Chapter 33: Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Hi, hi, hi, I'm here!
Star Dou Great Forest.
“Mo Yan, you’re making it difficult for an old bear like me!”
When Wang Jin heard that Mo Yan wanted to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring for her third Soul Ring, he immediately refused the request. The Holy Lord had emphasized that Mo Yan should not be allowed to be so lazy every time she absorbed a Soul Ring.
Mo Yan sighed inwardly when Wang Jin refused her suggestion. That guy was really something.
Was it really that big of a deal for a third Soul Ring?
“Then you decide!” Mo Yan finally thought about it and let the old bear help her decide. She didn't care how many thousands of years the third Soul Ring was, as long as it could release a Soul Skill.
Wang Jin was very helpless seeing Mo Yan’s lazy demeanor. Mo Yan could be said to be the most difficult to serve among the three Lords.
He missed his old life a little.
Just monitoring the lives of those two Children of Destiny, without needing to use any brainpower.
This kind of task was suitable for a brainless Dragon Slave like him.
Old Huo: ???
Wang Jin: “Mo Yan and Dugu Luo, please wait here. I’ll be back soon.” After speaking, Wang Jin’s eight Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet and he quickly sprinted into the Star Dou Forest. He needed to quickly find suitable Soul Rings for the two of them and then immediately take them away.
The Holy Lord had instructed them to leave immediately after absorbing the Soul Rings. Although he didn’t know why, Wang Jin was all about ‘obedience’.
As for why Wang Jin had already stepped into the Soul Douluo realm, it was naturally because Tian Mucheng had strengthened all the Dragon Slaves after emptying the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Luo looked in the direction Wang Jin left, curiously asking Mo Yan: “Sister Mo Yan, why aren’t we following him?”
“Come here.”
Although Dugu Luo was puzzled, she obediently moved closer.
Mo Yan gently raised her delicate hands, and among her slender fingers, which were like white jade, two were particularly striking. They slowly stretched out and gently landed on Dugu Luo’s forehead, which was as fair and smooth as a peeled egg.
The moment they touched, it was as if an invisible energy was activated, transmitting from her fingertips and silently entering the depths of Dugu Luo’s mind. This mysterious and wonderful power, like a trickling stream, slowly began to flow and gradually converged into a hazy halo, gently enveloping Dugu Luo’s eyes.
After doing this, Mo Yan pointed to the forest ahead: “Look at the forest ahead.”
Dugu Luo followed her gaze towards the dense forest ahead, only to see a huge golden phantom vaguely appearing within it, like a fierce beast traversing the woods.
Due to the distance and the obstruction of the tree branches and leaves, she couldn't clearly see the exact appearance of this beast, but just from its blurry outline and the powerful aura it emitted, she could guess that this was definitely not an ordinary beast.
The golden light emanating from its body seemed to contain endless power and mystery, inspiring awe.
The aura of that beast was very similar to the aura of the Holy Lord.
“What is that?”
Dugu Luo stared at Mo Yan with some confusion. Although she knew that the Holy Lord and the others were collecting destiny, she had no memory of those things.
Mo Yan saw that Dugu Luo had already seen it and explained: “Three-Eyed Golden Lion, born to be the vessel of the Star Dou Great Forest’s power of destiny.”
“Our luck is a bit bad today. That guy came to the intersection of the outer and inner areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, which is why I didn’t really want to go in.” Mo Yan also explained why she only wanted to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring and leave. Now was not the time to meet this beast of destiny.
Dugu Luo understood after hearing Mo Yan’s words, then asked worriedly: “What about Uncle Wang Jin?”
“I don’t know.”
Dugu Luo:
Mo Yan stood with her arms crossed, waiting, her mind pondering why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would suddenly come out from the center of the Star Dou Great Forest. Was it really just hunting?
“No!” Mo Yan remembered something and thought: “That guy has a trace of Golden Dragon King bloodline in him, and my own bloodline disdains all dragon bloodlines except the Holy Lord’s, or more accurately, my bloodline attracts hatred!”
“Luo, let’s go!”
Mo Yan immediately reacted, warned Dugu Luo, and immediately ran towards the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Luo was very confused by Mo Yan’s words but still immediately followed.
“Sister Mo Yan, what exactly happened?” Dugu Luo kept pace with Mo Yan, asking with both confusion and curiosity.
“I forgot that my bloodline attracts hatred, especially the hatred of dragon bloodlines.” Mo Yan explained while running, “Next, we just need to run as hard as we can. That guy probably hasn’t pinpointed our exact direction yet.”
“What about Uncle Wang Jin?”
“I’ve already notified him to hunt quickly and then meet up at the outer edge of the forest.”
— —
The spot where the two had just stopped.
A Soul Beast appeared. It was over three meters long, eight feet tall at the shoulder, and covered in a layer of brilliant golden fur. The golden fur, its entire body seemed like translucent crystal, full of a strange texture.
Its overall form resembled a lion, but its four claws were like a dragon’s, and each dragon claw stepped on a ball of golden flame. Its mouth was also a bit longer than that of a lion-type Soul Beast, and beneath its fur, there seemed to be fine golden scales.
In addition to its normal pair of eyes, it also had a third eye in the form of a vertical pupil. Its two normal eyes shimmered with gold, while this vertical pupil emitted a red, somewhat eerie red.
“Strange?”
The golden Soul Beast made a girl’s voice, sniffing the scent here, and found only the scent of the aura it had just sensed, with no other auras or traces. She fell silent.
Was her nose not working, or had she sensed incorrectly?
“What’s wrong, Young Master?” A mature male voice entered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s ears.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought for a moment and shook her head: “Nothing, Uncle Chi Wang, I just felt like going for a run on a whim.”
As for her previous sensation, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chose to conceal it. Her perception of destiny on her body was very peculiar.
She didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for Uncle Ditian and the others because of her mistaken perception.
Seeing this, Chi Wang didn't ask further. He knew what the Auspicious Beast was hiding, but if she didn't say it, he didn't need to make trouble for himself.
“Hoo hoo hoo ~”
In another direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, Mo Yan leaned against a large tree, panting heavily. She really hadn’t exercised in too long.
She felt her heart beating so fast right now.
Beside her, Dugu Luo was much better than her. Due to constantly hiding with her mother, she was naturally much better than this lazy ghost.
Mo Yan glanced behind her again, and seeing that the golden mass hadn’t followed, she breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately began to mentally connect with her Engulfing Sky Dragon to solve the problem. She didn’t want to continue being a human-shaped hatred magnet when she came to the Star Dou Great Forest in the future.
“Moshi moshi ~ Engulfing Sky Dragon, say something!”
“What’s wrong?”
Tian Mucheng, who was in the Extreme North Land looking for Xiao Xue’s ninth Soul Ring, suddenly received Mo Yan’s mental connection and asked curiously.
“Engulfing Sky Dragon, do you know? I almost ran into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!”
“???”
