Answering Di Tian's Summons
Two days later, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
An ordinary young man, accompanied by a beautiful girlfriend, walked into the depths of the forest as if on a picnic.
The two were Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan, who had come to keep their appointment with the Beast God.
The Star Dou Great Forest seemed unusually quiet today. Zhou Huan hadn't seen a single Soul Beast along the way, not even one at the tenth-level.
Even ordinary small animals didn't dare to approach Zhou Huan and his companion.
This eerie, deserted atmosphere, if placed in a horror movie, would definitely be the calm before a storm, signaling the imminent arrival of a monster.
However, Zhou Huan guessed that this was probably Di Tian's arrangement. After all, the Beast God also had a certain air about him, and it wouldn't be proper for a few Soul Beast to suddenly appear and harass guests on their way. That would be a bit beneath him.
Zhou Huan took a deep breath of the pure natural air, and holding Zhang Lexuan's hand, said, "Sister Lexuan, why are you so serious? We're here at least by invitation, not to be on our way to the execution ground. Cheer up, let's think of it as a honeymoon, a honeymoon at the Lake of Life! We're the only ones in the entire Douluo Continent who're doing this, it'll scare people if they hear about it."
Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at Zhou Huan speechlessly, and finally retorted, "I'm not as clueless as you."
They are heading towards Land of Great Peril. Who knows why the Beast God sent Zhou Huan here? What if he suddenly goes berserk and kills Zhou Huan without regard for the consequences?
Previously, during the Beast Tide, it was only because Mu En and Xuan Zi temporarily trapped Di Tian, and in addition, a large number of Soul Tool Shell threatened the Soul Beast army, that Di Tian was able to barely retreat.
At this moment, it was just her and Zhou Huan.
Zhang Lexuan wasn't as carefree as Zhou Huan. At a time like this, she was still talking about a honeymoon? What kind of honeymoon was that?
Whose honeymoon destination is full of Ferocious Beast?
Zhou Huan, of course, had no idea that his girlfriend had been mentally ranting about him hundreds of times. He was still happily holding Zhang Lexuan's hand, looking around aimlessly.
There's no rush anyway. The agreed-upon date is today, but they didn't specify the time.
Today is a perfect day for Star Dou Great Forest to be free of Soul Beast interference. Normally, who would dare to wander around this largest gathering place of Soul Beast so freely?
Just as it was nearly noon, Zhou Huan was preparing to take his girlfriend out for a barbecue when a Scarlet Demon Mastiff with three large heads suddenly appeared in front of them. Its six large eyes stared at Zhou Huan with obvious hostility, and it said in an extremely displeased tone, "Di Tian is asking you, how long are you going to loiter around here?"
The person who came... uh, no, the beast that came was none other than the Scarlet King, ranked eighth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beast.
Seeing that even the Scarlet King had been sent by Di Tian to run errands, Zhou Huan knew he couldn't continue his stroll through the Star Dou Forest. So he said, "We rarely come to the Star Dou Great Forest, so we're just taking a casual look to broaden our horizons. Let's head to the Lake of Life now."
Upon hearing Zhou Huan say that he rarely comes to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Scarlet King's expression actually became less unpleasant.
After all, everyone knows perfectly well what Soul Master do when they come to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Zhou Huan rarely comes to the Star Dou Great Forest, which means he hasn't killed many Soul Fighting Beasts.
This was what the Scarlet King was thinking at the moment, so his tone softened. "Come with me."
So, led by the Scarlet King, Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan headed straight for the Lake of Life.
With a three-headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff by his side, Zhou Huan couldn't very well show it affection, so he focused on getting on his way.
As soon as Zhou Huan stepped into the area of Lake of Life, he felt refreshed and invigorated. The pure energy and fresh air were unlike anything found in the human world, and were even better than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Zhou Huan unconsciously took several deep breaths, and Zhang Lexuan, seeing this, decisively and almost imperceptibly moved away from him by half a step.
When Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan arrived at the Lake of Life, they only saw Di Tian and Bi Ji; there was no trace of any other Ferocious Beast.
Even the Scarlet King, after bringing Zhou Huan and the other person there, left on his own initiative.
At this moment, Di Tian and Bi Ji were sitting in an ancient pavilion, where tea and snacks were even laid out on the stone table.
Zhou Huan raised an eyebrow at the sight. He truly hadn't expected that Di Tian would build a human-style pavilion next to the Lake of Life.
In Zhou Huan's understanding, under normal circumstances, Soul Beast would not like humans, let alone learn to build pavilions or drink tea and eat snacks like humans.
But Di Tian and Bi Ji in front of them acted like a host couple waiting for guests, drinking tea and chatting.
Just as Zhou Huan was slightly taken aback, Di Tian spoke up, "Come here, do you expect me to come and invite you?"
Hearing this, Zhou Huan wasn't embarrassed. He took Zhang Lexuan's hand and walked into the pavilion, then gave a simple cupped-hand salute and said, "Greetings, Senior Di Tian and Senior Bi Ji."
Upon seeing this, Di Tian revealed a half-smile on his face, whether it was mockery or simply finding it amusing, and said, "A few days ago when you brought more than a dozen Level Nine Soul Tool Shell, you didn't have this many gifts."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan laughed nonchalantly, "Senior Di Tian must have misunderstood. Where would you find such a thing as a Level Nine Soul Tool Shell? Those are things that only the Sun Moon Empire can produce. Shrek has always been weak in Soul Tool, and we absolutely have no ability to build such large-scale weapons of mass destruction."
Di Tian: "..."
At this moment, Bi Ji cleverly interjected, "Please, both of you, have a seat."
Although Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan are both young in terms of age, the Ferocious Beast beasts never judge people by age, because no matter how old you are, you can never be older than them. So, the Ferocious Beast judge people by their strength.
Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan's strength is already comparable to, or even surpasses, that of Bi Ji and the others.
Therefore, in Bi Ji's opinion, Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan were qualified to sit and discuss things with them.
Zhou Huan, without any hesitation, pulled Zhang Lexuan to sit down and then began introducing his girlfriend. "Seniors, this is my girlfriend. You probably don't know her name yet, right? Her name is Zhang Lexuan, and she is also the vice dean of the Shrek's Martial Soul Department."
Di Tian simply nodded slightly; he didn't actually care about Zhang Lexuan.
Bi Ji then added with praise, "Dean Zhang is young and promising, with a bright future ahead of him."
In terms of interpersonal skills, Bi Ji, the Healing Type Ferocious Beast, is clearly more adept.
As for Di Tian, his strength had long surpassed that of all beings below the god level on the Douluo Continent. He had no need to entertain people; he was always the one being received. There was no need for him, the dignified Beast God, to say any polite words.
Therefore, Di Tian always spoke quite bluntly, "Zhou Huan, you certainly have commendable courage to come here. However, are you really not afraid that I will kill you here?"
Hearing this, Zhou Huan smiled and casually said, "I'm not afraid. Since I dared to come, I must have something to rely on."
Di Tian's gaze flickered slightly, instantly scanning Zhou Huan from head to toe. He said, "With your Level Nine Soul Tool Shell? At this distance, if I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't even have time to detonate it."
However, Zhou Huan remained calm. "Putting aside Senior Di Tian, a dignified Beast God, he certainly wouldn't stoop to such a close-quarters sneak attack; furthermore, if Senior still wants to make a move after seeing the surprise I brought, I will absolutely not retaliate."
This piqued Di Tian's curiosity. "Oh? I'd really like to see what this surprise you've been talking about so many times is. If it doesn't satisfy me, I won't kill you, but you can forget about leaving the Lake of Life again."
Hearing what Di Tian said, Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, but when she saw Zhou Huan's relaxed expression, she felt a little relieved.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Huan suddenly produced a golden light that appeared before everyone, and inside the light lay... a girl with long, wavy blue hair!
"Auspicious Beast?"
Di Tian suddenly stood up, his terrifying aura seemingly about to erupt at any moment.
Immediately, Di Tian's golden eyes stared directly at Zhou Huan, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the situation with the Auspicious Beast? What did you do to her?"
