SFS Chapter 450 Dog Fruit's Purpose
Chapter 450 Dog Fruit's Purpose
After Lin Baiyan gave the order, the warriors of Ten Thousand Beasts City set up camp on the spot. The location they chose was good, close to the water source and secluded, which was just right for setting up camp, saving them the trouble of finding other places to encamp.
In just one hour, what was originally a simple stop had transformed into a heavily guarded temporary camp, with squads of orcs crisscrossing the area. Each of them wore the latest style of armor from the City of Beasts and carried different weapons: greatswords, tridents, broadswords, and so on.
Lin Baiyan drew diagrams for almost every type of weapon he could think of. And you know what? The weapon department's comprehension ability is improving day by day, and they can make these things almost perfectly.
After the camp was tidied up, the night returned to calm. In the middle tent, Lin Baiyan sat behind a table, sketching with a charcoal pencil. Since he had decided to temporarily camp here, he wanted to draw up a detailed map of the surrounding terrain.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the tent outside, "High Priest, Dog Fruit has something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Baiyan threw down the charcoal pencil in his hand and said, "Let him in."
Not long after, Quan Guo, wearing a thin cloak, entered his tent. "High Priest."
"What's wrong? Is there something you need?"
Silence fell over the tent for a moment. Lin Baiyan was a little puzzled. When he looked up, he met Quan Guo's hesitant face.
Seeing this, Lin Baiyan stood up and walked to the opposite side of him. "Dog Fruit?"
Inugo suddenly snapped back to reality, "High Priest..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Quan Guo pursed his lips. "I heard that the group from the Wild Boar Tribe is planning something bad for Beast City?"
Lin Baiyan nodded. "That's right, I just received the letter today."
This matter has already spread throughout the entire camp; it's nothing to hide.
"So you've brought us here to eliminate them first?"
Lin Baiyan nodded. "I do have this plan."
After considering his own thoughts, Quan Guo finally made up his mind. "High Priest, would you like me to help you find the whereabouts of those orcs?"
Lin Baiyan looked at him with some surprise, "Aren't you only allowed to look for traces of orcs you've seen before?"
Normally, that's how it is, because only after seeing their faces can the Spirit Dog Clan use their sensing power, but the Dog Fruit is different.
His sensory abilities were far superior to those of ordinary awakened members of the Spirit Dog Clan, and the power within his bloodline subtly told him that his abilities seemed to have another way of being used.
But... Quan Guo hesitated for a moment and looked up, "I wonder if the High Priest is holding a fragment of the Holy Crystal?"
"You know about the Holy Crystal Fragment?" Lin Baiyan was genuinely surprised this time. He didn't remember ever mentioning the Holy Crystal Fragment to Quan Guo.
Seeing his expression, Quan Guo quickly waved his hand, "I've been very well-behaved in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, and I've never eavesdropped on your conversation!"
Seeing his anxious look, Lin Baiyan said with a wry smile, "That's not what I meant, but where did you hear that from?"
Seeing that he believed him, Quan Guo felt relieved and explained, "I overheard it by chance outside the chieftain's tent when I was in the Fierce Boar Tribe."
In fact, he had just been brutally beaten by a male orc from the Boar Tribe for clumsily burning a piece of meat. But there was no need to mention to the High Priest that his life was good now; those past hardships were probably just for the sake of this peace.
Therefore, in order for the Spirit Dog Clan to have a peaceful and stable future, he would absolutely not allow any unknown dangers to threaten the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
“High Priest, I have a feeling that I should be able to use the power of the Holy Crystal to enhance my sensory abilities.”
Quan Guo looked intently at Lin Baiyan, then pointed to his chest. "It told me that." It was the beating heart and burning blood in this body that told Quan Guo that he shouldn't have been so mediocre.
It was only due to circumstances that he remained silent until now; now, it's time for him to shine.
Lin Baiyan was not as optimistic as he had imagined. He was traumatized by the Holy Crystal Fragment. He knew that anything involving bloodline power had no good ending. Just look at Hu Bing; how much energy did it take for him to use his precognitive ability once?
“The Holy Crystal fragments are indeed in my hands now, but things may not be as simple as you think.” Lin Baiyan pulled him to a chair and sat him down, then simply told him everything about Hu Bing.
"The Silver Fox Clan has guarded a fragment of the Holy Crystal for generations, but such a treasure is mysterious and powerful, so how could they easily allow orcs to use its power?"
Lin Baiyan said earnestly, "Just look at Hu Bing now. His sickly appearance before was all caused by this thing. I don't trust you to use him."
Looking at Lin Baiyan's worried face, Quan Guo felt a warmth in his heart. This was also the reason why he made this decision. If others knew his abilities, they would definitely not hesitate to squeeze out all his value. How could they be as considerate of him as Lin Baiyan?
Therefore, it is not without reason that the people of Ten Thousand Beasts City respect and love Lin Baiyan so much.
Those unfamiliar with Lin Baiyan might say that the beastmen seem to have an exceptionally blind trust in him.
But if that person is Lin Baiyan, then it's worth it.
As Quan Guo thought this, his gaze became even more determined. Yes, if it was the High Priest, then it was all worth it.
“I know, I thought about it before I came. There might be a price to pay, but it is my honor to be able to help the High Priest.” Quan Guo looked at him earnestly and said.
Lin Baiyan saw the blind trust in his eyes and was truly at a loss for words. He didn't know where these orcs got such confidence in him. He himself found it rather inexplicable.
Quan Guo stood up and knelt on one knee. "High Priest, let me give it a try. Maybe there will be a pleasant surprise."
Lin Baiyan was startled by his sudden action and quickly helped him up. "Alright, why did you suddenly kneel down?"
He hesitated for a moment, but he had to admit that Quan Guo's suggestion gave him a new perspective. Perhaps this fragment of the Holy Crystal could really bring him a different kind of surprise.
If we could track down the orcs' movements and launch a surprise attack, it would save us a lot of trouble.
Lin Baiyan carefully considered the feasibility of this matter in his mind.
He's had quite a bit of dealing with this fragment of the Holy Crystal, so he's a familiar face to him and there shouldn't be any problems.
Besides, even if all else fails, he still has himself. With his bloodline fused with the essence of beasts, he refuses to believe he can't tame this tiny fragment of the holy crystal.
"Okay, I promise you. Come to my tent tonight, and we'll give it a try."
The two sub-orcs, one bold in words and the other bold in deeds, settled the matter in just a few words and very tacitly kept it a secret from everyone.
It has to be said that the people Lin Baiyan brought out really have a lot in common with him; they are all ruthless to themselves.
He was especially like that; he had a whole repertoire of advice when it came to dissuading others, but when it came to himself, he wasn't so attentive. No wonder Yang Ye was eager for them to reunite with Lang Cang as soon as possible.
There was really no one but Lang Cang who could control this "outrageous" high priest!
