Chapter 151 How to Activate the Guardian Stone Tablet

Since they weren't in a hurry, Yao didn't ride on Bai Shu's back, but instead trotted alongside Bai. However, after the group left the valley where the Eagle Beast Tribe was located, they noticed flying beastmen constantly heading south, presumably to the Eagle Beast Tribe and Falcon Beast Tribe members near the stone tablet.

Looking at the densely packed flying orcs in the sky, Bai said to Yao, "No, with so many flying orcs, I still don't feel safe. Yao, you should sit with Lin."

Yao thought for a moment, then quickly ran two steps and leaped onto Bai Shu's back. Indeed, Lin Ni's safety should always be the top priority. There were quite a few wandering orcs at Wanren Cliff; who knew if they might take advantage of the situation? It must be said that Yao's combat strength always seemed to be the weakest among Lin Ni's companions, but whenever Lin Ni was in danger, he was always the first to react. In this respect, Ye and Bai trusted him a lot.

Yan said, "Then I'll fly up and enjoy the breeze."

Lin Ni shook her head and said, "No, Yan, you should listen too."

"it is good."

Everyone continued jogging south. Lin Ni turned back to Xuan, who was following behind, and asked, "Xuan, I want to know how you activated the guardian stone tablet with your blood?"

Xuan told Linni that they had heard from the elders of their tribe that in the past, the guardian stele only needed to be activated once every sixty years. Normally, it would also bestow blessings upon males and females with good aptitude, but after their father beasts perished, these blessings became rare. The spread of the cursed land forced the companion beasts of the vast North Sea to come to the stele and try to activate it, but the break in the lineage meant they didn't know the correct conditions. So, they relied on the vague memories of some elders, constantly groping their way forward. Finally, after nearly a hundred years, they found a way to activate the guardian stele. However, whether due to insufficient ability or a flawed method, it had to be activated annually; otherwise, the evil cursed land would continue to grow and expand.

Linnie asked, "So what are the methods and rituals for activation?"

Xuan solemnly said, "We will organize a large-scale prayer meeting on the 90th day of spring. After the prayer meeting, Ling and I will loudly recite the oath under the guardian stone tablet."

Their oath was both solemn and childish. Before their many kin, they would loudly proclaim: "In the name of Xuan (Ling), I swear: I willingly become the guardian beastmen of the vast North Sea, protecting it with my blood, praying that the Beast God will bless the North Sea with peace and prosperity! May the beastman continent flourish!" Then they would slit their left wrists, using the power of the Beast God to present them to the stone tablet. If the tablet absorbed their blood, it would emit divine light illuminating the entire North Sea, dissolving the evil cursed land, cleansing the hearts of the beastmen, and purifying the power of the Beast God. But if the tablet did not absorb the blood, nothing would change.

"There are cases where the blood is not absorbed?" Lin Ni was a little surprised.

Xuan nodded and said, "Other orcs have tried, but it didn't work. And it won't work if we don't swear an oath with our own names and blood."

Ling said, "We would occasionally fail before we reached level nine, but that hasn't happened since."

Linnie: Well, what a mysterious ritual!

Xuan looked at Lin Ni and asked, "So, little Lin Ni, how do you plan to activate the guardian stone tablet? Are you going to try it with your own blood?"

“No.” Lin Ni shook her head, then glanced at Yao and said to him, “Yao, when the time comes, you go up and try it in the name of Suzaku.”

Yao nodded: "Okay."

Lin Ni thought for a moment, then asked in Mandarin, "When the time comes, can we just go up and activate the stone tablet using Xuan and the others' method? Should we call out the name of the stone tablet first?"

Before Yao could reply, Bai suddenly said, "Then Lin should go up and shout: 'Awaken, stone tablet!'"

Lin Ni laughed: "That's so cringeworthy! But I should say: Awaken, Vermilion Bird Monument!"

Xuan asked, puzzled, "How can Xiao Linni be so sure that it is the Vermilion Bird Stele?"

Lin Ni: "I'm not sure. If it can wake me up, then it is; if it can't, then it's not!"

If this guardian stele is indeed the Vermilion Bird Stele, then the names of the other three steles can be confirmed. Aside from the Rainforest Swamp Kingdom, which will require some more effort, the problems with the Vast Northern Sea and the Layered Mountains will be solved. However, if this isn't the Vermilion Bird Stele, or if it can't be activated, it would prove her previous guesses were wrong, and she'd have to find clues again. Therefore, she absolutely must make the trip to find these three steles!

Lin Ni paused to think, then her gaze fell on Bai Shu's large tiger head. Suddenly, she felt something was amiss. Lin Ni stroked Bai Shu's tiger fur and tentatively asked in Mandarin, "Bai, do you think we can awaken the Vermilion Bird Stele?"

Bai Shu naturally replied in the language of the Orc Continent, "I think Lin can definitely do it."

Lin Ni froze: He actually understood her! She said that after she finished singing "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Tiger," she felt something was off. As soon as she sat down, Bai said, "I knew you liked me the most! I'm the strongest in your heart! The best!" At that moment, she was relaxed and happy, so she didn't think much of it. Then Luo and Su came over to court her! So Bai has always been able to understand her? Then he…

Yao hugged Lin Ni, who had suddenly frozen in place, and asked with concern, "Lin, what's wrong?"

Bai Ji glanced at Lin Ni, then belatedly realized that Lin Ni had just asked him in her tribe's language. Had he been discovered? He couldn't help but curse himself for being too happy these past two days, so he lowered his head and silently continued on his way without saying a word.

Lin Ni slowly turned her head to look at Yao, then at Bai who was hurrying along with his head down, and said directly in the language of the Beastman Continent: "Bai can understand what we are saying."

Yao showed no surprise and nodded, saying, "I noticed it last night too."

Ye looked at Bai in surprise, then at Lin Ni: "When I first met Lin, you were saying those things to those two stupid tigers, what's so surprising about that?"

Lin Ni… Yes, she had actually forgotten something so important! Bai could understand most of her commands when he was a tiger, so how could he not understand them after becoming human? Even if he only vaguely understood them initially, after listening for a year, he should be able to understand them by now! Lin Ni suddenly felt a pang of panic; she didn't even know what she was afraid of. She grabbed Bai's tiger fur and asked, "Bai, have you always been able to understand?"

Bai Shu was silent for a while before slowly saying, "I didn't quite understand at first, but I gradually came to understand." Bai Ji ran over and rubbed against her leg. It wasn't convenient to do anything intimate while running, but he solemnly said, "Lin, no matter what you want to do, I will be with you! I said I would love you together with Yao!"
