My husband is too wild, I need to go home and find my mom.

Chapter 180: The Azure Dragon Stele in the Rainforest Kingdom – I absolutely must go!

Linni then asked, "Aren't there any cursed lands over there?"

Sheng nodded heavily and said, "Yes, quite a few. In the past two years, we have sent orcs and orcs from the Hotblood Tribe to clear the cursed lands near here. As for the ones further away, we haven't bothered with them. We have flown over there to observe, and there should be no fewer than ten cursed lands."

Lin Ni and the others returned to their residence with heavy hearts.

Xuan and Ling also went into the tree hole.

Ling said, "Lin, the situation in the rainforest is really bad! You shouldn't go, right?"

Linni looked at Ling and said, "I definitely have to go to the Azure Dragon Stele in the Rainforest Kingdom."

Ling then advised, "You previously said that Ye might be the guardian beastman of the Rainforest Kingdom. Why don't you let him try to awaken the guardian stone tablet first? If you can't find the guardian beastman, it won't do you any good, right? The journey there is too dangerous."

Well, Ling's dissuasion only made Lin Ni realize how wonderful her companions were. They were living happily in the Tiger Beast Tribe, but when she said she wanted to come to the Ten Thousand Cliffs, everyone except Feng, who offered a few words of advice, followed her without hesitation. Even after losing Feng in the Peacock Tribe, they didn't try to stop her. But now, Ling had only heard about the Rainforest Swamp Kingdom, without even seeing it with her own eyes, and was already advising her not to go. Indeed, there's no harm in comparison!

But the Azure Dragon Stele was the last hurdle on her path home, and she refused to give up. Even if it wasn't to go home, but to awaken the Beast God, she would still make this journey. The Beast God—it could be him—how could she possibly give up halfway?

Seeing that Lin Ni didn't speak, Xuan tentatively said, "Why don't you become our partner first? After that, come back to the vast North Sea with us. Maybe we can receive the blessing of the guardian stone tablet and advance to the Heavenly Rank? With two Heavenly Rank beastmen accompanying you to the Rainforest Swamp, your safety will be greatly improved."

After hearing Xuan's words, Ye and the others were somewhat tempted and turned to look at Lin Ni.

Lin Ni was also somewhat tempted, but when choosing a partner, she would only choose someone she truly loved. She didn't want to be with them just for better protection. Besides, the distance from here to the Azure Dragon Stele would only take about ten days by plane, but to get to the Vast North Sea, she would have to cross the Central Forest, which would take much longer. Then, from the Black Tortoise Stele to the Azure Dragon Stele, it would take nearly thirty days. Why go through all that trouble? Lin Ni finally looked up at them and said, "Xuan, and Ling, I must go to the Azure Dragon Stele. The journey is indeed extremely dangerous. If you are unwilling to take the risk, then you should return to the Vast North Sea yourselves."

Upon hearing Lin Ni's words, Ling said anxiously, "No, Lin, why are you trying to get rid of us? We were just discussing a safer way, weren't we? If you think it's not suitable, we'll think of another way. We're definitely going to follow you, whether it's because of the Beast God's prophecy or because of my feelings for you. I certainly won't let you go to such a dangerous place by yourself."

Linni smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words. I'm not going alone; I'm going with my partner."

Yao suddenly spoke up: "Cold-blooded orcs can't fly, right? Let's prepare more food before we set off and bring it with us to reduce the time we spend on land. That way, those wandering orcs will have fewer opportunities to attack us."

Bai nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. And with so many high-level orcs together, they'd better think twice before they actually make a move."

Linni thought for a moment and said, "Da Jin from the Eagle Beast Tribe said that their beastmen dare not venture deep into the rainforest marshland. So, the Eagle Beastmen traveling with us might also be in danger, right? Should we remind them?"

Although these beastmen from the Eagle Beast Tribe certainly knew more about the dangers of the Rainforest Swamp than their group, it was still better to give them a heads-up.

After lunch, Lin Ni and her companions went to find Chang, the chieftain of the Eagle Beast Tribe. They were still at the platform on the mountaintop, and this time the beastmen fighting had become level seven beastmen. When Lin Ni and her group arrived at the summit, a black eagle and a white eagle were fighting. Both eagles were very powerful, and neither could gain the upper hand for the time being. Lin Ni and her group's arrival seemed to give them a shot of adrenaline, and the battle immediately escalated, with both eagles bleeding.

As Lin Ni and the others stood next to Chang, the white eagle grabbed the black eagle's wing and successfully pinned him to the ground.

The orcs watching from the sidelines cheered them on.

The white eagle released the black eagle, and A-Zhi, who had transformed into human form, walked towards Lin Ni with a smile in the sunlight. His large, single-eyelid eyes looked at her affectionately: "Lin, I have won. I can go to the Rainforest Kingdom with you now."

At that moment, his figure seemed to overlap with Feng's, and Lin Ni thought that Feng had come back to life, walking towards her with deep affection in his eyes once again. She unconsciously whispered, "Feng, is that you back?"

A shadow fell over A-Zhi's bright eyes. He glanced down at the ground, then looked up at Lin Ni. Her large, bright eyes were staring straight at him; she seemed to be looking at him, yet she didn't. A-Zhi stopped in front of Lin Ni and smiled, saying, "Lin, I'm A-Zhi."

Linni snapped out of her reverie and met A-Zhi's affectionate and expectant eyes. She looked away and said, "A-Zhi, thank you for the food you brought these past two days, but you don't need to trouble yourself. My partners will prepare food for me."

A-Zhi said, "I know, but that's what I feel for you. I like you too."

Linni glanced at Azhi, then avoided his gaze, before looking at Yao for help. Yao smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Azhi, and Chang, we actually came up here to tell you that we've heard the wandering orcs in the Rainforest Swamp Kingdom eat other orcs. It might be very dangerous for you level six or seven orcs to travel with us!"

Chang nodded nonchalantly: "Of course! We know more about the situation there than you do. This trip to the Rainforest Kingdom is because everyone wants to contribute to the re-emergence of the Beastman Continent and the Beast God. As for the danger, everyone is already mentally prepared. Otherwise, why would we choose the strongest beastmen through beast fighting?"

Azhi said, "We are prepared to risk our lives for this trip to the rainforest. If we can come back safely, I will become your partner, so that if something happens to me, you won't have to suffer the pain of losing your partner again."

Ah Zhi! Lin Ni sighed silently in her heart. His tenderness and deep affection made it even harder for her to face him.
