Chapter 155 Premature Birth
Yin Hu picked up Yue Qing and strode towards the depths of the canyon.
The spiritual mist parted automatically in front of him, as if welcoming some distinguished guest.
"Silver Tiger, wait!" Aoki hurriedly caught up, "At least let me tell you about the taboos in the canyon!"
"Speak," Silver Tiger said without turning his head.
"The canyon is divided into three levels. The first level is the misty area, where ordinary beastmen will surely die. The second level is the ruins area, where there are buildings left by the ancient tiger clan. The third level..." Qingmu's voice became solemn, "...the third level is the sealed land, which must never be entered!"
Yueqing suddenly cried out in pain, her body curling up like a shrimp in Yinhu's arms.
Her squirrel tail appeared uncontrollably, and the golden light at the tip of the tail was more dazzling than ever before.
Even more astonishingly, her eyes also began to gleam with the same golden light, like two small suns illuminating the surrounding mist.
"The awakening of divine beast bloodline!" Aoki gasped. "It's even purer than I imagined!"
Silver Tiger felt the changes in the woman's body in his arms, and his heart ached so much that his internal organs were churning.
But there was nothing he could do but quicken his pace.
The fog closed in behind them, completely blocking the pursuers.
All that could be heard were screams and curses coming from within the fog, clearly indicating that the pursuers were suffering from the backlash of the mist.
“Only a few of the wolf clan leaders were able to keep up,” Black Fang glanced back. “The rest of us are trapped.”
The first level of the canyon was much wider than I had imagined.
Ancient stone steps extend beneath your feet, flanked by towering ancient trees with trunks so thick that it would take more than a dozen people to encircle them.
Silver Tiger's tiger bloodline resonated strangely with the environment here.
Some blurry images began to flash through his mind—fragments of memories from the ancient tiger clan.
A colossal white tiger roared in the canyon, its opponents a group of black-scaled ferocious beasts.
The battle was extremely fierce, with mountains collapsing and the earth splitting, and the sun and moon losing their light.
In the end, the White Tiger Divine Beast sacrificed its life to seal those ferocious beasts deep within the canyon.
“I saw it.” Silver Tiger’s voice was a little hoarse. “The memories of the ancient tiger clan.”
Yueqing opened her eyes slightly in his arms, her golden pupils reflecting his face: "I saw it too, Silver Tiger, that white tiger is waiting for us."
Upon entering the second level of the ruins, the scene before them left everyone in awe.
Amidst the ruins, glimpses of its former glory remain. Huge stone pillars pierce the sky, adorned with lifelike tiger totems.
The ground was paved with huge stone slabs, each as big as a house.
The most eye-catching feature is the central altar, which is carved entirely from white jade and remains as white as new even after thousands of years.
At the top of the altar, a huge white tiger statue stands majestically, its eyes seemingly looking down upon all living beings.
"This is the sacred ground of the ancient Tiger Clan." Aoki's voice was filled with awe. "Legend has it that only those with the purest Tiger Clan bloodline can step onto the altar."
Yin Hu carried Yue Qing toward the altar.
A strange thing happened—every time he stepped onto a step, the step would emit a soft white light, as if welcoming the king's return.
Just then, a deep roar came from the depths of the canyon.
The sound was awe-inspiring, as if it came from the depths of hell.
The ground began to tremble slightly, and the ancient buildings creaked and groaned.
"The seal is loosening!" Aoki's expression changed drastically. "The awakening of the divine beast's bloodline is affecting the seal!"
Yueqing suddenly let out a painful groan, and her body began to undergo more obvious changes.
The squirrel's features became more prominent, but at the same time, golden patterns began to appear on her skin, the patterns moving across her body as if they were alive.
"child
"The baby is coming out!" Yueqing said through gritted teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.
Silver Tiger's pupils suddenly contracted.
At this time, in this place, the child is being born prematurely!
Just then, a familiar wolf howl echoed from the mist.
Several dark figures burst out of the mist, led by a burly wolf warrior whose eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty red light.
"Finally found you!" The wolf warrior licked his lips, revealing his gleaming white fangs. "Hand over that female, and I might consider giving you a quick death!"
Yin Hu gently placed Yue Qing on the altar and slowly turned to face the approaching enemy.
His eyes shone with golden light, and his muscles were as taut as steel.
"If you want her, you'll have to step over my dead body first."
Silver Tiger's eyes turned completely golden, and the bloodline of the ancient tiger clan erupted at this moment.
His body instantly swelled to a size larger, his muscles becoming as clearly defined as if carved by a knife and axe, every inch containing earth-shattering power.
"roar--"
A deafening tiger roar erupted from the depths of his throat, and the entire canyon trembled at the sound.
The wolf warrior's expression changed slightly, but the greed in his eyes remained undiminished: "The tiger bloodline is indeed extraordinary, but you will surely die today!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the two figures collided in front of the altar.
Bang!
The shockwave spread outwards, and the ancient stone slab shattered instantly beneath their feet.
The silver tiger's claws clashed with the wolf warrior's sharp claws, sparks flying and the sound of metal colliding was extremely piercing.
The wolf warriors were indeed formidable. Every strike contained the killing techniques meticulously trained by the wolf king. Their movements were unpredictable and ever-changing, sometimes appearing like ghosts and sometimes pouncing like mad wolves.
However, Silver Tiger's combat strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.
The awakening of his tiger bloodline imbued each of his attacks with the aura of an ancient beast, each punch landing with a visceral impact and each strike potentially fatal.
"ah--"
On the altar, Yueqing let out a painful groan.
She gripped the edge of the altar tightly, her fingernails almost digging into the white jade.
The baby in her womb moved even more violently, as if it couldn't wait to break free of its restraints.
The golden patterns on her body grew brighter, winding and flowing across her snow-white skin like swimming dragons.
Those patterns are not simple designs, but the bloodline marks of ancient mythical beasts, each one containing astonishing power.
Sensing this sacred aura, the altar began to emit a soft white light.
The light spread from the base to the top, illuminating the entire altar like a fairyland.
"The seal is loosening too fast!" Aoki's face was ashen; he could feel the terrifying power awakening deep within the canyon.
Rumble.
The ground shook violently, and an even more terrifying roar came from the depths of the canyon.
The sound carried the ferocity of an ancient beast, as if it could tear the heavens and earth apart.
The ancient buildings trembled violently as huge stones rained down from above.
Black Fang cleaved a wolf warrior to death with a single blow, then looked up at the shaky stone pillars: "This place is about to collapse!"
"I can't worry about that!"
Stonehoof swung his warhammer, smashing two wolf warriors into a bloody pulp. "Let's take care of these scum first!"
These wolf warriors were indeed formidable; each one was an elite warrior who had fought their way through countless battles.
Their teamwork was seamless, their attacks were fierce, and they showed no fear of death.
The battle intensified.
