Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 452 - 449: Totem

Su Muyao was worried about Xiao Jihan, so she quickly stepped forward and saw such a scene.

For some reason, she always felt like the snakes were real.

The snake tails were intertwined with the snake heads on another stone pillar, forming a circular posture of guardianship.

Their snake heads were facing downward as if quietly observing the intruder.

Moreover, at the very center of the encircled stone pillars was a platform where a Snake Beastman stood on it, her right hand holding a scepter, with snake-pattern totem adornments on her clothes, seemingly presiding over a sacrificial ritual.

In her left hand, she held a round object, inscribed with dense symbols, slightly blurred due to its age.

The statue’s facial features were gentle, yet lacked specific features, as if deliberately erased.

Su Muyao looked closely, and even though she could see clearly, at the blink of an eye, the features of this sculpture blurred in her mind once again.

The sculpture of the Snake Beastman was so lifelike that if it hadn’t been motionless, she would have thought it was a living creature.

At that moment, she even felt it might come to life.

The wind passed through the cracks of broken walls, stirring up fallen leaves from the ground, producing a gentle "hissing" sound, resembling the voice of a snake flicking its tongue.

Su Muyao felt like she was hallucinating.

She looked at Xiao Jihan and said: "Jihan, did you hear anything strange?"

Xiao Jihan listened carefully for any sound and indeed heard nothing, shaking his head, he said: "There were no strange sounds, just the sound of the wind."

"Wife, what’s wrong?"

"It doesn’t feel right."

"But these abandoned buildings do resemble a temple."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao’s expression changed: "Temple?"

"Does the temple have snake sculptures carved on it?"

Whether on the Mortal Beast Continent or the Cang Beast Continent, she knew the temples were dedicated to ancient Beast Gods.

These Beast Gods were revered by all and were totems of major tribes, never had she heard of a Snake Beastman temple.

Xiao Jihan gently touched the stone pillar above, carefully observing the surrounding stones, and whispered: "This building is very ancient, severely eroded by wind and sand."

"I observed the surrounding stones, none had any textual inscriptions, only these star symbols."

"More than a hundred thousand years ago, simple written records existed instead of these star symbols."

Listening to Xiao Jihan’s words, Su Muyao’s expression changed: "You mean this Snake Beastman temple comes from a more ancient time."

Xiao Jihan focused, nodding, "Perhaps in a more ancient time, there existed traditions of which we are unaware."

"Back then, Beastmen might have revered and worshipped Snake Beastmen."

"The Snake Beastman in the center seems like a Snake Witch of the Snake Clan."

"In the awakened ancestral memory, I vaguely felt, during the most primitive tribal living era, many large tribes had their own Beast Witches who could communicate with the heavens and guide the tribe’s development."

Su Muyao listened, pondering, her mind stirred.

Xiao Jihan held up a torch continuing to observe the surroundings.

Upon discovering something, he said to Su Muyao: "Wife, come and have a look."

Su Muyao walked over, seeing a totem-like pattern on the nearby abandoned stone wall.

"Wife, see this should be an ancient snake totem."

"Indicating a tribe once worshipped a certain type of snake."

Su Muyao observed closely; the totem above resembled a snake connected head to tail forming a circle, with a sun symbol in the center.

This was very strange.

Her mind stirred, always feeling as if she had touched upon the secrets of ancient Beast World ancestors.

She and Xiao Jihan continued to observe and search.

They found several broken stones, piecing them together, discovered a carved image.

It was numerous Beastmen kneeling on the ground, worshipping the snake totem.

And at the center was the Snake Beastman conducting the sacrificial ritual.

Witnessing this scene, Su Muyao again looked at the Snake Beastman in the middle of the stone pillars.

Whether it was an illusion or not, at this moment, the Snake Beastman’s eyes seemed to light up with a gleam precisely meeting Su Muyao’s gaze.

And then Su Muyao seemed to plunge into hallucination.

Before her eyes, another scene appeared as if it changed.

Before her, it turned into a lush forest, birds chirping, flowers fragrant, grasses vibrant, with rows of wooden houses.

These wooden houses formed circular structures extending outward. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Her ears were filled with joyous laughter.

Many Beastmen were busy in the tribe.

Many smaller Snake Beast cubs not fully transformed ran around laughing, smiles on everyone’s faces.

"Hurry, the hunting team is back, this time they caught a lot of prey, with the rainy season coming, no one will go hungry."

"With lots of prey caught, other tribes will come borrow food from us."

"Our Snake Tribe’s Snake Witch is formidable, our warriors of the Snake Tribe are formidable too, with lots of prey caught, naturally we must help weaker tribes."

"Granny Jiang, why do Beastmen of other tribes appear stronger than our Snake Beastmen but catch less prey."

"Because we have the Snake God’s protection, our Snake Tribe females have strong fertility, males brave and good at fighting catching plenty of prey, our tribe is also the strongest tribe..."

"I know, I know; many males from other tribes want to marry Sister Jiang, but Sister Jiang and others only wish to be with males from our tribe."

"Of course, this way, our bloodline remains pure, our strength won’t diminish..."

Listening to this, Su Muyao’s expression changed.

In this way, Snake Beastmen were so welcomed here.

Su Muyao’s vision followed the scene changes.

She saw a Snake God Temple built in the back mountain of the Snake Tribe, with various Beastmen bringing food to worship in front of the Snake God Temple, praying for the Snake God’s protection.

Looking at the stone pillars in front of the Snake God Temple, Su Muyao’s heart stirred like ocean waves.

However, at this time, the stone pillars had no snake carvings, just plain stone pillars.

Beastmen of the Snake Tribe seemed to use these stone pillars to observe solar stars, record time, weather changes, and the arrival of the rainy season.

She also saw some powerful male Beastmen fiercely pursuing females of the Snake Tribe.

Female of other races wished to marry warriors of the Snake Tribe, even granting the position of first Beast Husband.

Here, she saw everyone particularly revered the Snake Tribe.

In the eyes of Beastmen from other tribes, Snake Beastmen bloodline was more noble, possessing wisdom and power.

No Beastman held contempt towards Snake Beastmen.

Also, here, Insect Beastmen and other Beastmen coexisted harmoniously.

Everyone lived in their respective tribes.

Centered around Snake Beastmen tribes, all major tribes peacefully developed, having minor friction, all major tribes would seek out the Snake Witch to preside over justice.

The Snake Witch held a high status, skilled in observing the stars for rituals, communication with Beast God, proficient in medicine, and capable of identifying various herbs.

Many Beastmen hurt from hunting or ill, the Snake Witch would heal them using herbs.

Quickly, those wounded and ill Beastmen recovered.

Everyone grew more respectful of the Snake Witch, increasingly believing Snake Beastmen were naturally protected by the Beast God, possessing powerful strength.

Of course, some Beastmen were jealous, with tribes holding little schemes, yet their jealousy was futile.

In the face of absolute strength and power, all their thoughts were useless.
