Chapter 512 The real danger
The black giant deer's red eyes gradually became unfocused, and a huge black hole was particularly conspicuous on its chest below its neck. Amidst the violent tremors, wisps of black mist faintly leaked out.
The black giant deer's body twitched involuntarily, and it staggered, falling straight from the ancient tree to the ground. The fragment of the holy crystal scattered around it, its light gradually dimming.
Upon seeing the approaching force, Shadow God instinctively grabbed the Holy Crystal fragment above his head and used it to shield himself.
To his surprise, this time the Holy Crystal fragments could no longer serve as his protective shield. The enormous stream of light rushed towards him and pierced through his heart.
Suddenly, a hazy mist swirled through the forest. After it dissipated, carrying a huge cloud of dust, the surrounding beastmen could clearly see the black giant deer, its fate unknown, hidden beneath the mist.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Lin Baiyan felt that amidst the dust, there seemed to be a visible wisp of gray mist slowly emanating from the black giant deer.
As if sensing something being drawn from its body, the black giant deer unconsciously shook its front hooves. As the gray aura dissipated, the aura of decadence on the black giant deer seemed to lessen, and its entire body shrank, appearing visibly much weaker.
Seeing this scene from afar, Lin Baiyan felt an ominous premonition. This aura made Lin Baiyan feel extremely uncomfortable, but it vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed. Lin Baiyan's heart skipped a beat, feeling that things were not over yet.
He stood still and raised his hand, stopping the surrounding orcs from going to investigate. He forced himself to walk towards the Shadow God, giving Lang Cang a warning look that forbade him to approach.
The Shadow Gods are currently a ticking time bomb, and it's still unknown whether they've been completely defused. Lin Baiyan can't risk putting them in danger.
With each step, Lin Baiyan took a deep breath, forcefully digging his fingertips into his palms to stay awake.
At this moment, a giant white wolf howled and galloped past the orc. Ignoring his mate's serious gaze, he charged straight at Lin Baiyan. The giant wolf slightly bent its front knees, lowered its head to the ground, and drooped its ears in a devout and respectful manner.
The meaning was obvious: to make the sub-beastman sit on his head. Lin Baiyan saw that the sub-beastman was looking down and stubbornly refusing to meet his gaze, so he sighed softly and threw himself onto the giant wolf's head.
Since they were already there, it was unrealistic to stop him from going, so Lin Baiyan simply stopped trying to stop him.
He fell down without hesitation, as if certain that the giant wolf would catch him firmly. Sure enough, the moment he fell, the giant wolf smoothed the fur on its head and embraced the orc tightly.
The white giant wolf, with its subhuman form atop its head, walked steadily towards the black giant deer beneath the ancient tree.
When the two reached the ancient tree, the giant wolf suddenly transformed into human form and embraced its sub-beastman tightly.
Having just gone through a fierce battle, Lin Baiyan was in a terrible state. His animal skin clothes were soaked through as if they had been drenched in snow, his face was ashen, and sweat mixed with blood clung to his cheeks. He exuded a weak aura.
When Lang Cang saw Lin Baiyan like this, he tightened his arms around him, his blue eyes lowered, and his trembling eyelashes concealed the tenderness in his eyes.
Lin Baiyan winced in pain from the force of his grip, letting out a soft groan as her brows furrowed involuntarily.
He struggled to get out of Lang Cang's arms, "Don't hold me yet..."
"Why are you moving around like that? Doesn't it hurt?" Lang Cang's voice was low, as if he was trying his best to suppress some emotion. His eyes swept over his partner's open wound, and he turned his head away abruptly.
Lin Baiyan didn't notice Lang Cang's tightly suppressed emotions. "I'll go check on Shadow God." To see if he's really dead. To avoid causing any more trouble.
Wolf Cang paused for a moment, then silently carried the sub-beastman to the side of the black giant deer whose fate was unknown.
Just as the two approached the black giant deer, Lang Cangjiang and Lin Baiyan gently put down their arms. Lin Baiyan crouched slightly beside the black giant deer, which remained motionless, seemingly unsure of its fate.
Just as Lin Baiyan was about to reach out and investigate, he saw that the black giant deer in front of him had actually transformed into human form.
After the giant deer disappeared, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old lay quietly on the ground. The boy had distinct features, fair skin, and droopy eyelashes, making him look exceptionally gentle. However, the fact that this face appeared on the Shadow God felt extremely incongruous.
The boy's right eye and half of his face, from the corner of his eye to his lips, were covered with strange red lines, which looked quite frightening.
All of this happened so suddenly that Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang were completely dumbfounded and couldn't react at all. "What's going on?"
He...he...he always appeared before them in this deer form, didn't he? How did he suddenly turn into a human?
Lin Baiyan subconsciously reached out a finger to check the boy's breath, then jerked it away and shook his head at Lang Cang with his face upturned.
It seems to have stopped breathing.
Lang Cang breathed a sigh of relief.
But Lin Baiyan felt that something was still not quite right.
Just then, a wisp of gray mist suddenly swept in, engulfing the fallen fragments of the holy crystal beside the boy before soaring into the air. Another wisp of gray mist rushed straight toward Lin Baiyan's right hand.
Lin Baiyan's vigilance instantly spiked to 100%. Oh no, this thing is after the Saint Crystal fragment in his hand!
Lin Baiyan instinctively threw the Saint Crystal fragment in his hand into his Qiankun bag. At this moment, the power was already very close, and he could not dodge it...
The danger would only last a few days. Lin Baiyan suddenly pushed Lang Cang backward with all his might.
He gave a bitter laugh, calmly closed his eyes, and awaited death. Just then, a strong arm tightly embraced his body. Lang Cang's tall frame firmly enveloped Lin Baiyan, preventing him from struggling.
"Wolf Cang, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
Ignoring the tall male orc in front of him, he simply closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of his partner's embrace, and chuckled softly, "Were you trying to abandon me again?"
He acted this way when dealing with Shadow God, and now he's acting this way when facing Gray Qi. Is Wolf Cang some kind of orc who can be easily abandoned?
Bai Yan, don't even think about it!
Thinking this, the male orc tightened his grip on Lin Baiyan, giving him no chance to break free.
He wanted to die with his partner.
After seeing its target disappear, the gray mist became enraged and churned even more violently. After circling in the air for a moment, it actually struck them directly in the face.
Just then, a silver light flashed and collided head-on with the gray mist, causing a loud bang and raising clouds of dust.
Upon hearing the loud noise, Lin Baiyan abruptly opened his eyes, only to be jolted back shut by the billowing dust. As the smoke cleared, he slowly opened his eyes to find an unexpected figure standing before them.
Upon seeing this person, Lin Baiyan nearly cried out, "How is it you?"
