Chapter 776: Chapter 780: The Third Test 13
Gaiyin’s face suddenly turned grave.
In just an instant, he had figured out why he couldn’t transform into his beast form.
"It’s those white pearls."
When he had just come in, he had been so excited about seeing so much sand that he had transformed.
Except when those white pearls first appeared, he had accidentally burst one.
The rest of the time, he was just like the others, not doing anything; the water they drank was all condensed using their superpowers.
Upon closer consideration and comparison, it was indeed only him who had burst a pearl, which was different from the others.
With this reminder from Gaiyin, Su Tang also remembered.
She frowned slightly, "So do we still need to collect the liquid inside the white pearls? After all, touching them prevents us from transforming ..."
It wasn’t clear how much that would affect them.
If this test was like the previous one, then whether they could transform or not was not important.
But if it involved fighting, beast transformation was crucial for the Beastmen.
Gaiyin contemplated for a few seconds and then finally nodded his head.
"Let’s go. Xi can’t transform on land, so he’ll gather with us. Yadang and Xi’en should avoid touching those white pearls for now."
Beastmen could unleash their full strength by transforming.
The inability to transform was merely a limitation, not indicative of them being weaklings.
Moreover, for those Beastmen who tended to be herbivorous, like Xi’en.
His beast form might not even be as powerful as his human form.
Xi would have been unable to transform due to his terrestrial restrictions. If he were in water, even if he lost his superpower, his beast form would still make him a formidable opponent.
Once the arrangements were made, they all headed towards the Barrier at the edge.
Although the metal bucket was not heavy, it was voluminous and troublesome to carry, so Gaiyin put it away, allowing everyone to travel light.
As they ventured forth, they found that all the nearby white pearls had been thoroughly collected by other Beastmen.
The sand was tousled messily, full of pits and bumps everywhere.
Unhindered by the white pearls, Su Tang and the others moved swiftly.
However, not long after, they ran into a group of Beast Soldiers collecting white pearls.
The pearls weren’t big but there were so many of them that they needed something to hold them in.
So these Beast Soldiers took off their Beast Skin Clothes, haphazardly wrapped the white pearls inside, collecting them while occasionally bursting a few to quench their thirst.
Seeing Su Tang and the others approaching, everyone wore a vigilant look on their faces.
They held the bundled pearls close to their chests as if afraid that they would be snatched away.
Seeing this, Yadang smirked quietly, not slowing his pace at all.
As he passed a scrawny Beastman, Yadang made a feint with his foot, making his body lean towards the smaller man.
The Beastman, already frightened that his pearls would be stolen.
This sudden movement from Yadang scared him out of his wits!
The stress and the sudden scare caused his arms to unconsciously tighten, resulting in a crunching sound.
"Crack..."
A faint breaking sound could be heard.
The Beastman’s face stiffened as he quickly bowed his head to check.
Indeed, he didn’t know how many pearls had broken, but at this moment water was trickling down the Beast Skin.
Beastman: "····"
He lifted his head in annoyance, ready to argue.
However, when he found the culprit, who was grinning from ear to ear, his distance from him was increasing.
Beastman: "!!!"
So infuriating!
