Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 111 If you like it, just snatch it and mate with it.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

A voice filled with doubt rang out beside her. When Di Tian reappeared beside Gu Yuena, several figures transformed from ferocious beasts had appeared around him.

The moment they sensed the fluctuations in Gu Yuena's spiritual power, they were startled. Before they could even explain, Di Tian immediately led several people through space to rush over.

The words that were about to be spoken were abruptly cut off when Di Tian saw the broken piece of the Life Gold in front of Gu Yuena. Seeing his boss's somewhat gloomy face, Di Tian swallowed the rest of his words.

Just kidding. As the acting manager of the Star Dou Great Forest, he bears the greatest responsibility for leaving something so important missing. It's already good enough that Gu Yuena doesn't blame him. Bringing up something so inappropriate at a time like this is just asking for a beating.

However, the thought of catching the thief soon made a hint of excitement flash in Di Tian's eyes.

Although the one who stole the Gold of Life was able to conceal his aura and hide it from him, he could not hide it from the god-level master. After a thorough search, Gu Yuena quickly locked onto the target through the faint fluctuations of life energy.

As auspicious spirit beasts that bring good fortune and ward off evil, an indescribable sense of impending doom enveloped the hearts of every spirit beast in the Golden Tortoiseshell Clan's territory the moment they sensed Gu Yuena's spiritual energy fluctuations.

One of the golden hawksbill turtles, which was over two meters long and whose aura was noticeably weak, had a look of horror flash in its eyes. Before it could even burrow underground to escape, a terrifying pressure descended upon it.

The dazzling silver light descended like divine might, turning the entire territory of the Golden Tortoiseshell Clan into a silvery expanse.

Immediately afterwards, an immense force descended, leaving no room for resistance.

Under the horrified gazes of the rest of their clansmen, the space where the weakened golden hawksbill turtle stood suddenly tore apart. A dragon claw covered in magnificent silver scales emerged from the shattered spatial rift, giving it no chance to resist, and dragged it directly into the deep darkness.

Even as it tumbled down from the spatial rift, the bewildered look on the golden tortoiseshell's face had not faded.

It subconsciously looked around, and with each ferocious beast that appeared infamous in the Star Dou Great Forest, the despair in its eyes deepened.

Like Di Tian and the others, when it noticed the missing piece of the Life Gold in front of Gu Yuena, it immediately understood why she had captured it.

In fact, several years ago, when it first sensed the aura of this being, who it had never heard of before and who was even more powerful than the Beast God Di Tian, ​​it was worried that this day would come. However, the aura disappeared not long after that, and many years later, it finally felt at ease.

For this, it was quite smug for a time, thinking to itself, "Even such a powerful being couldn't detect that I stole the Gold of Life. What will happen once it absorbs all the life energy from the Gold of Life?!"

When the time comes, let alone the position of Beast God being rotated, this year it's my turn. Even this being, who is even more powerful than Di Tian, ​​probably wouldn't be a match for me, right?

However, as time went on, when the life-giving metal began to devour his life force in reverse, it finally realized something was wrong.

In just two or three years, not only had all the life energy absorbed from the Gold of Life been absorbed back, but even most of the life energy that originally belonged to him had been absorbed.

If the Gold of Life continues to absorb its energy like this, it's afraid it won't last more than a few years, but it doesn't dare to ask anyone for help with this!

How does it say that?

Did I find a great treasure in the Lake of Life?

Let alone speaking out, even if it only released a slight trace of its aura, it would probably have already been discovered by Di Tian and slapped to death.

After hiding it for several years, I thought the matter was over, but who knew the other party would actually come knocking on my door to settle scores.

Upon seeing the golden tortoiseshell, Di Tian was stunned for a moment, then a violent killing intent flashed in his golden eyes.

"My lord, should we kill it?"

Although he still couldn't sense any aura from this old bastard, since he had been captured by the master, there was no mistake.

Damn it, they're really asking for trouble, daring to steal things from such an ominous place!

If we don't make an example of them, won't anyone be able to come and steal a piece in the future?

Seemingly sensing the respect in Di Tian and the others' eyes, the Golden Tortoiseshell immediately prostrated itself before Gu Yuena without saying a word.

"Spare me, my lord! I truly know I was wrong. Please, spare me this time!"

Looking at the golden hawksbill turtle that seemed to want to bury its head in the ground, Gu Yuena shook her head.

"I'll spare its life for now. With 100,000 years of cultivation, it'll be perfect for the task I'm about to complete, which I need to test on."

"Yes."

Hearing that Gu Yuena didn't seem to intend to kill it, the golden tortoiseshell's eyes lit up, and it looked up to meet the girl's deep purple eyes that were looking at it again.

"You now have two choices: one is to die here, and what you stole will be automatically removed from your body; the other is to have it removed now..."

"I choose option two! My lord, I choose option two..."

Before Gu Yuena could finish speaking, the golden tortoise hurriedly made its choice. Based on what the other party had just said, it naturally knew what kind of experiment the second choice would involve.

But at least we can survive.

After all, even if it does nothing, it will die from having its life force drained by the Life Gold within a few years. Option two can also remove this damned Life Gold. Although I don't know what I will encounter, it will definitely not be worse than the first option.

As if she had anticipated this scene, Gu Yuena remained silent, grasped the Life Gold in front of her with one hand, and slowly activated it, causing a dazzling cyan-green light to bloom from her hand.

Bathed in this light, Di Tian and the others felt a warm sensation spread through their bodies. Overjoyed, they all silently absorbed this rare life energy.

Although as ferocious beasts they are qualified to enter the Lake of Life, compared to the life energy that Gu Yuena is currently emitting, which is almost tangible, the effect of the lake water is nothing.

The golden tortoiseshell, however, experienced a different sensation. The living gold that it had swallowed and which had merged with its body seemed to respond to a summons, fluctuating violently.

Just then, Gu Yuena slowly raised her other hand and suddenly grasped it.

As if pulled by an immense force, Gu Yuena suddenly pulled backward, and a small, emerald-green stone, resembling jade, slowly peeled off from the golden tortoiseshell's body.

pat-

As the piece of living gold landed on the ground with a crisp sound, the golden tortoiseshell seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, its body swelling wildly like an inflating balloon, returning to its size of 100,000 years of cultivation in just a moment.

Feeling that the life energy within its body was now less than half of what it had been before absorbing the Gold of Life, a bitter look flashed in the eyes of the golden tortoise.

Now, instead of reaping any benefits, they've lost a huge amount of vitality; they've really lost out big time.

He was already incredibly lucky to be alive, and he didn't dare complain in front of Gu Yuena.

After throwing the larger piece of Life Gold back into the lake, Gu Yuena guided the Life Gold that had been peeled from the golden tortoiseshell to fly into her hand.

This time, however, she didn't throw it back into the lake. Instead, she expressionlessly put it into her storage bracelet.

After doing all that, she glanced sideways at the trembling golden tortoiseshell, who looked as if it were awaiting judgment, and casually gave the order.

"Red King, take it away and keep it under strict guard."

"Yes."

After the Crimson King left with the Golden Tortoiseshell, Gu Yuena looked at the others.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll get started now. Once the Red King arrives, you can relay the instructions I've given him."

"Yes."

Seeing that the group looked down and ready to be scolded, Gu Yuena pursed her lips and spoke calmly.

"Don't be nervous. The reason I called you here is to have you pay more attention to the injured, dying, and near-death soul beasts in the forest from now on, and do your best to keep them alive."

As she spoke, Gu Yuena briefly explained the soul spirits she had seen on Huo Yuhao. Upon hearing that those soul beasts who only had a few years left to live still had a chance to prolong their lives, the ferocious beasts were all stunned.

The first to react was Brigitte, whose kind nature led her to show a look of joy.

"My lord, I will return to the tribe and give the order shortly."

With Brigitte taking the lead, the others nodded in agreement.

"Well, and then there's the second thing."

Gu Yuena paused, and after a long pause, she spoke again.

"I've recently run into some issues that are confusing me, so I'd like to hear your thoughts."

Upon hearing this, all the ferocious beasts present showed expressions of shock.

Good heavens! For so many years they've been following the Silver Dragon King's orders, and now they're actually offering advice to their master?!

They were all rubbing their hands together, excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Please speak, Lord!"

Faced with the intense gazes of the group, Gu Yuena remained silent, as if she were contemplating how to begin.

For a long time, the ethereal voice echoed in the ears of the ferocious beasts.

"It's like walking in a forest and suddenly noticing a flower."

"At first, you just felt that the flower was special and seemed different from other flowers. Even though it was rooted in the same soil, its flowers and fragrance were completely different from other flowers, and it attracted you for some reason."

"With the mindset that it's enough to simply admire it whenever you want, you didn't take the flower back to your own territory to claim it as your own. But gradually you found that more and more people were noticing the flower."

At this point, Gu Yuena paused again and spoke softly.

"What would you do if you were in my shoes?"

silence.

Only the robust Xiong Jun scratched his head blankly, looked at the Demon King beside him, and asked hesitantly.

"Is the Lord getting into a fight over a flower?"

"Are you an idiot?"

The Demon King couldn't help but roll his eyes and explained irritably, "My lord is talking about humans."

"Oh, humans."

Ignoring the Demon King's words, Xiong Jun nodded as if he understood, and then asked another question.

"Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble? If you like it, why not just snatch it and let it mate with you?"
