With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 449 Totem
Su Muyao was worried about Xiao Jihan, so she quickly stepped forward and saw this scene.

For some reason, she always felt that these snakes were real.

The snake's tail connects with the snake's head on another stone pillar, forming a ring-shaped protective posture.

Their snake heads were facing downwards, as if silently watching the intruders.

Moreover, in the very center of these stone pillars, there is a platform where a snake-beastwoman stands, holding a scepter in her right hand. Her clothes are decorated with snake patterns, and she seems to be presiding over a sacrificial ceremony.

In her left hand she held a round object covered with intricate runes, some of which were blurred due to their age.

The statue's facial contours are soft, but it lacks specific features, as if they have been deliberately erased.

Su Muyao looked closely and found that although she could see it clearly, the sculpture's appearance became blurry in her mind in the blink of an eye.

The snake-beast sculpture was so lifelike that, if it weren't completely still, she would have thought it was alive.

Even now, she feels she can come back to life.

The wind whistled through the cracks in the broken walls, swirling up fallen leaves and making a hissing sound, like the flicking of a snake's tongue.

Su Muyao felt like she was hallucinating.

She looked at Xiao Jihan and asked, "Jihan, did you hear any strange noises?"

Xiao Jihan listened carefully to the sound, but heard nothing. He shook his head and said, "There was no strange sound, only the sound of the wind."

"Wife, what's wrong?"

"But something's not right."

"However, these abandoned buildings do resemble temples."

Upon hearing these words, Su Muyao's expression changed, and she asked, "The temple?"

Are there snake sculptures carved in the temple grounds?

Whether on the Mortal Beast Continent or the Azure Beast Continent, the temples she knew of were dedicated to ancient beast gods.

These beast gods are all worshipped and revered by the people, and are also the totems of various tribes. There has never been a temple for snake-beastmen.

Xiao Jihan gently touched the stone pillar on it, carefully observed the surrounding stones, and said in a low voice, "This building is very old and has been severely eroded by wind and sand."

“I examined the surrounding stones and found no inscriptions, only these star symbols.”

“Simple runic records existed more than 100,000 years ago, not these star symbols.”

As Su Muyao listened to Xiao Jihan's words, her expression shifted, and she said, "You mean this snake-beastman temple comes from a much earlier time?"

Xiao Jihan nodded intently, "Perhaps in the distant past, there were customs and traditions that we are unaware of."

"At that time, the orcs may have admired and worshipped the snake orcs."

"The snake-beastman in the very center looks like a snake shaman from the snake clan."

"In fact, in my awakened ancestral memories, I vaguely felt that in the most ancient tribal communal era, many large tribes had their own beast shamans who could communicate with heaven and earth and guide the direction of the tribe's development."

Su Muyao listened to these words thoughtfully, her mind stirring with their thoughts.

Xiao Jihan continued to observe the surroundings while holding a torch.

As if he had discovered something, he said to Su Muyao, "My lady, come and take a look."

Su Muyao walked over to take a look and saw a pattern resembling a totem on the abandoned stone wall next to her.

“My lady, look, this should be an ancient snake totem.”

"This indicates that a tribe once worshipped a certain type of snake."

Su Muyao looked closely and saw that the totem on it was like a snake with its head and tail connected to form a circle, with a sun symbol in the very center.

This is very strange.

A thought struck her, and she felt as if she had touched upon the secrets of the ancient beastmen.

She and Xiao Jihan continued their observation and search.

They also found several broken stones, which, when pieced together, formed a carved picture.

Countless orcs knelt on the ground, worshipping the snake totem. In the very center, the snake-orcs were performing a sacrificial ceremony.

Seeing this, Su Muyao looked again at the snake-beastman in the middle of the stone pillar.

Whether it was an illusion or not, at that moment, the snake-beastman's eyes seemed to light up, and he met Su Muyao's gaze.

Then Su Muyao seemed to fall into a hallucination.

It was as if another scene appeared before her eyes.

The scene before my eyes seemed to change, transforming into a lush, verdant forest, filled with birdsong, fragrant flowers, vibrant grasses, and rows of wooden houses.

These wooden houses form a circular structure that extends outwards.

Laughter and cheerful voices could still be heard.

Many orcs were busy in the tribe.

Many of the smaller snake-beast cubs had not yet fully transformed into human form; they ran and played, and everyone's faces were filled with bright smiles.

"Hurry up, the hunting party is back. They caught a lot of game this time. With the rainy season coming, everyone won't go hungry."

"If we hunt too many animals, other tribes will come to us asking for food."

“Our snake tribe’s snake shamans are powerful, and our snake tribe’s warriors are also powerful. We hunt a lot of prey, so naturally we should help the weaker tribes.”

"Grandma Jiang, why do the orcs from other tribes, who look stronger than us snake orcs, hunt so few prey?"

"Because we are protected by the Snake God, the females of our snake tribe are highly fertile, and the males are brave and skilled in battle, able to hunt enough prey. Our tribe is also the most powerful tribe..."

"I know, I know. Many males from other tribes want to marry Sister Jiang and her group, but unfortunately, Sister Jiang and her group only want to be with the males from our tribe."

"That's natural. Only in this way can our bloodline remain pure and our power not be weakened..."

Su Muyao's expression changed upon hearing these words.

It seems that snake-beastmen are quite popular here.

Su Muyao's gaze followed the changing scenes.

She saw that a snake god temple had been built in the mountains behind the snake tribe, and various other beastmen would bring food to the snake god temple to worship and pray for the snake god's protection.

Looking at the stone pillars in front of the Snake God Temple, Su Muyao felt a surge of emotions.

At this time, the stone pillars did not have snake carvings; they were just plain stone pillars.

The orcs of the snake tribe seem to have used these stone pillars to observe the sun and stars, record time, weather changes, and the arrival of the rainy season.

She also saw some powerful male orcs aggressively pursuing females from the snake tribe.

Females from other races also want to marry male warriors from the snake tribe as their beast husbands, and even for the position of the first beast husband.

Here, she saw that everyone held the snake tribe in high esteem.

In the eyes of other orc tribes, the snake-orc bloodline is more noble, possessing both wisdom and strength.

No orc discriminates against snake orcs.

Moreover, the insectoid beastmen get along relatively well with other beastmen here.

Everyone lives in their respective tribes.

The various tribes centered around the snake-beastmen tribes also developed peacefully. When there were minor conflicts, the tribes would come to the snake shaman to seek justice.

The snake witch held a high position. She was not only skilled in stargazing and rituals and communicating with the beast god, but also in medicine and could identify various herbs.

Many orcs are injured or fall ill while hunting, and the snake shaman will use herbs to heal them.

Soon, the injured and sick orcs will recover.

People have grown to respect the snake shaman more and more, and believe that the snake beastmen are born under the protection of the beast god and possess great power.

Of course, some orcs were jealous, and some tribes harbored ulterior motives, but there was nothing they could do about their jealousy.

Faced with absolute power and strength, all their ideas were useless.
