Chapter 268 A New Beginning
They carefully made their way back to the cave along the winding path, each step as light as a feather, afraid of making the slightest sound to disturb the others.
Outside the cave, these people had a quiet discussion and reached a consensus—to not reveal their special abilities to the public for the time being.
Although the tribespeople have always trusted one another, the so-called "miracle" bestowed by the chief this time was far too powerful and astonishing.
They were deeply shocked by that extraordinary power, and at the same time realized that once exposed, it would likely lead to unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, everyone secretly resolved to keep this secret and never let a single word of it leak out.
When they finally stepped into the cave, it was completely silent, with only the faint firelight casting flickering shadows on the stone walls.
The group silently walked to their familiar corners and quietly returned to their respective seats.
However, though things appeared calm on the surface, a storm was brewing beneath.
Sen quietly walked to the earthen bed where Ruan Mianmian was and slowly sat down.
His gaze appeared calm as still water, but a storm was brewing within his heart.
He originally thought that he had only gained a normal power boost, but he never expected that today he would unexpectedly develop a completely new power!
This sudden change made him both excited and nervous.
At this moment, the "atavism" phenomenon that the female had mentioned to him earlier involuntarily came to mind.
At this thought, his heart instantly burned with passion, as if a flame was burning in his chest...
The next morning, the sun was already high in the sky, but the cave was still quiet. The beastmen, who were used to getting up early, were still sound asleep.
It turned out that they were so excited last night that they couldn't fall asleep, which caused them to all wake up late this morning.
Miyue slowly woke up, rubbed her eyes, and turned to look at Yong beside her.
For some reason, she felt that Yong looked different today than usual, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.
Just then, Yuya slowly opened his eyes under Miyue's gaze.
The moment he opened his eyes, he met Miyue's curious gaze, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
Yong gently sat up, seemingly wanting to embrace Miyue, but in reality, he simply leaned close to Miyue's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "My superpower has been upgraded, but don't tell anyone about it. Just keep it to yourself." After saying that, he truly hugged Miyue tightly.
For wolves, absolute loyalty and mutual trust are essential between mates.
Therefore, Yong knew very well that Mi Yue would be able to keenly perceive these changes that were happening to him.
Since that's the case, there's no need to hide this important matter from her.
When Miyue heard Yong's words, she was immediately filled with excitement.
Because she immediately realized that Yong's transformation must be due to the "miracle" bestowed by the leader!
Thinking of this, Miyue couldn't help but feel full of anticipation for the future.
As soon as Ruan Mianmian woke up, Sen noticed.
He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, his mind constantly replaying the topic of atavism that the little female had mentioned earlier.
When the little female finally awoke from her slumber, he could no longer contain his excitement and eagerness, wishing he could immediately display his newly developed magical abilities to her.
"Ruan Ruan, are you awake?" Sen stood quietly outside the tent. Although he was full of anticipation, he was still careful not to rush in. Instead, he asked softly.
A moment later, a soft voice came from inside the tent: "I'm awake, come in." Sen happily stepped inside after receiving permission.
The moment Sen stepped into the tent, Ruan Mianmian's keen eyes immediately noticed the subtle change in him.
Sen appeared to be taller and more upright than before, and his already robust body now looked even more powerful.
Not only that, even the aura he exuded had subtly changed.
"Sen, did you take the pills I gave you?" Ruan Mianmian asked curiously.
With a bright smile on his face, Sen slowly squatted down, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged Ruan Mianmian tightly, his excitement overflowing: "That's right! Ruan Ruan, thanks to the magical pill you gave us, I actually managed to develop an incredibly powerful ice-type ability!"
After he finished speaking, he squatted down in front of the little female, and ice and fire appeared in his hands at the same time.
Ruan Mianmian's eyes sparkled as she reached out to touch the power of ice and fire, but she felt neither cold nor hot.
"Mori, this is wonderful!" she exclaimed sincerely.
Sen said proudly, "Ruan Ruan, with this ability, I will be able to better protect the tribe and take better care of you in the future."
Just then, a commotion broke out outside.
Sen frowned slightly, stood up, and said, "Ruan Ruan, you rest here, I'll go out and take a look."
Sen stepped out of the tent and found that the tribespeople had realized that everyone had overslept and were now reminiscing about yesterday's fireworks.
Sen returned to Ruan Mianmian's tent. "It's alright. They're still amazed by last night's fireworks. We've decided not to talk about our evolved abilities for now, to give everyone a buffer period. After all, there have been just too many surprises lately."
Although Ruan Mianmian knew she had been a bit reckless, she didn't care. She had already done it, and she trusted her people.
"Well, you guys decide for yourselves. By the way, what's the situation with Yong and the others?"
Sen looked at Ruan Mianmian, a tiny little bundle sitting in the tent, and his heart melted.
"Yong must have evolved his superpower. He originally had wind-type superpowers, and last night he evolved wind blades. I saw two deep pits appear on the ground after he used his superpower, so his ability is very strong."
When it came to Yu's superpowers, Mori also expressed his approval.
"Zhi's eyes have changed. You'll see exactly how they've changed when you go out. I don't know what his special ability is called, but he knew what Yong was thinking at the time."
As soon as Sen Yi finished speaking, Ruan Mianmian immediately thought of mind reading.
Zhi's superpower is inherently mental, so it's not impossible that it has evolved into mind reading.
"It's hard to say about Yu's abilities. I've noticed that after the 'miracle,' these abilities seem to have evolved. Yu's is still in the area of sound, but the range is wider and the energy is stronger."
Their superpowers have all evolved and strengthened to varying degrees.
As Ruan Mianmian listened to Sen's story, she was filled with joy. "This is a good thing. Their superpowers have evolved so much. Our tribe will definitely become stronger and stronger."
Sen, however, was somewhat worried. "But the stronger the ability, the more cautious we must be in using it, otherwise it may arouse the covetousness or panic of other tribes."
Ruan Mianmian nodded. "You're right, but we can start with internal training to improve our control."
Just then, Yong walked into the tent and said excitedly, "Chief, I just tested my wind blade, and I can now precisely control its direction and force."
Sen patted Yong on the shoulder, "Good, but keep a low profile."
Zhiye followed him in, his eyes gleaming with a strange light. He looked at Ruan Mianmian and said softly, "Leader, I can now not only read minds, but also briefly influence other people's thoughts."
Everyone was taken aback.
Yu finally stepped into the tent. "My sonic attacks can now cover half of the tribe's territory, and they can even be condensed into a physical attack."
Ruan Mianmian stood up, looking at them with a firm gaze. "Everyone, train hard. Our tribe will surely become the most powerful force on this continent. But until then, we must keep a low profile."
Everyone echoed in agreement.
