Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

The three of them appeared silently on the shore of the Lake of Life.

With a dragon's roar from Di Tian, ​​several ferocious beasts appeared one after another.

After seeing Di Tian, ​​they greeted him and then simultaneously turned their attention to Xu Yang and Gu Yuena beside him.

Apart from Di Tian, ​​none of the ferocious beasts had ever seen Gu Yuena in human form.

They only learned of her existence from Di Tian. But they could all sense that the woman was extraordinary.

Because Di Tian was standing a step behind Gu Yuena.

Moreover, Di Tian seemed very respectful; the beasts hadn't lived this long without being brainless.

Even Xiong Jun, who was always ridiculed by the Demon King for having only mating and fighting on his mind, stood obediently to the side at this moment.

Seeing that the ferocious beasts had all gathered, Xu Yang let go of the hand that Gu Yuena had been holding.

He looked at Di Tian, ​​his meaning clear: he wanted Di Tian to introduce him.

Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena, and after seeing her nod slightly, he pointed to a woman and introduced her:

"This is Brigitte, ranked fourth among the ten most ferocious beasts in your human rankings. Her true form is a jade swan with nearly 600,000 years of cultivation."

Xu Yang looked Brigitte up and down. Her hair was emerald green, her face was gentle, and her back had a pair of very eye-catching white wings.

Its tail feathers have a vibrant green hue.

Her face wasn't exactly stunningly beautiful, but it was very pleasing to the eye, and her figure was similar to Gu Yuena's.

The entire spirit beast gives people a very friendly feeling, no wonder it is said that Bi Ji is the gentlest of the ten ferocious beasts and the one with the least malice towards humans.

Having learned from his experience with Gu Yuena, Xu Yang glanced at her once and then looked away.

Di Tian's voice rang out again, pointing to two men with distinctive features:

"They are the Demon King and the Bear King, whose true forms are the Demon Eye Tree with 550,000 years of cultivation and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear with nearly 500,000 years of cultivation, respectively."

Both the Demon King and the Bear King are quite distinctive; one is slender with a pair of eerie eyes.

As Xu Yang looked at him, the Demon King's gaze met his. Upon seeing the purple glint in Xu Yang's eyes, he instinctively looked away.

As for Xiong Jun, he was the largest person present, nearly two and a half meters tall, with a face full of fierce flesh. He looked like he could flatten the frail Demon King with a single slap.

At this moment, they obediently huddled up.

Di Tian pointed to another person and introduced, "That is the Crimson King, whose true form is a three-headed Crimson Demon Hound with 300,000 years of cultivation." He is also the current patriarch of the Crimson Demon Hound clan.

This was the only one present who still appeared in his true form, because he had a small beast that looked like a puppy on his back.

Upon seeing this, Di Tian wanted to wake up the little beast on the Crimson King's body, but Xu Yang shook his head and refused.

Di Tian had no choice but to continue his introduction.

"As for the last one, it is Zi Ji, whose true form is the Demon Dragon King of Hell."

Zi Ji had a head of beautiful purple hair, which was the complete opposite of Bi Ji. She was very alluring, and had an outrageous figure.

Xu Yang quickly looked away after just one glance.

That's all...

After Di Tian finished his introduction, he seemed to have completed his task and waited for Xu Yang to continue.

Xu Yang reviewed his future employees and found that, apart from Brigitte, who seemed to have good potential, the rest were simply a bunch of oddballs.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully and said:

"Wait a minute, Senior Di Tian, ​​I heard there's another ferocious beast called Demon Spirit... but I haven't seen it."

He remembered that such a person existed, but they didn't seem to have much of a presence in the original story. Even when Di Tian launched the beast tide because of the death of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he didn't seem to have seen that person's figure.

"You mean the demon spirit? He went to travel across the continent."

"He felt there was nothing interesting in the Star Dou Great Forest, so he decided to go out for a stroll, and we couldn't be bothered with him. It seems like the last time he came back was thirty years ago."

The Crimson King, who had the most contact with the demon spirits, explained.

However, only one of the three heads had an opening; the other two remained closed.

"Is it that one person is responsible for eating, one for drinking, and one for talking?"

Xu Yang began to let his thoughts wander.

"Should I call him back?"

Di Tian took the initiative to step forward and ask.

Xu Yang shook his head and waved his hand.

"No need, I have other things to do right now."

He took the initiative to stand in front of the several ferocious beasts and introduced himself in a very familiar manner.

"My name is Xu Yang. The reason I called you here today is to inform you of something."

"As the representative of your Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian has established a strategic partnership with me."

"Let's jointly develop a project called artificial soul rings."

"And what you have to do is cooperate with me as much as you can in the project, such as providing me with some of your blood, hair or other things as appropriate."

"But you can rest assured, I will not do anything to endanger your lives."

"And during the project, my words were the guiding principle."

"Disobedient soul beasts will be punished."

"This will be overseen by Ditian."

"As for the rest, don't ask about it. Knowing too much is not good for you."

"Anyone who disagrees can try their luck with Di Tian's fist. If Di Tian can't handle it..."

"See this one? This is your mysterious master. You can talk to her if you don't mind."

Gu Yuena's face visibly darkened considerably.

Di Tian witnessed all of this.

She began to silently pray for Xu Yang.

"Hey, why is he praying for Xu Yang...?"

"It can't be that he can heal the master's injuries, or that artificial spirit rings can effectively reduce the death rate of spirit beasts, right?"

The beasts didn't quite understand what Xu Yang meant, but it was clear that he wanted them to listen to him from now on.

Moreover, Di Tian and the mysterious woman whom Xu Yang referred to as their master both agreed.

Just as Xiong Jun was about to lash out, he noticed that Gu Yuena, who was standing behind Xu Yang, released a trace of her aura.

"That...that is?"

Their senses were crystal clear; that power was definitely not something these soul beasts could possess. And there was also that faint, overwhelming pressure of bloodline power that surpassed everyone present…

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also awoke after sensing the oppressive power of Gu Yuena's bloodline and began to mobilize its own power to resist.

It had originally intended to call out to Di Tian, ​​but upon glancing at Di Tian, ​​who was also kneeling obediently to the side, it wisely kept quiet.

Only Xiong Jun vaguely felt familiar with that power; such an aura only appeared when Di Tian unleashed the Dragon Claw technique.

According to Di Tian himself, it was a divine skill.

Doesn't that mean that this mysterious woman really is the mysterious master that Di Tian mentioned?

So, driven by his natural instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, he was the first to kneel down.

Furthermore, he lowered his head very low while shouting.

"As the Lord commands."

As for the other ferocious beasts, they all followed suit and shouted in the same way:

"As the Lord commands!"
