Four Soul Beasts

The atmosphere eased after Huo Yuhao spoke.

Di Tian lowered his head. "Please rest assured, my lord. The Sovereign bears you no ill will. She sought you out only because she didn't want you left to wander abroad."

Even now, Di Tian still believed that Huo Yuhao was a true-blooded member of the Dragon Clan.

A human body?

Didn't he have one too?

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment before raising his head and looking at his senior brother, Qian Xunji, who still hadn't relaxed.

"Senior Brother, I truly can't sense any hostility from him. How about I go meet his Sovereign?"

Huo Yuhao was indeed tempted to meet Gu Yuena right now.

For one thing, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena had a huge piece of Gold of Life.

There shouldn't be any problem getting a small piece from her, and it would be far sooner than his original plan of scheming for that carving knife in the Dou-II world.

Besides, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, lived by the Lake of Life.

Perhaps he could use this opportunity to win the Three-Eyed Golden Lion over.

However he looked at it, this trip could only bring benefits!

"Say yes, say yes!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged Huo Yuhao constantly from within his Sea of Spirit.

"Your brother from ten thousand years ago is right there at the Lake of Life! I guarantee I can get my younger self to sacrifice himself to you. He's only nine hundred and ninety thousand years old, but with my origin power boosting him, I guarantee your second Soul Ring will still be at the million-year level!"

Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wasn't trapped right now, he was like someone with a split personality, often seeing the Ferocious Beasts' vicious faces!

Forget persuading him—even if there was a chance to escape, his counterpart from ten thousand years ago wouldn't need any convincing. He'd sacrifice himself on the spot!

Electrolux, who was in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, saw how anxious the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was and felt like teasing him.

"Ahem, Yuhao, cultivation in the Douluo World follows a special system. You can't choose your Soul Rings carelessly."

"Although the big bug can provide you with powerful origin energy, the Soul Skills it provides might not suit you."

Electrolux had to hold back his laughter as he said that last sentence.

Unfortunately, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who was busy thinking of ways to save himself, immediately panicked.

"Nonsense! The Soul Skills I can provide are extremely useful!"

"For example... uh..."

The silkworm's heart was bitter, but the silkworm wanted to speak.

"Brother Sky Dream, don't panic. Just your million-year origin energy would already be very useful to me!"

"Right!" At the mention of something useful, Tian Meng really did think of something. "Didn't you say that in the world ten thousand years from now, there are always people with ill intentions spying on you? I have an ability that can guarantee you'll evade him!"

"My two elders and I will wait here for you."

Outside the core area, Qian Xunji and the two Spirit Hall elders stopped there.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out the grilled fish and meat he had made earlier from his Space Soul Tool and handed them to Qian Xunji.

The moment he took them out, their mouthwatering aroma wafted through the air. Even Di Tian couldn't help glancing over.

He had actually saved some of the grilled fish and meat for himself, planning to use them at the Lake of Life to tempt the Three-Eyed Golden Lion when he got the chance.

The Lake of Life lay deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, where it was gloomier than the outer regions.

The branches of towering ancient trees interlaced overhead, forming an impenetrable canopy. Only scattered rays of sunlight made it through the gaps.

Di Tian carefully led the way, bringing them to a lake.

The crescent-shaped lake was nestled in the middle of a valley. Its water was a clear, crystalline green, as if an entire piece of jade had been polished into shape.

Four Soul Beasts were talking beside the lake.

One was enormous, with a bull's head and a serpent's body. Its bull's head was at least four meters across, and its eyes were like two lanterns.

Another was as huge as a mountain, and looked like a giant ape.

Their features were so distinctive that Huo Yuhao recognized them as soon as he saw them.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, who had appeared early in the Douluo World and seemed incredibly impressive, but were really on the level of gatekeeper uncles.

But Huo Yuhao didn't have a good impression of these two Soul Beasts.

In the original story, these two had been Buddha Tang's agents in the lower realm, and they'd relentlessly screwed over Huo Yuhao, the Child of Luck!

They kept claiming to dote on Dong'er, but when Tang San laid hands on her, they'd been like the dead, doing nothing at all.

Besides the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, one of the remaining two Soul Beasts was a Soft Bone Rabbit. But compared to the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, it was much smaller.

The other was a woman who looked gentle and graceful.

The Soft Bone Rabbit hadn't taken human form yet, so this must be the mother-in-law Huo Yuhao had in the original story.

She had a wilful, domineering personality, yet had become Tang San's beloved.

She seemed to grow stronger later on, but unfortunately, she wasn't very bright and was completely taken in by Tang San.

As for the only human woman there, she was Xiao Wu's mother, who would become one of Bibi Dong's Soul Rings.

After taking human form, how come Xiao Wu hadn't picked up her mother's personality too?

When the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape saw Di Tian, they shuddered and respectfully lowered their heads.

"Lord Di Tian."

Di Tian glanced at the two rabbits before addressing the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. "There are three humans outside. Keep an eye on their safety, and don't let any Soul Beasts attack them."

Many Soul Beasts living near the core area were highly intelligent.

Some even bore a deep hatred for humans.

One or two of them might not be a match for a Titled Douluo, but with the help of their clans, they could form a beast tide.

Since one of them was my lord's senior brother, we couldn't let them get into trouble in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Yes!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape answered in unison when they heard Di Tian's instructions.

Huo Yuhao didn't say a word. He carefully examined all four Soul Beasts.

Only after hearing their reply did Di Tian lead Huo Yuhao into the Lake of Life and down to the lakebed to meet the Silver Dragon King.

After Huo Yuhao left, the Soft Bone Rabbit, who hadn't dared even breathe loudly, finally collapsed to the ground.

"That scared me to death!" the gigantic rabbit said in a slightly childish voice. "Daming, Erming, who was that just now? Why were you so afraid of him?"

"Shh! You can't just talk about that lord!" The Titan Giant Ape hurriedly raised a finger to silence Xiao Wu.

The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded its bull's head. "It's only because you and Xiao Wu ran into him today, Aunt Rou. Otherwise, we'd have to keep that lord's existence absolutely secret."

"But Lord Di Tian didn't give us any orders, so I suppose he doesn't mind us telling Aunt Rou and Xiao Wu," the Titan Giant Ape guessed, scratching his head.

"Xiao Wu, you must keep Lord Di Tian's existence a secret, no matter what. If Lord Di Tian finds out you leaked it, Erming and I may not be able to protect you."

In front of Di Tian, the two of them had only about a hundred thousand years of cultivation. They were no match for him.
