Dai Huabin walked at the front, his mind racing with plans for what to do next.

Zhu Lu's fourth Soul Ring must be from a ten-thousand-year-old ice-attribute Soul Beast, and the higher the quality, the better, to match the evolved Ice Shadow Spirit Cat Martial Soul.

There are many ten-thousand-year-old ice-attribute Soul Beast near the Core Area of Star Dou Great Forest, but their quality varies greatly.

If he's lucky, he might be able to get the Scarlet King to help him, although that hot-tempered red-haired giant doesn't have a very good impression of him.

Of course, there's also the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Auspicious Beast that was bribed with roast meat should still be waiting for him.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Dai Huabin and his three companions arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest at a leisurely pace.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the Core Area of Star Dou Great Forest.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay on a large rock warmed by the sun, idly swishing its tail.

She has been waiting for almost a month.

That human who knows how to grill meat promised to come see her again, but he never showed up.

The third vertical pupil of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned slightly, its red pupil reflecting the layered tree canopy in the distance.

Every day, she would spend some time looking outwards, using the unique senses of Auspicious Beast to detect the presence of that human.

But each time it yielded no results.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion rested its chin on its front paws and let out a muffled growl.

She still remembers the taste of the barbecue.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with oil, and sprinkled with a spice she had never smelled before.

That was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in all her life.

The Core Area has all kinds of prey, and she can eat as much raw meat as she wants. But ever since she tasted roasted meat, raw meat has become tasteless.

Of course, the brain is an exception!

After all, eating brains can make you stronger!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion scratched at the boulder with its claws in frustration, leaving several deep scratch marks on the stone surface.

Just then, an extremely faint yet incredibly familiar aura drifted over from the surrounding area.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body tensed instantly.

She suddenly raised her head, her golden eyes and red vertical pupils simultaneously locking onto a single direction.

It was him.

Although the human aura was somewhat different from the last time, much stronger, and even carried a faint sense of familiarity, she was absolutely certain she wouldn't mistake it.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion leaped from the boulder, golden flames burning simultaneously beneath its four claws, and charged directly towards the outer perimeter.

Deep within the Core Area, the Scarlet King was dozing off under a thousand-year-old tree.

His human form is a red-haired, middle-aged, burly man with a fierce face; even when he sleeps, his brows are furrowed.

A series of hurried footsteps startled him awake.

The Scarlet King opened his eyes and saw a golden figure flash past him, moving so fast that it left only a blur.

"The Auspicious Beast ran away?"

The Scarlet King paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something.

"Oh no! That human kid is here again!"

The Scarlet King stood up abruptly, and with a swing of his thick arm, he shook the ancient tree beside him, causing its leaves to fall in a flurry.

His impression of Dai Huabin was quite complicated.

On one hand, that kid is human, and the Scarlet King has always disliked humans.

On the other hand, Ice Empress actually signed Blood Pact with that kid, which shocked and frustrated the Scarlet King.

Ice Empress is one of the Three Great Kings of the Far North, so why are they lumped together with humans?

What frustrated the Scarlet King even more was that when that kid came to the Core Area last time, he actually lured the Auspicious Beast away with roasted meat.

The Scarlet King was so angry he gritted his teeth at the thought of it.

Just as he was about to chase after him, a voice came from behind him.

"Scarlet King, wait for me!"

The Scarlet King turned around and saw Bi Ji emerge from a burst of green light.

Bi Ji is the true ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, Emerald Swan, whose cultivation is unfathomable.

Bi Ji's human form is an elegant beauty with long, dark green hair styled in a bun, wearing a flowing emerald green dress, and exuding maternal tenderness in every gesture.

"Bi Ji?" The Scarlet King was somewhat surprised. "What brings you here?"

Bi Ji smiled slightly, "That human boy that the auspicious Auspicious Beast can't forget has arrived, hasn't he? I'd like to go see him too."

The Scarlet King opened his mouth, "Didn't you say you'd deal with this after the Beast God emerged from seclusion?"

"We'll deal with it, we'll observe it," Bi Ji said calmly. "I'm very curious about what kind of person this human is who could make the Ice Empress willingly sign a Blood Pact."

The Scarlet King snorted, "Just a sweet-talking, skillful human. Besides grilling meat, he's got no other skills."

Bi Ji smiled noncommittally. "Let's go, follow the Auspicious Beast. Don't let her run too far."

The Scarlet King responded, and with a flicker, he transformed into a streak of crimson light and gave chase.

Bi Ji followed closely behind, her emerald light flashing and disappearing in the forest.

On the outskirts of the forest, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had been walking for about half an hour.

Zhu Lu led the way, her perception greatly enhanced after consuming the Immortal Herb and Martial Soul Evolution.

The Ice Shadow Spirit Cat's instincts made her extremely sensitive to changes in her surroundings; she could roughly determine the level of Soul Beast hiding in a bush from thirty meters away.

"Huabin, there's a thousand-year-old ice-attribute Soul Beast about two hundred meters to the left front," Zhu Lu reported softly.

Dai Huabin shook his head. "A thousand years isn't enough. Your current foundation needs to be at least ten thousand years. Keep going."

Zhu Lu, and without pausing, continued deeper into the Core Area.

After walking for another fifteen minutes, Dai Huabin suddenly stopped.

He sensed something.

It wasn't the aura of Soul Beast; it was a very peculiar sensation.

From Blood Pact.

Ice Empress transmitted her voice through Blood Pact from the Undead Semi-Plane:

"Huabin! Something is approaching you! It's moving very fast! It's not an ordinary Soul Beast!"

Dai Huabin frowned.

He instinctively pulled Zhu Lu behind him, and his Soul Power began to circulate within his body.

Zhu Lu also sensed it. Her Ice Shadow Spirit Cat Martial Soul automatically activated, black cat ears appeared in her hair, and her whole body tensed up, entering battle mode.

"What is it?" Zhu Lu asked in a low voice.

Dai Huabin did not answer, because he had already seen it.

Suddenly, the treetops ahead shook violently, and a golden figure burst out of the dense forest.

The speed is ridiculously fast.

Its golden fur reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, with a translucent crystal-like texture. Its dragon claws trod on golden flames, and its third vertical pupil on its forehead glowed red.

It is Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Dai Huabin was taken aback.

Before he could react, the 15,000-year-old Emperor Auspicious Beast had already rushed in front of him.

Then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion charged straight at Dai Huabin with its massive head, the force of which sent him staggering back two steps.

Zhu Lu was startled and was about to make a move when she realized that the Auspicious Beast had no intention of attacking.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion rubbed its head against Dai Huabin's chest, making low gurgling sounds in its throat, and its tail swished like a fan.

"Huabin! Why are you so late?!"

The clear, melodious female voice of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly rang out.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Lu froze on the spot.

"Ah?"
