Chapter 487 Awakening
Piles of burning firewood were neatly arranged around the edge of the pine forest. Lizard Beng calmly watched the beastmen's actions. Once everything was ready, Lizard An held a lit torch in his hand.
Lizard Beng nodded to him, and Lizard An understood, then threw the torch far away.
The faint flames, like dark red veins, slowly spread outwards. The shallow veins gradually extended, turning into red streams that continuously devoured withered branches and fallen leaves, emitting crackling and popping sounds.
Suddenly, the flames seemed to gather all their power and burst forth like a whirlwind, piercing the sky and instantly engulfing the forest. The heatwave distorted the space, causing the beastmen to retreat in unison.
Orcs both revere and fear fire.
Under the engulfing flames, everything will cease to exist.
Thick black smoke swirled around the forest. Looking at this terrifying scene, Lizard Shore's fingers trembled slightly as he threw out the torch. "Great Shaman, Great Shaman! Let's go quickly, or this entire forest will be burned down!"
Lizard and Pig had now moved to a spot where the thick smoke didn't reach them. They calmly watched everything unfold before them. Lizard shook his head peacefully. "Don't worry, just wait a little longer."
When the fire is strong enough to engulf everything and truly threaten the Shadow God, the Master will naturally awaken.
Seeing that Xi Beng could still laugh at this moment, Xi An felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that their Great Shaman was going crazy?!
Just then, the dark thorns surrounding the pine forest suddenly began to grow rapidly, almost instantly surpassing the height of the pine trees. They then began to expand outwards and hang upside down, tightly enveloping the outer pine trees under the black thorns.
Even the flames burning the pine trees were engulfed in them.
The black thorns firmly enveloped everything, and the raging fire that had just threatened to engulf the entire forest was actually broken by the black thorns.
The orcs of the surrounding lizard tribe stared in disbelief at this strange sight, and Lizard Shore stretched out his hand, trembling, "What, what, what is going on?"
Lizard Beng slowly revealed a smile, glancing indifferently at Pig Suo beside him, "Looks like we've succeeded."
Zhu Suo calmly looked back at him. "Let's go, don't keep the adults waiting."
Lizard Beng turned back to look at Lizard Shore, who still looked bewildered. "You can set up camp here for now. Elder Pig and I are going to go deep into the forest."
Lizard Shore looked anxious. "Great Shaman, why are you running deeper into the forest at this time? What if there are still flames that haven't been extinguished..."
"Don't worry, with that lord's intervention, there will be absolutely no hidden dangers left behind." After saying this, he no longer cared about the orcs behind him and left with Piglet.
Lizard had no choice but to wait quietly at the edge of the forest as he had instructed.
On the edge of the cliff deep within the dark thorns, thick black fog shrouded the bottomless precipice, and all seemed silent. However, Lizard Beng and Pig Rope knelt directly on the ground, "Please punish us, Your Excellency!"
The surroundings were silent, and it seemed that no one had appeared, but Lizard and Pig knew that Shadow God had awakened.
It's unclear how long they knelt, but suddenly a cloud of black mist rose from the depths of the cliff. As the mist gathered, a shadowy, beast-like figure appeared, its mouth filled with furious questioning, "I told you, don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary! How dare you set fire to the Dark Forest!"
"What? Are you planning a rebellion now?"
Lizard and Pig immediately lowered their bodies even further, and the two orcs said in unison, "My lord, please calm down, we really had no choice!"
Zhu Suo knelt and took a few steps forward. "I have something very important to tell you!"
The churning black mist paused for a moment. "Stand up. What's going on?"
Lizard and Piglet exchanged a glance and stood up. "We've discovered something..."
On the edge of the cliff shrouded in darkness, two orcs recounted the events that had occurred during the Shadow God's slumber.
After an unknown amount of time, silence returned to the edge of the cliff. Lizard Beng and Pig Suo kept their heads down, not daring to look up. Pig Suo could clearly feel the Shadow God's anger; if they weren't careful, they would become the targets of his wrath.
At this moment, the black mist hanging above the cliff churned even more violently, the mist gathered, and the beastly shadows slowly solidified. "So you mean to say that the City of Ten Thousand Beasts has now joined forces with those good-for-nothings, the Star Wolf Tribe, and has already marched to the south?!"
"Not only that, the Holy Crystal fragments that I want are also in their hands!" As soon as the Shadow God finished speaking, a black whip formed from mist lashed fiercely at the dark thorns in the distance.
As the whip fell, the thorns shattered into pieces, and the broken branches scattered around the two old orcs, scratching their skin almost instantly, but the two dared not make the slightest move.
"Why didn't you eliminate them completely back then?!" The black mist slowly turned around. Although it had no facial features, the two orcs still felt a powerful sense of oppression.
Lizard wiped the sweat from his face. "My lord, you were injured when you tried to refine the Holy Crystal fragment. After we obtained the Holy Crystal fragment from the Star Wolf Tribe, we rushed back south to report to you."
"But back then! We did leave some people behind to recapture the escaped orcs from the Star Wolf tribe, but then we lost contact with them..."
The black mist beast snorted coldly, "All this talk is just because you're all too useless!"
"Over the years, I have used the power of the Holy Crystal Fragments to send a considerable number of bloodlines to your tribes, but I never expected you to be so easily defeated!"
At that moment, two sharp thorn branches on the ground suddenly shot into the air and then plunged straight into the necks of the two orcs.
Lizard Beng and Pig Suo stared blankly at the branch hurtling towards them. Suddenly, Lizard Beng shouted, "My lord, I have another guess that I haven't told you yet!"
The branch stopped an inch from their necks, and then came to a halt.
