Novel Bin Chapter 1150 - “I’ll Find You (2)”
From out of nowhere, a slight rustling sound at the front catches Bai Yan’s attention. Alarmed, she snatches both her children to get behind while she scans the area for signs of danger. Very soon, she’s discovered the source, it’s a pair of eyes hiding deep inside the greenery and it’s staring at her location!
Normally she wouldn’t be afraid of anything, that’s just how her personality works, but this time Bai Yan became very uncomfortable under this intense gaze. It’s as if a poisonous snake had wrapped its body around her and made it difficult to breath.
Dragony also felt this distinctly unpleasant sensation. Scurrying to get behind those legs for cover, she timidly clenched onto her mother’s dress for protection: “Mother, I’m scared, there’s something terrible over there. Can we not go?”
“It’s fine, you two stay here and wait for me, I must go investigate this because it’s likely the only way for us to leave this place.” Loosening her hands around the two nervous kids, Bai Yan gives one final glance behind herself before treading forward with firm strides in those legs.
Surprised at being left behind, Bai Xiachen hurries to reach out: “Wait Mother, I want to come with you.”
“I’m going too.” Dragony hurriedly expressed her wishes as well, not wanting to be left behind no matter the fear.
Now that’s left Bai Yan in a bind. After much consideration, she knew there’s no other choices here but to take them along. Regardless of her order, these two would definitely tag along so why bother going against their will?
“Fine, but you two must stay behind me and not run off no matter what.” Having said that, she returns her attention back to the front for whatever’s lurking in that darkness. There’s no way she’s going to allow a mistake at this point to happen.
“That… that is….” Bai Yan suddenly halted in her steps after getting a clearer view. There’s shock plastered all over that face.
It’s an altar, and atop of this altar was a monster that’s being bound to it by multiple spears piercing through its body! So why would Bai Yan call this creature a monster? Of course it’s because of that appearance. A goat’s head with a body shape similar to that of a snake! What a mishmash of characteristics, to say it’s a combination of multiple races wouldn’t be an exaggeration in this case.
Now here’s the spooky part. Despite that body being drained of blood like a husky mummy, Bai Yan could clearly tell it’s still alive. Those eyes definitely moved the second it noticed the uninvited guests here, just that the air it gave off was different to what she felt earlier. What does that mean? There’s another creature besides this monster here….
“Human, it’s fate that have led you here, release me and I will give you gifts beyond your wildest dream!” The goat head monster gradually opened its dry husky jaw and spoke.
Though crackling and hoarse due to the condition his vocals were in, this monster’s voice still left Bai Yan unnerved from top to bottom. It’s a feeling she never experienced before despite how weak it sounded for an old timer.
“Let you go?” Bai Yan snickers derisively at that foolish request, “If I did let you go then what assurances do I have that you won’t kill me on the spot? Do you think I’m that stupid?”
The monster actually appeared taken aback by the rebuttal. Apparently he didn’t think others would ever reject his promise.
“Human, you don’t know who I am? I am Dragon God! If you release me from this binding then I can give you countless benefits!”
“Dragon God?” Rubbing her chin, Bai Yan’s eyes examined the self-proclaimed dragon god repeatedly. Ticking the corner of her lips upward, “You look more like a goat with a snake’s body, which part of yourself looks like a dragon here?”
The monster’s expression became visibly floored on the face.?This human… she doesn’t know me? It can’t be, my legendary tales have been lost from this world over the years of my confinement?
