“Oh, both my parents are wild boars, so even though I haven’t shifted into beast form, I’m definitely a boar too.”
“Uh… a wild boar, huh. So between you and a tiger, who’s got better hearing?”
Holly looked puzzled. “We’re different. We pick up danger super fast. Tigers? They hunt. If you really want a comparison, tigers and lions are stronger.”
Annelise wrenched her hand free from Holly’s and stepped into the middle of the trees, just a few meters from the pond. She said, “Then stop moving. You’ve been tricked. Chief made sure you heard that on purpose to lure me here.
“Wait-what?” Holly hadn’t fully processed it yet when she noticed the pond was already crawling with snakes.
This place was definitely a goldmine. Even in the dead of winter, the pond didn’t freeze, and snakes continued to swim. Perhaps the temperature here remained steady throughout the year, which was why snakes could survive in it.
Annelise had been here countless times. Usually the snakes were scattered around the pond. or swimming lazily. Today, they were packed together, all facing outward toward her and Holly, flicking their tongues and hissing. That was clearly an attack.
“Who’s… controlling the snakes?” Annelise asked, and it was like they answered her. The moment she heard the flute, they lunged. Snakes started dropping from the trees in huge numbers.
Holly screamed, “Ahhh! Th-this… snakes falling from the trees? Who can handle this? Where’s my mate?”
Annelise shoved her forward. “Screaming won’t help. It looks like the chief is ready to sacrifice even you. I’m the target. She wants me dead.”
They turned to run and saw a long pathway ahead, already wrapped with snake after snake. They twisted over each other, hung from the trees, forming a natural snake barricade.
Anyone trying to get through would take dozens of bites, and that was on the low end.
They didn’t have any snake-repelling herbs with them. A few dozen venomous bites and they’d be done for in no time.
Holly reached out and grabbed Annelise’s hand. She said, “Hey, I’m a wild boar after all. Want me to carry you and just barrel through? Wild boars pack a punch. Maybe I can break through that snake wall.”

Annelise looked at Holly and thought to herself. Oh man, with our lives on the line, should I be praising her or just call her completely reckless?
“No, girl, clearly someone’s pulling the strings. You get that, right?”
“Uh… you just said that.”
“Exactly. I’ve said it all already, so what are you planning to charge at? If you take me along, there’s going to be a wall of snakes waiting. You might make it through the first layer, but will you make it through the second? Forget it.” Annelise even had this nagging thought that someone must have been countering her. It made sense why they would choose snakes.
With other savage beasts blocking the way, she could’ve used her pin to hit pressure points. But now, with this many snakes, one pin wouldn’t cut it.
Suddenly, Annelise’s eyes lit up. “Holly, you said you don’t have a beast form, but your beast aura is already active, right?”
Holly was swatting and kicking at the snakes while tilting her head back, hoping the long snakes wouldn’t fall onto her neck. She answered, “Yeah, it’s basically a beast soul. When females hit around twenty-five, our spirit energy can nearly take the shape of a savage beast. We just can’t transform fully. Check this out.”
Holly tensed, and above her head appeared the phantom of a massive wild boar. But the beast soul snarled at the snakes, and the snakes didn’t flinch. “Annelise, you gotta think fast. My skin’s thick. Even with all these snakes, I can hold on for a bit. But you… What are you gonna do?”
Annelise glanced at the beast soul of the wild boar. For some reason, she felt a thrill. The pink snout, the white fur, those big tusks pressed near her nose-it made Holly kind of cute. She muttered, “Oh no, I even wanna touch the wild boar.”
“Hehe, cute, right? Mom says I’m the prettiest wild boar around.”
“Okay, then I wanna form a beast soul too. Can you tell me what it’ll look like? How do I do it?”
“Just focus all your spirit energy on your forehead.”
“Forehead, not the top of my head?” Annelise thought, No wonder Adrian sees it, but nobody else does.
She concentrated and finally felt a little ‘pop’ on her forehead. “Holly, check mine out!”
“Oh my god, I almost died! What a hideous thing. Feral and fanged!”
Annelise’s temples throbbed. Am I really that ugly
