Douluo Continent: I Moved the Entire Dragon King.

"You were carried down from the sky by those two strong men and landed on the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest."

Its gaze swept over Wang Dong'er, its eyes filled with curiosity.

Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xi'er exchanged glances, all seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

This imperial auspicious beast actually knew Wang Dong'er, and seemed quite familiar with her.

What are you doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?

The Imperial Beast asked, its tone devoid of hostility, only filled with pure curiosity.

Chapter 251 Auspicious Beast, Don't Run Away, Red King, I'm in So Much Trouble

Wang Dong'er and the others' gazes fell on the Imperial Beast standing in front of them. Although the Imperial Beast did not show any hostility, the group did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Xiao Xiao, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xi'er remained vigilant, spreading out in a fan shape so as not to interfere with their communication with the Imperial Beast and to be able to respond to any emergencies immediately.

The Imperial Beast seemed to sense their tension, but it didn't care. It simply tilted its head and asked again in its clear voice.

What are you doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?

"Experience".

Wang Dong'er glanced at the Imperial Beast and then answered, "There's no need to hide this kind of question."

"Experience?"

The Imperial Beast blinked, its eyes full of confusion.

It had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for countless years and had seen countless humans come here to hunt soul beasts, but it really had no concept of the word "experience".

However, it didn't dwell on it too much and quickly put the question out of its mind, its gaze returning to Wang Dong'er with a hint of curiosity.

"What is that silvery-white thing you're sitting on?"

"Not long ago, I saw many of you humans flying over the Starry Sky Forest in that thing, and at a very high speed."

Wang Dong'er was slightly taken aback, then turned her head and exchanged glances with Xiao Xiao, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xi'er.

The Emperor Beast was probably referring to their soul-guided car, which was a soul-guided transportation provided by the school. It was unexpected that the Emperor Beast had seen them all when they left the school and came to the Star Dou Great Forest.

However... faced with the problem of the Imperial Beast, the four of them exchanged glances, all somewhat hesitant.

Should we take out the Soul Guide Cart and show it to the Emperor Beast?

What if this guy gets a sudden urge and swats it down, flattening the car?

Wu Changkong and Shen Yi had said that if the Soul Guided Vehicle was damaged, they would have to pay a lot of contribution points. They had finally managed to save up so many contribution points, and they didn't want to waste them here.

However... it's hard to say what would happen if they didn't bring out the soul-guided car, since things have really taken an unexpected turn.

They hadn't even ventured deep into the core area, yet they'd already encountered such a powerful soul beast. Moreover... the Emperor Auspicious Beast was extremely important to soul beasts, so there would definitely be soul beasts protecting it closely. Therefore... when the soul beast capable of protecting the Emperor Auspicious Beast arrived, the group wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.

The Imperial Beast does not seem to have any malice now; its golden eyes only contain pure curiosity, without a trace of ferocity.

Moreover, they have no ill intentions towards soul beasts. When they encountered the Ironhorn Rhinoceros before, Seele only repelled it and did not kill it.

Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, and the scales in her heart finally tipped.

"Okay, here you go."

She raised her wrist, and the storage soul tool flashed, revealing a silver-white soul-guided car that appeared out of thin air, hovering quietly half a foot above the ground.

The Emperor Beast's eyes lit up instantly. It moved closer and circled the Soul Guidance Vehicle again and again, occasionally touching the vehicle body lightly with its claws, feeling the cold metallic texture.

Of course, the Imperial Beast didn't use much force. After all, although the human artifacts looked very high-tech and were something I had never seen before, they were probably just as fragile as humans.

When Wang Dong'er and the others saw the Emperor Beast directly take action, their hearts jumped into their throats, fearing that the soul-guided car would be totaled in front of them at any moment.

"Is this your human invention?"

Its voice carried a hint of surprise.

"You humans have made so many strange and wonderful inventions. I remember that you humans could only fly after you reached a certain level of strength. I didn't expect that you could fly now using this kind of thing."

The eyes of the imperial beast were full of interest.

What is this thing called?

"This is called a Soul Guidance Vehicle, a mode of transportation used by our academy."

"Soul-guided automobile..."

The Imperial Beast repeated the name and nodded, seemingly understanding.

It glanced at the soul guide vehicle a few more times, then looked away and focused its gaze back on Wang Dong'er. Suddenly, a hint of seriousness appeared in its golden eyes.

"That's right."

“I’ve observed you several times. Every time, you’re brought to the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest by two people, and then they take you up into the sky in the morning. What’s in the sky?”

The Imperial Beast gestured with its claws, describing the scene vividly, even mimicking the way Da Ming and Titan moved Wang Dong'er.

"I was going to school at that time."

Wang Dong'er scratched her head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't expect that the Emperor Beast would see me looking so foolish."

"Go to school?"

The Imperial Beast blinked; the term was even more unfamiliar to it.

It has lived in the Starry Sky Forest for many years and has never left this land. It knows very little about the concept of human society.

Of course, the Imperial Beast longed for the human world, especially since it had tried to go there several times, only to be captured and taken back by the Crimson King.

“Going to school is… going to a place to learn knowledge, to cultivate oneself, and to learn how to become stronger.”

Wang Dong'er tried to explain in simple terms.

"At the academy, we learn soul skills, combat techniques, how to cooperate with our companions, and also forging, soul tools, mechs... a lot of things."

The Imperial Beast was completely bewildered. What were all these things? Of course, even though it was completely bewildered, the Imperial Beast still understood them in its own way: school was a place to learn more.

Then, it turned its head and looked at Xiao Xiao, Xu Xiaoyan and Xi'er.

"And what about you guys? Are you going to school too?"

Xiao Xiao nodded, a gentle smile on her face.

"Yes, we are all classmates, studying in the same college."

The imperial beast's gaze swept over the four of them, its curiosity growing stronger.

A glint of interest flashed in its eyes, as if it wanted to learn more about the academy.

Just then—

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from afar without warning!

That aura was violent and intense, and the aura it emitted was quite terrifying. Even from a distance, Wang Dong'er could clearly feel the opponent's strength, which was definitely over 200,000 years old!

"Auspicious beast! Where are you?!"

A rough, harsh sound came from deep within the dense forest, causing leaves to fall and branches to tremble slightly.

Upon hearing this voice, the Imperial Beast couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding; the Crimson King had come looking for them again.

The next instant, the Crimson King appeared in their field of vision.

Chapter 252 Humans are cunning; don't trust them.

The Crimson King emerged from the dense forest and landed steadily beside the Imperial Beast.

In that instant, Wang Dong'er and the others felt as if the sky above them had darkened slightly.

It was over five meters long, shaped like a lion, but had three huge heads, standing side by side, with six eyes staring intently at them.

The head in the very center is the largest, with protruding canine teeth that gleam with a reddish-gold luster.

It was none other than the Crimson King, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

Wang Dong'er's pupils suddenly contracted. The terrifying aura emanating from the Crimson King made her feel extremely insignificant.

If they couldn't even handle the Emperor-level mythical beasts, then facing the Crimson King would naturally be even less likely to succeed.

The Crimson King's gaze swept over the four people, and the three heads simultaneously let out a low roar.

Humans!

Its sound was like rolling thunder, echoing through the dense forest and causing the leaves to fall in a rustling sound.

"What do you intend to do to the auspicious beast?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably violent aura erupted from the Crimson King's body, crushing down on Wang Dong'er and the other three like a massive, overwhelming pressure!

Wang Dong'er felt a weight on her shoulders, and her knees bent slightly, but she quickly straightened up.

Xiao Xiao, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xi'er also steadied themselves. Although their faces didn't look too good, they didn't take a single step back.

While at Shrek Academy, they underwent countless gravity training sessions.

Although those training sessions were tedious and tiring, their effectiveness was fully demonstrated at this moment.

When the Crimson King saw that the group remained completely still under his oppressive aura, a look of surprise flashed across all six eyes on his three heads.

These humans... are not simple.

“We have no ill intentions.”

Xu Xiaoyan stepped forward, raised her head, and looked directly into the Crimson King's three pairs of eyes burning with flames, her voice calm.

"We're just here in the Star Dou Great Forest for training. It was a coincidence that we encountered the auspicious beast. We didn't attack it; in fact, we wanted to make friends with it."

"friend?"

The Crimson King's three mouths simultaneously emitted a cold snort, a sound full of disdain.

"Humans? Making friends with auspicious beasts?"

Its tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"You humans are the most cunning and despicable! From ancient times to the present, what have you done besides hunting soul beasts when you invade the Star Dou Great Forest?!"

"I've seen countless humans, and not a single one of them is good!"

The Crimson King's three heads approached simultaneously, their gaping maws revealing canine teeth that gleamed with a cold, crimson-gold light.

"You say you have no ill intentions? Who would believe that? Maybe your target is the auspicious beast!"

The Imperial Beast stood to the side, and its golden eyes lit up slightly when it heard the word "friend".

friend.

No one had ever said this word to it before; it was a rather peculiar term. The Imperial Beast was unaware of it, and then its gaze fell upon Wang Dong'er and the others, wondering if these were friends.

Since its birth, all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have revered and protected it, but none have dared to say they want to be its friend.

What does it feel like to be a friend?

"The Red King."

The Imperial Beast spoke, its clear voice interrupting the Crimson King's roar.

"They definitely didn't lie."

The Crimson King turned his head and looked at the Imperial Beast, his three faces filled with confusion.

"Auspicious beast, how did you know?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"When they came in, they encountered an iron-horned rhinoceros, but they only drove it away and did not kill it."

The Red King paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Auspicious Beast, you're too naive! Humans are the best actors; they might be doing this on purpose for you!"

"deliberately?"

The Imperial Beast tilted its head, a hint of doubt flashing in its eyes.

"They didn't know I was watching, so why would they do it on purpose?"

The Crimson King opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say. Moreover... if the Imperial Beast really wanted to hide, these humans might not be able to find it.
