Mother said that as fellow walkers, beasts have more advantages, strength, shape, physical ability, etc. than humans.

For example, if a person who has just entered spiritual practice encounters a slightly larger beast, he may not necessarily be an opponent.

The two people in front of me are so cautious when facing me, maybe they are not that powerful. These two people... are not necessarily more powerful than me!

Thinking of this, I calmed down somewhat, picked up a broken blade on the ground, and was ready to rush over at any time.

Inside the trap, you can faintly smell the scent of the bear clan, a difficult character.

Even if the bear clan is injured, it is not something that these two humans can control. Will there be others? The blood has not completely solidified. If there are other humans, it is very likely that they are not far away. Once

If there is any commotion, there is a possibility of coming back at any time.

Danger may appear at any time, and all I can do now is kill them as quickly as possible, or defeat them.

"Be careful, this beast is coming!" After seeing my imminent move, the two of them shouted almost at the same time, taking precautions.

I stared at them too, reluctant to take action. This was not like hunting normally. This time I was facing an unknown creature. It was like fighting the monster who was staying next to my mother at the moment. Just think about his appearance.

Got fighting spirit...

"If I win, I will try not to hate that monster as much as possible."

My eyes were as bright as fire, and I quickly rushed forward with my sharp blade. I wanted to make a surprise attack while they had nothing in their hands, but to my surprise, the two men actually took it directly with their hands.

Before I was surprised, they looked shocked: "What a strong force, not much worse than that bear!"

Most of my attention is on their hands. The hands of these two humans are shrouded in a strange white mist. I have seen this kind of mist many times. It is a "spirit" that only practicing creatures have.

"Power", I was curious just because it was the first time I saw it in human hands.

"Don't let it happen!"

Suffering a loss in strength, they decisively chose to use speed to suppress them. Their movements were smooth and smooth, with almost no unnecessary movements. One person's attack had just missed and the other's attack came closer, and a large part of my weapon itself was broken, and it was in front of theirs.

He was unable to fight back under the attack.

I only frowned. I have never seen such a tacit understanding before. This is the advantage of human beings.

I didn't know how many times I was kicked away under this offensive, but I finally managed to get up, and my mouth was already filled with the taste of blood.

"Stop, stop, stop. If you beat me to death, you will lose a lot!" Seeing my state, they stopped in a hurry. I felt so relieved that my legs collapsed involuntarily.

"Huchi Huchi Huchi..."

My breathing became heavier and heavier, and my accompanying movements became louder and louder. I tried to stand up several times but failed. I was extremely weak, so they hesitated for a while before approaching me very cautiously.

Almost the moment they came to me and leaned over, I let out a roar, revealed my true form, and slapped the two of them with all my strength.

Rumble!

The trap collapsed directly under the power of this palm, and the person who was hit became a bloody mess.

"You can't run away." I have to say that these two people are very powerful. When I changed my body, they were directly impacted, and one of them escaped.

As expected, none of what my mother said was reliable, and she almost died here!

I snorted coldly and chased after the human who ran away. After a few steps, I blocked his path. Without saying anything, I raised my feet and fell straight down.

In the eyes of that human being, this kick even had the meaning of covering up the sky. His eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his mouth were twitching, and he gave up even on escaping.

"Impossible, impossible!"

Peace has returned here, except for the fallen trees and large areas of land affected.

…

…

The fire in the cave is still there.

I actually heard the laughter of a certain stupid deer in the distance. I don’t know what method my mother used. After all, I have been away for so long, and she is not worried at all... although it is already expected.

I looked at the antelope behind me that had been taken care of, and then walked directly to the fire with wounds all over my body. My mother looked at me and didn't say a few words of comfort. This was also expected, as long as

If you hunt, you will definitely get injured. She has become accustomed to it over the years.

He was originally laughing next to his mother, but he suddenly became quiet because of my appearance. Of course, a naked beast suddenly appeared in front of him, with a bloody prey behind him. Most beings would probably choose to remain silent when seeing this scene.

.

"Hey, I'm sorry about what happened before. If you won't hurt us, I can promise not to be scared by you."

What kind of apology is this? But I could clearly see the stunned expression on his face, and my mother also showed a hint of joy.

"Anyway, I apologize."

I was still duplicitous, but my mother seemed very generous in comparison. She walked up to me, took me into her arms, and said softly: "It will be better if I experience this a few more times."

This kind of thing would never happen again, and he immediately wanted to break free, but suddenly there was a burst of pain in his back, and the wound that had finally stopped bleeding started to pour out blood again.

The mother noticed it immediately and stood up in panic, but the stupid deer on the other side had already handed the unused herbs to her hand.

Lying in my mother's arms, by the light of the fire, I discovered that the ant beasts I saw at the beginning were still there. The only difference was that the pieces I threw before were gone, and I don't know when there were two more complete fruits.

I don’t know why I couldn’t open my eyes no matter what, even though I wasn’t very tired. I vaguely heard my mother’s voice: “Have you revealed your true form?”

"Those two humans are very powerful, so they used their true bodies."

"Promise me not to use it again."

"But I will die..."

I really don’t know what she said after that, but until I woke up the next morning, I was still in her arms.

The injury on my back was much more serious than imagined, and it was extremely difficult to move. My mother held me with one arm, and with her other hand, she picked up the dry wood she had collected earlier and threw it to the extinguishing fire.

In the pile, watching the rekindled flames, he was talking and laughing with the stupid deer again.

Although I already believed that this deer was not a monster that wanted to eat us, his human-shaped antlers still frightened the beast. How did my mother stay calm?

I closed my eyes, and while I was recuperating, I also wanted to hear what topics my mother was talking about that could make him so happy, but I was disappointed. They were all about me. They were bland and boring and made the beast half exhausted.

Silly Deer actually listened so attentively.

"Why don't you tell me your story, mother." I opened one eye and glanced at my mother. He would probably find it incomprehensible if she told her stories.

I don't mean to veto her, I just hope that she can have some tolerance. She is not of the same race, and there is no benefit at all, not even a word of thanks.

This was just a joke, and I didn't expect her to pay attention at all. I closed my eyes again, and strangely, I felt sleepy again. I had just woken up, and it wasn't the cold winter. I really don't know where the sleepiness came from.

After that, my mind went blank, and I only heard my mother's voice, as gentle as ever.

"Then let me tell you a story about my mother..."

——

There was a beast that was about to transform. Transformation was a big deal, so amidst everyone's laughter, he imagined his appearance countless times. What would he look like? Like his father, or as gentle as his mother?

Or is he like an older brother?

Because he has never left the mountains since he was born, he only has a rough idea of ​​the human form, but he doesn't want to be like other beasts, otherwise it will be meaningless. He must pay attention to the first time in his life.

The beast decided to leave the mountains and go to a place where humans gather. He wanted to find the most special look.

"As long as you have a rough idea of ​​this kind of thing, you can maintain your unique appearance after transforming."

"We don't have many places to use the human form, so why should we be so special? Don't get too close to creatures like humans!"

His parents refused. Although they knew they were doing it for his own good, as long as he was careful, he would be fine. He left when no one was paying attention.

After that, he appeared in the nearest place where humans gathered. Although he only looked at it from a distance, he saw the huge city walls, quaint streets, side-by-side residences, and the endless flow of people.

Compared with the mountains, this place is completely different. I really wanted to go inside and have a look. Of course, he didn't take a step in the end. What his parents said must have their truth. You can already see many people here.

Then, the boy finally saw a human appearance that moved his heart, and his longing for the city in front of him was instantly replaced.

After transforming, he should be able to go there openly. He was very happy and headed to the mountain where he was born and raised as quickly as possible.

"where have you been!"

"...Just over there... I took a look at the human territory..."

When I got home, I was greeted by my mother's scolding and my father's face full of anger.

"You won't be afraid of being eaten by those carnivorous species if you leave the confines of the group!" Even my brother, who had never spoken much, scolded him sharply.

The scheduled date of transformation was getting closer, but he had no idea. At that time, he saw tears flashing in the corners of his mother's eyes. It was wrong to go to human territory, and no one would like to see that.

So is it still necessary to transform? He thought this way, and the day of transformation was still ushered in.

Every transformation is extremely important, because it takes a long time to accumulate the three spirits and seven consciousnesses. No beast wants to be disturbed during the transformation, so it is usually at a specific place planned by the group.

"Be careful, I made a lot of delicious food, you can eat it when you come back."

Although he had just experienced that not long ago, his mother still smiled and touched his head.

And the beast has been hesitating, should it change its form? There are many people in the group who use their true bodies to practice. If they say it, no beast will say anything.

"——"

He couldn't say it anyway. He ran in the dense forest, his body gradually glowed, and his spiritual power leaked out. Unknowingly, he had chosen to transform. If he couldn't do it, his mother and the others would definitely be angry. Her smile was just a forced smile.

Just out of helplessness.

"It can't be transformed, don't continue! Stop!"

After that, he really succeeded in blocking the spiritual power, but being interrupted during the transformation was expressly prohibited, otherwise he would not have been arranged in the dense forest.

…

This is not my mother's story. I don't remember any of this. My sleepiness became more and more hazy, and I murmured in a daze: "What happened next?"

"The transformation has stopped, but the beast has also lost its ability to transform forever, and it can't even restore its original form. God is really a stingy guy~"
