Chapter 795 - 787: Special Ability
When Su Muyao asked this question, her heart couldn’t help but tense up.
Could Xie Guixue be a pure-blood demon race beastman?
She remembered during her time on the Cang Beast Continent, she captured Lin Huirou from the Sikou Family and interrogated her about some matters.
Lin Huirou voluntarily confessed to certain things.
She said that a pure-blood demon race beastman returned, causing the Demon Realm to restart.
Moreover, Sikou Cai Xu originally did not have Demon Blood, but Lin Huirou said she used a Magic Artifact and Secret Technique to exchange half of Sikou Cai Xu’s blood for Demon Blood, enabling him to enter the Demon Realm.
Without Demon Blood, those who aren’t demon race beastmen cannot enter the Demon Realm.
Therefore, Su Muyao wondered if there is a Secret Technique to transform into a pure-blood demon race beastman.
The Great Elder spoke: "Normally, it is not possible unless the person has extremely strong demon race talent, inherits a portion of pure-blood demon race Blood Power, and awakens extremely powerful Inheritance Power of the demon race, which would allow for a complete transformation into a pure-blood demon race beastman."
"Moreover, the demon race beastmen highly regard lineage and talent."
"Unlike other tribes, where some can cultivate through talent."
"In the demon race, the purer the lineage, the stronger the talent will be, making it easier to awaken the Inheritance Power."
"There is also the case where pure lineage suppresses other beastmen of the same tribe."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted, and she looked towards Shen Ci’an: "Does this pure lineage suppression resemble the Blood Clan?"
Shen Ci’an’s eyes moved, and he nodded: "Yes, that’s correct."
"The suppression exerted by pure-blood species over other beastmen in the tribe is absolute."
"This also ensures the absolute status of pure-bloods, preventing other tribesmen from rebelling."
The internal chaos within the Holy Mountain Blood Clan was also caused by the pure-blood species.
If not for the pure-bloods leading, others within the tribe would not dare to rebel.
Thus, Su Muyao gained some understanding of the demon race beastmen.
But she felt this understanding was still quite limited.
Su Muyao looked at the imprint on Mao Xize’s forehead and asked: "So, is this imprint impossible to remove?"
Yue Wuhen spoke softly: "Yes, it cannot be removed, nor should it be."
Once removed, if they become demonic and turn cold and ruthless, it would be hard to control.
It would bring danger to many innocent beastmen in the Taixu Secret Realm.
Therefore, it indeed cannot be resolved.
However, Su Muyao was somewhat worried looking at these cat beastman with weak strength.
Mei Qingchen, knowing her thoughts, spoke to the Cat Clan Great Elder: "Would you be willing to merge with the Golden Leopard Tribe and be protected by them?"
This way, at least their safety could be ensured.
Because, before leaving the Taixu Secret Realm, they will set up a protective Barrier for the Golden Leopard Tribe.
The Cat Clan Great Elder, upon hearing this, couldn’t believe their ears, and his hands trembled with excitement, "Young Master Mei, are you... are you truly saying this?"
Although the Cat Clan Tribe lives far away, they are aware of Young Master Mei’s reputation.
The most important thing is that he possesses the Purification Power.
Sufficient to spread across the major tribes.
Moreover, it’s said that after the Golden Leopard Tribe was purified, their living environment greatly improved, and food resources increased.
Indeed, as long as there is no pollution, guarding the mountains, whether hunting or foraging, they wouldn’t go hungry.
They once hoped to merge with the Golden Leopard Tribe, but at that time they didn’t dare consider it.
Because of their weak strength, poor hunting skills, and lack of abilities to offer.
Normally, the Golden Leopard Tribe wouldn’t look favorably upon them.
"Our Cat Beastmen have overall weak strength, so... can this truly happen?"
Mei Qingchen said: "Of course it can, with the Golden Leopard Tribe’s territory expanding, after you go, I’ll have a separate area allocated for you to live."
"Hunting won’t be necessary, but there will be work to do."
The Great Elder hurriedly responded: "That’s absolutely no problem, though our strength isn’t great, we’re very diligent and serious, and can handle many tasks without dragging others down."
Mei Qingchen understood that Cat Beastmen are only affected by Demon Blood, with weak strength but they are especially agile in work.
This is also due to their original form being a cat beast.
Farming, foraging, and tea-making don’t require superpower skills; they can be done without superpower.
Now, with the expanded territory of the Golden Leopard, relying on only Golden Leopard Beastmen, Black Lion Beastmen, and Spiritual Rabbit Beastmen, among others, is insufficient; more beastman will help farm more land, producing more food.
The more united they are, the less they will be bullied.
Mao Xize, having just recovered from shock and excitement, spoke to Su Muyao: "Benefactor, we Cat Beastmen can also patrol. Although our combat ability is not strong, we have quick reflexes and speed."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted.
She thinks that if the Cat Beastmen were trained, perhaps they’d be suited for intelligence gathering.
As Su Muyao contemplated this, Mao Xize seemed to recall something and approached Su Muyao, speaking softly: "Benefactor, I can transform at night, and enter many places unnoticed."
This is a special ability of his.
But it seems it’s not an ability inherent to him, rather a power within his body.
However, each time he uses it, there’s a price to pay, so he generally prefers not to show it.
Besides him, only the Clan Leader and the Great Elder are aware of this ability.
But he wants to repay his benefactor for their kindness.
So he openly revealed it.
He hopes he can be of use to the benefactor.
Su Muyao’s expression shifted as some realization struck her, causing her heart to skip a beat.
She was just contemplating investigating the secrets behind the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, to learn what mines they were excavating.
If they were to recklessly enter the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s mining area, they’d easily be discovered.
No matter how deeply hidden, discovery is a possibility.
Because the Ant Beastman have two strands of hair different from other beastmen, which allows them to easily identify the presence of outsiders.
If Mao Xize truly has this ability, he could indeed be helpful.
Su Muyao concentrated her mind, pondering whether to utilize Mao Xize.
Honestly, she does not fully trust Mao Xize.
Simply put, they have just met, and she wasn’t familiar with the Cat Beastmen before.
Mao Xize, seeing Su Muyao hesitate, understands that his ability must be useful to her.
"Benefactor, if you’re uncertain, the Point Contract can be used for restraint."
Within the Taixu Secret Realm, the rules are rather chaotic, and Heavenly Dao Consciousness might not be applicable.
But Point Contracts can completely restrain a person.
Su Muyao spoke: "I’ll consider it first. If needed, I’ll come to find you."
She wants to discuss further with Yue Wuhen and the others.
Also, they do not wish to expose their actions to others.
"Let’s exchange the items at the market first."
Mao Xize nodded, and joined with the Cat Beastmen to enter the market.
Entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Treasures, everyone must pay a Crystal Stone, which is the fee for accessing the market.
Once inside, the market became exceptionally lively.
No disputes occurred, everyone found a spot to set up a stall and displayed the items they brought from the tribe.
Many beastmen were browsing the market.
They were browsing the market as well.
Su Muyao curiously looked at one thing and then another.
Shen Ci’an spoke: "This reminds me, back when we were at the Beiluo Tribe, accompanying the wife to set up a stall in Yunxiao City."
"Truly nostalgic of those times."
The innocent statement by Shen Ci’an darkened Yue Wuhen’s eyes slightly.
His past regret stems from not being at Su Muyao’s side at that time.
Now, despite Yue Wuhen’s quiet demeanor, he silently accompanies Su Muyao, seemingly making up for lost time.
Seeing Su Muyao’s gaze fall upon an accessory stall, Yue Wuhen stepped forward and asked: "Do you like it?"
"If you like, buy it all."
Shen Ci’an and Mei Qingchen also wished to buy something for their wife.
However, Su Muyao shook her head and said: "No need, just browsing."
Going shopping doesn’t necessarily mean buying.
However, she discovered the accessories here are indeed quite exquisite, crafted from various stones and even polished beast bones, looking quite beautiful.
Some are decorated with petals and vegetation.
While Su Muyao was examining these items, Shen Ci’an used his superpower to transmit a message: "Someone is secretly watching us; be cautious."
Su Muyao’s eyes moved, and she replied with a Secret Technique transmission: "I sensed it from the start; could it be the Treasure Pavilion people?"
She also asked the system: "System, have you detected anything?"
