192: Special bloodline

Lin Hu flicked his tail, saying proudly, "This is Little Green Snake, and that's Rat Spirit. They are both my capable subordinates."

Young Master Baihu carefully observed the two demons, and suddenly his pupils contracted: "Holy Lord, could this snake junior of yours… be the legendary 'Hidden Breath Green Snake'?"

"Hidden Breath Green Snake?"

A low gasp escaped Lin Hu's throat, and beside him, Little Green Snake hissed, springing up half his body, his green scales shimmering like ripples under the dim light.

Lin Hu, of course, knew about the Hidden Breath Green Snake; there were some descriptions in his Legacy memories. But those in his memories were all ruthless characters who quietly accomplished great things. This one in front of him?

His appearance was flashy but not substantial, and he often lay limply. Could this really be it?

Little Green Snake himself was very puzzled. He had worried so much about his slow growth that he had shed many scales. Was it due to his race after all?

Then it was fine.

"So, my slow growth is because of my special Bloodline? Hidden Breath Green Snake sounds… very powerful!"

Young Master Baihu respectfully explained, "According to the ancient records of my clan, the Hidden Breath Green Snake is an ancient rare species, naturally possessing the ability to make all things ignore its existence. Cultivate to Major Achievement, and it can even deceive the heavens…"

Lin Hu patted Little Green Snake's head with his paw, making Little Green Snake's head buzz.

"You little fellow actually have such a background?"

"Of course, Boss, you don't even look at whose subordinate I am!"

"Boss, you can treat me well from now on!"

"Hahahahaha, if I have a piece of meat to eat, you'll have half a bowl of soup!"

"..."

***

While bantering with Little Green Snake, Lin Hu quickly calculated in his mind.

The reason he chose to play along and impersonate this "Holy Lord" was not on a whim.

Firstly, this tiger pattern was indeed strange, and he had to understand the reason.

Ever since entering the Ten Thousand Mountains, it had continuously glowed and heated up, clearly having a great connection with the White Tiger Clan.

Instead of passively waiting, it was better to take the initiative and seize the opportunity to find out the truth.

Secondly, being trapped in the Blood Moon Altar, it was almost impossible for just a few of them to fight their way out.

Since Young Master Baihu had delivered himself, it was better to go with the flow and use the situation to escape first.

Most importantly—he vaguely felt that the power contained within this tiger pattern might help him complete the task Lin Chuping had assigned, to completely control the Ten Thousand Mountains.

He wondered what kind of Dao this White Tiger Clan followed.

"Holy Lord, please follow me."

Young Master Baihu respectfully led the way, "Let's leave this defiled place first."

Lin Hu swaggered after him, secretly observing his surroundings.

The walls on both sides of the dungeon passage were covered with eerie blood-colored runes, and faint, mournful wails could be heard from deeper within.

"Young Lord Bai,"

Lin Hu asked casually, "What exactly is the origin of this Blood Moon Altar?"

Young Master Baihu's expression became solemn: "Holy Lord, my name is Bai Shengdao."

"The Blood Moon lineage is a remnant of ancient demonic cultivators, specializing in devouring the essence and blood of living beings to Cultivate. Eighty-one years ago, it suddenly rose in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and a blood sacrifice is held on the fifteenth of every month…"

As he was speaking, a violent tremor suddenly came from the passage ahead.

Bai Shengdao's face changed drastically: "Not good, the Blood Moon has activated the self-destruct Restriction!"

The tiger pattern on Lin Hu's chest suddenly became intensely hot, and an ancient power surged through his Bloodline.

He violently flung Little Green Snake and Rat Spirit onto Bai Shengdao's back: "Take them and go first!"

"Holy Lord!" Bai Shengdao exclaimed.

"Stop with the nonsense!"

Lin Hu's golden fur bristled, and dazzling golden flames ignited on his tiger claws, "I'll cover the rear!"

Bai Shengdao gritted his teeth, carrying the two demons and sprinting towards the exit, his voice like thunder: "Old man Blood Moon, you dare to plot against my White Tiger Clan! If you don't kill me today, this day next year will be your death day!"
