Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

It was a fierce yet majestic pressure, also radiating a strong aura of light!

"A true dragon...?"

The aura was so noble and powerful that the rat-headed earth dragon went limp and tucked its tail between its legs.

It cried out in alarm and quickly retreated dozens of meters, its small eyes darting around rapidly.

Zhang Lexuan exclaimed in surprise:

"Elder Mu?!"

Suddenly, a figure, accompanied by the roar of machinery and with overwhelming power, shot down from the sky like a streak of light!

The rat-headed earth dragon was terrified. It raised its claws and slammed the ground, its body sinking into the ground once more.

The streak of light swiftly swept past Zhang Lexuan's location, then carried her away at an undiminished speed, disappearing into the horizon.

"Wu Dao? What are you doing here?!"

Zhang Lexuan recognized the person in front of her and asked in surprise and worry.

Yu Wudao put away the dragon pill stained with his own blood essence, took out two baby bottles from his storage soul tool, and tossed them to Zhang Lexuan, saying:

"No time for nonsense, that beast should have realized something's wrong by now."

I can only sustain this level-six flying soul tool for a maximum of three minutes! And we can only fly within its range, otherwise we'll be attacked by other soul beasts. We're not out of danger yet. If you don't want us both to die here, hurry up and recover your soul power!

Zhang Lexuan pursed her lips, looking at Yu Wudao's pale face, a thousand words swallowed into her heart, and she gripped the baby bottle tightly and began to slowly recover her soul power.

The Soul Guidance Technology of the Douluo Continent is scarce, and every milk bottle can be said to be a strategic resource. The level 6 milk bottle in Zhang Lexuan's hand is a storage that Shrek Academy obtained at an auction, and there are less than ten of them in total.

The air fell silent, but Yu Wudao's movements did not stop.

As he flew, he took out some dark meatballs from his storage soul tool and threw them to the ground.

The meatball emitted an exceptionally strong aroma, which Zhang Lexuan could still smell even while flying in the air, surrounded by the sound of the wind.

Zhang Lexuan looked puzzled, but she still needed to recover her soul power, so she didn't ask any questions.

But Yu Wudao seemed to see her confusion, and explained while continuing what he was doing:

"This is a special bait made by Elder Gong, the best quality kind, and it's our biggest guarantee of survival!"

This bait is made with extremely luxurious ingredients; one gram is worth as much as ten kilograms of gold! The academy usually calculates its usage by the gram.

"Once I throw this bait, it will attract spirit beasts from dozens of kilometers away. Some spirit beasts with excellent sense of smell might even be able to smell it from a hundred miles away."

Zhang Lexuan blinked.

Yu Wudao understood immediately.

"You mean what's the point? That beast certainly won't waste time letting us escape by being lured by this bait, right?"

Zhang Lexuan nodded.

Yu Wudao grabbed a handful and threw them down again, a smile playing on his lips.

You'll find out soon enough.

The wind whistled in his ears, and Yu Wudao suddenly turned around and glanced back, as if sensing something.

A huge rat's head covered in scales appeared on the ground in the distance behind him. It glanced at the black meatball next to it and sneered, seemingly mocking Yu Wudao's stupidity.

Yu Wudao withdrew his gaze and focused all his attention on the journey.

While Yu Wudao was making every effort to escape...

The core area of ​​the Starry Sky is experiencing unusual activity because of his decoy.

A large number of soul beasts were attracted by the highly tempting scent, but after getting close enough, the few hundred-year and thousand-year soul beasts in the core area, which were mostly wild, were all intimidated by the aura of the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and dared not approach any further.

The ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, whose rationality and wildness were in a state of chaos, was unaffected until it reached the area where the aura of the Rat-Headed Earth Dragon was extremely dense, at which point it stopped in fear.

But at this location, the scent of the bait was already quite strong, and with so many of their companions around, they were unwilling to leave, leading to a very strange scene.

A large number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts arrived from all directions, surrounding the area. As the number of baits increased and messages were relayed between soul beast clans, more soul beasts continued to arrive from afar.

If Gong Changlong knew that Yu Wudao dared to use such specially made bait meat in the core area of ​​the Star Dou, he probably wouldn't care about his extravagance and would only sincerely call him a "hero"!

Such unusual activity could not possibly go unnoticed by that little ancestor in the core area.

Among the unusually active beasts, there was one particularly conspicuous presence.

Its entire body is covered in brilliant golden fur, resembling translucent crystal, exuding a luxurious texture. Golden scales are hidden beneath the fur. It stands over three meters tall, with a shoulder height of eight feet, resembling a lion overall, but its muzzle is longer than that of ordinary lion-type spirit beasts. Its four claws are like dragons, its feet tread on golden flames, and above its golden eyes is a third vertical eye!

This incredibly beautiful spirit beast is none other than the Emperor Beast – the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

It rampaged wildly, attacking any spirit beasts that blocked its path, but none of them dared to fight back.

While the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was also heading in that direction, its purpose was different from theirs.

As one of the top-tier spirit-type soul beasts, her perception range was extremely wide. She noticed the anomaly not long after the soul beasts began to move.

At first, she just wanted to watch the excitement, but after getting closer, the strange fragrance that was so alluring it wafted over her.

But what really excited the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the strange movement coming from the vertical eye on its forehead. The source of the fragrance suddenly became extremely attractive to it, even more so than playing or hunting!

As the distance closed, a sense of urgency inexplicably arose in her heart, which forced her to speed up!

the other side

Three minutes had passed, and Yu Wudao, relying on his initial distance advantage and unpredictable route, managed to prevent the Rat-Headed Earth Dragon from catching up with the two despite his speed disadvantage.

But his soul power reserves have reached their limit.

The two landed, and Yu Wudao, his face pale, asked:

"Sister Lexuan, how's your recovery going?"

Zhang Lexuan parted her lips slightly, "One and a half percent. I'll hold him off for a bit. Wudao, you just run. No need to follow your sister..."

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound interrupted Zhang Lexuan's words.

Yu Wudao slowly withdrew his hand, which still carried a warm fragrance, and looked at Zhang Lexuan, who was covering her bottom with a flushed face, and said:

"Don't order me around. You're already a loser. From now on, you'll obey my orders! You stop it, I'll restore it. I still have a way."

Yu Wudao took out the baby bottle and anxiously scanned his surroundings while recovering his soul power.

"No, still nothing... Such a commotion shouldn't have been kept from it. If it knew about the unusual activity here, it would definitely come to investigate. Could it be that it's been locked up by Di Tian recently?"

Upon considering this possibility, Yu Wudao's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but look at his storage soul tool.

"That means we'll have to use the riskier Plan B: lure this beast to the gathering place of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts outside, and then find an opportunity to stuff all the remaining special bait onto it!"

Yu Wudao's expression hardened, and he pulled off the jade pendant and held it in his hand.

But just then, a golden hue appeared in his field of vision!
