"Damn it!!"
Zhongli Wu's face was extremely ugly. Not only did he fail to capture the auspicious beast, but he was also dragged into a self-destruction by the Crimson King.
"retreat!"
A single blow shattered the cage of fire that had trapped them.
They immediately used their unique abilities and ran away.
The formation bestowed by the Holy Emperor is not so easily shattered by a self-destruction. At worst, they can wait for the aftershocks to subside before searching for the auspicious beast. The Holy Spirit Sect has already suffered so much loss; if they still cannot obtain the auspicious beast, they might incur the Holy Emperor's wrath...
At the same time, another beam of light rose from the other side of the forest, clearly the auspicious aura of a mythical beast.
……
"The Crimson King actually self-destructed?"
Lu Cheng sighed as he gazed at the apocalyptic scene in the distance. After all, it was a Hellhound that had been around for over 300,000 years. Such a sight was not in vain after all those years of cultivation.
I just don't know if Zhongliwu will be blown to bits.
That might be a bit difficult. That old guy is, after all, the number one person below the limit of the continent, someone who can easily defeat Xuanzi with one hand. He has been away from the continent for many years and has countless ways to protect himself.
Glancing to the side, the auspicious beast, still somewhat dizzy, having absorbed Lu Cheng's rich and colorful "human world" life (excluding simulation content), smiled.
If Di Tian knew about this, he would probably be furious.
Over the years, he did indeed become a blond-haired kid.
As for the information the auspicious beast exchanged with him, he digested it in an instant. To put it bluntly, apart from seeing the true forms of Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, it was all meaningless information.
Even with tens of thousands of years, it remains peacefully dull and tedious.
No wonder the auspicious beast was able to be tricked by Huo Gua in the original work.
The human world is indeed far too novel and deadly compared to the world of spirit beasts.
"No, Crimson King!!" The auspicious beast's voice was tinged with sorrow and pain. Although she often found it annoying that her protector wouldn't let her sneak out of the Star Dou Great Forest, she was still somewhat saddened that he had died for her.
"The Red King is dead, what should we do now?"
The auspicious beast murmured.
She had just witnessed the vibrant world through the eyes of this human boy, a temptation that was undeniably irresistible to her. But the problem was, even survival was uncertain, let alone the thought of exploring the vast world beyond her reach…
"Little brat, don't underestimate this old man."
Electrox's spellcasting animation finally finished, and he spoke with a smile. Then, he swung his staff, and dark light pierced through the heavens and earth, tearing the sky and the world apart.
It finally revealed the original appearance of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Out!
……
Chapter 170 Auspicious Beast: He's Different! Rewards: 100,000-Year-Old Golden Tortoise Shell + One Piece of Living Gold (3K)
Damn it!
Zhongli Wu finally understood what it meant to be caught between a rock and a hard place. The Crimson King's self-destruction had swept them away, and for some unknown reason, a beam of light had forcibly broken through the seal behind them, completely exposing them to the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.
I'm afraid that within seconds, Di Tian will be rushing out in a panic.
If we don't leave soon, I'm afraid I'll really have to stay here.
"Damn little beast, I'll remember you..." Zhongli Wu bared his teeth, glanced coldly at the dark purple pillar of light that rose into the sky in the distance, and fled into the distance with Wu Yun, Ye Guyi and the others.
Lu Cheng and the auspicious beast reappeared in the sky above the forest.
"call……"
Breathing in the fresh air, Lu Cheng let out a long breath of stale air.
Fortunately, these guys didn't take the auspicious beast away, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. After all, in his eyes, the auspicious beast was not just a simple soul beast or auspicious creature, but also involved the grand plan of a certain high-ranking figure in the God Realm. Now that he and Wang Dong'er had lost control, the latter had reached out to the auspicious beast, and her intentions were certainly not pure...
"Thank you for your help." The auspicious beast's expression was complicated, and it hesitated to speak.
She felt no ill will toward these humans; on the contrary, after exchanging memories, she felt a greater longing and yearning for the colorful human world.
"And what is the outside world like?"
Lu Cheng's eyes twitched. "This matter... cough cough has nothing to do with me. Even if you want to go, please don't mention me."
"Don't worry." The auspicious beast gazed into the distance of the forest. As dawn broke, its brilliant light illuminated the earth, bringing life and vitality to everything. A hint of expectation appeared in her pale golden eyes: "I will go and see for myself."
Just as Lu Cheng was secretly thinking that things were going to go wrong and fearing that Di Tian would beat him up, a scorching aura suddenly entered his sea of consciousness.
"Red King?!!"
Lu Cheng's expression was strange. This ball of fiery red mist was clearly the Crimson King that had just self-destructed, but...
"Huh, the main consciousness didn't dissipate much, and it still carries a lot of the original body's energy reserves. Hiss... Kid, you've struck gold. This is similar to the Snow Empress's state before the sacrifice. It must be some inherent characteristic of her Cerberus that caused her soul to not dissipate directly after death, but instead retained a part of it. Although it's currently in a deep sleep, you can guide it..."
"Doesn't that mean I've found my sixth soul ring?" Lu Cheng asked with a strange expression.
It must have been the aura of the soul beasts like Tianmeng and Xuedi that attracted this unclaimed consciousness, just as Tianmeng's Ice Silkworm sacrifice had attracted Ilex.
They came all this way, rescued the auspicious beast, and even got a top-tier spirit ring that was over 300,000 years old. On the other hand, those Holy Spirit Cult guys came up empty-handed...
"Roar!!!"
A dragon's roar suddenly echoed from afar. A black dragon appeared, blotting out the sky. Di Tian, filled with rage, rushed towards the direction in which Zhong Liwu and the others had fled. He was filled with boundless fury. How dare they touch an imperial auspicious beast? They must be drunk...
Lu Cheng couldn't hide his smile, and he almost got himself killed on the spot.
It's really quite interesting.
However, he did not absorb it immediately. Instead, he focused his gaze on the distant sky, where a black dragon roared, blotting out the sun, and the clouds rolled. The dark aura represented by Zhongliwu was shattered in an instant. Just when Lu Cheng thought that guy would perish here, another figure slowly appeared.
The latter also rode a black dragon, staring at the lofty Di Tian.
Yet they showed no fear whatsoever.
"Di Tian, one should be lenient when one can," Long Xiaoyao said calmly.
"Bullshit!" Di Tian's voice boomed like thunder, his vertical pupils exuding authority as he glared at Long Xiaoyao: "Dare to covet the auspiciousness of my Soul Beast race, then die here!"
"Hehe, the auspicious beast is not currently in my possession. If you don't go looking for it soon, I'm afraid something bad will really happen," Long Xiaoyao said calmly.
"..."
Di Tian coldly glanced at Long Xiaoyao, his golden eyes flashing, "My Soul Beast Clan will remember this grudge." With that, he turned and dashed away.
This guy wasn't alone; there was also a Limit Douluo behind him.
If they really get into a fight, it could be troublesome.
Auspicious beasts are important.
Seeing Di Tian's figure disappear, Long Xiaoyao visibly breathed a sigh of relief. The oppressive aura of the Black Dragon King Di Tian was no joke. The strength of his Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores was more than one level stronger than those Limit Douluos who were in the same position and resonated with each other.
If Di Tianzhen really wanted to keep them at all costs, along with the other ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, he could actually do it.
"Let's go..."
Long Xiaoyao exhaled a breath of turbid air, holding Zhongli Wu in one hand and Ye Guyi in the other. The massive black dragon's body carried the remnants of the defeated army and Zhang Peng and the others, who fled far away.
……
The core area of the Starry Sky Forest.
All around are towering ancient trees that block out the sky, with intricate patterns and thick trunks, while in the very center is a tranquil lake, its surface shimmering and exuding a rich sense of life.
"So...it was you who saved the auspicious beast?"
Di Tian's eyes flickered.
As they sized up the handsome human boy, a strange look flashed across their faces. If it were an ordinary person, encountering a group of ferocious beasts watching them, they would at least be trembling with fear, their words slurred, if not wet themselves. But this boy…
“Not bad,” Lu Cheng said with a smile.
"So what does the Emperor intend to reward me with?"
"You humans hunt soul beasts, and even set your sights on auspicious beasts. You have now saved the emperor and rendered meritorious service, which at most cancels out your demerits. Yet you dare to ask me for credit. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to vent my anger?" Di Tian snorted coldly, looking down at Lu Cheng from his high position. Clearly, he had just been tricked by those humans, and his anger had not yet dissipated.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Lu Cheng shook his head, his face showing disappointment: "I never thought that the Black Dragon King Di Tian would be so arrogant and unreasonable. I should not have risked saving the auspicious beast. Now that I have escaped by luck, I am going to lose my life here."
"..."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Black Dragon Emperor's face twitched, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
It naturally cares about its reputation, especially its reputation.
Originally, it was just meant to scare him, to intimidate him with the power of the black dragon, but who would have thought... this kid wasn't afraid of it at all, and the imposing aura from before vanished.
"This is my savior!" the auspicious beast said discontentedly.
"You actually want to kill him?!"
Di Tian: "..."
Which way does your elbow point?
We've only known each other for a few days? No, just a few minutes?
“I didn’t…” Di Tian said speechlessly.
"Then you might as well kill me too," the auspicious beast said, sidling up to Lu Cheng.
Di Tian's eyes twitched violently. Why was the auspicious beast right in front of him, yet he clearly felt that he was about to lose it?
"Boy, what do you want?" Di Tian stared at Lu Cheng with some dissatisfaction. After Emerald Swan Brigitte nudged his arm from the side, he reluctantly spoke.
"I want a ten-thousand-year-old golden tortoiseshell..." Lu Cheng said calmly.
In the original story, the golden hawksbill turtle devoured one-fifth of the life gold buried at the bottom of the Lake of Life. Originally, it had a cultivation of 100,000 years, but it suffered a backlash and its cultivation has now regressed to that of a golden hawksbill turtle with a cultivation of only 20,000 to 30,000 years. It is even on the verge of death. If it wants to get its hands on it, it must do it step by step. It cannot reveal the secret to Di Tian directly, otherwise it will be impossible to obtain that piece of life gold.
"..." Di Tian frowned slightly. Golden hawksbill turtles are extremely rare and precious soul beasts. Almost every one of them has a cultivation level of over ten thousand years. They have almost no threshold for advancement and are extremely long-lived.
"One isn't enough, I'll give you three... Waaaaah!" Before the auspicious beast could finish speaking, Bi Ji covered its mouth and dragged it to the back.
Di Tian hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's possible."
"I don't want much. Ideally, it would be a golden tortoiseshell that's on the verge of death and doesn't have many days left to live. It wouldn't be a loss for me to sacrifice it," Lu Cheng continued.
