Chapter 168 Is the Beast God in the Central Forest?
Is it possible that the Beast God has fallen into slumber because everyone has forgotten about her? Legend has it that gods need the power of faith to become stronger, so shouldn't she try something like that? For example, urging everyone to have more faith in the Beast God?
While Linni was gathering her thoughts, Chang stepped back onto the platform. After quieting everyone down, he announced loudly, "Alright, people of the tribe, now please welcome our most honored guest tonight: the Beast God's Messenger!"
Amidst the cheers and whistles of the beastmen of the Beast Carving Tribe, Linni held Yao's hand tightly and whispered in his ear, "Yao, come up with me."
Yao looked at Lin Ni, hesitating for a moment. Lin Ni pulled him to his feet and said in a firm tone, "You are the phoenix sent by the Beast God to pick me up. You promised to stay with me, the Beast God's messenger, forever, didn't you?"
Yao nodded and followed Lin Ni up to the platform.
As Lin Ni walked, she whispered, "Yao, I'm so nervous. If I can't say it later, you can say it."
Yao squeezed her hand tightly: "It's okay, don't be nervous, think of two tigers."
Linni couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the scene where she loudly sang "Two Tigers" in the Tiger Beast Tribe. It was the first time she had spoken in front of so many people, and she had actually sung such a funny song. Thinking about it now, she was incredibly brave! Thinking of this, she wasn't so nervous anymore.
Linni and Yao climbed onto the platform together. Looking down at the sea of heads gathered around the campfire, all staring intently at them, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably. Yao squeezed her hand again, and Linni gripped it tightly, trying to calm herself under the gaze of a thousand people. She tried not to think about how many people were there; she should just treat it as if she were speaking to Bai and the others! Linni took a deep breath, her gaze landing on the faces of Bai and the other familiar faces, and said loudly, "Hello everyone! I am the legendary Beast God's Messenger!"
All the beastmen present watched her in silence: this beautiful and lovely petite female seemed to possess some kind of magic at this moment. Whether it was the pure white pearls and silver dress that made her look more holy, or it was because of her solemn expression, at this moment everyone felt that she was filled with a noble feeling that was sacred, inviolable, and indecent.
Linni glanced at Yao and then said, "The man next to me is my partner. He is the phoenix, the divine bird sent by the Beast God to pick me up. Together we will complete the mission given to us by the Beast God."
Once the conversation started, Linni began to share her understanding of the situation on the Orcish Continent, based on the information she had previously gathered: "The great and benevolent Beast God, with the assistance of four guardian beasts, protects and blesses the beautiful Orcish Continent, where the orcs of the four directions live peacefully and happily. The four guardian beasts and four guardian stone tablets each guard the four corners of the Orcish Continent. However, the lineage of the guardian beasts of the four directions has been broken! As a result, the evil aura is growing stronger, and more and more cursed lands are springing up everywhere. The Beast God has instructed us to find the guardian orcs of the four directions, and together with them, awaken the guardian stone tablets to dispel the evil aura and cursed lands from the Orcish Continent."
Her words unsurprisingly drew murmurs from the beastmen, who all lowered their heads and whispered their opinions and understandings.
Chang asked loudly from below the high platform, "Our guardian beast of the Ten Thousand Ren Cliff is the Vermilion Bird? Then who is the guardian beastman of the Vermilion Bird Stele?"
Linni looked at Yan and said, "My partner, Yan the Black Eagle Beastman, has already gained the approval of the Vermilion Bird Stele. In the presence of the people of the Eagle Beast Tribe and the Falcon Beast Tribe, the Vermilion Bird Stele blessed him, and he has also risen from level eight to level nine! I firmly believe that as long as he accumulates more experience over time, he will definitely become a legendary Heavenly Rank Beastman and a qualified Guardian Beastman!"
Everyone looked at Yan, who clearly rarely received so much attention. He smiled nervously at the people around him.
Chang then asked, "What about the towering mountains? You came from the tiger-beast tribe in those towering mountains. What are those guardian stone tablets? Who are the guardian beastmen there?"
Linni was terrified he would ask her: "Have you activated the guardian stele of the towering mountains?" She was incredibly relieved he hadn't asked that. Linni smiled at everyone and said, "The four guardian stele protecting the Beastman Continent are: the Azure Dragon Stele of the East, the Vermilion Bird Stele of the South, the White Tiger Stele of the West, and the Black Tortoise Stele of the North." She then fixed her gaze on Bai, "The guardian beastman of the towering mountains is my partner: the White Tiger Beastman Bai, who is also the last remaining White Tiger Beastman on the Beastman Continent."
Bai stood up triumphantly, waved to everyone, then transformed into two large white tigers, roared, and then turned back into human form.
Linni: That's so childish!
However, Bai's transformation obviously aroused suspicion among all the beastmen on the mountaintop. No one had ever seen a white tiger, let alone two tigers that could merge into one human form.
Chang glanced at Bai, Xuan, and Ling, then asked loudly, "What about the guardian beastmen of the Azure Dragon Stele? We've never heard of Azure Dragon beastmen." He then looked at Ye, since the males beside Lin Ni all had prestigious identities: their first partner was the divine bird Phoenix, their fourth partner was the guardian beastman of the White Tiger Stele, their fifth partner was the guardian beastman of the Vermilion Bird Stele, and their future partners, Xuan and Ling, were guardian beastmen of the Black Tortoise Stele (in any case, on the beastman continent, a single beastman with a female was basically considered her partner, and it was only a matter of time before they were paired up). What about their second partner? He asked directly, "Are Azure Dragons the snake beastmen?"
Lin Ni looked at Ye and said, "The Azure Dragon is a divine beast. The bloodline it inherited may have changed, just like the bloodline inherited by the Vermilion Bird divine beast. It may be a snake, a dragon, or even a carp."
Lin Ni's words stirred anticipation within Ye as well: everyone else was so powerful, possessing special identities, and all at level nine, while he was nothing, only at level eight. Ye clenched his fists tightly. He didn't crave glory, but he wanted to become stronger so he could better protect her, so he could be worthy of her identity as the Beast God's Envoy.
No one had ever heard of the Jiao Beastman, but that didn't stop them from understanding what she meant.
Linni continued, "We need to go to the Azure Dragon Stele to confirm if he is the guardian beastman. But no matter how dangerous the Rainforest is, we will go. Activating the Azure Dragon Stele is a mission given to me by the Beast God."
"The mission entrusted to you by the Beast God?" they whispered among themselves.
