When Beauty Meets Beasts - Chapter 853 - 853 Altar
Chapter 853 – 853 Altar
853 Altar
After reaching the top of the mountain, Huanhuan took out the bone knife and inserted it into the hole.
The statue and stone pillar slowly rose.
She stepped forward and pressed her hands against the statue. She closed her eyes and focused…
Vaguely, she sensed the existence of other altars.
The altars floated around her like stars.
She pushed aside the clouds and found ‘Starlight’, which belonged to the Rock Temple.
The moment her fingers touched Starlight, she connected with the altar of the Rock Temple. A familiar altar appeared in front of her.
At the same time, in the Rock Temple thousands of miles away, the divine pillar suddenly lit up.
When the divine servant found out, he hurried upstairs and found Dong Ya.
“Lord Dong Ya, the divine pillar is glowing!”
Dong Ya had never heard of a divine pillar glowing. His first reaction was to think that the divine servant was lying, but he didn’t look like he was lying.
Was he seeing things?
Full of doubts, Dong Ya walked downstairs to the altar.
The divine servant was not lying to him, nor was he seeing things.
The divine pillar in the middle of the altar was indeed glowing!
The so-called divine pillar was actually a thick stone pillar. The surface of the pillar was engraved with dignified beast totems.
For so many years, no one knew why there was a stone pillar erected on each altar, nor did they understand what was unusual about those so-called divine pillars.
It was only today that Dong Ya realized that this divine pillar was indeed unusual!
He immediately knelt down and prayed to the divine pillar.
Vaguely, he thought he heard someone call out to him.
The voice sounded very familiar.
Dong Ya pricked up his ears and listened carefully. He realized that the sound was coming from inside the divine pillar.
He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he mustered his courage and walked to the altar. He raised his hand and pressed it against the divine pillar in the middle of the altar.
The originally indistinct voice suddenly became clear.
“Dong Ya…”
It was Lady Huanhuan’s voice!
Dong Ya was overjoyed and quickly replied, “Lady Huanhuan, it’s me, Dong Ya!”
Huanhuan said slowly, “I’m now at the altar on the divine mountain at the City of 10,000 Beasts. I’m contacting you through the divine pillar. Time is urgent now. I’ll explain the specific attack to you in the future. Help me do something first.”
“Just tell me. I’ll definitely do it!”
“Shuang Yun is in danger in a stone forest. That stone forest is very likely near the Black River. Hurry up and inform Shuang Yin to bring people to the stone forest to save Shuang Yun. You have to be fast!”
“Yes, I’ll do it now!”
The connection was cut off.
Dong Ya jumped off the altar and quickly walked out.
At this moment, Shuang Yin should be patrolling the military camp.
Dong Ya rushed to the military camp as quickly as possible. He found Shuang Yin and quickly explained his intentions. “Your Highness, His Majesty the beast king is in danger. Lady Huanhuan wants you to immediately bring troops to the stone forest to save him!”
Shuang Yin was very surprised. “How did you know that my father was in danger?”
“Lady Huanhuan told me. She contacted me through the divine pillar just now. Time is of the essence. Please go and save him as soon as possible.”
Shuang Yin trusted Dong Ya. Hearing this, she immediately called her three brothers over. Quan Rong and Wang Shui knew that there was an emergency and rushed over.
Shuang Yin didn’t waste her breath on them and said, “I’m going to the stone forest with 200 beast soldiers to save Father. I’ll leave Rock City to you for the time being.”
Shuang Mu, Shuang Lin, and Shuang Hua hurriedly asked, “What happened to Father?”
“Father is in danger in the stone forest. I’m not sure about the exact situation, but since Mom specially sent the news, the situation must be very urgent. I’m going to set off now. Stay in Rock City and wait for us to return.”
Although they were all worried about their sister’s safety, time was of the essence. They couldn’t hesitate.
After so many trials, the three of them were no longer the three silly boys who only knew how to follow their big sister. They knew their priorities. No matter how worried they were, they still agreed readily.
“Okay!”
Shuang Yin gathered 200 beast soldiers and left the city for the stone forest.
To her surprise, Quan Rong and Wang Shui also sneaked into the team.
By the time she discovered the two of them, the team was already a long way from Rock City. If the two of them went back alone, she didn’t know what would happen on the way.
Shuang Yin could close one eye and reluctantly bring them along.
The group traveled day and night and finally arrived at the stone forest the next day.
Quan Rong’s nose was very sensitive. He followed the faint smell of blood floating in the air and searched for the way. Finally, he found the seriously injured Shuang Yun in the crevice of the stone forest.
The crack was very narrow and could only accommodate one person.
Shuang Yun held a bow in his hand and guarded here alone. As long as the demons approached him, he would take out his bow and shoot the demons that rushed in.
Although those demons were ferocious, they had a fatal weakness: their eyes.
As long as they were shot in the eye, they would immediately lose their sight and would not be able to attack again for a while.
He had been relying on this method to guard this place for two days and one night.
During this period of time, he didn’t even dare to blink, afraid that if he wasn’t careful, the demons outside would take advantage of him.
Shuang Yin led people to kill the demonic creatures outside the crevice. Quan Rong crawled into the crevice when no one was looking and carefully carried Shuang Yun out.
As soon as they left the crevice, Quan Rong immediately transformed into a golden long-haired dog. He carried Shuang Yun on his back and roared at Shuang Yin, “Go!”
They were here to save people, not fight demons.
Since they had already saved Shuang Yun, they should retreat immediately to avoid attracting any more demons.
Shuang Yin ordered, “Retreat!”
The beast soldiers did not continue fighting. They immediately retracted their formation and returned to Shuang Yin’s side. Everyone surrounded Quan Rong and Shuang Yun and quickly retreated from the stone forest.
The demons chased them for a while.
Later, for some reason, they suddenly gave up on chasing.
After returning to the Rock City, Shuang Yun was sent to the Rock Temple where Dong Ya healed him.
Dong Ya was shocked when he saw Shuang Yun’s disheveled appearance. This was the first time he had seen Shuang Yun so seriously injured since he knew him.
Fortunately, Shuang Yin arrived in time. Otherwise, Shuang Yun would have died at the hands of those demons.
Shuang Yin took out a pill. “This is the medicine Mom gave me before she left. She said it can cure all illnesses. Give it to my father. It might be useful.”
Dong Ya trusted Huanhuan’s medicine unconditionally.
He immediately melted the pill in the water and carefully fed it to Shuang Yun.
Dong Ya spent the entire night stitching up Shuang Yun’s wounds. It was unknown if his medical skills had improved or if Huanhuan’s pill was working, but Shuang Yun, who was already half dead, was forcefully pulled back from death’s doors.
The next morning, Shuang Yun woke up at dawn.
Dong Ya wiped his sweat and heaved a long sigh of relief. “Now that you’ve woken up, you’ll be fine!”
