[Special Reminders on the Stone Tablet] Third: You can freely change your identity in the Lost Jungle, provided that there is a life willing to exchange identities with you.
At first, Elena couldn't understand the meaning of this reminder, but when she saw her sunflower reflection in the water, she finally understood.
At this moment, "Sunflower" must be her "identity" in the Lost Jungle. And if identities can indeed be exchanged, then the powerful nine-headed snake before her would undoubtedly be the best candidate for the exchange.
Only with such a powerful identity would there be a chance to escape the Lost Jungle!
"Are you... willing to exchange identities with me?"
Danver's gaze narrowed into a vertical line, and his huge body seemed to tremble slightly out of fear.
Elena's lips curled up, but when she was about to use "The Alluring Scent of Flowers" again, she heard her stomach rumble.
Clearly, in her current state, forcing the use of the skill might cause her to faint directly.
But Elena still threatened, "You have no right to refuse, respected fourth head of the nine-headed snake. I believe you should already know my power by now. I can bewitch any life to follow my orders, even if only for a minute. But for this matter of exchanging identities, I think this time is enough for you to nod your head." Elena continued to bluff, "By the way, being controlled is not a pleasant experience. You should know that I'm not a kind sunflower. I always represent the evil camp. So if you don't agree, I'll be very unhappy. And if I'm unhappy, I might control you and make you tear yourself apart first."
Danver gritted his teeth, "How dare you threaten me? Who gave you the courage! Don't you fear that I'll tear you apart first?" "Well, let's see who's faster,"
Elena said confidently, though she was actually very nervous inside. But she still decided to threaten him like this because she knew she still had the pink crystal flower crown that could predict danger to save her life. Given her current level of hunger, she could still use the skill once more, although the consequence might be fainting from hunger.
So she decided to reserve this crucial skill for the life-saving predictive ability rather than rashly using "The Alluring Scent of Flowers" for an uncertain exchange of identities. Fortunately, "I agree, evil little sunflower," Danver suddenly became timid, "Actually, I'm afraid of pain, even just a little bit. Because no one has ever been able to cause me any pain. But you seem to be able to..."
Elena heaved a sigh of relief, her red lips curving up. Afraid of pain? So it's still a rookie...
Anyway, since it agreed voluntarily, there was no need for her to force it!
"So, I'm going to exchange identities with you now," Elena said, and as if guided by a strange intuition, she stretched out her hand.
"I... agree."
Danver's huge eyes flickered, and then he gently moved his massive head and licked her palm with his tongue.
In an instant, Elena felt the world spin and her vision go black.
It was as if she had gone through a cycle of rebirth, or perhaps just a moment.
When she opened her eyes again, she was astonished to find that the grass in front of her had suddenly grown taller than her. And above the tall grass, a giant sunflower like a towering tower, with nine sunflower heads as big as castle doors, was swaying happily in the breeze.
"Who are you..."
Elena looked up, her lips moving in a murmur.
"Ho ho ho ho! How long has it been since such an exciting moment?"
The fourth head of the nine-headed giant sunflower looked down at Elena and laughed wildly.
"Do you know how much I long to be a plant?"
"Because once you become a plant, you no longer have to worry about food. Look!" Danver said, wiggling his thick and dense roots and rumbling into the river.
"Look! Now I just need to stay in the river and I can keep eating. Hahaha! No plant would ever give up its identity. I must have saved the Demon Realm in my previous life to meet a fool like you. Hahaha!"
Elena's face was beyond ugly.
She now realized that the shivering of the nine-headed snake when it heard she wanted to swap identities was not out of fear, but excitement.
At this moment, she couldn't help but run quickly to the riverbank and look at her reflection in the water. There, above the surface, was a pitiful, skinny pink snake with its head sticking out. It turned out that it wasn't the grass that had grown taller, but she had become shorter. Elena looked at the pitiful little snake in the reflection. Hungry as she was, she even wanted to catch herself and roast and eat herself.
At this moment, she suddenly understood - in the Lost Jungle, food was extremely important! Otherwise, even the powerful nine-headed snake wouldn't have gone to such lengths to deceive her to obtain the carefree plant identity.
"Don't get too excited, Nine-Headed Sunflower!" Elena snarled.
"I believe those vicious, strange river turtles in the river will come for you soon to take revenge!"
"Don't worry about me, poor little pink snake. As powerful as I am, even the tree elves can't do anything to me,"
Danver said mockingly and arrogantly.
"Newcomer, remember the important lesson you learned today - in the Lost Jungle, don't trust any life. Hehe! Hahaha..."
Elena gritted her teeth! This old coin, I thought you were just a fledgling!
"But since you gave me such a big gift today, I can be kind enough to give you one more piece of advice,"
the fourth sunflower head - Danver - yawned. Elena glared at it fiercely.
"It's already dusk, and it's about to get dark. I'm going to sleep, and the fifth head - Danfei - will wake up."
Danver sneered and said,
"My advice to you is that you'd better run to a place where I can't see you before my fifth head wakes up. Because 'Old Five' is not as friendly as me. It's very irritable, extremely irritable. It will split open everything it can see without reason. Haha, good luck, poor little pink snake."
Elena clenched her fists.
Unfortunately, in Danver's eyes, he couldn't see her little pink snake's fists, only her gritted teeth. Although Elena was reluctant, she still decided to follow Danver's advice.
After all, she didn't want to risk her life. So she turned around without hesitation and fled, running aimlessly further and further away in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Finally, when the sun completely set, she could no longer see the nine-headed sunflower that looked like a tall tower. She collapsed among the tall grass, panting and in a sorry state, unable to move another step.
At the same time, she felt that if she didn't eat soon, she would surely starve to death.
But unexpectedly, someone else had the same idea. Elena felt a tightness around her waist, as if she had been clamped by a steel vice, and was then easily lifted into the air!
"Ah—"
In her panic, she saw a terrifying face with a big round nose, two dry, lidless big eyeballs, a mouth full of dense teeth, and a face covered in pockmarks.
"Such good luck!"
The little dwarf, who was only twice as tall as the grass and had a terrifying face, bared his dense teeth and cackled.
"Delicious snake, it's our dwarf's favorite food."
Elena trembled.
