Chapter 539 Extra 7 Luo Ming
After the Lantern Festival, a heavy snow fell in the north, covering the entire world in white, as if symbolizing a bountiful harvest in the coming year.
At this moment, Lin Baiyan's mood was particularly heavy within the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
He stood by the bed, looking at the sub-beastman lying quietly on the bed. Snake Darkness seemed to be thinner than before, as if with the arrival of this heavy snow, the little life force left in his body was slowly dissipating.
Wolf Luo sat beside Snake Ming, his gaze unusually calm. "So, High Priest, you mean he doesn't want to wake up again, is that right?"
Lin Baiyan closed his eyes reluctantly, and after a long while, nodded emphatically, "Yes."
Wolf Luo's heart seemed to plummet into an abyss with Lin Baiyan's movements. He lowered his head slightly, looking at the silent sub-beastman on the bed, and suddenly chuckled, "Alright, alright..."
Lin Baiyan sensed that Lang Luo was acting strangely. He opened his mouth, "Lang Luo..."
“High Priest, there’s no need to say anything more.” Lang Luo suddenly looked up, interrupting him.
“Actually, I had a premonition before.” Wolf Luo reached out and gently grasped the skinny wrist of the orc on the bed.
Despite his injuries having healed, he showed no signs of waking up. His gaze swept over Snake Ming's face inch by inch, his fingers gently rubbing his wrist bones. Wolf Luo's eyes flickered with uncertainty. "I thought he might just be too tired, but I didn't expect him to be such a coward."
Lin Baiyan didn't know what to say. Since the Beast God had made his decision, there was no external help that could wake She Ming up. He could only rely on himself from now on.
Lang Cang, who was standing to the side, put his arm around Lin Baiyan's shoulder and gently shook his head at him, "Let's go, let the two of them stay by themselves."
Wolf Luo probably needs some time to calm down.
Lang Cang and he grew up together since childhood, and he knew clearly what kind of turbulent waves lay beneath Lang Luo's calm and gentle face.
Lin Baiyan had no choice but to nod.
After the two of them left, only Wolf Luo and Snake Ming, who was lying unconscious on the bed, remained in the room. Wolf Luo's fingertips slowly traced across the face of the sub-beastman. His eyelashes were slightly lowered as he looked at the pale yet still beautiful face.
From chin to lips, nose tip, all the way to eyes, and finally, gently brushing aside the orc's eyelashes, "Now you're a bit quieter and more obedient."
Unlike before when he went with him to rescue the Star Wolf Clan, he didn't have that nonchalant, sarcastic demeanor.
At that time, Serpent Demon made no attempt to hide his cruelty and madness. He could easily incite the warriors of the Mad Serpent Tribe and the Golden Scorpion Guard to kill each other, thus depleting most of the Golden Scorpion Guard's fighting strength.
As they watched the bloody and gruesome scene from the shadows, She Ming remained completely unmoved, and Lang Luo could even detect a hint of pleasure on his calm face.
Upon witnessing this scene, the other warriors around him looked at Snake Demon with apprehension and fear.
He suddenly remembered what Wolf Power had told him, "Brother Luo, this sub-orc is a vicious snake. He doesn't even care about the lives of his own people. We'll definitely suffer if we cooperate with him."
Upon hearing his words, Lang Luo's gaze swept lightly across the devastated battlefield, littered with the corpses of the Mad Serpent Tribe and the Golden Scorpion Guard. He glanced at Lang Li beside him and said, "With me here, we won't suffer any losses."
Lang Luo strode forward a few steps, his gaze landing on She Ming in front of him.
The orc leaned lazily against a large tree, his slender fingers toying with a dazzling yellow gem.
Seemingly noticing Wolf Luo's gaze, the sub-beastman slightly raised his eyelids. "What?"
For some reason, after meeting that gaze, Lang Luo felt a tingling sensation in his heart. He shook his head calmly. "Where do we go next?"
Snake Darkness raised his hand and tossed the beautiful yellow gemstone to the ground. He turned his gaze to the narrow valley and gently raised his chin. "It's in the deepest part of this valley."
“However, the Golden Scorpion Warriors will patrol here even more frequently, and there is poisonous gas in the valley. Do you still dare to go in?” Snake Dark raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with strong sarcasm and provocation.
Wolf Power was immediately enraged. "Who do you think you are? We Star Wolf Beastmen will never back down! Besides, those imprisoned inside are our own people!"
She Ming glanced at him indifferently, parted his thin lips slightly, and uttered two words, "Fool."
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Wolf Power said, about to step forward, his fist already raised.
Just then, he felt something cool beside him. He slowly turned his gaze and immediately saw Lang Luo staring at him expressionlessly. Lang Li's anger suddenly subsided.
Wolf Luo chuckled, "Clan Chief Snake Darkness, there's no need to argue with a child."
He swept his gaze across the Serpent's Shadow without making a sound, the black marks emanating from his fingertips.
Snake Demon tilted his head slightly. "What if I insist on arguing?"
Wolf Luo's gaze was calm and indifferent. "Then our cooperation probably can't continue."
"Heh, boring." The venom that had seeped from Snake Dark's fingertips slowly dissipated. He looked at Wolf Luo with disdain. "If he hadn't promised White Flame, do you think he would still be standing alive in front of me right now?"
Hearing him say that, Lang Luo's heart skipped a beat. When did the relationship between this sub-beastman and the high priest become so good?
Their personalities are completely different; they are two extremes.
He actually stopped pursuing the matter because of a promise he made to the High Priest; Wolf Luo had just clearly seen the intense killing intent in his eyes.
However, now was not the time to focus on these things. Lang Luo's attention was on the imprisoned members of his clan. He gently raised his hand, making a gesture of invitation, "In that case, we will have to trouble Chief She Ming to lead the way."
Snake Darkness glanced at him lightly and took the lead, saying, "Since you're not afraid of death, then come with me."
After he left, Lang Luo's gaze swept over the yellow gem he had thrown on the grass. As if he had thought of something, he walked over, bent down, picked up the stone, and put it in his pocket.
Wolf Power, who was standing to the side, was utterly dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He was stunned for a moment.
What's wrong with the captain?
It should be noted that although Lang Luo usually appears gentle and composed, he is actually deep-thinking and extremely aloof. From childhood to adulthood, he has only had a slightly better relationship with the young clan leader and Lang Wang.
He was always calm and self-controlled, and he never let outsiders touch his things. Of course, Lang Luo would not pick up things that others had thrown away.
What's with this action?
After Lang Luo picked up the stone, he noticed Lang Li's gaze beside him. His movements froze for a moment, then he casually raised his eyelids as if nothing had happened. "Aren't you coming?"
Wolf Power was startled by the gaze and quickly said "Oh," following behind Wolf Luo.
