Chapter 337: Predicting the future and beast transformation!
Chapter 337: Predicting the future and beast transformation!
The two-faced turtle that was thrown to the ground by Chi Ping still wanted to resist. A roar that was not like that of a human came from her throat, and the sharp claws on her hands dug deep into the mud.
After a while, it jumped up from the ground again, and its sharp claws covered with mud went straight to Chi Ping's face.
"Snapped!"
Chi Ping slapped the two-faced turtle lightly, and it fell to the ground again.
This time, Chi Ping didn't wait for her to get up. Instead, he knocked her unconscious and carried the little girl on his shoulders. Looking around, he saw red lights in the eyes of the humanoid monsters around him.
Chi Ping threw a water ball into the air. Suddenly, water light shot out and countless humanoid monsters fell to the ground!
The monsters, densely packed like a tide, were wiped out by Chi Ping with a single click. The beasts present were stunned for a moment, and some of the beasts had just opened their mouths when their lower and upper teeth collided violently.
By the time Chi Ping brought the two-faced turtle back, Huoba and Xiaoyun had already discussed whether to have a constitutional monarchy or a republic.
Chi Ping's appearance did not affect their interest at all. They even enthusiastically called Chi Ping to join the discussion, but Chi Ping refused sternly.
Place the two-faced turtle in a clean room. As time passes, its thick knuckles and sharp claws slowly shrink, transforming into the same form as during the day—a little girl with a soft appearance and a timid and shy heart.
In the fierce battle just now, her clothes were stained with blood and stuck to her skin. The mixture of sweat and blood would ferment into a disgusting smell after a while.
In addition, the clothes were torn in many places, and the two-faced turtle looked really miserable at this time.
Fortunately, Chi Ping called Xiaoyun again and asked the latter to wipe her body with water and change her into clean clothes.
While Xiaoyun was busy, Chi Ping went to rest.
At dawn the next day, Chi Ping just came out of the room and saw a little girl preparing water for everyone to wash and soak some compressed dry food in water to make breakfast for everyone.
"Good morning." Chi Ping greeted him and stretched, the bones in his back making crisp sounds.
"Good morning, Mr. Chi." The two-faced turtle girl was still a little shy when she spoke. She quickly brought the food over and handed it to Chi Ping.
Probably because he found out what happened last night, he was a little timid when facing Chi Ping.
"What happened last night has caused trouble for Mr. Chi and everyone else." She said with her head down.
Chi Ping raised the breakfast in his hand and said with a smile: "Then you have saved us a lot of trouble now."
Apart from his occasional tendency to be abstract, Chi Ping is actually a relatively warm person.
Besides, for him, between making breakfast and dealing with the monster from last night, the latter might be easier.
Making breakfast is such a hassle.
"No, it's not like that." The two-faced turtle waved his hands repeatedly, thanked Chi Ping again, and ran to deliver breakfast to others.
Even though Chi Ping had added a layer of [Oracle] to her, the two sides still couldn't communicate directly. The two-faced turtle uttered a few "ahs" like a little mute and gestured a few times, but the other two could understand the meaning of "breakfast" and "thank you".
After breakfast, Ikehira waited a little longer.
He is the only one here who can understand what the two-faced turtle says. If the two-faced turtle wants to tell him the reason why he became like that last night, he can only find Chi Ping.
But after waiting for a long time, the two-faced turtle did not come, and Chi Pingquan thought that the little girl was not mentally prepared. After all, if she went berserk, the harm would not be too great.
Whether it was Chi Ping or Huo Ba, they both held it down with one hand. Xiao Yun might be a little more troublesome, but as long as Xiao Yun was airborne, he could kite her endlessly. So, they didn't take it too seriously.
When a person is strong enough, he can also be more tolerant to those around him.
Just when Chi Ping was about to call Huoba and others to set off, he saw a figure peeking out of the door.
"Come in," he said.
The two-faced turtle walked in cautiously.
She seemed to have prepared herself mentally for a long time, and when she saw Chi Ping, she was able to speak quickly.
"Mr. Chi, there is something I want to talk to you about."
"talk."
The two-faced turtle took a deep breath and said, "I am a monster."
Chi Ping nodded: "I know, and then what?"
"When I turn into a monster, I'll hurt people." The two-faced turtle said, pursing his lips. "Did you do that on purpose?"
"No!" The two-faced turtle shook his head repeatedly: "I, I can't control it."
"Did you hurt anyone?"
The two-faced turtle thought for a while and decided that if the person who was hurt was Chi Ping Huo Ba Xiao Yun, then that was not the case.
"No."
"Look, you didn't mean to do it, and you didn't hurt anyone. And you apologized, so why are you blaming yourself so much?"
Chi Ping looked into the little girl's eyes. The latter was stunned for a moment, tears gathering in her eyes.
"Hey, don't cry." Chi Ping quickly waved his hands: "There's nothing to cry about."
It’s not entirely because the two-faced turtle has shallow tear glands, but Ikehira’s values are too strange in the context of this apocalyptic world.
Like Rachel before, people here consider cost-effectiveness the most when doing things, in short, it is a comparison between input and output.
Staying with the Two-Faced Turtle means you have to bear the danger that the Two-Faced Turtle will bring to everyone after it transforms into a beast; the benefit is that the Two-Faced Turtle's predictive ability may come in handy in the future.
If the risks outweigh the benefits, then the two-faced turtle cannot stay here.
Only values and interests are considered, morality and spirituality are never taken into consideration.
But Chi Ping follows his heart.
"Thank you, Mr. Chi." After hearing Chi Ping's words to stop crying, the two-faced turtle forced himself to hold back his tears, but his shoulders were shaking slightly and he was sobbing up and down.
"No need, it's not a big deal." Chi Ping touched her head.
The little girl had been holding her tears back a second ago, but now she burst into tears with a "wow". Chi Ping could see her tonsils trembling slightly.
"Okay, okay, okay." Compared to the two-faced turtle, Le Bai doesn't like to cry.
After her mood became less twisted, the two-faced turtle started to talk more, and told Chi Ping intermittently the reason why she gained her ability, which also allowed Chi Ping to further understand the situation in the tribe.
When the two-faced turtle was born, a catastrophe was about to happen.
The tribe was short of resources, and they were inclined to abandon a frail baby girl like Two-Faced Turtle. However, she was later found by an old priest who adopted her.
When the great catastrophe came, the old priest died. At that time, the two-faced turtle was only 7 years old.
How could he survive at the age of 7 when he didn't have any awakening abilities?
Thus, she once again became an outcast of the tribe. Considering its value, it would take another five to seven years for the two-faced turtle to become a standard labor force.
Moreover, based on her current physique, she would be thin when she grew up. Instead of using seven years of food rations to raise a weak child, it would be more cost-effective to give her a little more and raise a strong and robust woman.
So, after being abandoned by the tribe again, the two-faced turtle survived alone in the wilderness.
The feeling of starvation is terrible, so the two-faced turtle eats whatever it can find, regardless of whether it is poisonous or not. Even if it dies of poison, it is fine.
It's nothing more than going to see the old priest.
Until one day, the two-faced turtle ate hallucinogenic herbs, and things began to change.
Hallucinogenic herbs are poisonous, but in her hallucinations, she could see the old priest. So, she began to actively look for hallucinogenic herbs.
She wandered between hallucinations and reality, her emotions repeatedly fluctuating violently. At this point, she awakened to the ability related to "dreams" or "hallucinations."
The good thing is that her "dreams" can predict the future to a certain extent;
The negative effect is that when in a dream, there is a certain probability that the body will transform into a beast and become unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
It was also a blessing in disguise that after she transformed into a beast, she was able to hunt and eat prey. Although she still had to eat raw meat in her beastly state, she was finally able to fill her stomach.
Later, she met Basang's tribe, and after weighing the pros and cons, the tribe accepted her.
So when the two-faced turtle learned of Basang's death, he was particularly sad.
