Light Unicorn

After walking deeper for another ten minutes, Su Yu saw a group of little yellow dogs.

"Are these Earth Spirit Dogs? The books say these soul beasts are quite gentle, but their cultivation is too low, and their attributes don't suit me."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion martial soul possessed Ultimate Fire and ultimate light attributes, while the Earth Spirit Dog, true to its name, possessed an earth attribute that was completely incompatible with Su Yu.

After entering the forest, Su Yu immediately took out the Barrett. Holding the Barrett gave him a measure of security.

But Su Yu soon found something strange. Every soul beast he encountered would silently follow behind him for a while, only stopping once he entered another soul beast's territory.

Although the soul beasts Su Yu encountered were all relatively gentle, he still had to marvel at the power of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion martial soul.

This was the true awe felt by soul beasts toward their emperor, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Hehe, maybe if I just open my mouth later, a soul beast will sacrifice itself to me." Su Yu smiled, unable to stop himself from secretly thinking that.

Su Yu's idea might actually work. Becoming part of the Emperor Auspicious Beast was something every soul beast yearned for—except for particularly brutal soul beasts, such as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Man Faced Demon Spider.

The first thought such soul beasts would likely have upon seeing Su Yu would be to devour him and increase their cultivation.

As he walked, Su Yu suddenly looked ahead with a strange expression.

Master and Tang San were up ahead. Master had already been poisoned and lay on the ground, while Tang San's hands moved like phantoms, flinging out large quantities of iron weapons.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" The Mandala Snake was continuously kited by Tang San and had no way to get close to him.

Su Yu had not watched for long before Tang San dealt with a Mandala Snake that was more than three hundred years old, leaving Su Yu clicking his tongue in amazement.

"As expected of Tang San. What a freak. He truly deserves to be a genius disciple of the Tang Sect. Right now, I'm indeed no match for him."

Though Su Yu thought this, he was not too discouraged. If he could not compare, then he just had to cultivate harder and surpass him. Jealousy and envy were merely the self-consolation of losers.

Su Yu shook his head and stopped watching Tang San's performance. He had his own business to attend to.

"Miss, a little while ago, there really was a child who rode in my cart, but I don't know whether he was the person you're looking for."

Lao Wang looked at Bi Ji and Zi Ji standing not far before him and spoke with some distress.

"Hehe, thank you." Bi Ji and Zi Ji exchanged glances, both seeing a trace of amusement in the other's eyes.

We found him. That was what both women were thinking. Earlier, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the auspicious beast, had sensed some of Su Yu's aura on Lao Wang's cart.

That was why they had deliberately stopped Lao Wang to question him. They had not expected to actually find a lead. After all, they had been searching for Su Yu for more than a week.

However, the two of them were truly puzzled now. Lao Wang had said it was a human child, but according to what they knew, Su Yu should have been a small soul beast roughly similar to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Aunt Bi Ji, Aunt Zi Ji, let's hurry! I can sense that he's very weak. We should go protect him right away!"

The auspicious beast looked at the stunned Bi Ji and Zi Ji and spoke anxiously.

"Mhm, you're right. Let's go, Bi Ji." Zi Ji and Bi Ji instantly rose into the air and sped toward the Soul Hunting Forest.

"Hehe, I'll finally get to see him. I wonder if he looks like me. Mm, he probably does."

The auspicious beast lay against Bi Ji's chest, secretly thinking to herself. Ever since she was born, Bi Ji, Di Tian, and the others had treated her like a child. Now that someone younger than her had finally appeared, she could finally be an older sister. The thought made her excited.

"I wonder what being an older sister feels like." The more the auspicious beast thought about it, the more excited she became. Right now, she truly wished she could instantly appear at Su Yu's side.

"Zi Ji, doesn't the auspicious beast seem a little strange?" Bi Ji looked at the auspicious beast constantly squirming in her arms and sent Zi Ji a somewhat puzzled message.

"There shouldn't be a problem. Maybe she's just excited that she's about to meet one of her kind." Zi Ji glanced at the auspicious beast, thought for a moment, and then guessed.

"I hope so. But that old man said the new auspicious beast is a human child. What exactly is going on?" Bi Ji sent Zi Ji a message, unable to make sense of it.

"Who knows? But as long as he is an auspicious beast, we must bring him back. He carries the bloodline of the emperor of our soul beast race. We cannot let him remain outside." Zi Ji did not understand it either, but she still sent the message with a solemn expression.

Less than five hundred meters after leaving Tang San, Su Yu spotted a white unicorn over two meters tall. It had wings on its back and looked quite majestic from afar.

"A Light Unicorn. There really is one of these soul beasts here. Its attributes suit me quite well. Not bad, this is the one."

Su Yu tightened his grip on the Barrett and slowly approached the Light Unicorn.

He possessed max-level favorability with soul beasts, but only because the Light Unicorn was among the gentlest kinds of soul beasts did Su Yu dare approach it. Otherwise, he would have long since hidden in a tree and started taking potshots from the shadows.

The instant Su Yu drew near, the Light Unicorn abruptly turned around and watched him vigilantly.

However, the Light Unicorn quickly relaxed. It even walked over to Su Yu and licked him with its large tongue.

"Good, good, good. Light Unicorn, can you become my Soul Ring? I need your strength. Can you agree? If you refuse, I won't blame you." Su Yu stroked the Light Unicorn for a while before looking at it with a smile.

After speaking, Su Yu looked at the Light Unicorn expectantly.

"Neigh, neigh!" Su Yu watched as the Light Unicorn nodded one moment and shook its head the next, leaving him stunned.

For some reason, others might not have understood the Light Unicorn's movements at all, but Su Yu could fully understand them.

"You're saying that you have a child and cannot become my Soul Ring, but you know a powerful soul beast that can become my Soul Ring?"

"Neigh, neigh!" The Light Unicorn nodded. As it spoke, it prepared to lead Su Yu over and gestured for him to climb onto its back.

"Thank you." Su Yu smiled, then leaped directly onto the Light Unicorn's back.

Once Su Yu was seated, the Light Unicorn spread its enormous wings and flew directly toward the eastern side of the forest.

The Soul Hunting Forest was not large. Before long, Su Yu arrived outside a cave dwelling seven or eight hundred meters away.

The Light Unicorn did not enter. Instead, it let out a series of cries at the entrance.

Not long afterward, Su Yu heard a violent rumbling sound, as if something was walking.
