The Sky Azure Bull Python led Danheng deep into the forest. After a while, it slowly came to a stop.
"Sir, it would be inconvenient for me to go any farther. Please proceed on your own from here. If they give you trouble, that Five-Colored Diamond should be enough to ensure your safe retreat."
After saying that, the Sky Azure Bull Python raced back the way it had come without looking back, as though it had encountered something terrifying.
"...Are the soul beasts in there really that scary?"
Danheng felt the Sky Azure Bull Python's reaction was a little excessive.
Couldn't they just talk things out?
Even if the other side was unwilling to talk properly, Danheng had more than enough force to teach them what manners meant in an instant.
Danheng summoned Cloud Piercer and slowly stepped into the depths of the forest, a forbidden place even to the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.
Deep in the forest, several ferocious beasts had gathered together, watching Danheng enter their territory with their own eyes.
"That human really dared to come in. Does he think having Mountain Dragon's token means we won't do anything to him?"
A massive bear with bulging muscles rubbed its fists together, anger evident in its voice.
"And that little snake actually dared to bring him here. It's really asking for a beating!"
The giant bear was covered in dark-gold fur, each strand distinct and gleaming.
At the ends of its thick arms were incomparably sharp dark-gold claws, like the scythes of death, glinting with icy light.
"Hehe, Bear Lord, why get so angry? If you really can't stand him, why not go test his strength yourself?"
Behind the soul beasts, a strange-looking tree suddenly opened its mouth, its voice somewhat hoarse and deep.
