The White Tiger fell, its gigantic body slanting to the side like a small mountain, and smashed into the ground with a deafening sound. The system announcement that sounded out in Ling Chen's ears proved that the White Tiger had truly died. Perhaps, Ling Chen had never thought that this mythical beast of the Forgotten Continent would actually fall by his own hands.
Although he had spent a few hours attacking the motionless White Tiger, he was undoubtedly the first person in the history of the Forgotten Continent to have personally killed the White Tiger.
"The great Demon Beast Clan … shall never perish … Arghhh!!"
The instant the White Tiger's body fell, World of Warcraft let out a final cry of pain and stopped breathing. Just like what the White Tiger had said, its death meant World of Warcraft's death. Ling Chen had essentially killed both the White Tiger and World of Warcraft, 2 ultimate Mysterious God grade existences.
"Finally …"
The White Tiger's fall caused the ground to tremble. Ling Chen took 2 steps back, and let out a long breath. His entire body was filled with a sense of exhaustion that he had been suppressing for a long time … in the end, it was still the White Tiger. With his Attack Power that could even insta-kill a low-level Celestial grade Boss, it took him more than 3 hours to finish it off, even though the White Tiger had less than 20% of its HP. If the White Tiger was at full health, it would have taken him an entire day and night … the White Tiger's soul wouldn't have been able to last that long.
Although the White Tiger was dead, there were no spoils of war beside its fallen body. Although Ling Chen felt that it was a pity, he wasn't surprised at all. This was because the White Tiger was a holy guardian beast, and not an ultimate Boss for players to kill. It would already be good if players didn't receive a heavy penalty for killing such a guardian beast, let alone any spoils of war. However, the 200,000 Skill Points were much more extravagant than any other spoils of war.
The White Tiger had died … just like that.
Back when he had seen the system announcement for the White Tiger's Heart, he had felt as if he had been struck by lightning. This was because in order to obtain the White Tiger's Heart, one had to first kill the White Tiger … However, the words "kill the White Tiger" were incomparably laughable to anyone who heard it. Even if his strength had increased by a hundred times, he would not have been a match for the White Tiger … However, less than a week had passed since that day, and the White Tiger had already died in front of him. In fact, he didn't even need to put in any effort, and he didn't need to take any risks … Instead, the White Tiger took the initiative to beg him to kill him.
If this was luck, then it was too heaven-defying.
"Young human, well done."
Just as Ling Chen relaxed, a voice suddenly rang in his ears. Ling Chen focused his attention and probed, "White Tiger?"
"Hehe …" The White Tiger's voice was very weak, but very calm. "Don't be surprised. I am indeed dead. You successfully helped me defeat two powerful demons, and also freed me. What you're hearing is the voice that the last shred of my soul has transmitted to you … However, in a little while, this last bit of consciousness will also completely dissipate. "
"... Do you have something important that you need to entrust to me? If I can do it, I will definitely do my best to complete it. "Ling Chen said. Although it was the White Tiger's request, the White Tiger's death was indeed caused by him. Moreover, he killed the White Tiger mainly for his own personal reasons. Therefore, while he was full of respect for the White Tiger, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt. Therefore, if the White Tiger had any last wishes, he would indeed do his best to complete it.
"No." The White Tiger gave a negative answer. "I persisted in staying because I wanted to see the newborn Holy Qilin with my own eyes … We, the four guardian divine beasts, already knew that the Holy Qilin had completely died a long, long time ago. We also tried to find the bloodline that the Holy Qilin might have left behind, but after searching for thousands of years, we couldn't find any traces. We could only despair. However, I suddenly felt the existence of the Holy Qilin's aura. This is the best news I've received in ten thousand years. Therefore, even if I'm about to die, I'm still wild with joy. There's only one way for a young human to receive the Holy Qilin's protection, which is to form a Spirit Contract with the Holy Qilin and become its master. The Holy Qilin is the head of the Forgotten Continent's 5 Saint Beasts, and no one in the world has the right to become its master. Holy Qilin's master, can you allow me to see the newborn Holy Qilin in my final moments? "
Holy Qilin … Holy Qilin …
Ling Chen wasn't unfamiliar with this name. After all, it was one of the Forgotten Continent's 5 Saint Beasts, and everyone knew this name. However, he never thought that he would one day meet this name. The one that the white tiger was pointing at could only be Little Grey … However, this little creature that had been hatched in his hands and had been following him since birth, could it really be the holy Qilin that the white tiger was talking about?
Ling Chen didn't say anything, and he tried to summon Little Gray. As soon as Little Gray appeared, it bounced around Ling Chen, then came to the White Tiger's giant corpse, and sniffed it a few times.
"White Tiger, is this the Holy Qilin you spoke of?" Ling Chen asked.
The White Tiger didn't say anything, but traces of soul fluctuations were transmitted into Ling Chen's mind. After a while, he heard the White Tiger's voice again. Its calm voice had become incredibly excited, "That's right … that's right! Although it's only half, it's definitely the Holy Qilin's bloodline … that's right! This is great. We should have known that the great Holy Qilin wouldn't die so easily. "
Ling Chen was speechless. He looked at Little Gray, who was swaying its short tail and sniffing the White Tiger's corpse, and waves of shock surged in his heart … it was actually the Holy Qilin's descendant … the Holy Qilin's descendant …
What the hell! So the Little Gray that had always been by his side was the only descendant of the Holy Qilin, the leader of the Forgotten Continent's 5 Holy Beasts!
However, if Little Gray was the Holy Qilin, the system should have been able to determine its name. However, the system's name for Little Gray was "Holy Spirit Beast"!
"Half?" Thinking about the White Tiger's words, Ling Chen asked.
"That's right, half." The White Tiger replied, "Young human, although I don't know how you became the Holy Qilin's master, the Holy Qilin has an innate ability to differentiate between good and evil. It will acknowledge you, which means that you're not an evil person. Everything is arranged by fate. I don't have the authority, nor can I interfere. Do you know what this newborn Holy Qilin's main ability is? "The White Tiger continued to speak.
"Support." Ling Chen didn't even think about it as he directly replied. Little Gray had been with him since it was born, and he was confident that he was the person who understood Little Gray's abilities the best in this world.
"No! It's an auspicious sign. "The White Tiger gave a different answer.
"Auspicious sign?" Ling Chen was stunned.
"Yes. The reason why I said that it only inherited half of the bloodline was that the attack attribute in the newborn Holy Qilin's bloodline had completely disappeared, but the holy attribute was completely preserved … As for the auspicious attribute, it had increased fivefold … or even more. Yes, the Holy Qilin loves peace, and hates fighting and wars. In order to prevent its descendants from being involved in wars because they have the ability to fight, it deliberately erased all the attack attribute when it inherited the bloodline, and completely preserved the holy and auspicious attributes, so that its descendants could have the kind, pure, selfless nature, and the great ability to bring auspiciousness to others … But, it's unbelievable. It's only in its infancy, but its auspicious attribute has already far surpassed that of the adult Holy Qilin. This is simply unbelievable. Could it be that its mother has an auspicious attribute that surpasses the Holy Qilin's … "The White Tiger exclaimed.
"Young human, the Holy Qilin has a powerful support ability, there's no doubt about that. The reason why you gave such an answer is because you can see its support ability. However, its most powerful ability is that invisible, but constantly accompanying you, 'auspicious' ability. Think back carefully. Ever since it has been by your side, has there been all sorts of luck … "
Ling Chen: "… …"
Needless to say, Ling Chen had always wondered about his heaven-defying luck in the virtual world.
The War God's Trial … Lonely Spirit Ridge … Forest of Bones … Moon Deities Ruins … Fairy Realm … Lunar Sky Hell … encountering Xiao Feng Chen … Lava Purgatory … Dwarf Realm … Trip to the East Ocean Continent … Godchild Peak … and encountering the White Tiger … all of these situations that were filled with danger and 'impossible factors' had all been accompanied by great luck. Once was luck, but over and over again … was that still just pure luck?
Encountering the Lucky Cat time and time again … encountering the Qian Gungun time and time again … and obtaining 8 God Orbs from the Lunar Scourge in less than a year … Ling Chen had always wondered if he was someone favored by fate. He had also suspected Little Gray because of the extinct 'beast of luck' that Qi Yue had described, and today, he had finally received the answer …
He had indeed encountered luck time and time again, and this luck wasn't without reason. It came from Little Gray, who had always been by his side, silently giving him 'auspicious signs'!
"Looks like you've understood." The White Tiger's remnant soul sensed the fluctuations in Ling Chen's mind, and its voice became weaker and weaker. Evidently, it couldn't hold on for much longer, "With it by your side, the auspicious signs will always follow you, unless one day you abandon it … Of course, I'm sure that won't happen. To be able to become its companion is your greatest fortune. Enjoy these auspicious signs, but you definitely can't rely on them. After all, auspicious signs are auspicious signs that give you more opportunities to fulfill your wishes. The most important thing is still your own hard work and perseverance. Auspicious signs will only follow one's hard work and perseverance. No one can always rely on luck to succeed. "
Ling Chen nodded, "I understand."
"I'm satisfied to be able to see the newborn Holy Qilin before I leave. I have one last thing that I want to ask you … This may involve your privacy, so you can choose not to answer. "
The White Tiger's question was very serious. Ling Chen's eyebrows twitched, and he roughly guessed what it wanted to ask, "Ask."
The White Tiger's voice slowly sounded out, "Cruel and World of Warcraft mentioned that you have the Lunar Scourge that was destroyed 10,000 years ago … Is this true?"
As Ling Chen expected, the White Tiger was indeed asking about this. When Ling Chen had just arrived, World of Ice and Warcraft had shouted the words' Lunar Scourge 'at him. It was impossible for the White Tiger not to hear it. The White Tiger had existed since ancient times, so how could it not know about the Lunar Scourge? Ling Chen didn't want to lie to the White Tiger that was about to completely disappear, so he nodded and said, "The Lunar Scourge is with me now."
