The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook its dizzy head, shook off the water droplets on its body, and its golden, translucent fur bristled, making it look like a fluffy golden ball. It blinked its three eyes, looking around in astonishment.
Where am I? Wasn't I just chasing the Cyclops in the Star Dou Forest? How did I end up in a completely different place in the blink of an eye?
Its gaze quickly fell on the three lions that were biting its own tail tightly, and it let out a soft growl of dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing the sound, the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff immediately released its grip, and all six heads simultaneously looked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion up and down to make sure it was unharmed before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
" Scarlet King, do you know where this is?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked, tilting its head.
The Scarlet King shook his head. "I don't know either. But the life energy here is very concentrated, comparable to the Lake of Life the Star Dou Core Region, and... there seems to be something at the bottom of the lake, its aura is somewhat familiar."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion sniffed the lake surface, its third vertical pupil on its forehead slightly opening. "Hmm, it's the scent of Life Gold. Oh, and there's a large blind bear, its aura somewhat similar to that of the Xiong Jun. No, there's also the aura of a human!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two "lions," one big and one small, turned their heads at the same time and looked straight at Luo Can, who was watching them with great interest not far away.
"Humans!!!"
The Scarlet King instantly bristled, abruptly shielding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion behind him. Every single red hair on its body stood on end, and its three heads simultaneously growled at Luo Can, appearing ready to pounce and fight to the death at any moment.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion curiously poked half its head out, sizing up Luo Can.
The aura emanating from the other party made it feel exceptionally comfortable, possessing both a strong dragon's might that made it feel incredibly close, and a faint Power of Destiny.
At that moment, Luo Can also accessed the system information for the two beasts.
[ Spirit Beast: Three-Eyed Golden Lion ( Emperor Auspicious Beast )]
[Duration: 15,000 years]
[Introduction: Born from the destiny of the Star Dou Forest, this Emperor Auspicious Beast possesses the dual Ultimate Attribute of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Light. Although it has only 15,000 years of cultivation, its combat ability rivals that of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It contains a rare Golden Dragon Bloodline, granting it strength, defense, and destructive power far exceeding its peers. Its third eye on its forehead is the manifestation of the Star Dou Forest's Power of Destiny, the core of the entire forest's fortune. Within its habitat, the cultivation speed of all Spirit Beast doubles, and the success rate of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast breaking through bottlenecks doubles, making it an irreplaceable cultivation accelerator for the soul Beast Clan.]
[Note: There is an unfamiliar Divine Sense within this Spirit Beast, currently dormant (can be erased).]
[ Spirit Beast: Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff ]
[Lifespan: 300,000 years]
[Synopsis: The Scarlet King, ranked eighth among the Ten Great Beast Kings of the Star Dou Forest, is born with the power to control Hellfire, which possesses extremely high temperatures, approaching the Ultimate Fire. It contains the True Dragon Bloodline and is a top-tier Spirit Beast on the continent, with strength comparable to an ordinary Super Douluo.]
After reading the news, Luo Can raised an eyebrow. Wow, this is a huge profit! He only wanted to catch a Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but he got a 300,000-year-old Scarlet King as a bonus.
"Let me introduce myself first," Luo Can said with a smile. "My name is Luo Can, and this is the Fate Defying Valley."
"I am the Three-Eyed Golden Lion," the little Auspicious Beast beast replied crisply, unable to resist taking two more steps forward. The aura emanating from Luo Can had a fatal attraction for it, making it particularly eager to get closer.
But it had only taken two steps when the Scarlet King pressed it back down.
" Auspicious Beast, don't go near him! This human is dangerous!" The Scarlet King stared warily at Luo Can, his muscles tense.
"I'm telling you, you don't need to be so hostile towards me, do you?" Luo Can rolled his eyes. "Besides, this is my territory. If I really wanted to make a move, you two would be dead by now."
"Human! I don't know what kind of evil magic you used to bring me and the Auspicious Beast here!" the Scarlet King said viciously. "I warn you, send us back to the Star Dou Forest as soon as possible! Otherwise, you will bear the wrath of all the Ferocious Beast in the entire Star Dou Forest! Di Tian will not let you off the hook either!"
"Oh, sure," Luo Can smiled nonchalantly. "Then call Di Tian over. But let me remind you, this is Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago."
"???"
"!!!"
The Scarlet King's three heads froze simultaneously, his six eyes wide open, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! Time travel, even a god couldn't do that!" After a long while, the Scarlet King finally reacted and loudly retorted.
Luo Can didn't waste any words with it, and clapped his hands. " Xiong Da, Little Scorpion, come out and show yourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "splash" rang out, and the calm lake surface suddenly exploded. A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, over ten meters tall, suddenly stood up from the water. At the same time, a green figure leaped out from the ice cave in the distance, its tail hook raised high, gleaming with a cold light.
The moment he saw Xiong Da, Scarlet King's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively hugged the Three-Eyed Golden Lion even tighter.
"You... you've submitted to humanity?!"
Its voice was filled with unbelievable heartache:
"As a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a descendant of the Xiong Jun, how dare you submit to humans! It is utterly shameful!"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Da pouted in dissatisfaction and said in a muffled voice:
" Scarlet King? So it's you. No wonder your mouth is so foul."
It grinned, revealing its gleaming white teeth. "I advise you to behave yourself. Otherwise... I'd like to try what 'braised lion's head meatballs' taste like."
"Ridiculous!" The Scarlet King's three heads simultaneously revealed a mocking expression. "You? You think you can defeat me?"
"Hehe," Xiong Da chuckled, pointing his paw at Luo Can, "I can't beat him. But with Boss here, plus Little Scorpion... turning you into braised lion's head meatballs will be a piece of cake!"
Just as Xiong Da and Scarlet King were arguing fiercely, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seized the opportunity to break free from Scarlet King's grasp and dashed to Luo Can's side.
It circled Luo Can twice, its nose constantly sniffing his scent, and its third eye on its forehead curiously darting back and forth.
"Are you really human?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked, tilting its little head. "The concentration of the Dragon Clan blood in your body is much higher than that of the Scarlet King, and not much less than that of Uncle Di Tian."
"Of course they're humans," Luo Can nodded with a smile.
Looking at the fluffy, soft little auspicious Auspicious Beast in front of him, he couldn't resist the urge to reach out and gently rub its head.
This feels amazing! The golden fur is as soft and smooth as silk, warm and cozy, like touching a large poodle.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt extremely comfortable being petted, so it squinted its eyes, made purring noises, and its tail wagged involuntarily.
"Is this really ten thousand years ago?" it asked again.
"Of course it's true."
"Then how did you bring me here from ten thousand years in the future?"
"This is a bit complicated to explain," Luo Can said succinctly. "You can think of me as the successor of a certain god, possessing the ability to summon people and creatures from different eras of the Douluo Continent to my time."
"Wow! That's amazing!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up instantly, and it jumped up excitedly. "So, does that mean I can see myself when I was little? And Uncle Di Tian, Aunt Bi Ji, and Xiong Jun too?"
"Okay, that's fine." Luo Can nodded. "But you can't go out yet. You have to stay in the valley and cultivate properly. I'll take you out when you're strong enough."
"Hehe, okay! No problem!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion rolled its eyes and immediately nodded in agreement.
As for whether it can truly stay put, just ask the Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Forest that it has harmed.
Luo Can was well aware of how playful this little Auspicious Beast was. In the original story, it was because it secretly ran away to chase prey that it "accidentally" encountered Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny.
"Looks like I'll have to assign Xiong Da to keep a close eye on it from now on, I can't let it run around," Luo Can thought to himself.
Then, his gaze turned to the Scarlet King, who was still glaring at Xiong Da.
Although this guy was a freebie in the "buy one get one free" deal, with 300,000 years of cultivation, his strength is still quite good. It's just that his temper is too bad; he needs to be properly disciplined.
With that thought in mind, Luo Can unleashed all his power towards the Scarlet King.
The pressure of a level 98 Super Douluo, combined with the supreme dragon might of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, swept towards the Scarlet King like Mount Tai pressing down!
