Chapter 202 A Tribe Built on Terraced Fields
Ling whispered in Bai's ear, "We told you long ago to have Lin become our partner so we could sense her location! Why wouldn't you listen to advice?"
Bai ignored them.
The pressure around Yao grew increasingly low, and no one dared to approach him.
The oppressive silence was suffocating everyone.
Several hours later, Yao suddenly turned into flames and disappeared before everyone's eyes! This beastman continent had no supernatural abilities or the power of the five elements, so everyone was unable to understand and could only stare in disbelief at the place where he disappeared.
Aside from Bai Zaiyao saying, "If Lin stimulates the Partner Seal, I'll go save her," but not leaving, they guessed he would leave in this way. After all, they had witnessed him appear in this way last year, so the possibility of him appearing beside Lin Ni in this way again was high. However, Lin Ni didn't stimulate the Partner Seal. The longer time passed, the more anxious he and Yao became. She clearly knew she could summon her partner this way, so why hadn't she? Had she lost consciousness? Just when Yao and Bai were about to go crazy, Lin Ni finally stimulated the Partner Seal…
When Yan expressed his confusion, Lin Ni looked up and said, "When he said 'appear beside me,' he meant 'appear directly,' without flying or walking. Just like a voice, when I speak, you can hear me without worrying about where it comes from."
Yan thought for a while before saying, "Okay, it's good that he can be by your side in time." After saying that, he looked at Lin Ni and said, "Then next time you encounter any danger, you must summon him quickly, don't take so long, we're all worried to death."
Lin Ni was a little embarrassed. She couldn't very well say that she had simply forgotten, could she? Realizing she had almost been driven mad by her own stupidity, she nodded repeatedly, feeling guilty, and said, "I know!"
Yan lowered his head again to kiss Lin Ni, on her head, face, nose, mouth and chin. Lin Ni's body had long been trained to be very sensitive, and she could not withstand his kisses. She quickly pushed him away and said, "Yan, no, this is not suitable."
Yan kissed her lips for a while longer before nodding and saying, "Okay. Shall we go find Bai and the others now?"
Yao said, "Let's look around here. If they haven't arrived yet, let's go straight to the Bear Beast Tribe. Didn't Chang say that it would only take another afternoon and evening to fly there? We both fly faster than them, so we should arrive by tomorrow morning. It will be safer to wait for them at the Bear Beast Tribe, and Lin can get some rest."
Linni asked with some concern, "Could they have encountered some danger?"
Yao said, "Don't worry about Bai. Bai, Xuan, and Ling are all very capable fighters. Before I came to find you, I had Bai protect those flying orcs. They'll definitely come back to us once they've recovered. You're not with them, so they can survive by flying. There's no need for the wandering orcs to attack a team with a level nine orc. Ye came to find you alone. He's a snake orc, and the wandering orcs in the Rainforest will only see him as one of their own and won't attack him."
Linni nodded: "Then let's go to the Bear Beast Tribe!"
Yao let Yan carry Lin Ni on his back, and together they circled twice above the dense forest. Finding no trace of Bai and the others, they flapped their fiery red wings and sped off eastward like a shooting star.
Linni lay on Yan's back. After Yan reached level nine, his beast form grew a bit larger. Although he couldn't roll around on Yao's back as much as before, it was still much more comfortable. Linni gently stimulated the Night and White companion marks on her arm, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It was the dead of night on the Orcish continent, utterly silent. Four pale, round moons hung silently in the southeast, northwest, and northeast corners of the sky, which was as black as ink. The entire rainforest was slumbering; the dense forests were nothing but dark shadows, while the waters, large and small, winding and meandering, reflected the four moons, shimmering as if gently veiled by a silvery-white gauze, appearing tranquil and profound.
As I burst out of the burrow, I saw a red streak of light disappearing eastward from the bottom of the pit, along with a clear and melodious phoenix cry and a loud eagle's call from afar.
He was a step too late, but the thought that Lin Ni was already with Yao and Yan put his mind at ease.
When Lin Ni woke up, they were still flying in the boundless sea of clouds. Seeing that Lin Ni was awake, Yan let out a joyful eagle cry. Since Yan had reached level eight, he could speak in his beast form, but when flying in the sky, he couldn't speak to her in her ear like Yao could. If the two wanted to communicate, they could only shout loudly, otherwise their voices would be blown away by the wind, so it was difficult for them to communicate while flying.
Linni gave him a tight hug in response, then turned to look to the side and saw Yao flying alongside Yan. Linni smiled and waved to him. Looking around, it was sunrise; the sun was rising slowly, turning the entire eastern sky orange-red. The surrounding clouds rolled like ocean waves, and the green mountains and rivers below were once again tinged with color. Then, the sun shot out countless rays of light, leaping out of the clouds, transforming the entire rainforest into a beautiful painting.
Lin Ni really wanted to take a picture of the beautiful scenery with her phone, only to realize that her hiking backpack wasn't there; she had given it to Xuan for safekeeping. Luckily, she hadn't carried it herself, otherwise, after yesterday's ordeal, even if she hadn't lost it, her phone would have been unusable after being soaked in water.
After watching the breathtaking sunrise, Lin Ni lay back down on Yan's back, ready to take a nap. She'd only been dozing for a short while when Yao said, "Little Ni, we should be at the Bear Beast Tribe now."
Yao and Yan were slowly flying downwards, and Lin Ni also turned her head to look down: the morning mist on the ground had not completely dissipated, shrouding a terraced field, layer upon layer, like a ladder to heaven shrouded in mist. Sweeping downwards, suddenly, a large patch of light flashed between the mountains. Like mirrors, they were strung together, one after another, stretching eastward, with layers upon layers of stone houses above the terraces, as if the terraces were extending upwards to the horizon. The light was soft, and the entire terraced field and stone houses resembled a delicate ink painting. In the hazy, ethereal atmosphere, it was truly a scene of light and shadow, like a fairyland.
As the sun flew lower and lower, the mirrors that were initially faintly visible in the morning light gradually became brighter, turning into shimmering lake water and sparkling jade mirrors.
As Yao continued his descent, Linni finally saw the scenery below. They had come from a swamp, followed by a large bamboo forest and peach orchard, before finally reaching the vast paddy fields. Judging from the layout, the bamboo and peach forest served as a kind of fence around the tribe.
