The white moon covered in snow, the oracle of all things.
The silver moon in spring, the oracle of all things.
The grey moon in the rain, the oracle of all things.
The red moon like fire, the oracle of all things.
The four seasons changed, the cycle repeated itself.
Now, the long white moon season had just passed.
The grasslands were green again, and the world full of life was also filled with danger. This was because it wasn't just the Beastmen that walked out of the cave, there were also hungry exotic beasts. The slightest mistake would cause them to become food …

[Ding! Host's basic data has been scanned!]
[Ding! Mission target has been locked. Now scanning basic data!]
[Gou Liang: Xiao Si, cut off my pain … …]
[System: Master, you are currently under the gaze of everyone and have detected that the world's source energy is outside the host's body. It is recommended to maintain the original state and not use any items for now. In addition, a warm reminder: Ever since No. 00102 was expelled by the world's main god's consciousness due to OOC, the mission's difficulty has increased unpredictably. So far, there have been 69 failures. Master, please be mentally prepared.]
[Gou Liang, who was in unbearable pain, could only rely on his willpower to hold on. … … First extract the host's original mirror image for me.]
[System: Yes, master.]
The host's name was Lang Xi, nineteen years old … … female.
In this Beast God Continent, in order to survive between the fierce exotic beasts, the survival of the fittest allowed the humanoid creatures here to have the battle form of beasts.
Their lifespans were even longer than exotic beasts, around three hundred years. Their infancy and aging periods were very short, but their fertility rate was very low.
As time passed, a small number of newborn beastmen showed signs of atavism. They couldn't transform, but they were lucky enough to have stronger fertility. The Beastmen believed that this was a gift from the Beast God to them, and these beastmen with strong fertility but no fighting ability were called females.
On the other hand, they were called males.
The Beastmen gathered together according to their own habits and gradually developed into tribes.
On a large plain called "Wob" to the east of the Beast God Continent, there were several dozen tribes of different sizes. The place where Gou Liang was currently located was the Wob tribe known as the number one tribe on the Wob Plains, the Wob tribe.
Lang Xi, the eldest female son of the Wob tribe's chief.
When he was born, his father led the warriors of the tribe to fight against the Bray tribe. He was seriously injured and almost lost his life.
His father was so shocked that his fetus was affected and gave birth to him.
Originally, females were already very weak when they were young. They had to be carefully raised until they were five years old. The tribe's priests would pray for blessings to obtain the Beast God's blessings before they could grow up safely. The original owner's condition was very bad. When she was young, she was sick almost every two or three days.
Fearing that he would die prematurely, the original owner was raised by the old priest before the age of five. It was only after receiving the blessing of the Beast Deity that he was brought home …
[Ding! Target's basic information scan complete!]
Name: Meng Hao
Sex: Male
Age: 29
Height: Medium
Appearance coefficient: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Intelligence coefficient: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Physical fitness coefficient: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Health coefficient: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Potential: S class
Current favorability: 0.
Gou Liang, who was interrupted, was shocked because of the 0 favorability.
Meng Hao and the original owner were not strangers. On the contrary, they were very familiar with each other. From what Gou Liang saw of Lang Xi's memories before she was five years old, he and Meng Hao could be said to be childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was very good! Meng Hao, who was ten years older than the original owner, took care of him even more and treated him as a family member. How could it be possible that the soul's connection coefficient was so strong, but the favorability was 0?
Gou Liang, who was afraid of missing the key details, replayed the soul's image that he had seen before, focusing on extracting the target's memories.
Combined with the basic information provided by the system, Gou Liang had a more comprehensive understanding of the target's life experience.
Compared to the original owner who had a happy family, Meng Hao's family was very unfortunate.
He had a pair of very loving fathers, but because they were too loving, the two of them accidentally killed someone in the red rose season. As a result, Meng Hao was born in the white rose season, which had a high mortality rate.
On the Beast God Continent, the four seasons were distinct, but the length was different. The longest one was the cold white rose season. Because the weather was too bad, it was difficult for the little Orcs born in this season to survive even if they were carefully cared for. And even if they were lucky enough to survive, their physique was worse than others, and their fighting strength was generally low.
Meng Hao's safe birth did not make the little family relieved. Instead, it brought a devastating blow.
Because the color of his fur was very light, almost as white as the white moon in the night sky. The strength of the Orcs was, without exception, related to the color of their fur and skin. The darker the color, the higher their strength.
For example, Lang Xiong, the strongest person in the Wal 'er tribe, who was also Lang Xi's father, was a black wolf in his beast form.
And the white fur was not only easy to expose oneself during hunting, but the strange beasts also hated this color as much as the white moon. They would immediately go into a state of rage when they saw it, and traveling with it would bring great trouble to their companions.
Therefore, in the legends of the Beast God Continent, this kind of White Orc was called the abandoned child of the Beast God.
Meng Hao's fathers regretted their impulsive actions.
But the mistake had been made, and it was hard to undo.
The old priest was kind, and after Meng Hao was born, he kept him by his side to raise him, which allowed him to live healthily. But the misfortune of the family did not stop there …
In the white rose season, when Meng Hao's father was pregnant with his younger brother, Meng Hao's father, Meng Hao's father, died in a battle with the strange beasts that invaded the tribe. Meng Hui was born not long after in the silver rose season, and after seeing that the second male son's hair was black, the mother's father, who had a difficult birth, let go of her breath and passed away.
Meng Hao's brothers, who became orphans, were adopted by the old priest, and then the original owner, who was the same age as Meng Hui, was born. The three grew up together, and their feelings were naturally different.
Meng Hao, who had been silent since childhood but knew how to take care of people, cared and cared for the original owner, no less than his own younger brother. Even because the original owner's body was too weak, Meng Hao treated him more carefully than Meng Hui. The original owner was also very dependent on him, and compared to his father, he was even more willing to be close to Meng Hao.
Looking at the mirror image of the original owner holding the tail of the beast Meng Hao and being coaxed to sleep by the other party, Gou Liang's eyes flashed with a touch of deep thought.
What happened later that could make Meng Hao, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, have a good impression of the original owner drop to zero?
With such doubts, Gou Liang carefully looked at the original owner's soul mirror image, and finally — — he was completely speechless.
As the saying goes, no matter how correct the reincarnation posture is, it can't stop people from seeking death.
Because of the accident when he was born, the original owner's parents were very guilty of him, and because the original owner was not raised by their side, they were very affectionate. When the original owner, who was healthy, returned home, they not only held him in their hands, but also felt that what he did was right, and they were never willing to restrain and discipline him.
Although the original owner was well educated by the old priest, he was only a five-year-old child after all, his character was not set, and he was soon raised crooked.
When Lang Xiong's husband understood the truth that the beloved child was equal to the harmful child, it was too late.
The original owner's lively and lovely had unknowingly become arrogant, selfish, vain and jealous.
When the original owner understood what kind of existence the abandoned child of the Beast God was, he was very displeased with Meng Hao, and felt that being close to such a waste was a disgrace to himself. Not only did he evict him from his side, but he also threw away the nourishing fruits and precious herbs that Meng Hao sent, and made fun of him for being a "fake female who can't hunt and can only collect."
After a few times, Meng Hao gradually stopped appearing in front of him as he wished.
This happened when the original owner was nine years old, and in the next ten years, he never saw Meng Hao again. He only heard about his recent situation from his parents and other people, but he didn't take it to heart.
However, the original owner and Meng Hui's relationship had always been very good — — the latter was the blackest Winged Wolf Beastman in the tribe, other than Lang Xiong, and the future number one warrior. Naturally, he was different from the "waste" Meng Hao.
Meng Hui really liked him, and when he started learning how to hunt, he would always pick fresh fruits and give him the best parts of the exotic beasts he hunted. But it wasn't just Meng Hui, most of the unmarried male beastmen who were around the same age as the original owner were racking their brains to please him. Even the females envied him, got close to him, and chased after him for various reasons.
This was not only because he was the eldest female son of the tribe leader, but also because he had the right to be proud.
As a precious female, the original owner was beautiful and cute, and had been the most beautiful female in the tribe since young. He had a cheerful personality and loved to laugh, and although he was a little rude and unreasonable, these "bullying" was something that his pursuers would gladly endure.
What was even more fortunate was that he had the ability to pray that the Beast God had given him.
The ability to pray was a decisive factor in becoming a tribe's priest, and was one in ten thousand among the rare females.
This type of female had a certain degree of affinity with nature, and could use this as a medium to pray to the Beast God, fulfilling the wishes of those who prayed.
The current priest of the Wall tribe prayed to the Beast God through water to protect the peace of the tribe. And the original owner had an affinity with plants, and had shown a special talent when he was two or three years old, and had once brought a withered precious herb back to life. Although he was young and had a weak body, and had fainted for three days and three nights after praying, this was enough to surprise people.
The old priest had originally intended for him to be the successor of the priest of the Wall tribe, but as the original owner grew up, his amazing ability was slowly taken back by the Beast God, just like many females who did not inherit the priestly orthodoxy when they were young.
And the selfishness and extremes in his bones were also exposed, so the old priest could only dismiss this idea.
The original owner did not care about this, as he did not want to be a priest.
Don't look at the glory on the surface, being respected and revered by everyone in the tribe. As a priest, he could form a contract, but he had to take the bitter fruit and could not have children. This was because once he was pregnant, he would lose the power of the Beast God's prayer — the original owner was not willing to make such a huge sacrifice to fulfill the happiness and well-being of others.
The original owner only enjoyed being surrounded by stars, and was not prepared to sacrifice selflessly for anyone.
He thought that his life would be peaceful and smooth, and that he would marry the strongest person in the tribe during his coming-of-age ceremony, continue to be envied by everyone, and live a glorious life — but after Yue Jing appeared, all of his beautiful dreams were put to rest.
Three years ago, the Moon Fox tribe at the intersection of the Worb Plains and the Forest of Trees submitted to the Warren tribe, and Yue Jing came to Warren at that time.
The Fox tribe's appearance was the most outstanding among the Beastmen, and even the males were very handsome, not to mention the delicate and beautiful females.
And although Yue Jing was the same age as the original owner, he was once the last priest of the Moon Fox tribe, and his appearance was one of the best. He attracted the attention of almost all the unmarried male Beastmen when he came to Warren.
Compared to the original owner of the body whose affinity with plants had almost been completely taken back by the Beast God, Yue Jin's affinity with the wind was still very strong.
Not only did he have a beautiful appearance, but he was also smart, capable, approachable, polite, gentle, and kind, which made the original owner look like trash.
The suitors around him began to fawn on Yue Jin one after another. Even the females who had tried to please him were now circling around Yue Jin. The original owner had always been a top-notch person, so how could he tolerate such a disparity?
So, he took advantage of his position as the tribe leader's son to create a lot of obstacles for Yue Jing and his tribe.
But all the obstacles were cleverly resolved by Yue Jing. The latter kept giving in, but the original owner was still aggressive and unforgiving. Not to mention the Moon Fox tribe, even the others were dissatisfied with this.
The original owner's image became worse and worse, and in the end, his pair of cloudy eyes that were filled with jealousy no longer had any of the pure intelligence of his youth. This made the old priest, who couldn't really give up, completely give up the idea of letting him inherit his position. He officially chose another female with the prayer power and announced his identity as the successor.
The original owner, who was jealous by nature, even hated the female and the old priest, thinking that the other party was deliberately making him lose face and taking away what originally belonged to him. The original owner's private complaints were leaked by a "best friend" who was close to him on the surface, but had long been alienated. Even Lang Xiong, who had always indulged him, was angry and taught him a lesson, not to mention the other elders who were becoming more and more dissatisfied with the original owner.
But the original owner didn't think it was his fault, only others were at fault. Not only did he not repent, but he also became worse.
However, the original owner's unscrupulous actions couldn't restore his vanity until Meng Hui, who was infatuated with him, won the first place in the adult trial at the age of 18 and proposed to him in public.
In the past two years, the original owner had a very bad time. He vented his anger on everyone, even Meng Hui, who had always been by his side, suffered a lot.
Meng Hui's proposal was unexpected, but he also felt that it was reasonable.
So, although he didn't love Meng Hui, under the jealous and envious gazes of his female companions, he accepted Meng Hui's proposal in a high-profile manner. Because the female's infancy was longer than the male's, the two agreed to officially sign a contract at the original owner's adult ceremony at the age of 20 under the witness of the priest and the tribe.
Meng Hui's strength was the highest among his peers, and if there were no accidents, he would inherit the position of the next First Warrior and the tribe leader.
The original owner was very satisfied with his choice, feeling that the grievances he had suffered in the past two years had finally come to an end. He secretly vowed that when he became the wife of the tribe leader, he would drive Yue Jing and the people he hated out of the tribe!
Who knew that good times didn't last long.
What everyone didn't expect was that not long ago in the White Moon Season, in the fierce battle between the tribe and the beasts, Meng Hui was seriously injured – although his life was saved, his legs were broken, and he couldn't even stand, let alone run and hunt.
The original owner's dream was shattered, and he couldn't accept that his future husband was a disabled person. When Meng Hui's injury was announced, he asked his father to cancel the engagement.
"My husband is the First Warrior of the tribe! I will not marry such a waste even if I die! "
The original owner was hysterical.
"Get out."
This was the first sentence that Meng Hao said to the original owner when they met for the first time ten years later.
The eyes that were colder than the white moon made Gou Liang understand that at this time, Meng Hao's good impression of the original owner had almost been worn away by time, and had fallen to zero.
The White Moon Season that made people despair finally passed, but Meng Hui's condition didn't improve at all, and the old priest had already said that he couldn't do anything.
The original owner had unilaterally threatened to break the engagement, and even if his father and the priest didn't allow it, he swore that he would never marry the other party. It was also because of this that when the tribe's gathering team was attacked by hungry beasts at the Silver Moon Festival today, Meng Hao hesitated for a moment to save the original owner, and although the original owner was quickly sent back to the priest, there was nothing he could do.
[Gou Liang: Hehe, I would rather his good impression be -100.]
[Do you know what 0 good impression means? It means that the goal is very big, and he is a calm and rational dog, once he makes a decision, he will not change it! It also means that he will no longer have any expectations for this person! He will no longer trust this person! He doesn't want to have any interaction with this person! He will never have the slightest good impression of this person! And this is the body that you have carefully chosen for me, en?]
[System: … … Master, please restrain your grief.]
Gou Liang, who was so angry that his whole body hurt even more, refused its comfort, and turned to look at his current situation through the system monitor.
*
"Benevolent Beast God, this is the child that you have blessed, please don't take him back into your arms so early. Benevolent Beast God, this is the child that you have prayed for, please … … "
The old priest kept chanting, praying for the power of the Beast God to save this poor child that was still underage.
Gou Liang first glanced at the blind spot, and then he was surprised — — he and the system both felt that the original power of this world was very close to the original owner's body, but it was very strange, this power was completely unable to be absorbed by the host.
[Gou Liang: Xiao Si, what is going on?]
[System: Master, please wait … … According to the main system's reply, due to unknown reasons, the host is temporarily incompatible with the original power, and needs to be investigated further. During this period, due to the host's weak vital signs, please use the store's items to help in time and properly. Otherwise, once the host dies, you will never be able to enter the current mission world again.]
[Gou Liang: It's still the same formula, it's still the same familiar taste, hehe.]
[System: Smile.jpg]
"Beast God above, please save my poor child, I am willing to use my life in exchange for his life … …"
"Xi 'er, hold on, don't give up … …"
The parents of the original owner were in tears, praying devoutly.
The pale old priest had already used up all his praying power, and the watery fluorescence that lingered around Lang Xi gradually dimmed.
"Xi 'er! Beast God, I beg you, please don't take my child away … … "
Jared cried and begged. His second male son hugged him. He, who had always been at odds with his elder brother, had tears in his eyes now. He prayed in his heart, "Lord Beast God, please forgive my brother. I beg you, I am willing to pay any price, just don't take him away …"
Lang Xiong choked, "Priest, is there no other way?"
The old priest shook his head.
Seeing the watery fluorescence fade, revealing Lang Xi's deathly pale face, even those who didn't like him showed pity at this time.
"Xi 'er, my child, don't leave your father, you can't be so cruel … …"
"Ghar … …" Lang Xiong endured the pain and said, "Don't let the child die in peace."
Ghar covered his mouth, but his sorrowful cries still leaked out from his palms.
At this time, Yue Jing said, "Priest, please forgive me, my Moon Fox clan has a way to save Lang Xi, but I am no longer a priest … …"
"Kind child, don't be afraid of these rules." The old priest hurriedly said, "Now the Moon Fox clan is a member of my Wall tribe, and you are also a relative of Lang Xi, the Beast God will forgive you."
Lang Xiong also hurriedly said, "Priest is right. Child, you are not praying as a priest, but as a family member of my Wall tribe, I believe that the Beast God will not blame you. "
Yue Jing's eyes were red, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't bear to see Lang Xi die, he would never take the risk to mention it.
After all, each tribe could only have one priest, and as the priest of the former tribe, his existence was actually very sensitive and awkward.
Yue Jing said, "I am still underage, my power of prayer is weak, I can only try my best. Chief, Uncle Ghar, if … … please don't be too sad. "
Ghar: "Thank you, Yue Jing, uncle knows that you have good intentions, even if in the end Xi 'er is still … … his father and I will be very grateful."
Yue Jing then stood beside the priest.
"All the males present, please use the most sincere voice to pray to the Beast God together with the females in your beast form."
This was a matter of great importance, no one hesitated, even Meng Hao, who never showed his beast form in front of others, turned into a beast.
Gou Liang looked at the blind spot that was suddenly magnified dozens of times, and couldn't help but look forward to Meng Hao's current beast form — — he must be so handsome that no one would have any friends!
When he outlined his large beast form, Yue Jing spread out his hands, felt the flow of the wind, and chanted, "Benevolent Beast God, your humble servant is praying to you, please save your poor people. Benevolent Beast God, your devout servant is praying to you, please give your young people a little blessing … … "
Under his constant chanting and the prayers of the surrounding Orcs, a few wisps of wind kept Lang Xi's wound safe, and the luster slowly condensed.
As time passed, Yue Jing's face became paler and paler.
When his face was covered in cold sweat and he used all his strength to fight, the Beast God finally responded to his prayers — — a gentle power gently kissed the fatal wound on Lang Xi's forehead and abdomen, and reconstructed the damaged skin and flesh bit by bit.
Yue Jing's voice paused for a moment, and then he chanted with gratitude, "Benevolent Beast God, the messenger of the wind brings you blessings, your humble servant offers you the most loyal thanks … …"
Gou Liang, who used the regeneration tool that he bought with 100 points to repair his host body, noticed a flash of surprise in Yue Jing's eyes.
— — Obviously, he didn't think that he could save the original host from the start.
[Gou Liang, who acutely sensed that there was something wrong with the other party: Xiao Si, use the mirror tool to extract Yue Jing's soul for me.]
[System: Uh, Master, allow me to remind you that the mirror tool only provides one chance to experience it in each mission world. If you want to use it again, you have to pay the full amount, which is 99 points — —]
[Gou Liang: Xiao Si, do you have to remind me of such a painful thing? → ^ →]
[System: (^ v ^)]
[Ding, the extraction of the target's soul has been completed!]
Gou Liang, who was originally casually browsing, became more and more serious as he read on.
Yue Jing was actually … …
— — He finally knew what the so-called uncertain factor in the Orc World that caused the mission difficulty to soar was referring to.
