Volume 1 Mountain Village 75: Silverchin
Skipping the unpleasant topics, after facing the deadly spiritual power of the underground works together, the two of them can be regarded as "good friends who live and die together" - so Fang Nuo generously showed off their family's unique skills in front of the mourning birds.
"What is a good language? As long as we can meet things that are destined, we are free to change into their appearance! β
In a flash of white light, a fluffy, round snow-white bird appeared in the field of vision of the two large birds.
Black: "............"
Taro: "............"
"This is how we are in your mind?"
Although, in the face of things that have nothing to do with survival, Xiao Hei doesn't like to use his brain, and he still looks at everything mainly for fun...... But he is not really stupid, and he is still very sensitive to some insulting and provocative things.
"I did my best." Fang Nuo flapped his wings, trying not to let himself fall to the ground.
And with the "hint" of the mourning bird, Fang Nuo suddenly understood in his heart - he understood why he could not become a real mourning bird.
also seemed to understand the reason why he was obviously based on the old man who was taken his life, but in the end he lost control and became an ugly monster.
This ability to transform depends on the impression of the prototype in the heart of each yellow immortal.
Although it was only his conjecture, he felt that the idea was inseparable from the truth.
The mourning birds, though they are large, the males are swarthy and have red, bloodshot eyes, and the patterns on the females can easily make witnesses suffer from dense phobia, and their calls are harsh, and the names of their races are not good words......
But in his eyes, they were harmless.
It's also a bit of a bully.
It can also be used as a "malicious perpetual motion machine" to provide benefits to oneself.
They can also provide their own insights and help when they encounter difficult problems themselves.
Therefore, when he took them as the prototype and used the spiritual power and "fate" plundered from them in the sealing ceremony to perform the miracle of transformation, he would become this harmless appearance.
Small, the feathers are very soft and comfortable to the touch, and the call is light and fluttering, which is quite pleasant.
If you stand in front of humans, you may be able to charm a bunch of people, and even Orion, who kills for a living, is estimated to be merciful when he sees himself...... However, it is better not to meet Orion.
If you talk to creatures of other races like this, you will most likely not be hostile to any creatures, and you will be able to make friends with all creatures.
It is also possible that they will look down on them, but at least they will not be evil.
"Tsk."
"Are you still proud?" Little Black jumped to his feet.
"If only all the birds looked like me."
Fang Nuo mimicked the birds he had seen before and began to bounce on the grass, having given up on maintaining flight.
"It's easy to grab, and you can swallow it in one bite."
"Believe it or not, I'm going to eat you right now?" Blackie swooped down from the treetops, but was nimble enough to dodge Fangnuo.
"Don't make jokes like that." Taro, who was still standing on the branch, knew that Fang Nuo's words were not malicious, but only out of a heartfelt and thoughtless feeling from one link in the food chain to the next, so he admonished kindly, "Although monsters and creatures cannot be confused, sometimes, birds and creatures can be taken in by us as dependents and do things for us. β
"They're cute." She glanced at the bird on the ground, "You too." β
"I'm sorry." Fang Nuo knew that he was speechless, "Since I have chosen to become a mourner...... Ah, no, this little bird, should try to see the world through its eyes. β
"The Yellow Immortal clan inherited this skill, not to assist in hunting, but to help us better communicate with the outside world and be promoted to immortal beasts as soon as possible."
Compared with hunting and eating meat, which only living beings will focus on, for their demon beast family, relying on establishing friendly relations with other species, taking the opportunity to ask them for seals, plundering spiritual power, and passing on the cost of promotion is something more worthy of care.
"Hmm...... That's not a good idea, is it? He felt a little guilty.
But when he thought that every Yellow Immortal in their family had grown up like this, the guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"There is no causal relationship between the persistence of an event and its correctness...... But that's not something that an orc of my level should consider. β
Even if he had an idea of opposing what the family had been doing, he was powerless and unqualified to change it, and besides, this was the family skill of the Yellow Immortal clan, and it was a skill engraved into their instinct.
If they want to be stronger, they can only do such things.
If a demon beast is born with a moral heart in his heart, then the only thing he can do is to try not to hurt the "destined person" as much as possible.
Pick an unlucky guy and work hard not to harm other living beings; Or cast a wide net and distribute the cost of promotion among many monsters or humans, so that each creature only bears a small price.
At this time, Fang Nuo vaguely recalled a thought that had been displayed in the memories that killed the old lady and poured into him-
Naga: "Humans are the darlings of nature. β
He added: "Human beings are free to choose their own path to advancement. β
"It's better than a giant bear." Fang Nuo skimmed away the cluttered thoughts in his mind and summarized them in one sentence, "I was born as a Yellow Immortal, and I was already very lucky. β
"Hey, little thing, our queen respects you, so she didn't directly point out that 'birds are cute, it's wrong to eat them'." Xiao Hei had an expression of "I am the mouth substitute of my own queen", "I don't want to respect you, and I don't want to pay attention to the atmosphere when you say that kind of thing." β
"Got it." Fang Nuo pursed his lips, "I don't say it so absolutely, I feel like we can be very good 'friends'." β
"Who...... Whoever is friends with you, we are prey and prey. Xiao Hei learned from Fang Nuo's actions just now and jumped a few times on the grass.
Fang Nuo originally wanted to justify "we don't hunt demon beasts", but after thinking about it, he actually plundered the spiritual power accumulated by the mourning birds, in other words, the relationship between them as a "predator and prey" was established.
"......" He knew that he was at a loss, and he stopped talking.
"It's so hard to make friends." After a long time, he sighed sincerely.
Although they are both demon beasts, although they have established a good friendship in their hearts in the past few days...... But on the bright side, they can only be "partners" or "companions", but they cannot be friends.
He could "eat" these two birds as charging packs at any time, Fang Nuo thought to himself.
The "only" advantage of friendship with these two mourning birds is that when they encounter difficulties and lack spiritual power, he is willing to rely on the relationship between the three to make them voluntarily respond to the sealing ceremony and donate spiritual power to himself.
"It's good to be able to play together." The Bird Queen comforted.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she added:
"When the breeding season of our family comes, no matter how deep our relationship is before that, we can even ignore the predation relationship and be insepar......able."
"At that point, our relationship will become very strained." There was a solemn look in her eyes, and there was a hint of sadness in them, "Even if you don't come to hurt us, we will desperately drive you away from us, or, voluntarily stay away from you and other living beings." β
"It's going to be a long time coming." The little black on the ground interjected.
Then, the two birds and the beast fell silent at the same time, and for a long time after that, neither of them spoke.
After a long while, the bird queen Taro probably felt that their silence was wasting the effect of the pigweed, so she hurriedly livened up the atmosphere and said:
"I remember, I have an impression of the little bird you transformed."
"Huh?" The little beast, which still maintained the shape of a bird ball, raised its head, and its depressed mood was instantly overshadowed by the antiduy of imminent acquisition of new knowledge.
"Kind of like a snow elf."
Her words reminded Fang Nuo of the first time they met.
"Are you serious?" But he didn't get it at all.
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Taro giggled twice, but the sound she made was not crisp and beautiful at all, but even more terrifying than when she normally expressed her emotions, "Let me think about it, before, I heard a migratory bird friend who flew through the forest mention ......"
"Outside of the Xuancai Mountains...... In the vast land north of the mainland, there lives a kind of small bird that is easily confused with a kitten, with a delicate body and light movements, a body of white and black, feathers loose but not tight, fluffy and fluffy, and a very simple appearance. β
"Isn't that him?" Xiao Hei is very conscientious in taking on the position of a champion, "This is what this kid looks like after he transforms!" β
"That creature's real name is 'Silver Chin'." The Queen of Birds is serious.
"It's amazing that you can turn a 'mourning bird' into a 'silver-chin'." The big black bird flapped its wings and said sneeringly.
"Doesn't that show that I'm good?" Fang Nuo sneered, "It can transform into a creature you've never seen before." β
"If you change to other demon beasts with transformation ability, you can't do this kind of thing, right?" He was rightly emboldened.
"Indeed." Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what else he could say, "How can I say it, being able to do this kind of thing, in a sense, you are indeed quite remarkable." β
Is it really never seen before?
Fang Nuo felt an emotion in his heart for no reason, and since he left Huangxian Ridge until today, this sense of disobedience had been swimming in his heart for several rounds.
"For as long as I can remember, I have been living in the family, my brother, sister and the elders of the clan have taken good care of me, and I will study and cultivate hard for them and myself."
This was what he had always known, and this memory was by no means false.
Many of his ideas were developed based on the education of the Huangxian clan, and many of his behaviors and habits were closely related to the daily performance of his relatives.
"However, I don't know why I think I'm called 'Fang Nuo.'"
"A lot of things seem to have been in my head for as long as I can remember."
With a bang, Fang Nuo changed back to his original appearance from the form of "Silver Chin", and fell down on the lawn, the smile on his face gradually subsided.
