Chapter 234 Heavenly Rank Xuanwu Beastman
At the border between the vast North Sea and the rainforest kingdom lies a rocky cliff. The towering sea crashes against the cliff, creating a spray of water that fills the air. Only a small sandy beach connects the two regions, allowing the beastmen to cross. Xuan and Ling explained that the beastmen of the rainforest kingdom and the vast North Sea exchange sea salt through this beach.
Nestled among the rocky cliffs lives a tribe of flying orcs: the Sea Eagle Tribe. Besides the Sea Eagle Tribe, the vast North Sea also contains two other islands suitable for flying orcs to inhabit. Apart from these, there are only various small islands; there are no other suitable places for land-dwelling orcs to live.
Linni asked curiously, "Are there merfolk in the vast North Sea?"
Ling said, "The fish race are all mermaids."
It turns out there are no mermaid beastmen in the vast North Sea. All the sea beastmen can transform into half-human, half-beast forms after reaching level four. At that time, the fish-race beastmen become the legendary mermaids from Lin Ni's original world—this is earlier than other land-dwelling beastmen. All the fish-race beastmen are good singers, but they only develop a bewitching voice after reaching level seven, so they believe this is a special ability bestowed upon them by the Beast God.
The mermaid-orc was indeed very beautiful, but no other orc could capture Linni's heart at first sight. And if Linni didn't fall for one at first sight, she would never see another. Because her companions were now all tacitly keeping single orcs away from her!
The tribes in the vast North Sea are mostly located in the sea, but they live in different layers of the ocean. Some live in the deep sea, while others live in the shallow sea, which is why there are so many orcs in the vast North Sea.
In addition, the beastmen in the vast North Sea prey on each other, making it a very dangerous place.
However, returning to the vast North Sea means returning to Xuanhe Ling's base camp.
These two guardian beastmen are quite famous in the vast North Sea. They are recognized by beastmen in every tribe they visit, so basically no foolish beastman would dare to attack them. Even if they are attacked, they are not afraid. Although Yao, Bai, Yan, Azhi, and Tiantian cannot fight in the water, with Ye, a Heavenly Rank beastman, and Xuan and Ling, two Level 9 beastmen, they are not afraid of any beast pack.
Xuan and Ling blew a few bubbles, and Lin Ni and her companions, who couldn't fight in the water, played with them in the sea. Thirty days later, they arrived at the Xuanwu Stele. If it weren't for the discomfort caused by being underwater for so long, they could have played even longer.
The Xuanwu Stele, like the other three steles, is round at the top and square at the bottom, silently floating several hundred meters above sea level. Directly in front of the stele lies an island complex, composed of numerous islets and beaches of varying sizes. This area was likely intended for the beastmen of the vast North Sea to offer prayers, but it has now become the habitat of the Xuanwu clan. After all, given that this clan can produce companion beasts, it seems quite natural for them to reside in front of the stele as a guardian beastman race.
When they arrived, they were surprised to find orcs attacking the Xuan Turtle clan. The attackers were also of the turtle clan, and appeared to be sea turtles. Xuan and Ling immediately rushed to fight.
Linni was sitting on Yao's back at that moment, so Ye flew over to help her. As for Bai and Tiantian sitting on his back, he didn't care. They didn't know they could jump off, and if they fell, that was their problem. Level seven or nine orcs weren't so easy to kill from falling.
At night, the snake used its tail to whip up giant waves that crashed onto the beach, first stunning the turtles, then shooting out shards of green blades from its mouth, scattering them in pieces, before finally landing and engaging in a fierce battle.
Apart from Yao and Lin Ni, everyone else rushed to help. With the addition of this group of high-level experts, the turtle clan was quickly defeated.
After the battle ended, the Xuan Turtle clan orcs excitedly ran over, saying with excitement and anticipation, "Chief, you're back!"
Xuan smiled and nodded to his clansmen, leading them towards the largest island in the middle of the island: "Why are we, the Xuan Turtle Clan, fighting with the Sea Turtle Clan?"
It turns out that the sea turtle clan claimed that companion beasts had also appeared in their clan, and since Xuan and Ling had been away from the vast North Sea for a year, they believed that the Xuan Turtle clan should give up this habitat and let the sea turtle clan take over.
Ling was furious after hearing this: "In just one year, the sea turtle clan dared to attack? Do they really think our Xuan Turtle clan has no one left?"
The temporary leader of the Xuan Turtle Clan said, "Because you did not appear at the Spring Blessing Ceremony this year, and another level nine beastman in our clan, Du, died in the summer, the clan no longer has a level nine beastman to lead it, so they think our Xuan Turtle Clan has declined."
Xuan smiled and patted the clansman on the shoulder, saying, "I understand. Pass the word that all the beastmen in the vast North Sea will hold a grand prayer ceremony in ten days. We will activate the guardian stele on that day. If you have time, you can come to the stele to witness the guardian beastman ascend to the Heavenly Rank."
The Xuan Turtle Beastman looked at Xuan with surprise: "Chief, you've reached the Heavenly Rank?"
Xuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, I'm already in a relationship. My partner is the Beast God's Messenger, and she will let everyone witness a miracle."
The Xuan Turtle Beastman looked at Xuan Heling with respect and admiration, then at Lin Ni: "I understand, Chief! Messenger of the Beast God! I will do it!"
Watching the Xuan Turtle Beastman run off excitedly, Lin Ni looked at Xuan and Ling and said, "It seems you two have a very high status in the vast North Sea!"
Xuan waved his hand modestly, while Ling said cheerfully, "It's fine for Xiao Linni to settle down in the vast Beihai in the future."
Linni gazed at the endless expanse of sea and sky in the distance. Settling down at sea? That doesn't sound very friendly to them! However, her partners come from various races, so it seems difficult to satisfy everyone.
During her time in the vast Beihai, Lin Ni ate seafood all the time, and she got a little tired of it after a while.
Fortunately, her two chefs were very skilled. Xuan's cooking skills are now on par with Yao's, and Yao has successfully escaped the role of a stay-at-home dad. Xuan had said he would cook for Yao and Lin Ni, and he truly kept his word. After Xuan cooked for them every day, Yao did nothing except occasionally use the stove when there was no firewood.
In the past, when he had fewer partners, he would deliberately go hunting so that everyone would spend more time with Lin Ni. But now that Lin Ni has more and more partners, he can spend less time with her than before. So, except when she has to spend time with other partners at night, Yao stays by Lin Ni's side. Wherever Lin Ni is, he is there too, practically inseparable from her.
After staying with the Xuan Turtle Clan for ten days, which was the fortieth day of the dry season on the Beastman Continent, Lin Ni put on a light green dress adorned with pearls that Ling had made for her, and together with them, under the watchful eyes of thousands of beastmen on the vast North Sea, she held a speech to welcome the return of the Beast God.
