"Little Ancestor! Little Ancestor!"
Accompanied by urgent calls, a dark red figure arrived fiercely, following the scent of the Three-eyed Golden Lion, and stood in front of it, looking at Shen He warily.
Once the figure settled, Shen He could see the Soul Beast's form clearly. It was a magnificent lion-like Soul Beast, over five meters long, with three identical heads, each over a meter in diameter. Terrifying canine teeth in its mouths gleamed with crimson gold.
"Little Ancestor, I finally found you. What's going on with this human?"
The Soul Beast spoke in human language, glanced at the Three-eyed Golden Lion, who was dirty and injured, and bared its teeth, looking at Shen He with hostility.
Crimson King!
Shen He recognized the Soul Beast's identity from its three large heads. At this point in time, its cultivation hadn't yet broken through 300,000 years, the eighth-ranked of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the Three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, not only a super Soul Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, but also the clan leader of the Three-Headed Red Demon Dog clan and the Three-eyed Golden Lion's bodyguard—Crimson King.
Shen He wasn't afraid, just shrugged and pointed to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse on the side.
Crimson King glanced at the traces left by the Three-eyed Golden Lion and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's battle, and had some guesses about what had happened. The hostile look in its eyes towards Shen He softened immediately.
"Little Ancestor, how many times have I told you? Don't run around randomly. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is different from other Soul Beasts; it won't care about your identity as an Imperial Beast!"
The Three-eyed Golden Lion knew it was in the wrong, unable to hide its embarrassment.
It slowly lowered its head and rubbed against Crimson King's sturdy legs, as if saying, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."
The Three-eyed Golden Lion used cuteness to get away with it, effect remarkable!
Two of Crimson King's three heads showed obvious helplessness, while the mouth of the remaining one couldn't speak because it was holding a Soft Bone Rabbit.
"You just went out for a little while, and you sneaked off and almost got eaten by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. If something happened to you, how would I explain it to Di Tian?"
"Crimson King, if it weren't for that human, you'd probably have to go look for me in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's belly."
The Three-eyed Golden Lion pointed at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse and Shen He, saying to Crimson King with grievance.
"Thanks to that human, I was able to survive."
"By the way, human, I don't even know your name yet?"
"Shen He."
Shen He didn't show any fear of Crimson King. After hearing the Three-eyed Golden Lion's question, he generously gave his name.
"Looks like just an ordinary human with ordinary strength, yet he could kill that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with one blow?"
Crimson King looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, which didn't have any signs of fighting, only a fatal wound on its head, and knew that Shen He was hiding extraordinary strength.
"Thank you for saving the Three-eyed Golden Lion from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Judging from the way your Soul Power fluctuates, and the fact that you appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, you probably need a Soul Ring to break through in Soul Power."
"To show my gratitude, feel free to ask. Whatever Attribute or year Soul Ring you want, I, Crimson King, can get it for you!"
Shen He shook his head upon hearing Crimson King's good intentions and pointed to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse.
"Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need to go looking. I think the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring is pretty good. I'll just trouble you to protect me while I absorb the Soul Ring."
Although Shen He had just reached Soul Elder, the confidence given to him by the Sacred Body Martial Soul made him decide to absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring.
"Are you sure? The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has over ten thousand years of cultivation. This Soul Ring won't be easy to absorb."
Crimson King was puzzled to see Shen He wanting to absorb a ten-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring at such a young age. Being strong didn't mean he didn't have to follow the rules of Soul Ring absorption. The difficulty of absorbing a ten-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring was quite high, and he could explode and die if he wasn't careful.
"Naturally, I'm not afraid."
Shen He smiled, and golden dragon-shaped blood energy turned into divine flames, surrounding him. Two yellow Hundred Year Soul Rings appeared on Shen He's body. Then, Shen He sat down cross-legged, ready to draw in the black Soul Ring that appeared on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse.
This scene shocked Crimson King and the Three-eyed Golden Lion. A Soul Elder actually killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with one blow and wanted to absorb its Soul Ring!
"You only have Soul Elder cultivation; you absolutely cannot absorb this Soul Ring!"
Seeing Shen He reveal his Soul Rings, the Three-eyed Golden Lion shouted and tried to stop him, but it was too late. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ten-thousand-year black Soul Ring had already firmly been placed on Shen He.
The surging Soul Ring power instantly washed over Shen He's body. The scorching energy injection made the golden blood energy boil like the sea, rushing out of Shen He's body in an instant, then turning into a dragon shape and soaring into the sky.
Each of Shen He's heartbeats was like a divine drum beating, driving the Sacred Body to forcibly digest the powerful energy brought by the ten-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring.
As Shen He continuously absorbed the Soul Ring energy, the Three-eyed Golden Lion, who was watching from the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when everyone thought that this Soul Ring absorption was about to end, the remnant soul of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in Shen He's mental space launched a long-planned attack at the moment he relaxed.
Dense evil energy, accompanied by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's remnant soul's mental attack, struck Shen He's defenseless soul.
Crap! I forgot that when absorbing a Soul Ring from a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, there would be a remnant soul counterattack! Careless! No dodge!
When absorbing the Soul Ring, Shen He only considered his Sacred Body's powerful physique but forgot to consider whether his soul could withstand the soul impact.
Under the fierce soul impact, Shen He suddenly let out a muffled groan. His original powerful aura began to weaken, and evil energy gradually began to invade Shen He's soul. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's remnant soul wanted to take this human who killed it with him.
Seeing that Shen He's situation was not good, the Three-eyed Golden Lion knew that he couldn't withstand the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring's soul impact. As Shen He was its savior, it naturally couldn't just watch him die.
"Crimson King! I want to save him! He saved my life before; now it's my turn to save him."
The Three-eyed Golden Lion looked at Shen He, the third eye on its forehead shining with a strange light, and said to Crimson King with great determination.
"Little Ancestor! You've already said that, what else can I do?"
Seeing that the Three-eyed Golden Lion's attitude was so firm, Crimson King had no choice but to let it do as it pleased.
Besides, even if it did that thing, it wouldn't cause too much harm to the Imperial Beast.
If the Imperial Beast was willing, it had no reason to stop it, so let it be!
In this situation, the Three-eyed Golden Lion knew that only it could save Shen He.
The Three-eyed Golden Lion glanced at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, walked to Shen He's front, and pressed the vertical eye on its forehead tightly against Shen He's forehead.
Attribute Reception, no one knows what this means for the Imperial Beast.
This was the Three-eyed Golden Lion's biggest secret, but now it was going to give it to Shen He, who had saved its life.
