I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 390 - 245: Fearless in the Face of Filth

Has Sela fused with the Stone of Qina?

Seeing this, Rogel was a bit surprised. He quickly exited the auto-explore to look at the game’s screen.

Sure enough, just as described in the game, Sela had now turned into a tall silver-gray giant wolf, with the unique totem of the Qina Race on her forehead.

No, perhaps it should be said that the totem of the Qina Race existed because of Her.

Opposite the giant wolf Qina stood the equally towering brown-haired "Tooth Spirit."

Although the two were similar in size, the impression they gave was completely different.

Compared to the silver-gray giant wolf Qina, "Tooth Spirit" gave Rogel the feeling of a lurking jackal, cruel and sinister.

The most obvious difference lay in their standing posture.

Tooth Spirit stood upright on human-like legs, with somewhat thick upper limbs, but a hunched back, looking just like an old trickster.

The giant wolf Qina, however, stood in the natural stance of a wolf, appearing much more at ease.

Rogel now found himself unable to control his character, "Sela."

Qina and Tooth Spirit were now facing off.

At first, neither spoke; they just stared intently at each other.

The next moment, the two clashed instantly, the screen flashing with sharp light.

Boom—

The surrounding trees suddenly collapsed and shattered, the ground also affected, revealing the rocks beneath.

The two pulled back after their engagement.

Tooth Spirit sneered, lifting a claw, its sharp talons pointing directly at Qina: "Qina, you have become weak, and your claws are not as sharp as they once were!"

"I told you, you’re walking down the wrong path!"

Qina remained very calm, her expression still filled with pride and disdain.

"The power begged for is ultimately just a castle in the air..."

At this, She lowered her head slightly, coldly glaring at the Tooth Spirit before her.

"Not to mention, the power you gained through slaughter, carnage, and deceit..."

"Tooth Spirit, you’re just the same as before; you still prefer to feast on the filthy flesh of corpses, letting filth corrode your fur and soul..."

Hearing Qina’s words, the veins beside Tooth Spirit’s eyes bulged, enraged, as if She had struck a raw nerve.

In other words, She had pierced his defenses.

The two peculiar creatures clashed again, evenly matched.

This time, their words revealed more hidden secrets.

Seeing this, Rogel pondered for a moment before switching back to auto-explore. The game text provided a clearer display.

[The legendary totem symbols burst into intense battle here; they wield unimaginable power, and the aftermath of their fight has wreaked havoc on everything around them.]

[You cannot control your body at the moment, but you become aware of the past secrets of the two totems.]

[It turns out, countless ages ago, Qina Island was a place ruled by numerous giant beasts.]

[Qina and Tooth Spirit belonged to the same race, with many ties, their bloodlines being very thin, ranking at the bottom of the food chain on Qina Island.]

[Qina fought to the death in countless battles, causing her bloodline to grow increasingly powerful.]

[Tooth Spirit, however, barely survived, feeding on the decaying flesh of giant beasts, often licking the remnants of bones.]

[She most often feasted on the leftovers from Qina’s battles.]

[But Qina did not disdain Her for this, instead befriending Her.]

[As time passed, Qina became the ruler of Qina Island through battle, while Tooth Spirit remained weak.]

[The turning point was the emergence of a mysterious artifact on Qina Island that could transform extraordinary life into a spirit of faith, absorb faith as a totem, strengthen its own power, and break the shackles of bloodline.]

[This led to the most brutal war on Qina Island.]

[Qina once again claimed victory, acquiring the mysterious artifact and transforming into a spirit of faith.]

[Tooth Spirit, as usual, partook in the leftovers, and though She did not transform into a spirit of faith, She learned its secrets.]

[However, Qina did not favor this method. She relied on her efforts along the way, considering such external force as nothing but bubbles on a lake.]

[She transformed into the Stone of Qina, intending to forge this power, making it her own, to walk her own path.]

[Tooth Spirit grew jealous and, in a fit of anger, attacked the Stone of Qina, suffering serious injuries herself, and left Qina Island in disgrace.]

[The Stone of Qina bore cracks due to this, causing its power to leak, leading to the birth of the Qina people.]

[Becoming the Qina totem was not Her intention, but to this day, She has no retreat.]

Seeing this, a flash of understanding passed through Rogel’s eyes.

No wonder the Stone of Qina granted the Qina people "blessings"; it was because Tooth Spirit had harmed the Stone of Qina, causing the power leak.

[After leaving Qina Island, Tooth Spirit used the secret knowledge obtained from Qina to establish the Tooth Spirit Church, becoming a totem of faith, quickly gaining immense power.]

[But Her actions were extremely contemptible.]

[She spreads her faith but always deceives her followers with lies to conduct live sacrifices, piling corpses into mountains to serve as her nourishment.]

[This might originate from Her nature, or perhaps from consuming too much rotten flesh, for She had long been unable to turn back.]

"Damn, no wonder Brother Wolf said you were furious about feasting on filthy flesh at the tail of corpses."

Only now did Rogel understand why the giant wolf Qina’s taunt had directly pierced her defenses.

Isn’t this just a pure hyena?

But he quickly frowned again.

After all, according to the general route of development, at this point, the giant wolf Qina should be unable to defeat this filthy hyena.
