Chapter 2809 It Will Always Be a Good Dream

"Your...ears."

Mo Tan stared at the long ears revealed when the girl brushed aside her hair, his pupils suddenly contracting as he exclaimed in a low voice, "What's going on!?"

"The dog doesn't know either."

YaYa twitched its cute, fluffy animal ears on its head, then twitched its auditory and balance organs—the outer, middle, and inner ear located behind its eyes—and sheepishly shrank its neck, saying, "Wang just wanted to know what MoWang and WangDeka were talking about, and then..."

"And then it turned out like this?"

Mo Tan leaned close to the girl's ear, staring intently at Ya Ya's slightly pointed, long, fair and delicate elf ears, which looked like works of art. He frowned slightly and murmured something.

As is well known, the auditory organs of many orc races differ significantly from those of humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, gnomes, goblins, and other races. Among them, a considerable proportion of orcs have ears on the top of their heads. For example, the most representative orc, the horse orc, who have terrifying running speed and physical strength, only have a pair of upright ears on the top of their heads, while normal humans do not have auditory organs where ears would normally be.

In addition, the rabbit-like half-orcs are in a similar situation, with only a pair of ears on the top of their heads, and they grow hair on both sides of their cheeks for aesthetic purposes. This type of appearance is actually quite popular in mainstream aesthetics, so they generally don't have much trouble finding a partner.

Ji Xiaoge, a winged half-orc, is basically no different from a normal human. His ears are normally located behind his eyes, and his half-orc features are concentrated in his wings and feathers. He has normal binaural voice.

As for the more numerous cat and dog half-orcs, there are differences depending on their bloodline. About 30% of them only have a pair of animal ears on the top of their heads and no other auditory organs, while the remaining 70% have animal ears on the top of their heads, but also a pair of human-like ears behind their eyes, thus achieving a rather cool four-channel sound effect.

It is worth mentioning, however, that for the vast majority of four-channel orcs, their normal 'ears' located behind their eyes can only play an auxiliary role at most. Their true hearing ability still relies on the pair of beast ears on their heads. In addition, they can choose to temporarily 'deafen' their ears, which look no different from human ears, in order to make greater use of the sensitivity of their beast ears.

Yaya is a standard four-channel half-orc dog girl. Although she has always had a pair of beautiful human ears, her hearing mainly relies on the pair of beast ears on the top of her head. When she doesn't want to hear any sounds or needs to eliminate external interference, she will fold her beast ears against her hair and then block out the hearing of the pair of human ears behind her eyes, greatly reducing the interference of noise.

As for its specific hearing ability, it is about ten times that of a normal human. In its berserk state, according to Ya Ya herself, it should be twice as sensitive, which is more than twenty times the hearing ability of a normal human.

Even so, at this moment, in this situation, on the back of the Azure Dragon Fimigel Bluetooth, the proxy of Tianzhu Mountain, even if Ya Ya had hearing ten times that of an ordinary person, there was no reason why she could hear the conversation between Mo Tan and Jadka just now, even if she was separated by a barrier.

unless--

"If I'm not mistaken..."

Mo Tan gazed at Ya Ya's pair of sharp, white, and long ears and said softly, "These seem to be the ear shape of a pure-blooded elf, and the proportions are very similar to those of the extinct golden elf."

YaYa: "Whoa!!!"

Mo Tan, nearly startled by the girl's short scream, shuddered and asked, "What's wrong?!"

"No, it's okay..."

Ya Ya hugged her arms tightly, her face flushed, and said, "It's because you were too close to me, Mo Wang. When you were talking, your breathing... my ears... ugh, they're itchy!"

"Uh!"

Only then did he realize that he had indeed gotten a little too close to observe the appearance of the dog girl's ears. Mo Tan, who was only a few centimeters away from Ya Ya when he spoke, immediately straightened up and moved away by about two buttocks' distance, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"The dog is fine."

Ya Ya grabbed Mo Tan's hand, rubbed her cheek against the latter's palm, and then asked curiously, "How does Mo Wang know that Wang's ears are those of a golden elf? Wang himself doesn't know!"

Because of the rather terrifying disguise tool [Hundred Forms], Mo Tan, who had spent a long time studying the physical characteristics of various races in the [Innocent Realm] worldview, touched the tip of his nose and casually replied, "Well, that's a long story. In short, I think we should talk about your 'ears' now. What do you think?"

"The dog doesn't know why either..."

Ya Ya hugged her knee with her left hand, pulled Mo Tan's hand onto her knee with her right hand to support her chin, and then lazily said while twitching her ears: "I only know that I want to hear what Mo Wang and Wang Deka are saying, and then my ears suddenly feel a little hot, and then... um, I can suddenly hear it, although it is not very clear and is intermittent, but if you look closely, you can still hear it."

Mo Tan smiled at the dog girl beside her, who was starting to forget about the dog occasionally, and then quietly chirping a couple of times to make up for it. She said softly, "I remember that as the rarest bloodline mutants among elves, the golden elves, whose numbers are far fewer than dragons, have extremely strong talents in all aspects. Not only is their physical potential several times higher than that of ordinary beastmen, but they are also born with all-elemental affinity, and their hearing... surpasses that of some half-beastmen who are extremely talented in this field."

"Wang?"

Ya Ya tilted her head and asked curiously, "So?"

"so……"

Mo Tan turned his gaze back to Ya Ya's slightly reddened pointed ears and said with a slightly serious expression, "If you do indeed have ears exactly like the Golden Elf's, then the fact that you can hear me and Lao Jia talking can be explained."

A little guilty, Ya Ya put her animal ears back on her head and muttered softly, "Woof didn't mean it."

I didn't mean to blame you.

Mo Tan smiled and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was just a little worried. I'm sorry I didn't notice you weren't in a good mood lately."

"I'm not in a bad mood, I'm just... I'm just..."

Ya Ya pouted, gently bit Mo Tan's hand, and mumbled, "Wang has just been feeling unwell ever since he came back from that place, and..."

Noticing the hesitation in Ya Ya's eyes, Mo Tan considerately asked, "And what?"

"And this isn't the first time something like this has happened."

Once again, Ya Ya, who had forgotten to bring her verbal tic, wrinkled her nose, then after a few seconds of silence, raised her head, held her right hand in front of Mo Tan, and whispered, "Mo Wang, look."

"What are you looking at...?!"

Mo Tan had barely finished speaking when he froze on the spot. The reason was simple: the seemingly delicate, boneless white hand in front of him was slowly covered with a layer of amber-colored scales. And it was—

"Dragon scales?"

Mo Tan stared intently at Ya Ya's right hand, his expression grave as he asked the question. Though it was a question, there was no hesitation or doubt in his words.

The reason is simple: the character 'Mo' is a half-dragon, and one with exceptionally high individual qualities and potential. Despite only being at a high level, he can undergo partial dragonification using the [Reverse Scale].

Not only that, he can even activate [Reverse Scale - Full Release] at a considerable cost. In that state, the dragon bloodline in Mo Tan's body will be activated to its limit, to the point that his body will undergo obvious mutations that are visible to the naked eye, such as the pair of dragon wings that resemble a cape and the dragon crystals that can directly replace armor.

While the amber scales that Ya Ya displayed at this moment were not as eye-catching as when Mo Tan used [Reverse Scale - Full Release], they were even more noticeable than when he used [Reverse Scale] for limited dragon transformation. Whether it was the coverage area of ​​the scales, their luster, their hardness, or the heavy dragon might hidden within them, they were not something a normal dog girl should possess.

However, Mo Tan already knew that Ya Ya was not a normal dog girl.

Aside from the fact that normal dog girls don't go berserk all the time and that the dog-like content in every sentence can't exceed 10%, the real issue is that, under normal circumstances, only dragons, wyverns, half-dragons, or a few druids can learn dragon language magic, and the latter two have a really low probability of successfully learning it.

For example, when Mo Tan first started playing, he comprehended a dragon language spell called "Deep Blue Flame Wave". At that time, his comprehension progress was 0.03%, and it is still 0.03% now. If nothing unexpected happens, there is no risk that he will be able to fully learn it in his lifetime.

But Yaya is different. When Fimigel taught Lu-chan to use dragon language magic in a druid's manner, this adorable dog girl really listened and learned it, and in the end, she actually succeeded in using it!
As a canine half-orc girl who had never studied the mystical, Yaya's ability to use dragon language magic was unprecedented, if not the first of its kind. This fact greatly shocked Fimigel at the time, and even Ruvi was somewhat surprised by it.

Later, because Ya Ya liked to combine [Berserk] with her modified [Dog Language Magic] to achieve a super-doubled power effect, which eventually led to serious side effects, everyone ordered her not to do it so easily. Over time, although Mo Tan and the others remembered that Ya Ya knew [Dog Language Magic], they didn't care so much about it anymore.

However, at this moment, as past clues suddenly flashed back into his mind, Mo Tan could no longer remain calm. Instead, he grasped Ya Ya's heavy, cold right hand, covered in amber dragon scales, and said in a deep voice, "It started after we left the ancient ruins?"

"Ah."

Ya Ya nodded vigorously and obediently said, "It should be shortly after we returned to Savage Highlands."

"You just said you haven't been feeling well."

Mo Tan frowned, his face full of worry, and asked, "Where do you mean you feel uncomfortable? Is it the discomfort that occurs every time this happens, or..."

"I feel uncomfortable."

Ya Ya interrupted Mo Tan with a smile, then gently shook her little hand. After all the dragon scales on it had fallen off, she grabbed Mo Tan's arm and gently bit it: "I'm fine now. I... I've always been strong, so Mo Tan doesn't need to worry about me!"

Mo Tan shook his head, letting Ya Ya leave a lot of seemingly layered but actually painless teeth marks on the back of his hand, and said seriously, "It's also worrying if you feel uncomfortable."

"Hehe~"

Ya Ya hugged Mo Tan's arm with a grin and said happily, "Actually, it's not so bad. It's just that I often have nightmares. Hmm... Although most of the time they are bad dreams, I sometimes have good dreams. I dream about my dad, mom, best friends, my adoptive grandpa, Mo Wang, Wang Deka, Sister Wang Ge, Sister Xiao Le, Wang Dongni, Wang Busi, Wang Jiang, and Wang Badan. When you are there, even nightmares turn into good dreams!"

Mo Tan stroked the little head that Ya Ya had brought to her face and asked softly, "What if we're not in your dream?"

"Then the dog knows it's fake! The dog isn't scared anymore!"

While squinting her eyes in enjoyment, Ya Ya lazily said, "Although I was a little scared when I first woke up, I wasn't scared anymore when I thought about how everyone was around me."

Mo Tan nodded gently and said with a smile, "That's right, you don't need to be afraid, we're all here for you."

"Uh-huh!"

The girl gave a silly, innocent smile and mumbled, "So Mowang and Wangdeka don't need to worry about Wang, and you don't need to tell Sister Wangge and the others. Wang is fine, Wang is full of energy!"

"Just because you say you're not worried doesn't mean we won't be worried."

Mo Tan shook his head and said seriously, "Moreover, your physical condition... is indeed quite different from that of ordinary people. You can learn dragon language magic, you can make scales on your body that resemble dragon transformation, and you can even make your ears look like those of a golden elf. If we don't figure out the specific reasons, we will definitely be worried."

Ya Ya, however, nestled in Mo Tan's arms with a carefree expression and laughed, "But I really don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. I even feel like I've become stronger. Hmm... although I don't usually dare to try things because I'm afraid everyone will worry, it should be a good thing, right? It will definitely come in handy when fighting those bastards, Vipers, right?"

"I can't say for sure whether this is a good thing or not, but in any case, I hope you can promise me that if you feel even the slightest bit unwell, you will tell us, okay?"

"Okay! Woof got it!"

"And also, regarding your actions against the [Viper], you actually..."

"Woof! ...

"……it is good."

"Hehe~"

"Speaking of which, you said you dreamed about your parents and best friends. Was that before you were adopted by that old man?"

"It seems so. Although Wang doesn't seem to remember what happened back then, he's been dreaming about it a lot lately!"

"If there's anything that's bothering you, remember to tell us."

"it is good!"
