Manggus

This scene made the gamblers' eyes twitch.

As the thief was thrown out of the door, the noble lady walked forward. The gamblers made way for her in a panic, for fear of touching the corner of her clothes.

If they were misunderstood, they might lose their lives.

The noble lady looked up at the papyrus pasted on the wall of the gambling den and said, "Interesting. Since I'm here, I'll take a gamble too."

Just as the manager was about to speak, he saw the mysterious noble lady clap her hands, and another female Amazon warrior came in with a wooden box.

There were actually two of them?

The manager had roughly guessed the identity of this noble lady. There was only one noble lady in Talantum who could be equipped with such luxurious bodyguards.

The only daughter of the current emperor, Princess Lana!

The female Amazon warrior opened the wooden box and scattered the silver coins inside onto the table.

The sound of coins being poured could be heard, and the silver coins reflected the light and piled up into a small mountain on the table.

When the gamblers saw this scene, their mouths were wide open, and some of them did not even realize that their saliva had dripped onto their robes.

What a huge sum of money this was!

The next moment, they found out the amount of this huge sum of money.

"1,000 silver coins. I bet that Bull Butcher will win!"

...

On the other hand, Lin Lei had just woken up.

Yesterday, he had spent the entire night tormenting the Ancestral God and finally managed to get him to speak.

"You've already reached your limit by accepting the fox's bloodline. Your body won't be able to take it if you awaken any other powers."

After hesitating for half a day, he finally heard the Ancestral God change his tone. Lin Lei immediately and shamelessly began to take advantage of the situation.

"If I can't get an inheritance, then can you give me one or two divine artifacts? If you can't, a semi-divine artifact will do too."

"Hehe." The Ancestral God sneered."I can give it to you, but do you dare to take it?

"The divine artifact is hanging on the pillar over there. You can try to take it.

"Don't blame me for not warning you when you die."

Lin Lei, after hearing this, did not dare to touch it.

He could only continue to plead with the Ancestral God. "But I really can't do it with the Fox's Assault. I'm afraid you already know that I'm going to fight a giant.

"If you can help me, I'll definitely rebuild the temple for you when I get out.

"When the time comes, I'll get a few hundred young boys and girls to sing hymns to you every day."

"Forget it. With the current number of orcs, where are you going to find me a few hundred worshippers?" the Ancestral God said disdainfully. 

"If there aren't enough orcs, I can find humans." Lin Lei's words caused the Ancestral God to fall silent.

"Will humans believe in me? I'm the god of the orcs."

The Ancestral God's words were filled with doubt.

"Why not? Anyway, the people of Talantum don't just believe in one god, so there's no problem in them believing in you.

"Could it be that you're worse than the gods of Talantum?"

This sentence infuriated the Ancestral God. He roared, "You're talking nonsense!

"That bunch of young boys hasn't even lived for a thousand years. Do you think I'm worse than them?!"

As the Ancestral God roared, Lin Lei felt as though he was being submerged by something.

The air was as thick as honey, and it flowed into his eyes, nose, mouth, and tongue, but the feeling disappeared very quickly.

Just as Lin Lei was about to ask, the Ancestral God said, "Interesting. You actually learned that guy's stuff."

"Which guy?"

As soon as this question arose in Lin Lei's mind, he thought back to the Manggus Breathing Technique he had just learned.

According to the Ancestral God's words, could it be that Manggus was a god?

The Ancestral God's words after that confirmed his thoughts.

"It's that guy, Manggus. Although he's not a god, his combat ability is not bad.

"I even had a fight with that guy." The Ancestral God's tone was filled with reminiscence.

"If it's that guy's inheritance, then there's a way."

The next moment, Lin Lei felt a sharp pain in his head, and suddenly, an image appeared in his mind.

In the image, a giant as large as a mountain was walking on the ground.

The giant's body was pitch-black, and it had 12 heads. Black smoke was coming out of its mouth and nose.

Lin Lei wanted to get a better look, but then he saw one of the giant's heads turn to look at him.

Then, the image disappeared, and an enormous wave of pain swept over Lin Lei, almost causing him to think that he was about to be split apart.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! It hurts..."

Lin Lei began to roll around in the temple.

The Ancestral God's gloating voice could be heard. "Why did you get so close to him? Do you think everyone is as easy to talk to as me?"

Lin Lei rolled around on the ground for a long time before he managed to regain control of his consciousness. When he stood up, he exclaimed, "Huh?"

He felt that his neck was so itchy that he could not stand it. His hand uncontrollably scratched his neck.

Then, a large piece of skin was torn off by him, and a growing tumor suddenly sprang out of his wound.

A moment later, the tumor expanded to the size of a basketball, and facial features began to grow on the surface.

"What..."

Lin Lei felt as though his senses had been split into two. He was sharing his sight, smell, and hearing with this newly-grown tumor, and this feeling was rather uncomfortable.

"I've become a monster?"

The Ancestral God's voice rang out. "Don't take it for granted. That fellow is indeed a monster. However, he's also a monster that can kill gods.

"He probably likes you. You can be considered his descendant. You can be said to be a two-headed Manggus now.

"If you grow more heads in the future, it's not impossible for you to reach his level.

"But the probability of that is very low."

Lin Lei thought back to the image of Manggus. He had 12 heads. Lin Lei's heart could not help but begin to race.

Was that the level of a god?

It was just that this extra head was a little ugly, like an ogre.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped. Wait, could this be the reason for his extra head?

Manggus was actually the god of ogres?

The Ancestral God said, "The ogres are also Manggus' offspring. He can produce tens of thousands of offspring in one go.

"The ogres are just one of the tribes."

"Oh." Lin Lei's reaction was quite cold. In any case, he was not a human anymore, so it did not matter if he became an ogre.

"But when I go back later, how will I explain the two heads?"

"Hehe." The Ancestral God laughed coldly. "Two heads? In your dreams. Right now, only your spiritual body has grown another head. You're still far from a physical mutation.

"When you can really make your body have another head, you can also get an innate spell. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Then what's the use of my mental strength being so impressive?" Lin Lei did not understand.

The Ancestral God explained, "It's not of much use now. At most, it can increase your resistance. It's useful against spells that attack your soul and mind. That's all.

"But the mind and the body affect each other. Your body needs to be further developed now.

"Next, you can awaken a new inheritance."

That was the end of his recollections. Lin Lei clenched his fists, feeling the power hidden within his muscles. He quickly understood what he had awakened this time.

Bear Strength.
