Chapter 119 The Passing of the Genius Orc Amidst Towering Mountains
Feng was attacking Yao, while Yan, Ye, and Bai were besieging Feng. However, Lin Ni was suddenly grabbed by a flying orc and lifted into the air. Her heart was pounding wildly, and she didn't know what to do. Suddenly, she saw a red light shooting down like an arrow. The flying orc holding her hurriedly dodged, but the red light still burned the feathers on its abdomen.
Linni immediately knew that Yao was trying to save her, and then she realized that she could do the same. She raised her right hand, gathered the power of the Beast God in her palm, and tried to condense the energy into a long spear, then thrust it fiercely upwards into the belly of the flying orc above.
When the flying orc sensed the abnormally strong power of the Beast God beneath him, he looked down in surprise. What he saw terrified him! He never expected the danger to come from the seemingly frail female he was holding in his claws, nor did he expect that she could also condense the power of the Beast God! Seeing the red power of the Beast God piercing his abdomen, he screamed in agony, blood splattering onto Linni's body and face, and his grip on Linni loosened.
Lin Ni was falling from a height of tens of meters. Just as she was about to summon the power of the Beast God again to protect herself below, Yao caught up from below and leaped into the air to catch her. Lin Ni breathed a sigh of relief: "Yao."
"I'm here!" Yao hugged Lin Ni tightly, rolled on the ground to cushion the fall, and then stood up again: "Are you alright?"
Lin Ni looked up at him. Yao was looking at her with a nervous expression. He was pale, had abrasions on his face, and his rain-soaked hair was stuck to his face. This was the first time she had seen him so disheveled instead of his usual calm demeanor. She couldn't help but ask worriedly, "I'm fine, how about you?"
Yao shook his head: "I'm fine too!"
The two steadied themselves and turned to look at Feng and the others. Then Lin Ni saw a terrifying scene: a huge black-striped yellow tiger had its front paws on a black eagle, its mouth wide open, about to bite the eagle's neck!
"No!—" Lin Ni felt a darkness before her eyes and cried out hysterically, "Feng, no!"
Feng ultimately did not bite through Black Hawk's neck. He looked up in Lin Ni's direction, his eyes flashing red.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai rushed over and saved Yan, but Yan looked badly injured and was motionless, his life hanging in the balance.
Night's serpentine body coiled tightly around Maple's tiger-like form, urgently calling out, "Yao, quickly take Lin away!"
Yao picked up Lin Ni with both arms like an adult holding a child, placed her on his arms, and ran away. As for why he carried her like that, it was because with Lin Ni sitting like that, he could always free one hand to fight.
"Feng, please wake up! I don't want you to be like this!" Lin Ni didn't want to give up and turned back to try to wake the powerful tiger-beastman: "Feng, please wake up!"
Seeing Yao leave with her, Feng slapped away the white snake that was locking its front paws, leaving three bloody marks on its body, and then chased after Lin Ni. After dragging Ye's snake body forward for more than ten meters, Feng suddenly stopped and roared loudly. The roar, full of pain, resounded through the sky and was deafening.
The rain poured down relentlessly, casting a somber atmosphere over the world. At that moment, Yao seemed to sense something and stopped a few dozen meters away from Feng, then turned around to look at Feng.
The red light in Feng's eyes faded. He struggled for a while, seemingly trying to transform into human form, but ultimately failed. Then the large tiger with black stripes and yellow fur stood there, looking deeply at Lin Ni, and said painfully, "I'm sorry, Lin, I can no longer stay by your side."
Linni couldn't tell if the water on her face was rain or tears. She tried to open her eyes wide to see Feng clearly: "Feng, you can do it! You are the most talented genius in the Towering Mountains! As long as we get away from the cursed land, you can return to normal!"
Feng shook his head: "It's no use. I can only suppress the evil power in my body temporarily. You, kill me. I don't want to become this disgusting monster!"
Lin Ni jumped down from Yao's arms, took two steps toward Feng, and cried, "No, Feng, I don't want you to die! Ye, bring Feng here quickly, and make sure Feng is far away from this damned cursed land!"
Night was still clinging to Feng's lower body when it heard this. Its upper body transformed into human form, and together with Bai, who had caught up from behind, they tried to drag Feng away. But Feng suddenly shouted, "Hurry!" and then began to struggle again.
Lin Ni saw the red light flashing in his eyes and shouted, "Feng, you have to hold on!"
"Aww—" Feng let out another painful scream, then with red eyes, he bit down hard on Bai's right side.
Lin Ni covered her mouth in disbelief, murmuring in anguish, "Feng, no..."
Bai attacked Feng's face with all its might, while Ye transformed back into a snake and bit one of Feng's front paws, its tail once again wrapping around Feng's tiger body.
Under Bai and Ye's desperate attacks, Feng released Bai's body, but then bit Bai's right arm again. At the same time, his sharp tiger claws left wounds on Bai and Ye's bodies. Blood stained the wounds and then flowed down with the rain, revealing the hideous wounds. It seemed that there were cracks on their bodies.
Yao put his arm around her shoulder and softly called out, "Lin!"
Lin Ni bit her lip hard. She really couldn't do it. How could she end the life of this man who loved her so deeply?
Yao whispered in Lin Ni's ear, "Bai is about to die."
This was the last straw that broke Lin Ni's back. Trembling, she put her right middle finger in her mouth and bit it several times but couldn't draw blood. However, Bai and Ye's cries of pain and the pain in her fingertip suddenly gave her some strength. She finally bit her finger and then stuffed her hand into her collar and reached for her left arm. She then traced the spot where Feng had left the partner's mark on her left arm, and at the same time, she said resolutely and sadly in her heart, "I want Feng dead!"
Just silently repeating it in her mind made her heart ache terribly.
A flash of white light enveloped Feng, his red eyes vanished, and his clarity returned. Feng turned to look at Lin Ni, transforming back into human form. His slender, phoenix-shaped eyes gazed at her with the same tender affection they had shared upon first meeting, now tinged with endless longing and a sense of relief. He smiled and said, "Lin, I really, really like you!"
With that, his aura vanished abruptly, and he transformed back into his tiger form, collapsing onto the rain-soaked ground. The rain continued to fall, splashing across Feng's massive tiger body, as if weeping for the passing of this genius beastman from towering mountains, or bidding him farewell.
