Chapter 231 The First Celestial-Rank Beastman on the Beastman Continent
Chapter 231 The First Celestial-Rank Beastman on the Beastman Continent
Lin Ni suddenly remembered that Xuan and Ling had mentioned before that level nine beastmen and their partners could release the power of the Beast God together to pray to the stone tablet for a level up. She reached out and took Ye's hand, saying to him, "Try releasing the power of the Beast God, let's do it together!"
Ye Hui held Lin Ni's hand. He had just been promoted to a level nine beastman. He closed his eyes for a while before he could feel the power of the beast god within him. He nodded to Lin Ni and said, "I'll give it a try."
Linni slowly released the power of the Beast God, without forming various weapons, controlling the power to flow out of her body and connect to Ye's hand.
Ye silently sensed the power of the Beast God within his body. After a while, he managed to control a small amount of the Beast God's power and bring it to his palm. He then forced it out of his body and it touched Lin Ni's red Beast God's power. The two powers slowly merged together.
Yao then spoke up: "Now, Night, let's try again."
Ye glanced at Yao, then raised his head and loudly proclaimed to the Azure Dragon Stele: "In the name of the Azure Dragon, I swear: I will voluntarily become a guardian beastman of the Rainforest Kingdom, protecting it with my blood, and praying that the Beast God will bless the Rainforest Kingdom with peace and prosperity! May the Beastman Continent prosper!"
After speaking, he used the snake's tail to slash his right wrist, flicking the blood away once more. The blood landed on the stone tablet, which finally emitted a bluish light again, and the blood disappeared within the light. The light from the Azure Dragon Tablet grew brighter and brighter, then it shone upon Ye. Ye connected with the azure light of the Azure Dragon Tablet, and then the light spread outwards, like a series of azure halos, expanding outwards, traversing the various dense forests and bodies of water throughout the rainforest, enveloping thousands of mountains and rivers, until it enveloped the entire rainforest. The vast cursed land behind the small hill vanished before everyone's eyes.
In the azure light, Ye released Lin Ni's hand and transformed back into his beast form beside her. The silver snake, originally over thirty meters long, had grown to over forty meters, and was still growing. The nine bright green rhombuses on his back spread out like an ink painting, fading and disappearing completely. His nearly hundred-meter-long body was also tinged with a pale azure. Two small antlers, like those of a deer, sprouted from Ye's head, but no legs grew on his body. Was this a transformation into a dragon?
The vibrant blue energy of the Azure Dragon Stele rippled outwards in waves, lasting for half an hour.
After the light from the Azure Dragon Stele faded, Ye transformed back into human form and opened his eyes. His shoulder-length silver-gray hair had grown longer, becoming somewhat shawl-like, and its color had turned a pale blue with a silvery sheen. Even his gray pupils had turned a dark blue, and his features had become more like those of an Easterner. Furthermore, the thick chest hair he rarely wore had disappeared—it must be said, he now perfectly matched Lin Ni's aesthetic standards.
Lin Ni saw that the black nine-character mark on Ye's forehead, which originally represented his rank, had transformed into a blue ancient character, "Heaven." He also exuded an ancient yet powerful aura. A flash of blue light crossed Ye's eyes. He suppressed his powerful aura, turned around, and pulled Lin Ni into his arms, saying, "Lin, I have become a Heavenly Rank Beastman!"
Linni hugged him tightly. He looked different now, and she was a little unaccustomed to it, but he was definitely more handsome than before. Linni pushed him away: "Ye, how are you feeling now?"
Ye smiled smugly and said, "I think it's great!"
Lin Ni glanced at Ye several more times. Hmm, the more she looked at Ye, the more she liked him. He was really handsome!
At this moment, Yangzi, the leader of the Eastern Tribe, suddenly asked, "These are the guardian beastmen of our Rainforest Kingdom? Are these the legendary Celestial Beastmen?"
Linni and Ye turned to look at Yangzi and the others. Ye's success relieved Linni; thankfully, her guess was correct. If it hadn't worked, she wouldn't know what to do. Linni quickly gathered her thoughts and said loudly to everyone, "As you all saw, the Azure Dragon Stele has been activated, and the guardian beastmen have returned to their positions. The Rainforest Marshland is the habitat of most cold-blooded beastmen, so it's reasonable that the guardian beastmen are serpent beastmen who evolved from snake beastmen. The guardian beastmen need to activate the guardian stele with their blood every so often to dispel the evil aura and cleanse the evil thoughts in the beastmen's hearts. The Rainforest Marshland is teeming with evil thoughts because of the lack of guardian beastmen, resulting in so many wandering beastmen. Now, I hope everyone can sincerely pray to the Beast God so that he may descend upon the Beastman Continent again, bringing peace and happiness back to the continent."
At Linni's urging, everyone spent the morning praying for the Beast God and the Azure Dragon Stele, and then slowly left.
Yangzi, along with several orcs from the Eastern Tribe and Chong and Sheng, came to find Linni. Chong asked, "Beast God's Messenger, what do you plan to do next?"
Yangzi also asked, "What should we do to make the Beast God descend again?"
Lin Ni was also a bit overwhelmed with thoughts. She said to everyone, "We've been traveling for several days. Let's rest for a few days at the Qinglong Stele. I need to calm down and think things through. I'll tell you all later, okay?"
Having just witnessed the awakening and activation of the Azure Dragon Stele, no one dared to speak ill of this messenger who could communicate with the Beast God. The leading beastmen nodded in agreement and dispersed. Since they were going to stay here for a few days, Yangzi, as the tribal chief, had to show some respect to the Beast God's messenger. So, Yangzi, Chong, and Sheng all went hunting without prior arrangement.
Don't even mention that Lin Ni now has a Heavenly Rank expert and five Level 9 beastmen protecting her; just her performance under the Azure Dragon Stele alone would have deterred any beastman from doing anything to her. To disrespect the Beast God's envoy under the guardian stele? She simply doesn't have the guts.
Linni returned to the treehouse with her eight companions. As soon as they entered, Ye hugged Linni tightly and kissed her passionately. Linni pushed Ye away several times because she felt pain in her lips before he released her and then sat down at the table with her in his arms.
Linni leaned against Ye's chest, panting heavily.
Ye rested her chin on Lin Ni's shoulder and asked, "Lin, I look different now. Will you not like me anymore?"
Linni pushed his chin away, cupped his face in her hands, and said, "No, you're even more handsome than before, and I like you even more now."
Ye asked in surprise, "Really?"
Linni nodded: "Of course it's true."
After she finished speaking, she looked up and kissed his lips again. Ye's lips were now a bit darker, no longer as pale as before, and he looked much better.
