Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 259 Ninth Test

Following the direction of the sound, Su Mo and his companions soon passed through the dense forest and arrived near a valley.

In the valley, a dark gold dinosaur bear, over ten meters tall, stood on its hind legs, its bloodshot eyes staring into the depths of the valley.

Because the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was so enormous, Su Mo and the others couldn't clearly see the soul beast confronting it for a while.

However, judging from the charred fur on this ten-thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear, the soul beast confronting it was not much weaker than it.

"Su Mo, should we retreat? This is a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

Looking at the dark golden dinosaur claw bear that was over a thousand meters tall in front of her, Xu Xiaoyan quickly tugged at Su Mo's sleeve.

Although Xu Xiaoyan never doubted Su Mo, this was a ten-thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear that could rival a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. In the past, it was comparable to a titled Douluo.

"Peace of mind!"

Su Mo turned around and patted Xu Xiaoyan's hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

"But----"

Xu Xiaoyan was still a little worried.

"There's no 'but' about it."

Su Mo pinched Xu Xiaoyan's chubby little face and said with a smile, "Do you believe that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear will leave in a little while?"

Seeing Su Mo's confident demeanor, everyone was puzzled and looked curiously at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

In the valley, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared angrily to the sky and then swung its massive claws, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter peaks, at its opponent.

The opposing soul beast nimbly dodged the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack, and at the same time opened its mouth and spat out a golden fireball that slammed heavily into the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The pained Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's ferocity was fully aroused, and it roared as it pounced on its opponent.

The two spirit beasts fought further and further away, and soon they were out of their sight.

"Su Mo, what kind of soul beast was that just now? It was able to fight a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to a standstill."

"

Looking at the departing golden figure, Xu Xiaoyan asked with a curious expression.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a beautiful soul beast.

"That is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast of the emperor."

After a long silence, Wu Siduo suddenly interjected.

"An imperial auspicious beast?"

Xu Xiaoyan was still somewhat confused.

Seeing this, Wu Siduo glanced at Su Mo. When Su Mo didn't speak, she continued to explain, "Legend has it that there was once a strange auspicious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, which was called the Emperor Auspicious Beast."

"With it around, all the soul beasts in this great forest will cultivate more than twice as fast as normal."

"Moreover, it can bring good fortune to the entire forest."

"But later, that imperial auspicious beast fell in love with Lingbing Douluo and sacrificed itself to him."

"Since then, the Star Dou Great Forest has been plagued by bad luck. As a result, the Beast God Di Tian once launched a beast tide to attack Shrek City."

Although Huo Yuhao never returned to the Dai family, Wu Siduo, as a descendant of the Dai family, knew everything about Huo Yuhao's deeds.

The Dai family has been able to openly stay in Xingluo City for so many years simply by changing their surname; it's hard to say that Huo Yuhao's familial ties weren't involved.

After listening to Wu Siduo's introduction of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Xu Xiaoyan was shocked. She never expected that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had such a great background.

Stop spacing out!

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's stunned expression, Su Mo gently patted her head and said irritably, "Let's hurry up and go in to end this boring assessment."

Su Mo now fully understands the true purpose of this assessment.

Although they didn't know what Su Mo meant, Gu Yue and the others still chose to believe Su Mo.

The four people slid down the steep cliff face quickly and soon reached the bottom.

"That's way too much!"

Looking at the valley in ruins, with flames still burning and claw marks everywhere, Xu Xiaoyan was shocked.

"Let's go, our target is inside."

Su Mo ignored all of this and led Gu Yue and the others straight toward a hidden cave nearby.

Looking at the pitch-black cave, Su Mo snapped his fingers, and a fireball immediately appeared out of thin air.

The dark cave instantly became bright under the fireball's illumination.

The cave was empty, except for the sound of dripping water.

Su Mo didn't pay much attention and continued on his way with Gu Yue and the others.

After turning countless corners, a golden figure suddenly leaped out of the darkness at incredible speed.

Without a second thought, Su Mo kicked out, sending the golden figure flying.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan decisively added control without hesitation. As the Star Wheel Chain firmly locked the golden figure, Su Mo and the others realized that the attacker was a young three-eyed golden creature.

However, this three-eyed golden lion was covered in wounds, and judging from the freshness of the wounds, it had obviously been seriously injured not long ago.

"Su Mo, we—"

Just as Xu Xiaoyan was about to ask Su Mo how to deal with the three-eyed golden-faced creature, Xie Xie's voice, full of surprise, rang out.

"Wu Lin, hurry, that three-eyed golden lion is inside."

"Uh—Su Mo, what are you doing here?"

Seeing the three-eyed golden-faced man bound hand and foot by Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, who was rushing ahead, stopped in astonishment.

Tang Wulin, who was following behind, was unable to dodge in time and crashed into it.

"Hey, Xie Xie, why did you suddenly stop?"

Tang Wulin complained to Xie Xie.

But soon, Tang Wulin spotted Su Mo and the others standing opposite him, as well as the young Three-Eyed Golden Lion who was tied up.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense and confrontational.

After a moment of silence, Tang Wulin stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Su Mo, we injured this three-eyed golden lion—"

Before Tang Wulin could finish speaking, Su Mo interrupted him, "Then you can have it!"

"real?"

Upon hearing that Su Mo was willing to hand over the three-eyed golden lion to him, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up.

On the way here, he had already heard Xie Xie say that the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Man would definitely drop a head soul bone.

The head soul bone of the three-eyed golden-faced man is the strongest soul bone.

"certainly!"

Su Mo nodded to Xu Xiaoyan, who understood and released the control over the three-eyed golden-faced man.

The moment Xu Xiaoyan released him from control, the three-eyed golden-faced man was suddenly immobilized by an invisible force.

"Let's go!"

Without any hesitation, Su Mo turned around and left with Gu Yue and the others.

Watching Su Mo and the others leave, Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt his face burning.

He was actually worried that Su Mo would go back on her word.

But Tang Wulin quickly made an excuse for himself, "But you can't blame me, this is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."

"Su Mo, why should we give them that three-eyed golden lion?"

"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is guaranteed to drop a head soul bone."

On the way out, Wu Siduo couldn't help but ask.

Su Mo glanced back at Wu Siduo and said calmly, "You don't really think Shrek Academy would be so generous as to take out the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul bone, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Siduo immediately understood Su Mo's meaning, and then couldn't help but ask, "Then why would Wu Changkong lie to us?"

"Of course, it's to incite our greed!"

"Greed?"

Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan looked over curiously upon hearing this.

"How should I put it? This test isn't really about survival, but about whether you can control your greed when faced with temptation."

"If we really fight Tang Wulin to the death, everyone will be eliminated."

Gu Yue and the others weren't stupid; after hearing Su Mo's explanation, they immediately understood the purpose of this challenge.

Let's go!

Seeing that Gu Yue and the others had figured it out, Su Mo greeted them.
