Lake of Life, Lake Heart Island.
This is the true core of Star Dou Forest, the place where the vitality and life energy of heaven and earth are the most concentrated. The blue water of the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the skylight and cloud shadows. The breath of life is so rich that it almost turns into liquid permeates the air. Just one breath can extend the life of ordinary creatures.
By the lakeside, under a towering ancient tree, a woman in an emerald green dress is sitting quietly with her eyes closed. She has a beautiful face, a gentle and ethereal temperament, and a soft and majestic breath of life flowing around her, as if she is connected with the entire forest and this lake of Lake of Life are all integrated into one. She is one of the guardians of Star Dou Forest, Emerald Swan, Bi Ji who have cultivated for more than 500,000 years.
She is sorting out the veins of life naturally escaping in the forest, feeling the prosperity of countless creatures. This is her daily practice, and it is also her way of protecting the forest. Her pure and gentle Mental Power is like invisible water waves, gently blowing through every inch of land in the core area, sensing the status of those powerful people, comforting the occasionally restless Soul Beast, and being ready to respond to the call of any injured creature.
Suddenly--
"Yo--!"
A weak, sad cry, full of endless unwillingness and confusion, was like the sharpest ice pick, piercing into the gentle and peaceful spiritual perception of Bi Ji!
"No--!!!"
Bi Ji opened her eyes suddenly. The originally clear and gentle emerald green eyes that seemed to contain endless vitality were instantly replaced by unbelievable shock, heartbreaking pain, and... overwhelming anger! Her gentle and ethereal temperament was gone, replaced by a terrifying pressure that made the entire Lake of Life tremble!
"Who?! Who dares to kill my people?! In this Star Dou Core area, kill me Emerald Swan Clan!!!"
The green dress moved automatically without wind, and the vast sea-like breath of life was no longer gentle, but turned into a violent life storm, spreading suddenly with Bi Ji as the center! Huge waves set off on the lake surface, the surrounding ancient trees swayed crazily, and countless weak Soul Beast living nearby crawled to the ground in fear, shivering.
She resisted the urge to rush over immediately, and with a choked voice and infinite murderous intent, she sent a spiritual message full of sorrow and anger to the deepest part of Lake of Life:
"Di Tian!... Killed near the southeast! The murderer's... remaining aura is extremely dark, with a strong sense of devouring! It may be for the pure life force of our clan!"
Di Tian must be informed immediately! This is the trace of reason that Bi Ji still retains in the extreme sorrow and anger. Although Emerald Swan Clan has a respected status, its frontal combat effectiveness is indeed not strong. The murderer who dares to kill Emerald Swan in the core area is by no means an easy person, and is probably the target. The very few evil Soul Beasts who possess the pure vitality of their clan and have the ability to devour them! This matter cannot be easily solved by her alone. It must be decided by Di Tians. It may even require the cooperation of several Ferocious Beasts in the core area to ensure that nothing goes wrong, to uncover and completely eradicate such scourges!
After the sound transmission was completed, she could no longer hold back, and her figure turned into a stream of emerald green light. With unprecedented killing intent and anxiety, it shot towards the direction of the cry - near the southeast area! The speed was so fast that it left a lingering emerald green light trail of Jiujiu in the air. Wherever it passed, vegetation grew wildly.
The sudden burst of Bi Ji's breath, the transmission and departure of the sad and angry spirit, were like throwing a huge boulder into a calm lake, instantly alarming the entire Lake of Life area.
"Huh?"
A low, majestic voice that seemed to contain endless power sounded from the deepest part of Lake of Life. The lake parted silently, and a tall and burly figure slowly rose from the bottom of the lake. He was dressed in black robes, with a simple face, and a pair of golden eyes like the scorching sun. Just standing there, the invisible dragon's power made the air around him stagnant. It was the real master of Star Dou Forest, Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Beast God--Di Tian.
He heard Bi Ji's voice transmission, and also clearly sensed Bi Ji's undisguised sadness and anger, as well as the distant fluctuations belonging to the severance of the Emerald Swan Clan's bloodline. In his golden eyes, the cold light suddenly surged!
"Emerald Swan was attacked and killed? In the core area? Against the vitality?" Di Tian's voice was cold and emotionless, but the surrounding lake instantly froze for several feet! His huge spiritual will was like an invisible sky, instantly covering the direction of Cuiling's fall.
His spiritual thoughts swept over, and he keenly captured and analyzed the remaining, rich, icy breath, the weak but clear smell of the ocean, especially the dark evil force full of destruction, devouring, and targeting Life Origin.
"This breath..." Di Tian's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of understanding and colder murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes, "The darkness is full of malice, swallowing, and targeting the vitality... It is the hybrid tiger that likes to hunt the powerful Soul Beast, and especially prefers to devour the high vitality Soul Beast Origin to evolve!"
He thought of the notorious and mysterious dark evil tiger in Star Dou Forest. That tiger possesses the rare Evil God Bloodline and can evolve by swallowing Soul Beast. It is also cunning and cruel in nature, and especially likes to hunt for vitality. The pure and majestic vitality of the powerful or special Soul Beast. Emerald Swan Clan is undoubtedly a very tempting tonic to it! No wonder Bi Ji judged that the murderer came for the vitality of their clan.
After the last expulsion, this guy was so evil that he dared to sneak into the core area and attack Emerald Swan? He was simply seeking death!
As for that hint of ocean smell... maybe it was caused by the bastard tiger being contaminated somewhere recently or swallowing some kind of Sea Soul Beast. It doesn't matter.
"Humph, Bi Ji expected it to be right. It must have been the work of that evil beast!" Di Tian's eyes grew colder. Attacking and killing Emerald Swan has already touched his scales, let alone the evil behavior of devouring life force. Emerald Swan Clan is the cornerstone of the balance and prosperity of the forest, and such disasters must not be allowed to exist!
"Bi Ji has rushed there first..." Di Tian thought in his mind. Although Bi Ji has a high level of cultivation, he is better at treatment and assistance. Frontal fighting is not an option. Long. That Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is cunning and cruel, and since he dares to go deep into the core area to take action, he must have someone to rely on, or he is strong and diligent. Bi Ji left with anger, just in case anything goes wrong...
"Huh?" Just when Di Tian was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. His huge spiritual thoughts instantly swept to a certain direction at the junction of the periphery of Star Dou Forest, the mixed zone and the core zone - that is the usual habitat patrol area of Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.
According to common sense, if such a vicious event occurs on the edge of the core area, the energy fluctuations and Emerald Swan's death cry will inevitably be noticed. These two guys should have rushed to inspect or even intercept. However...
As far as the mind can see, there are only the remaining daily auras of Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, and there is no trace of them at this moment. When Di Tian tried to contact the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in a special way, the mental fluctuations transmitted were like a stone in the sea, and there was no response.
"Lost contact?" Di Tian Furui Mubo's face showed a truly dignified look for the first time.
Although their strength is not top-notch in the core area, Hundred-Thousand-Year's cultivation, and the tacit understanding between brothers, are enough to deal with most troubles. They are responsible for guarding the peripheral portals, and rarely lose contact at the same time. At this moment, Emerald Swan was killed and Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was suspected of causing chaos. They both disappeared...
"Could it be..." A thought came to Di Tian's mind, causing his golden pupils to shrink suddenly, "The strength of that evil beast has grown to such an extent? Can it kill two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts quietly? Or... it is not acting alone, but has other accomplices?"
No matter what the possibility is, it means that the situation is far more serious than expected! A dark evil tiger that can sneak into the core area, attack and kill Emerald Swan, and may solve or trap the two Hundred-Thousand-Year gatekeepers Soul Beast, its threat level has risen sharply!
Bi Ji It may be dangerous if you go alone!
"It seems that I have to go there myself." Di Tian no longer hesitated, stepped out, and the figure disappeared from the lake. There was no violent spatial fluctuation, but at the place where he disappeared, a subtle black crack was left in the air that Jiujiu could not bridge.
His true body has already rushed towards the southeast where the incident occurred at a speed that exceeds the normal limit. This time, he wants to completely eradicate Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a scourge that may have grown into a serious problem, and find out their whereabouts!
In the entire Lake of Life area, with the departure of Di Tian, the terrifying dragon power that shrouded the world slowly dissipated, but the remaining oppression and chill left all living beings with lingering fears.
At this moment, in the open space at the edge, the "Yuni"-like existence that had just recovered its memory and was being overwhelmed by endless regret and fear was also clearly perceived.
On the ground, several figures exuding a ferocious aura of at least Ten-Thousand-Year have broken through the trees and appeared from all directions. They were either giant apes, ferocious birds, or evil beasts. Each of their eyes was as red as blood. They stared at his group of "Yuni" and the corpse of Emerald Swan next to him, and let out low and murderous roars and neighs from their mouths!
