Chapter 19 Taking Back the Promise
Looking at Ruan Mianmian's terrified and trembling appearance, the serpent felt an indescribable pain and regret welling up in its heart.
He gazed at the frail and pitiful little female before him, his heart filled with pity for her and self-reproach.
If only I had found her sooner! Then she wouldn't have had to suffer like this.
However, the anaconda completely overlooked a crucial fact: if Ruan Mianmian had obediently stayed in the treehouse and waited for his return, all these misfortunes might never have befallen her.
Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and fate is always full of variables.
It should be noted that on this vast and boundless continent, females are as rare and precious as rare treasures.
In recent years, in particular, the number of newborn orcs has become increasingly scarce, with many tribes not having had an orc born for many years. This situation has caused great concern and worry among the chieftains of many large tribes.
After all, for any orc tribe, its strength depends not only on the combat power of its members, but also on whether the entire tribe can survive and thrive.
When the faint flame that sustains the continuation of life can no longer burn, the hope of future generations becomes as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind. As a result, the tribe that once shone brightly and attracted attention will inevitably embark on an irreversible path of decline until it completely disappears into the long river of history, leaving behind only a tragic and desolate ending.
Nowadays, many tribes with bad character, in order to improve the overall strength of the tribe, have resorted to ruthlessly expelling those cubs who encounter setbacks and fail on their path to advancement.
This cruel act caused a large number of innocent cubs to become homeless wandering beastmen, forced to struggle for survival in the vast wilderness.
These poor little creatures have different fates. The lucky ones may encounter kind-hearted orcs or friendly tribes and be taken in and protected.
However, those unfortunate children often become prey for ferocious beasts at an early age, disappearing in this cruel world.
Gazing at the petite and delicate female before him, a deep hatred for those tribal chiefs who heartlessly abandoned those who failed to advance their ranks welled up within him once more.
Does a single failure in advancing an item mean one is destined to be deprived of the right to live and the possibility of the future?
Recalling that he was once a wandering orc who had failed to advance, but through a sliver of opportunity and tireless effort, he miraculously gained another chance to advance and eventually possessed immense power.
Ruan Mianmian looked at the large snake staring at her without moving, and waved her hand in fear.
"Um, could you turn into human form? I'm a little scared of you like this."
The anaconda realized the little female was talking to him and immediately came to his senses. He asked, "Little female, what are you saying?"
Ruan Mianmian felt a little discouraged when she heard his constant hissing; it was like they were talking past each other.
"System, can you even understand what he's saying?!"
Ruan Mianmian placed her hopes on the system, otherwise she really wouldn't know what this giant snake meant.
"Sorry, host, the system cannot recognize it either."
Hearing the system's words, Ruan Mianmian felt a sense of powerlessness. Was she really going to have to fight the giant snake like this? The problem was that the snake didn't seem to understand what she was saying either.
Seeing Ruan Mianmian's dejected look, the serpent suddenly remembered the Yan fruit he had picked.
He squeezed the fruit out from under the scales on his abdomen and pushed it in front of Ruan Mianmian, gesturing for her to eat it.
Ruan Mianmian was startled by the snake's movements. Could something be hidden under those scales?
When the anaconda saw Ruan Mianmian staring at his abdomen, it couldn't help but stand up and slide down to her so she could take a closer look.
Ruan Mianmian was so frightened by the enormous thing that suddenly appeared in front of her that she lost her mind and her body tilted backward uncontrollably, finally falling heavily onto the cold, hard ground.
"Oh my god!"
She screamed in terror, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at the giant python, which was as tall as a two-story building.
This enormous snake was incredibly large; its thick body was terrifying!
The anaconda clearly realized that its actions had frightened the delicate little female, and it quickly retreated a distance, trying to ease her fear.
Then, it deftly swung its huge tail, carefully rolled up a small fruit, and gently handed it to Ruan Mianmian's hand.
Ruan Mianmian stared wide-eyed at the inconspicuous little fruit in her hand with a face full of suspicion, muttering to herself in confusion, "Is this...is this for me to eat?" as if she were asking the anaconda for confirmation.
Surprisingly, the anaconda seemed to genuinely understand the meaning conveyed by Ruan Mianmian's words and expressions.
Its deep and mysterious eyes gazed at Ruan Mianmian, and it nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Then, it gently coiled Ruan Mianmian's wrist with its cold, slippery snake tail and slowly brought her hand closer to its open mouth.
When the icy, bone-chilling scales inadvertently touched Ruan Mianmian's delicate skin, she involuntarily trembled all over, a chill instantly spreading throughout her body, causing her to shiver.
Forget about being scared at this moment, she quickly put Yan Guo into her mouth and then gently bit it.
A refreshing juice gushed out, a very pleasant sensation. She bit into the peel, thinking that this fruit was quite delicious.
"Little female, can you understand me now?"
When the anaconda saw Ruan Mianmian eat the fruit, it hurriedly came over and asked.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the enormous python in front of her with astonishment, and she said incredulously, "Could it be... that you are communicating with me?"
Her voice was filled with surprise and doubt, as if she were in a bizarre dream.
