Chapter 121 I don't want anything to happen to you again.
That day, Lin Ni felt much better in both spirit and body, so she got out of bed and walked around the cave twice. She then discovered that the white tiger sleeping at the foot of the bed had somehow become two, the black eagle was gone, and for the first time, the night was not in the cave while she was awake.
She walked over to check on the two white tigers and saw that they were both sleeping peacefully. Usually, everyone would gather around when she did anything, but since the incident, the white tigers she'd seen had remained asleep, even now, after she'd been watching them for so long, they hadn't raised their heads to look at her even once. Thinking of this, she panicked and looked up at Yao, who was beside her: "Yao, Bai—"
Seeing the panic and helplessness in her eyes, Yao took her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, he won't die."
Linni breathed a sigh of relief; she really couldn't bear any more blows. But then she looked at Bai with worry: "Then, why has he been sleeping all this time?"
Yao lowered his eyes: "He was seriously injured before, but Yan and Ye couldn't leave for the first few days, so he concentrated his injuries on one tiger beast while the other was out hunting. Now that Ye and Yan's injuries have healed, he has come back to rest. Sleeping will help his injuries heal faster."
Lin Ni felt a pang of sadness. She thought of how Ye had two ferocious beasts biting him when he came out of the cursed land, and how Feng had bitten his tail. No wonder they were always in a cave when they woke up, yet there was always fresh meat and blood. It turned out that Bai had been hunting outside all along. But Bai was clearly the one who was most seriously injured; half of his body had almost been bitten off by Feng.
Just then, Ye's voice came from behind: "Lin, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on going in, none of this would have happened."
Lin Ni turned around and saw Ye and Yan, who had returned sometime earlier. Ye was standing behind her with his head down, looking guilty. Yan's skin was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his arms and thighs were covered with various long and short scars, showing that he had been seriously injured. Lin Ni shook her head at Ye: "You should blame me. It was me who insisted on coming to Wanren Stone Cliff."
Yao spoke up from the side, "No, it was I who suggested you come to the Ten Thousand Cliffs. You don't need to blame yourself. If you really have to blame someone, blame me."
Lin Ni looked at Yao and shook her head. She didn't want to blame anyone for Feng's accident. No one wants accidents to happen, and blaming each other is meaningless.
She walked up to Yan and looked him up and down: "Yan, how are you feeling now?"
Yan smiled and hugged Lin Ni: "Lin, I'm fine! I'm sorry to have worried you."
Linni hugged him back, feeling that Yan had become much stronger and more robust; his pectoral muscles were almost as big as Ye's. Linni looked up at him again; Yan had reached level eight, and the childishness on his face had finally completely faded, transforming him into a mature man.
Yao continued, "Feng's body has long been corrupted by the evil aura of the Cursed Land, but it has been temporarily suppressed because he is too powerful. I also reminded him that he cannot enter the Cursed Land again." After speaking, he turned to Ye and Yan, "Including you and Bai now, you all have remnants of that evil aura on you. You have all been bitten by ferocious beasts, especially Ye. If you enter the Cursed Land again, there is a high probability that you will become a ferocious beast."
Linni clutched her chest tightly and asked worriedly, "So, does that mean we'll be safe if we never enter the cursed land again?"
Yao thought for a moment: "If we can receive the blessing of the stone tablet, we can get rid of the evil aura on our bodies. Before, when we were in the Re-Love Layered Peaks, Bai was also tainted by the evil aura in the cursed land, but after that blessing from the stone tablet, it was gone, and the aura became pure again."
The blessing bestowed by the stone tablet is not something every orc can receive. Especially for males, it is extremely rare.
Lin Ni opened her arms and pulled Yao and Ye in front of her, saying formally to the three of them, "I don't want anything to happen to you again. You must protect yourselves!"
The three of them hugged her back at the same time: "Okay!" "Nothing else will happen!"
Perhaps due to forcing herself to meditate on the Beast God these past few days, Linni started having dreams again. She dreamt she was back in that volcanic space, sometimes appearing in the dimly lit area, sometimes directly above the lava. The scenery seemed unchanged, yet always different; the dazzling lava lake was still gushing forth lava. She tried to control her body, drifting towards the center of the lava lake, but could not proceed further after seeing the enormous fireball at its center. Sometimes, even after appearing, she wouldn't head towards the lava lake, but no matter which direction she went, she only saw streams of lava of varying sizes.
During this time, Yao and Ye slept on either side of her. Since they couldn't do anything, Yan, who would never have argued with them before, was even less likely to now, knowing that Lin Ni was in a bad mood. Lin Ni's entire focus was on resting during her pregnancy, so sleeping together was fine. It felt like she was back in the days before she came to the Tiger Beast Tribe, except that the two white tigers guarding the cave entrance were now sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed.
Five nights later, Lin Ni was dozing off when she suddenly felt a flash of white light in the cave, as dazzling as if someone had suddenly turned on the fluorescent light in a room when she was about to fall asleep in the modern world. She opened her eyes and saw that Ye had already sat up beside her.
Seeing that she was awake, Yao helped her sit up. Lin Ni saw that the two white tigers were enveloped in a white light that flickered, and it seemed that the two white tigers grew larger with each flash. The white light slowly disappeared when the two white tigers grew to nearly four meters in size. The two white tigers, originally two meters long and sleeping side by side, were now tightly huddled together. Their bodies weren't much longer than Feng's, but unlike the slender bodies of ordinary tigers, they were very robust, their bodies feeling twice as strong as Feng's. A few seconds after the white light disappeared, the two white tigers slowly opened their eyes. They met Lin Ni's eyes, and Lin Ni saw a silver light flowing in their eyes. Suddenly, they leaped up, rushed to the cave entrance, smashed through the large rock blocking the entrance, and roared loudly towards the outside of the cave: "Awoo--"
Even though I know they're probably just announcing their existence, it's so cringeworthy! Typical Bai!
The two white tigers roared for a while, startling the nearby birds and beasts, and even the ferocious beasts in the cursed land were alarmed, roaring in unison. Satisfied, one tiger turned and went back, while the other re-blocked the large rock at the cave entrance. Then the second white tiger turned and leaped at the first, aiming to crash into him. Lin Ni was afraid they would hit her, but they didn't. As the second white tiger collided with the first, they merged into one, transforming into a humanoid white tiger.
