewed the image of the little weasel from her dreams, then widened her eyes. Was that not a dream but a redundant account of this body’s environment?
She had transmigrated and became a lost Little Purple Mink in the forests of the Beast World, and a female one at that?
In the Beast World where the average lifespan was two to three hundred years, she was only twenty-two and still three years away from adulthood. Did that mean after three years, she’d have to find a mate and have cubs?
Wait, she felt that this was too much information, too much to take in at once. Her only thought right now was to run because she hated snakes.
Even though this snake guy seemed nice to her, she didn’t want to stay with him.
"How did I end up here? Who are you?"
Pan Lin saw that the little female finally spoke to him and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Her voice was really pleasant.
"You were snatched by me from a pack of hyenas. At that time, you had no relatives around, so I brought you back with me. My name is Pan Lin, my original form is the Fine-Scaled Taipan Snake."
Fine-Scaled Taipan Snake? Never heard of it...
Just as she questioned this, a voice echoed in her mind: "Hello, Host. Allow me to introduce myself. I am your Space Envoy, Liang Tian. Please allow me to introduce myself, blah blah blah... You are now in the Beast World Continent. During the crossing process, there will be tasks assigned to you. By completing these tasks, you may embark on your journey of rebirth. I will now provide you with some information about the Fine-Scaled Taipan Snake."
The Fine-Scaled Taipan Snake is one of the most venomous snakes on Earth. A single bite, with the poison it produces, is enough to kill one hundred adults. Despite this, its nature is rather gentle; they will not easily become agitated if you do not capture them. This type of snake primarily preys on small mammals like rats.
When hunting or startled, it will raise the front half of its body in an S shape, and its striking speed is incredibly fast, almost too quick for the human eye to catch. It is the snake with the fastest attack speed in the world; its prey often doesn’t have the chance to react before being bitten multiple times by its poison fangs. When adopting a defensive posture, its body will rise off the ground.
By the way, the venom of this snake is the equivalent of 50 Indian cobras. It contains a neurotoxin, and after being bitten, the human body will become paralyzed and ultimately die within 15 to 30 minutes due to respiratory failure. So, please weigh your own strength before considering how to deal with it.
After listening to Liang Tian’s introduction, Tangyuan thought she was really unlucky. How come as soon as she crossed over, she encountered such a venomous cold-blooded creature?
Although he didn’t look the slightest bit vile and was actually quite gentle, she always kept her distance from such creatures.
"Uh, thank you, but I’m OK now, so, I won’t trouble you any longer."
After saying this, the Little Purple Mink dashed towards the waterfall’s exit, but with a flick of his tail, she was caught again and rolled back by the even faster Pan Lin.
"Where can you go if I’m the one who saved you? Do you even know where you live? Which tribe?"
Tribe?
She had no idea. Her memory was a bit foggy. Apart from the survival laws of this continent, she didn’t know where her home or tribe was. Could it be that she was a lost female cub?
But even if she had no tribe, she couldn’t stay with him, could she?
She desperately wanted to go out and see the world because this cave was just too cold.
"I’m hungry and cold. I want to leave. Let me go."
Cold?
Pan Lin then remembered the pitiable way she shivered from the cold earlier. It had indeed been almost half a day since he brought her back.
Yet, such a beautiful and fragile female was the first of her kind he had ever encountered. The females he had seen before were dark-skinned, ugly, and robust, with big yellow teeth almost becoming their hallmark. Not like this little creature at all—agile, cute, and lovable at first sight, she had immediately captivated him.
If all females looked like this, it would not be the case that at forty, he still hadn’t found a mate.
Of course, this was also because he wasn’t willing to share a female with anyone else. What could he do when females in this world were so scarce? Finding one that could move his heart was incredibly difficult.
In the end, he let go of her, "Wait here. I’ll hunt something for you. Don’t run off; it’s dangerous outside!"
