The Beast God's invitation
From the depths of the distant forest, a deep, rumbling sound grew ever closer.
At first, the sound seemed like some kind of huge Soul Beast running, but as the distance closed, everyone quickly realized that it was not the sound of an ordinary Soul Beast moving at all.
With each step, the ground vibrates.
Large swathes of trees were forcibly smashed open, thick branches snapped in the middle, and splinters of wood swept in with the fierce wind.
The smile on Yue Guan's face had long since vanished.
He gripped the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum tightly, his gaze fixed intently ahead. The Gui Mei stood beside him, its figure already blending into the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.
The four Soul Saint behind them immediately released their Martial Soul, their Soul Ring rising, and adjusted everyone's status to battle mode.
Although they couldn't see who it was, the sheer aura it exuded was enough to show that it was no ordinary Soul Beast.
The next moment.
A massive figure burst forth from the forest.
It was a three-headed giant dog, entirely crimson red.
Three enormous heads were raised, their crimson fur like burning flames. Their massive bodies were tens of meters tall, and the surrounding trees trembled slightly when their limbs touched the ground.
The temperature in the air rose instantly.
A scorching heat emanated from the nostrils of its three heads, creating a visible heat wave.
Three pairs of crimson-gold eyes swept over the crowd.
At that moment, everyone felt as if their bodies were being locked onto by some terrifying entity.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei's expressions turned completely serious.
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast..."
Yue Guan spoke in a low voice.
The fact that this Soul Beast could exert such pressure on a level 95 Titled Douluo speaks volumes about its strength.
More importantly...
When did such a terrifying Soul Beast appear in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest?
However, just when everyone was on high alert...
Lin Yuan, however, showed no sign of nervousness.
He simply stood there, looking at the enormous three-headed Soul Beast before him, a familiar smile even playing on his lips.
Then he raised his hand.
The black dragon scales shimmered gently in the sunlight.
"Scarlet King."
"Did Di Tian send you?"
Upon hearing this,
The expressions of Yue Guan and the others froze instantly.
They had initially thought the terrifying Soul Beast had been attracted by the scales in Lin Yuan's hand, but now, judging from Lin Yuan's tone, it seemed that the two had known each other for a long time.
and...
He just called out the other person's name.
Scarlet King.
That was one of the true overlords of the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff.
The Scarlet King lowered one of its heads, its enormous eyes looking at Lin Yuan.
A moment later, the three heads simultaneously emitted deep voices.
"Kid."
"Di Tian sent me to pick you up."
Let's go.
Its sound, like muffled thunder, echoed through the forest.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They knew that Lin Yuan seemed to have connections with certain beings in the Star Dou Great Forest, but they did not expect that these connections would reach the point where even the powerful Soul Beast under the Beast God's command would personally greet him.
Lin Yuan wasn't surprised at all.
He put away the dragon scales and glanced at the Scarlet King.
"Good."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the crowd behind him.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was the first to speak.
"Your His Highness the Holy Son"
His tone carried a clear sense of worry.
Although he knew Lin Yuan was very strong, that was the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
Not to mention, the aura that the Scarlet King just displayed far exceeded the range that an ordinary Titled Douluo could handle.
Lin Yuan naturally understood what he meant.
He waved his hand.
"Rest assured."
"You don't need to follow."
He glanced at the surrounding forest and continued, "The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast; it's uncertain how long it will take to find that Borisin team. Since this is the territory of Soul Beast, we naturally need to find the person who knows this place best to help us."
"You can set up camp here and observe the surrounding area."
"I'm going to discuss our next steps with the Beast God."
Yue Guan his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Seeing Lin Yuan's calm expression, they ultimately did not continue to dissuade him.
He knew it very well.
If Lin Yuan has truly made up his mind, it is difficult for others to change his mind.
not to mention.
The Scarlet King before them was clearly not here to be hostile.
The Gui Mei figure said in a deep voice, "Your His Highness the Holy Son, be careful."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Rest assured."
After saying that, he walked up to the Scarlet King.
The Scarlet King lowered his head, one of his three heads close to the ground.
"Kid, get on here."
Lin Yuan did not hesitate.
He channeled his Soul Power, leaped into the air, and landed steadily on the Scarlet King's back.
He turned to look at the crowd.
Qian Renxue stood at the very front of the crowd.
Although she didn't say anything, the worry in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Lin Yuan smiled and waved at her.
Qian Renxue looked at him and finally couldn't help but shout:
"Be safe!"
The sound traveled through the forest.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled and nodded.
"Knew."
The next moment.
The Scarlet King exerted force with all four limbs simultaneously.
Boom!
The ground exploded instantly.
Its enormous body transformed into a crimson afterimage, rushing towards the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The wind kept rushing past my ears.
The surrounding scenery rushed past.
Ordinary Soul Beast dared not approach the Scarlet King after sensing his aura and all gave way.
Lin Yuan sat on the back of the Scarlet King, feeling the increasingly rich life force around him.
It has to be admitted.
The core area of Star Dou Great Forest is indeed completely different from the outer area.
The life force here is so intense it's almost tangible.
No wonder Borisin's second team chose this place as their research target.
If they are looking for samples of unusual life forms, there is no better place than here.
About half an hour later.
The Scarlet King's speed gradually decreased.
The trees ahead began to thin out.
A vast lake appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.
The lake water was crystal clear, and a large number of plants that Lin Yuan had never seen before grew around it. The life force in the air was so strong that it seemed to be directly absorbed by the human body.
Lake of Life.
The true core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Scarlet King stopped by the lake.
Lin Yuan jumped off its back.
As soon as he landed, he sensed a powerful aura emanating from the lakeside.
There.
There was a person standing there.
Long black coat.
Tall and slender.
He stood quietly by the Lake of Life, his back to Lin Yuan, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
The Scarlet King lowered his head and did not continue forward.
Lin Yuan watched the retreating figure and slowly walked over.
Several years have passed.
The child who once needed Qian Daoliu's protection has now grown into someone capable of facing the threats of the Star Sea alone.
And the Beast God, who once existed only in legends, stood before him once more.
The man in black seemed to sense his approach.
The next moment.
He slowly turned around.
Golden eyes fell on Lin Yuan.
Di Tian looked at the young man before him and remained silent for a moment.
Then, a cryptic smile appeared on his lips.
"We meet again."
"I never imagined that you would have grown to this extent in just a few years."
Lin Yuan looked at him without any formalities.
"Di Tian."
"I specifically sent your scales to find you this time, so there's naturally something I need to discuss."
Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on him.
"Speak."
"They specifically targeted the location of my scales, so they probably aren't just here to reminisce."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He looked up and gazed around the Lake of Life.
"I need to find a group of guys who have entered the Star Dou Great Forest."
They are not life forms of this world.
"Moreover, they are associated with Abundance."
Di Tian's originally calm expression changed for the first time upon hearing the word "Abundance".
Lake of Life.
The breeze stopped.
Seeing his reaction, Lin Yuan knew he had found the right person.
Di Tian slowly narrowed his eyes.
"It seems..."
"The trouble you've brought me this time is bigger than I imagined."
