Here, we heard that you are the one offering treasures and delicious foods! "A young black-skinned beastman approached, his appearance quite bizarre; his head was five times larger than normal, his nose exceedingly large with two enormous nostrils, and his teeth were a grimy gray. His eyes rolled continuously, devoid of irises, while his ears drooped down long, almost reaching his neck. He possessed only four fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot, his belly notably big with abnormally thin legs.
Seeing the creature, Lily was completely at a loss. "What happened to this animal? Is he infected by kwashiorkor?" she blurted out unconsciously.
Everyone around her was stunned, exchanging glances of confusion.
"What type of creature is this? little star" Lily wondered.
"Forest pig," Star replied.
Lily's mouth formed an "ehn" shape as she looked on in disbelief, taking another look at the forest pig.
"What nonsense are you saying?" the forest pig exclaimed after attempting to comprehend Lily's statement.
Lily blinked several times. "I asked if you were infected by kwashiorkor," she repeated.
"What does that mean?" the forest pig inquired, struggling to pronounce the word "kwashiorkor."
Lily raised an eyebrow. "It means..." A devilish smile appeared on her face. "Thou wretched, miserable, and pitiful excuse for a creature! Thy visage doth resemble a catastrophe of grotesque proportions! Kwashiorkor, thou sayest thou dost not know? Verily, I say unto thee, 'tis a malady of unfathomable horror, a plague upon thy very existence! Thy cranium, a behemoth of bulbous proportions, doth rival the grandest of gourds! Thy nasal appendages, twin tunnels of tumultuous terror, doth flail about with reckless abandon! And thy dentition, a graveyard of gray and gnarled monoliths, doth seem to mock me with its very presence! Fie upon thee, thou wretched forest pig! May thy belly forever be distended with the gases of a thousand festering farts! May thy legs forever tremble with the palsy of a thousand convulsing convolutions! And may thy very existence be forever cursed with the imprecation of a thousand befuddled befuddlements! Thy very existence desires to rob my hard-earned glory; go ahead, may thy existence be a never-ending tapestry of tribulations! May thy days be filled with the drudgery of a thousand thankless tasks! May thy nose forever twitch with the sensitivity of a thousand quivering quails! May thy teeth forever rattle with the instability of a thousand loose, lazy ligaments! May thy belly forever groan with the weight of a thousand undigested, unrepentant meals! May thy very presence be forever accompanied by the stench of a thousand festering, fetid fumaroles!" She rushed out the curses and insults without a single pause for breath.
The entire surroundings fell into an abnormally silent state, everyone's mouths dropped open wide in disbelief.
The forest pig's eyes widened in confusion, his ears flapping wildly as he stumbled backward, overwhelmed by the torrent of complicated words.
Everyone stood equally dumbfounded, at a loss for words; even Star shivered at the sheer ferocity of the curses.
"Now you understand?" Lily smiled sweetly.
The forest pig couldn't grasp even a fraction of Lily's words; he had been utterly driven to madness, and he forgot his initial purpose for being there.
"Female, what..." A male beast stepped forward, about to ask Lily the true meaning of her words, but the forest pig halted him.
"I understand what you mean now," he said, puffing out his chest with pride.
"Really?" Lily raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile spreading across her face.
The forest pig nodded confidently. "You're trying to convince me to be with you, aren't you? But it's a pity that I already have a female. Do not try that again," he stated with an air of arrogance.
Lily was stunned, blood draining from her face immediately. "Seriously, even if you don't understand, will it kill you to shut up? Why did you concoct such a ridiculous meaning? You shall be struck by deadly lightning!" she screamed inwardly.
Star laughed so hard that her stomach almost ached. "This pig is really dumb! So incredibly dense; his mind is just too perverted! Haha, sorry, Lily, you even attracted someone like this!" she cackled uncontrollably.
Lily gritted her teeth in irritation.
"Hand over the food you have, as well as the treasures. I will not harm you since you fancy me," the forest pig proclaimed.
"To hell with you and your fanciness! Crazy bitch!" Lily's anger was becoming more visible as her fist clenched tightly.
Grant noticed Lily's fury and transformed into a massive snow hawk. He flew down and landed in front of the beasts, his ear-piercing voice resonating, shocking everyone and instilling fear in their hearts.
"Dare to anger her, and what awaits you is only death!" Angus's furious voice echoed as he arrived next to Grant, now in his favorite half-snake, half-human form.
Malik transformed into a magnificent white wolf, his legs and paws faintly dark, with deadly eyes. He was astonishingly beautiful.
It was Lily's first time seeing Malik in his true form, and her eyes widened in shock. Even more astonishing was that he had already risen to an impressive level of strength. As he transformed, his power surged, and the aura he emitted was even more terrifying, leaving everyone in awe.
Art arrived and witnessed the scene, narrowing his eyes as he stood beside the others. His aura released a chilling presence that made the surroundings grow colder.
Liam emerged and observed the brewing battle, his eyes widening. It was clear that he wanted to join them to protect Lily, but recalling his own weakened state filled his eyes with sorrow.
Lily's gaze fell on Liam as he watched with a sad expression, and she picked him up. "Calm down, don't feel bad. You'll soon get your powers back, okay?" she reassured him, gently rubbing his head.
Liam looked up at Lily and buried his face in her chest.
"Isn't this guy having fun by placing his head on my chest? It feels like he has another intention," Lily thought suspiciously, unknowingly coming close to the truth.
.....
The atmosphere became tense, and the forest pig was already shivering just by looking at the four powerful beasts.
"How... how come this ugly female has such powerful mates!" he thought in despair.
"Don't think of escaping; you have angered my angel!" Angus's furious voice boomed, and he fully transformed into a massive anaconda. Rising high, the very first beast he devoured at lightning speed was the pig beastman.
Malik, Art, and Grant sprang into action, eliminating beasts through various methods while Angus continued his relentless consumption of enemies.
