C2545 Terminating Disaster

The ore flickered brilliantly with endless multicolored light, sparkling and translucent without end. It released a myriad of strange auras, and from inside the building, the vague sounds of chanting scriptures could be heard. It was extremely mysterious.

It was unknown how many years the buildings formed by the original stone had existed for. They were almost all sealed in history, but today, people were trying to disturb them. No one knew what would happen the moment it wakes up.

Mysterious lights and complex mysterious runes surrounded every part of the building. The auras continuously gathered and formed a vast and boundless mysterious phenomenon. It was as if this building had become the mysterious immortal gate of the rising sun and setting moon.

At that instant, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. It was as if the air had frozen, and one could hear the sound of needles dropping, and their hearts were like thunder. Regardless of whether it was Lin Bai, Leng Yanyan, Beast Lord, or Tai Ah, all of them nervously stared at the building, holding their breaths.

Fear, Tremor! This was a feeling that came from the depths of their hearts. For some reason, they felt that what they were facing wasn't a building, but a sleeping vicious beast that was about to awaken.

And once this vicious beast woke up, it would release a boundless, terrifying might, substituting the entire world in endless darkness and terror! This was an unstoppable phenomenon. Once it happened, he could only let it continue on.

Seeing this scene, their hearts began to pound. They were so nervous that they could not even imagine how dangerous it would be. Even the mighty ability of nothingness did not dare to rashly touch such an existence. There were too many mysteries and dangers. If this building was truly disturbed, what awaited them would be no other choice but death.

Fortunately, as time passed, the strange glow surrounding the building gradually dimmed. The mine returned to its previous silence. It was as if nothing had ever happened. It was as if the fierce beast that had been frightened into hiding in the building had fallen back into a deep sleep.

Upon seeing this, Lin Bai and the rest heaved a long sigh of relief. Although nothing unexpected had happened, their hearts were still unsettled. And for safety's sake, they even took a few steps back to observe the building's movements.

Time trickled by, but fortunately, the building was still quiet without any unusual atmosphere.

"So close, I was almost killed by Gu Jun …" She lightly patted her chest and muttered. Although her face was calm, her breathing was still rapid. It was obvious that she had not completely gotten rid of the tense atmosphere and the coercion released by the building.

Not to mention Leng Ying, even Lin Bai's heart was in a state of turmoil right now. When the building moved, he felt a sense of impending doom and an irresistible pressure. From what he could sense, that pressure was several times more powerful than what he could sense after the awakening of the nothingness. Currently, he was simply unable to withstand such an existence.

However, unlike Leng Zhan's relief, he was still frowning tightly. The reason for this was not because he was curious about the origin of the building, but because he did not know why, but because he had a feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching him from within the building, as if the building had been awakened, but for some reason, he did not release the calamity.

However, the feeling of being watched by others was almost indiscernible. Lin Bai could not even tell if it was real or just an illusion born from his own internal turmoil.

"Brat Lin, I was wrong this time …" At this moment, the old man lowered his head and walked towards Lin Bai. A hint of desolation could be seen in the depths of his eyes as he spoke in a low voice, like a mosquito, "I shouldn't have listened to you. If I had been more shrewd, I wouldn't have suffered such a loss …"

"You cannot be blamed for this matter. Not to mention you, even if it was me, if someone became close to me, perhaps I would have lost my guard." Lin Bai lightly sighed as he comforted Beast Lord.

Although he had experienced a lot of trouble this time and he was only a hair away from dying here with the others, he did not want to criticize Beast Lord too much for it. Firstly, it was because of its lord's face. Now that it was able to apologize, it was sufficient. In its heart, it had truly realized its mistake. If it were to reprimand it again, it would not be good.

Furthermore, everything had already happened and it had been resolved perfectly. Even if he was scolded harshly, it was only sprinkling salt on the wound of the old master. Doing so would not only be useless, it would also be meaningless.

The most important thing was that Lin Bai was very clear that the old man's mistake this time wasn't because of the old man's lack of knowledge or insight, but because of the lack of a single thought within his heart.

It was because of this flawless kindness that he treated Gu Jun as his own ancestor and was willing to listen to his commands with utmost respect. It was also because of this flawless kindness that he was bewitched by Gu Jun and stole his own Blood Concealment Spirit Stone. He didn't want Lin Bai to lose his life because of greed.

Everything he had done was for the sake of his good will and the will of his heart. You can criticize a person's evil, you can curse a person's stupidity, but how can you criticize and curse a person's goodness?

Kindness became wrong, and one should not blame those who had good intentions, but one should blame those who had taken advantage of their kindness. If it were not for the existence of these people, the result would naturally be a great joy for everyone, and there would no longer be any evil existences in the world.

Thus, how could Lin Bai criticize Beast Lord? Furthermore, he had to do his best to pacify Beast Lord's emotions, to prevent him from causing a huge change in his character and from now on, to have a bad heart.

"Everyone can make mistakes, even sages can't avoid it, not to mention Beast Lord you …" Not only Lin Bai, but Leng Zhan Yan also comforted it, "Moreover, this isn't Beast Lord you being stupid, this is Gu Jun being too despicable and taking advantage of Beast Lord's kindness in your heart."

"The calamity has been eliminated, do not worry about it anymore. Take this step forward, there are even more wonderful sights waiting for you in the distance." Even Tai'e, who had always been taciturn and taciturn, had slowly opened his mouth to pour the chicken soup into Beast Lord's mouth.

With every word that entered the old man's ears, he could not help but feel a moist heat in his eye sockets. It was at this moment that it finally truly understood that all of its fellow clansmen and all of its forefathers were fake. From the moment he had stepped out of the Nine Prefectures, the most important part of his life had become these people.

Now that he had made such a huge mistake, even though Lin Bai knew that Gu Jun was up to no good, he was still a hair's breadth away from it. They were already on the brink of death. If it was an ordinary person, even if they did not publicly criticize him, they would probably secretly criticize him repeatedly and would not want to get any closer to him. They would see him as a monster.

However, Lin Bai and the others were different. Not only did they not reprimand him, they even came to console him, afraid that he might be unable to think straight and do something. From this alone, one could tell how much they valued him.

The more it was like this, the more ashamed Beast Lord felt. Lin Bai and the rest treated him as a close friend, but how did he repay them? After Gu Jun appeared out of thin air and lied about being the ancestor of his own clan, he actually left these close friends behind and was even easily bewitched by him, doing things that were extremely disadvantageous to Lin Bai and the rest.

Comparing the two and comparing the two was like comparing the wrong and the right. It was as clear as a nail in a nail. There was absolutely not the slightest deviation.

"Boy Lin, I was wrong!" He kneeled on the ground, his scales trembling as he said word by word, "I swear on my life that I will never do anything to be bewitched by others. No matter what happens, I will always believe that the person closest to me will die under thousands of blades!"

This was a huge vow made by the Beast Lord. From the moment it spoke, it meant that it had sold its life to Lin Bai, beginning to have unlimited faith in Lin Bai. No matter what happened, it was unable to change this belief.

This was an absolute belief, and also a decision that Beast Lord had made after careful deliberation. It was important to find someone of the same race so that his bloodline would no longer be alone in this world. However, if one must turn their backs on the people beside them who valued them highly, trust them and view them as family and friends, it would truly be a loss that was not worth it.

In this world, if one obtained something, then there must be something lacking. But for now, if he had to make a choice between the two, he would choose the latter without any hesitation. That was because even though the descriptions of these people were different from it, and different bloodlines flowed in its body, their hearts were tightly tied to it.

It was enough that their hearts were connected. Even if their bloodline was not close to each other, what did it matter?

"Master Beast, there's no need for you to be like this. If you eat this, you can grow wiser. If you don't want to be like this in the future, there's no need to make such a vow." Upon seeing this, Lin Bai could not help but let out a bitter laugh as he lifted his hand to raise the old man from the ground. Although he had already expected that the old man would make some decisions after this calamity, he didn't expect that he would actually take the oath directly.

Once this vow was made, it meant that from this day forth, it would be completely tied together with Lin Bai, existing in a world of life and death!

"This is my decision, I will not regret it!" He then swept his gaze over the building that the ore was in and said with a frown, "Little brat Lin, I heard from Gu Jun that fellow say that this was some ancient ruin …"
