Free Web NovelChapter 553: Chapter 403: This Skunk Fierce Beast Has Evolved
The System chuckled mischievously. "There are no beastmen patrolling the back mountain right now. Host, you can just slip away after you’re done washing. By the time they notice anything, we’ll be long gone."
Wu Yue’s face darkened. ’This is a little too thrilling and exciting for my taste.’
Ultimately, the two of them snuck over to the pool on the back mountain—the same one where they’d encountered the wild boar before.
A few sticks floated on the water’s surface, but the water itself was crystal clear. Wu Yue removed the Beast Skins she was wearing and slid into the pool.
She took out the High rank Body Strengthening Pills. "Is this going to hurt a lot?"
The System huffed. "Of course it’s going to hurt a little. You’ll just have to endure it, Host."
Wu Yue took a deep breath and tossed the pill straight into her mouth.
The pitch-black pill dissolved into a warm current the moment it entered her mouth. Wu Yue felt as if she had taken a sip of hot water; it was wonderfully soothing on her throat.
But her comfort was short-lived. The warmth spread from her mouth throughout her entire body, its pleasant heat intensifying until it became a scorching blaze.
As this scorching heat pervaded her body, Wu Yue’s teeth began to grind with a "KRRRSH" sound. Her very flesh felt as if it were being incinerated, each bone broken one by one.
"H-holy shit! System, this is what you call ’a little’ painful?"
’This is like being completely reforged in a furnace!’
The System squatted silently to the side with a crestfallen puppy-dog expression, watching its host’s contorted face and creaking body. He felt a sympathetic ache in the body he was currently inhabiting.
’Is the pain supposed to be this intense?’
But gradually, the System’s eyes widened, and a look of utter disbelief appeared on his small, furry face.
’Holy meow! He had only ever heard of fat grafting, but what was happening to his host... was this flesh grafting?’
Her once-emaciated body gradually became slender and well-proportioned. Her skin lost its previous unhealthy pallor, turning a rosy pink. If not for the faint resemblance to her old face, he would have never believed this was his own host.
The System was just drooling over the beautiful sight when his little nose wrinkled. In the next instant, he shot a paw up to block it.
’Holy shit!’
’This familiar, yet even more overpowering, stench is...’
’...simply to die for.’
’With a smell like this, what’s there to worry about? Any clueless Half beastman or Beastman who dares approach will be knocked out cold. If one comes, one faints. If two come, a pair faints.’
Pinching his nose, the System watched as his host transformed from a fair-skinned little beauty into a pitch-black charcoal briquette.
’Talk about disillusioning...’
The next moment, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the humanoid charcoal briquette... err...
No, that is to say, his Dog Host was awake.
"Host, hurry up and wash yourself! The smell is even stronger this time. It’s spreading way farther than before. We need to leave, fast!"
Wu Yue’s heart clenched. She had no time to inspect the changes to her body. She hastily pulled a Beast Skin from the System Space and began scrubbing the black grime from her skin.
Seeing she was finally clean, the System leaped onto the stone platform, snatched her clothes in its mouth, and tossed them to her. "Get dressed! We have to..."
"ROAR!"
"ROAR! ROAR!"
At that very moment, a series of tiger roars echoed from the direction of the Snow Tiger Tribe.
Wu Yue panicked, nearly dropping the Beast Skin garment in her hands into the water.
"Host, hurry!"
The System urged her on, hopping anxiously on its four little paws on the stone platform.
Wu Yue felt a wave of relief that she’d brought a one-piece, dress-style Beast Skin. She threw it over her head and bolted in the opposite direction.
The moment the figures of the human and the beast vanished into the forest, tiger roars erupted on the back mountain.
"Clan Leader, this smell is all too familiar. It’s that skunk Fierce Beast from last time. And the smell is even more dizzying than before. That creature has probably evolved again."
The one speaking was none other than the Half beastman Warrior who had fainted from the stench last time. He now had a strip of Beast Skin tied tightly under his nose, an attempt to block the pervasive, hazardous odor.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached from behind.
"Clan Leader, I’ve brought the mud."
A Half beastman Warrior lowered the basket from his back, revealing it was full of mud already mixed with water.
"Plaster this mud over your noses and secure it with Beast Skin. We’re going to take a look at this skunk Fierce Beast that keeps visiting our tribe."
At his words, the expressions of the surrounding Beastmen turned grave. After smearing their noses with mud, they followed the Clan Leader toward the source of the foul odor.
