#660 - The Bizarre Adventures of Bluebird

In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

“Roar—”

A deafening roar suddenly erupted. A massive, imposing lion-like soul beast, radiating a chillingly powerful aura, abruptly swung its paw, carrying immense force, and heavily struck a Purple Spirit Wolf.

Instantly, the Purple Spirit Wolf's fragile head shattered like a broken clay pot, pulverized by this fatal blow. Without hesitation, the lion soul beast lowered its head and began devouring the Purple Spirit Wolf's brain matter.

The Purple Spirit Wolf is a type of soul beast somewhat similar in appearance to a wolf, yet its size is smaller than that of an ordinary wolf. As a mental-type soul beast, it holds a unique position among wolf-type soul beasts.

Legend has it that the Bei is the strategist of the wolf pack, using its extraordinary wisdom to devise plans for the wolf pack's actions, truly the military advisor of the wolf clan. The idiom “acting in cahoots” originates from this special collaborative relationship between the Bei and the wolf.

In nature, wolves are not always found where Bei exist, but once a Bei appears, there will definitely be traces of wolves nearby.

“Woo…”

Surrounding this majestic lion soul beast, a group of Purple Spirit Wolves, each over seven meters long, were prostrate on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly. The leading Wolf King was even more impressive, exceeding ten meters in length.

At this moment, the tails of these Purple Spirit Wolves were constantly wagging upwards, a typical signal of submission from a wolf pack.

The Purple Spirit Wolf, as one of the higher bloodlines among wolf-type soul beasts, has always been known for its fierce nature.

Judging solely from the massive size of this group of Purple Spirit Wolves, one can deduce that their cultivation age has long exceeded ten thousand years, and the leading Wolf King's cultivation has even reached over seventy thousand years.

Such a wolf pack, composed of ten-thousand-year Purple Spirit Wolves, is undoubtedly a formidable force to be reckoned with in the perilous Star Dou Great Forest.

Moreover, with the Wolf King's cultivation being so profound, even hundred-thousand-year soul beasts would not casually provoke this wolf pack under normal circumstances.

This special identity alone was enough to inspire awe in these Purple Spirit Wolves, preventing them from having the slightest intention of disobedience.

“How boring!”

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion swallowed the brain matter in its mouth, but for some reason, the food that was once very palatable to it now tasted like chewing wax, completely tasteless.

The reason for this huge change stemmed from an indelible memory in its mind.

Not long ago, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion encountered an unexpected disaster while hunting. It was accidentally captured by a powerful human, falling into an extremely dangerous situation.

Fortunately, Di Tian took action in time. After some negotiations, he successfully brought it back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After that, Di Tian had Bi Ji conduct a comprehensive examination on it and asked if it had suffered any grievances. To this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion naturally shook its head repeatedly.

After seeing that it was fine, Di Tian told it not to run around randomly in the future and continued to slumber in the Lake of Life.

However, there was a crucial detail that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not mention to Di Tian and the others. That was, when it was captured by the powerful human, it was forced to undergo attribute guidance with a young man.

During that process, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion accidentally glimpsed the memories of that human youth. It was these memories that opened a door to a whole new world for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, making it develop an unprecedentedly strong curiosity about the human world.

The hunting activities that were once full of fun and made it feel excited now seemed so dull and uninteresting in its eyes.

Even the Star Dou Great Forest, which nurtured its growth, began to make it feel somewhat bored.

“I really want to go to the human world and see!”

This thought, like a tenacious seed, quietly took root and sprouted in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mind, and with the passage of time, it showed a growing trend, becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

“But before that, I have to find a chance to get rid of Chi Wang. Di Tian and the others will never agree to me going to the human world.”

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion pondered to itself, knowing that if its idea was known to Di Tian and other soul beasts, it would be strongly opposed and prevented.

Suddenly, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to sense something unusual. It abruptly raised its head and looked towards the vast sky. A peculiar and unfamiliar aura was coming from the distant horizon. What exactly was that?

“Help! ! ! ! ”

Just then, a dazzling red light fell like a meteor from the sky, rapidly plummeting towards the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

“Boom! ! ! ”

A deafening roar suddenly rang out, followed by a violent earth-shattering tremor, as if the entire earth was trembling under this powerful impact.

“That's a human?”

Although the light fell extremely fast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, relying on its keen eyesight, could barely distinguish that the dazzling red light seemed to be包裹ing a human girl.

“Should be a human, right?”

There was a hint of doubt and self-doubt in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's voice. After all, that human girl gave it an extremely strange feeling, a feeling as if it had encountered a kindred spirit.

But how could it, as the unique Emperor Rui Beast, have a kindred spirit?

“Go take a look.”

A strong desire to explore surged in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's heart. Flames instantly ignited on its claws, and with the help of this force, it flew towards the location where the red light fell without hesitation. Although there was a trace of worry in its heart, there was more curiosity and excitement.

Recalling the last experience of being captured by a powerful human, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was filled with annoyance. That time, it was because it was too careless and accidentally ran to the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest while hunting, which led to it falling into danger.

Of course, the main reason was that the Gemini Cyclops it encountered was too cunning, too good at running, and also very good at seducing. It had never encountered such a difficult and well-positioned guy when hunting before.

“Speaking of which, what is positioning?”

The thought suddenly surfaced in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mind. Ever since the attribute connection with that human youth, it had always felt like many unfamiliar and strange memories had involuntarily appeared in its mind, often leaving it confused and bewildered.

However, it quickly shook its head, deciding not to dwell on this complex issue. After all, this was the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, the absolute territory of Soul Beasts.

Here, even if it were to encounter any danger, the Crimson King guarding its side would be able to hold off the threat for a while with his powerful strength.

And with that time, the other powerful ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest would definitely be able to react in time and come to support it.

Thinking of this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion accelerated its flight, heading towards the place where the mysterious red light had fallen.

… …

In a deep pit, a painful hiss suddenly rang out.

“Hiss~~”

From within the pit, a voice filled with anger and annoyance sounded: “It hurts! You坑货 ぇ か ∏ ※ Lord, you said it would be safe. You directly teleported me to a high altitude.”

The speaker was Qingque, who was currently sitting in the pit, pouting, her face full of displeasure. She muttered while gently rubbing her sore buttocks with her small hand.

However, strangely, when she spoke the mysterious phrase “ぇ か ∏ ※ Lord”, the sound, at the moment it left her mouth, was interfered with by an invisible force, turning into a jumble of garbled characters, as if silenced by some mysterious rule.

After recovering slightly, Qingque, feeling the pain in her buttocks lessen a bit, began to shift her attention to the surrounding environment.

Her gaze slowly swept around, surveying this unfamiliar place, and she murmured to herself, “Hmm~ What kind of ghostly place is this again?”

Entering Qingque's eyes was a forest of towering trees that reached into the clouds. These trees were thick and lush, their branches intertwined, forming a green canopy that blocked out the sun.

The air was filled with a rich and fresh aura of life, causing her to feel a sense of doubt, and she hesitated, saying, “A forest?”

“Woo~~”

“Roar~~”

At the same time, various roars of beasts came from all directions, reaching Qingque's ears. Some of these sounds were deep, some were high-pitched, some were long, and some were short, intertwined together, forming a wild and mysterious symphony.

Hearing these sounds, Qingque's heart, which had been somewhat nervous due to the fall, relaxed slightly.

Although she was not yet clear about where she had been teleported to, she knew in her heart that the presence of Soul Beasts around her meant that her safety was guaranteed to some extent.

After all, she could also be considered a Rui Beast! As long as she didn't encounter extremely dangerous Soul Beasts like the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, she believed that she was relatively safe in the Soul Beast forest.

Just as Qingque was pondering to herself, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her mind, it was Nan Fusheng's voice:

“This is the Star Dou Great Forest. I used Tang Wulin's blood, coupled with the auspicious power on your body, to teleport you to a certain point ten thousand years ago. It should be the time when Tang Wutong had already arrived on the Douluo Continent, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had not yet sacrificed herself.”

Hearing this, Qingque's eyes instantly lit up, and a playful idea seemed to flash through her mind. A somewhat excited smile appeared on her face, and she couldn't wait to ask: “Oh~ In other words, the current Huo Yuhao is still a weakling, right? (ˇˇ)”

Nan Fusheng seemed to have expected Qingque to react like this, and sighed helplessly, his tone carrying a bit of warning, “If you put it that way, that's right.”

“But you better not mess around. Huo Yuhao has a lot of trump cards. As the favored child of the Douluo Continent, it won't be so easy to kill him.”

“Moreover, history cannot be changed casually. Otherwise, before you can kill Huo Yuhao, you will be forcibly sent back. This is just an experiment, don't screw it up for me.”

Qingque quickly replied: “Aiya, don't worry, I won't mess around.” Although she said so, the excited expression on her face was not concealed at all.

She hadn't even thought about killing Huo Yuhao, but giving him a beating, with her current abilities, shouldn't be difficult, right?

“Who are you?”

Suddenly, a clear and moving female voice broke the silence. Immediately afterwards, Qingque's petite body was shrouded in a shadow.

“Huh?”

Qingque subconsciously turned her head, and at that moment, her body suddenly froze.

A Soul Beast with golden fur, its entire body as if it were translucent crystal, full of strange texture, was staring at her curiously.

Its overall form was very similar to a lion, but its four claws were like dragons, each dragon claw treading on a ball of golden flame. Its mouth was also longer than that of lion-like Soul Beasts, and beneath its fur seemed to be dense golden scales.

In addition to its normal eyes, it actually had a third eye, the two normal eyes shining with gold, while the vertical pupil emitted red, a somewhat eerie red.

“Three-Eyed Golden Lion!”

With just one glance, Qingque recognized the true form of the Soul Beast in front of her. However, this realization did not alleviate the tension in her heart, but instead made her heartbeat even faster.

Because at this moment, this Three-Eyed Golden Lion was staring straight at her, the drool flowing from the corner of its mouth clearly visible, as if she was the most delicious food in the world.

“You smell so good!”

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at Qingque, drool uncontrollably flowing down. From birth until now, it had gone through countless years, traversing and hunting in this vast forest, but this was the first time it had encountered such a tempting existence.

In the past, it only had a special liking for the brains of spiritual Soul Beasts, and had always disdained other Soul Beasts and humans, treating them like weeds.

But at this moment, the Qingque in front of it seemed to possess a special magic, completely igniting the appetite deep within it, and even beginning to seriously consider making an exception.

As this appetite grew stronger and stronger in its heart, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's rationality was gradually swallowed up. It completely forgot to think about why the seemingly weak human girl in front of it would give it such a familiar feeling.

“Lord Fusheng, save me!”

Qingque frantically cried for help in her mind. What happened to “fellow villagers meeting fellow villagers, tears welling up in their eyes”? Shouldn't the other party feel a sense of intimacy when they saw her, and then develop a great affection for her, since they were both Rui Beasts?

But now, looking at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's drooling appearance, it was clearly treating her as a delicious meal. Where was there even a hint of friendliness?

So fragrant, what the hell?!
