Collision with the Star Dou Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion-Could This Be Eaten?

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Just like the previous upgrade.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's length, width, and height all underwent another explosive increase.

Its overall length had already exceeded twenty meters.

With this size, it could already swagger through the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.

But accompanying that was the same extreme hunger.

"Damn it, just how much do I have to eat in a day?"

In truth, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was calculating things in his heart at this moment.

By now, he had consecutively devoured two soul beasts above the Ten Thousand Year level.

He had already made a comparison in his mind.

Compared to Soul Rings, that flesh and blood really was worthless.

And the higher-ranked the soul beast, the more filling the Soul Ring it emitted was.

"Should I head toward the middle regions of the forest and take a look now?"

"I remember that in the original novel, there should be an even higher-ranked fifty-thousand-year Blood-red Baboon in this forest!"

Perhaps because his strength was formidable.

Or perhaps because a human soul and a fierce beast's body had merged perfectly.

At this moment, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's mind began to race at high speed.

An excellent hunter did not merely possess terrifying killing power.

His intelligence had to keep up as well.

With his current strength, he would not need to fear even an eighty-thousand-year or hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

But if it was between one hundred fifty thousand and two hundred thousand years, he had to be more careful!

There was one more point that required exceptional attention.

He absolutely could not casually approach the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King were there.

Those two were opponents he could not challenge no matter what right now.

"Decided. I'll roam around outside the core zone!"

"I'll grind monsters while exploring the map!"

Very soon, relying on his incredibly sharp sense of smell.

Following the hormones released by those terrified, piss-soaked baboons.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff truly found the gathering place of the Blood-red Baboons in the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.

They covered the mountains and plains.

There were at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.

There were five alone that were roughly on the same level as the thirty-thousand-year one from earlier.

Among them, one baboon that looked somewhat aged gave off the densest aura of blood and vitality.

"You're the one. The fifty-thousand-year Blood-red Baboon patriarch!"

Because he had hidden himself well and was downwind.

This group of Blood-red Baboons had not noticed that danger had arrived at all.

Moreover, the little baboons that had escaped back were waving their limbs around as they complained to their ancestor.

Meanwhile, that fifty-thousand-year one squatted atop an old tree like a human elder.

Its right paw propped up its chin.

Its pair of murky eyes flickered incessantly.

They seemed to contain the light of wisdom.

But that was utterly useless!

Before absolute strength.

Everything else had to step aside!

"Rustle, rustle, rustle!"

Though it was his first time sneaking around.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff performed remarkably calmly.

He even did his best to control his heartbeat.

Like a shadow within the grass.

He slowly crept closer to that old monkey!

"Chitter, chitter, chitter!"

"Eek, eek, eek!"

But the good times did not last.

Very quickly, several baboons standing watch in the canopy discovered the enormous creature lurking in the bushes.

They immediately sounded a warning to their companions!

"Damn, they spotted me anyway?"

"Is it because I'm too fat now?"

After thinking it over, that seemed to be the only answer.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was no longer the little fellow he had been when he first appeared.

Although the shrubs here were taller than a person.

For a gigantic creature like him, hiding completely was still far too difficult!

"Since you've discovered me, I'll show my hand!"

"Old baboon, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

This was different from the previous time.

Since the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had already established his fearsome reputation.

When the baboons of all sizes around them saw this fiend charging over.

Not only did they not put up any resistance.

They scattered in panic in every direction.

Only that snarling old monkey glowed with a burst of red light.

"Berserk?"

"But what use is it for a monkey to go berserk?"

With a hint of mockery.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff pounced forward.

"Yah, yah, yah!"

At nearly the same moment.

The old monkey's berserk state finally took effect.

Red Soul Power filled the old baboon's body.

Making him swell several times larger, like an orc shaman from World of Warcraft.

But this was merely bloated mass; his essence had not increased at all.

It only looked intimidating!

"All flash and no substance. Fall for me!"

"Smack!"

It was a standard claw strike!

Because it was so fast, several golden streaks seemed to appear in the sky.

Carrying terrifying cutting power.

They slashed toward the old baboon's arms!

"Thud!"

There was no suspense in this battle.

Although the old baboon raised both arms before his chest and defended with all his strength.

He still could not withstand the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's terrifying power.

Because this fierce beast's claws carried the gold attribute of the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

Such a defense was instead even more disadvantageous for the old baboon.

When the two collided.

There was no resistance whatsoever.

The old fellow's two arms were like tofu, directly severed by the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff...

"Roar, roar, roar!"

It was a bloodcurdling scream.

The old monkey seemed unable to remember when he had last been beaten this badly.

Ten thousand years ago?

Or twenty thousand years ago?

"Old bastard, hand over your fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring obediently, and I'll let you die quickly!"

Seeing the old baboon, who had now completely lost the ability to resist.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff smugly approached him step by step.

His gaze was like that of a tabby cat cornering a mouse.

Admiring the other's despair.

While savoring the wonderful scent of blood in the air.

"Wuu, wuu, wuu!"

Perhaps it had foreseen its own death.

At the most critical moment, this fifty-thousand-year Blood-red Baboon actually closed its eyes.

Had it accepted its fate?

"Don't worry, it won't hurt!"

"I'll give you one light hit, and you'll be free!"

Speaking human words while letting out a beastly growl.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff drew closer and closer.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

But just as he was about to finish off the old monkey.

Another flash of golden light streaked before his eyes.

A small golden soul beast that looked like a little ball of fluff unexpectedly stood before the old monkey.

It roared furiously at the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff in a fierce yet childish tone!

"Where did you come from, little cutie?"

"Are you here to add another dish to my meal?"

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff laughed when he saw the little beast before him.

But in the next instant, his steps halted.

"Wait, three eyes, and a little golden fluffball?"

"Could it be Wang Qiu'er?"

Looking at this strange and spirited little creature.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff suddenly recalled a magical soul beast from the original novel.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

The child of fortune within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Because she did not understand love, she came into Huo Yuhao's world.

In the end, through a twist of fate, she sacrificed herself to him?

Could she be the one before me...
