Chapter 130 The Oracle of the Beast God
Chapter 130 The Oracle of the Beast God
The two white tigers, now in human form, walked to Lin Ni's side, clearly in a defensive posture, and asked Xuan and Ling, "Can you communicate with the Beast God?"
“No.” Xuan smiled and shook his head. “You don’t need to be so wary of us. We’re here to protect Lin Ni.” He looked at Bai and then said to Lin Ni, “Last summer, we suddenly received a divine message from the Beast God, instructing us to go south to find you and protect you.”
Linni asked curiously, "How did the Beast God issue the divine oracle? What did he say at the time?"
Xuan said, "He meant, 'Go south to find Linni and protect her.'"
Is this all there is to the divine oracle? Everyone looked at the two of them with some confusion. At this moment, the spirit suddenly spoke up and said, "We are not the Beast God, how could we know how he issued the divine oracle?"
Linni glanced at him and sensed that this spirit was a bit unfriendly!
Bai also said to Ling with dissatisfaction, "Lin didn't ask you."
Ling retorted impatiently, "Didn't she just ask me?"
Bai glared at him: "Lin Hexuan was clearly speaking peacefully, you interrupted him, what do you mean by that?"
Ling said matter-of-factly, "Isn't her talking to Xuan the same as talking to me?"
Bai looked him up and down: Could he be two separate beings like himself? Regardless, he was wrong to talk to Lin Ni, so Bai looked at Ling as if he wanted to fight and said, "Don't you think it's a problem for a male to talk to a female like that?"
Ling wanted to speak, but Xuan stopped him, saying, "Don't speak." Then he smiled at Lin Ni and said, "Sorry, he's a bit impatient."
Yao took two steps toward Lin Ni, standing on either side of her with Bai, and then turned to Xuan and said, "You received a divine oracle last summer and traveled from the vast North Sea to the towering cliffs. It took you a whole year?"
Then, an embarrassed expression appeared on Xuan and Ling's faces. Xuan smiled sheepishly and said, "We didn't receive the divine oracle, and we didn't believe it at first! So we delayed our departure for a while. Then winter came, so we hibernated. We continued our journey in the spring. Actually, we've been at Wanren Cliff for a while now. We've been looking for Lin Ni everywhere, haven't we?"
Yan also stood next to Lin Ni: "Then how did you know we were with Lin?"
Ling said, "When we asked you if you knew a female named Linni, the expressions on your and that snake-beastman's faces were very strange, and your eyes were darting around. It was as if you were saying you knew her. Who couldn't tell? Did you think we'd believe that snake-beastman just because he said he didn't know her? Do you think we're blind?"
At this moment, Ye also came out. He and Yan looked at each other, both a little confused: Why are our expressions so strange? (Black guy with a question mark face?)
Linni could only sigh: The orcs of the Orc Continent really don't know how to lie.
Bai suddenly said, "You snake-beastmen all speak equally rudely!"
The snake lashed out at him with its tail: "Who are you talking about!"
The spirit opposite was also swishing its snake tail, but unlike the others, its tail was dark green.
Bai glanced at the two people opposite him, then at Yao and Ye, and suddenly whispered in Lin Ni's ear, "The two people opposite look a bit like Yao and Ye!"
Lin Ni paused for a moment: Similar? But after thinking about it, she realized they were quite similar—not in appearance, but in feeling. Ye and Ling were two snake-beastmen with rather bad tempers, while Yao and Xuan gave off a gentle, refined, and easy-going vibe. However, Yao possessed a gentlemanly demeanor, while Xuan, well, seemed a bit hypocritical! Hmph, trying to imitate her lover, she was still lacking!
Yao smiled and said to Xuan, "If you want to join us, you'd better be honest, otherwise we'll have a hard time trusting you."
Xuan nodded, then said to Lin Ni, "The Beast God's oracle suddenly appeared in my mind. He said, 'Go south to find Lin Ni and protect her.' That's all. We don't know how to make you believe us, but wherever you go, with the Beast God's oracle, we will definitely follow you."
Seeing his sincere expression, Lin Ni didn't say she didn't believe him, but simply nodded. She thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Xuan: "Did you receive punishment from the Beast God for not heeding his divine decree and coming to me in time?" Otherwise, the spirit wouldn't have sounded so resentful.
Xuan looked a little embarrassed and nodded shyly, "Yes."
"Oh..." So they received the Beast God's decree but ignored it, delaying the process and incurring the Beast God's punishment, which is why they hurriedly set off to find her. She realized she had misunderstood the Beast God; he had brought her here and even assigned her two level-nine experts as bodyguards, but this fallen phoenix was worse than a chicken—these two bodyguards were slacking off and disobeying orders! If she had such powerful people protecting her so soon after arriving, her life would have been much smoother! Thinking this, her impression of the two men turned sour, so she said, "Then you two will guard me outside the cave!"
After Lin Ni finished speaking, she turned and went into the cave.
Bai and Ye followed closely behind. Yao smiled at them and entered the cave with Yan. After all, it was broad daylight, so there was no need to leave anyone to guard the cave entrance.
Linni saw Ye place the two small snakes in a newly made stone tub, so they wouldn't crawl around freely. Linni cut some shredded meat to tease the snakes; with something surrounding them, she didn't have to worry about them climbing on her, and she was having quite a bit of fun playing with them. After playing for a while, she started thinking: If Xuan and Ling were the ones sent by the Beast God, then what about Yao? She had previously thought Yao was the Beast God's messenger, but now it didn't seem like it! There was no reason why a bodyguard could receive a divine message, but a messenger couldn't! She felt like her brain cells were running out!
At lunchtime, everyone sat together eating. Yan lowered his voice and said, "Should we let those two come along?"
Lin Ni knew he was afraid people outside would hear, so she asked in a low voice, "Bai, can you beat them?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai said, "I feel like it's a good idea."
Yao said, "Then you should stay with Lin during this time, and the three of us will take turns hunting." After all, Lin's safety is the most important thing.
Bai nodded and said, "Okay!"
Ye and Yan nodded in agreement with Yao's arrangement.
Ye asked unhappily, "Can't we get rid of them?"
Bai looked at him: "Why don't you give it a try?"
Ye rolled his eyes speechlessly: If he could get rid of them, he wouldn't have let them come back! He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "What two annoying guys!"
Linni was speechless: "Weren't level nine orcs supposed to be rare?" She thought that once her partner reached level nine, she could roam freely across the orc continent. But first, she lost Feng, and now she has two white tigers even more powerful than Feng, and they're still trapped in a cave! What the hell!
Lin Ni's words silenced everyone: "It's rare in towering mountains and steep cliffs, but perhaps it's common in the vast North Sea?"
