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

Chapter 23 Silver Dragon King: I'll Take Action Personally

"My auspicious beast, what's wrong?"

Just as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was looking around, a majestic voice rang out beside her. As the voice fell, the space around her distorted, and a man with black hair and a black robe stepped out from it.

"Di Tian." The three-eyed golden lion sounded somewhat bewildered. "I think I sensed the aura of destiny, right on the outskirts of the forest."

"The aura of destiny? A kindred spirit?" Di Tian was slightly taken aback. Then, an ethereal female voice seemed to come from all directions.

"I felt that too."

"My lord, you're awake?"

Upon hearing this voice, a look of joy appeared on Di Tian's face, and he immediately knelt on one knee, while the three-eyed golden lion beside him simply lowered its head to show respect.

Although she is a mythical beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, her status is certainly not higher than that of Di Tian. The reason she doesn't have to kneel is entirely because this lord favors and takes good care of her.

"Yes, two years ago, I sensed that a similar aura to the auspicious beast had suddenly appeared in this plane. I was already awake at that time. The aura that the auspicious beast mentioned is now outside the Star Dou Great Forest."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian frowned. "How could this be? Could it be that the gods of the divine realm have done something?"

The ethereal voice pondered for a moment before making a decision, "Mythical Beast, you stay here and don't wander off. I'll go check on you myself."

"Go in person?" Di Tian was slightly taken aback. "Your Highness, are your injuries healed?"

"Not yet, and it won't be any better anytime soon, but we need to get to the bottom of this right now."

The voice didn't say everything. Two years ago, she sensed far more than that. She even sensed the auras of two deities for a moment. But compared to real deities, those two auras, though not weak, were negligible in terms of strength. If they weren't in the same plane, she probably wouldn't have been able to perceive their existence.

The only thing she could think of that could happen was the death of a deity from the divine realm, leaving only a wisp of a soul that wasn't even a divine consciousness, which accidentally entered this world.

Regardless of whether they are friend or foe, if things are really as she predicted, then this is definitely a good opportunity to understand the situation in the God Realm.

In an instant, the entire Star Dou Great Forest began to tremble slightly, the earth cracked inch by inch, and a huge dragon claw covered with silver hexagonal scales burst out of the ground. Its huge body seemed to crawl out of the abyss, and the dazzling silver light it emitted even dimmed the sun in the sky.

An indescribable aura spread out, and if one looked down from high above, one would find that the entire Star Dou Great Forest was covered by a faint silver light, and everything in the forest began to become blurry.

In an instant, all the spirit beasts in the forest seemed to sense something and crawled down toward the center of the forest, except for a large, snow-white silkworm that was underground, constantly pupating toward the edge of the forest.

Sensing the terrifying aura, it quickened its digging pace while letting out a near-collapsed cry.

"Do you have to target me like this?! I barely survived a million years under the nose of that beast god, and now an even more powerful one has appeared."

"Help! — Huh?"

The crying stopped abruptly halfway through, and as the breath receded like the tide, the big silkworm blinked its two bright golden eyes twice.

"It seems they're not here to arrest me."

"Phew—I was almost scared to death. This place is no place for a silkworm to live. Let's get out of here!"

As if it had just escaped death, the giant silkworm let out a long sigh, grunted twice, and its previously urgent movements did not slow down in the slightest, desperately wriggling towards the edge of the forest.

In the ominous place at the heart of the forest, a young girl dressed in a plain white dress stood before Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Her silver hair, shimmering like crystal, cascaded down from her shoulders to her waist, and her exquisite face perfectly exemplified what it meant to be a peerless beauty.

"My Lord, you are so beautiful."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes widened in surprise. This was the first time she had ever seen the true form of the Lord of Soul Beasts since she was born. She immediately stepped forward and affectionately rubbed against his arm. The girl first looked down at herself expressionlessly, then raised her hand to pat his head before turning to look at Di Tian.

"While I'm away, the Star Dou Great Forest will continue to be managed by you."

"Yes, my lord."

Outside the Starry Sky Forest.

Huo Yuhao was standing naked in a stream, occasionally scooping up water with a wooden basin and pouring it over himself.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on him, revealing his well-defined muscles and showcasing the improvement in his physical condition over the past two years.

After taking a quick shower, he took out a peculiar-smelling ointment from his storage space and began applying it all over his body.

Since he planned to venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't leave without any preparation. This ointment, which he had prepared himself, could effectively conceal his aura.

Although the effect might not be particularly significant for some soul beasts with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, this is the limit he can achieve. If his luck really turns that bad, then he has nothing to say. Moreover, with the Eye of Destiny, he can sense some dangers, so there is no need to worry too much.

"If you want to become stronger, there's no way you can do it without taking any risks."

He muttered something to himself, then put his clothes back on. Feeling the fluctuations emanating from the Eye of Destiny, he looked towards the center of the forest with a somewhat complicated expression, but that complicated look was quickly replaced by determination.

"Now is not the time."

With the help of the ointment and the warning from the Eye of Destiny, Huo Yuhao moved forward very quickly, without any intention of being cautious. With his current strength, it would be most dangerous to search slowly, and the longer he stayed in the forest, the more dangerous it would be.

When he passed the spot where he had met Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his previous life, Huo Yuhao deliberately stopped for a while. After waiting for a while and finding that no strange sounds were ringing in his mind, he set off again.

Time always flies when you're focused, and as the sky gradually darkened, Huo Yuhao finally reached the edge of the mixed zone.

The soul beasts on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest are generally not strong, and even thousand-year-old soul beasts are rare. However, the mixed zone is different. You may encounter a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast at any time. If you are unlucky, you may become fertilizer for the forest.

After traveling for half a day, Huo Yuhao decided to find a suitable place to set up camp nearby. Soul beasts that are active at night are often more ferocious, so it is not suitable to go any deeper. It would be better to conserve his energy and continue the journey the next morning.

After wandering around for a while, Huo Yuhao found a clearing with a wide view, suitable for setting up camp.

Now that they've reached the heart of the forest, it's definitely not possible to start a fire and cook. However, he has a habit of carrying plenty of food, especially after unlocking the original sin of gluttony, so he almost never lets himself go hungry.

He skillfully sprinkled animal repellent powder around the tent and had just finished setting it up when he heard footsteps approaching, accompanied by the faint sounds of people talking.

"There seems to be an open space up ahead, let's go check it out."

The footsteps drew closer, and soon a group of twelve people came into Huo Yuhao's view, both men and women, who all looked to be around twenty years old.

Upon seeing the appearance of the woman in the lead, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.

Zhang Lexuan was the senior sister of Shrek Academy's inner court, whom he knew very well in his previous life.

As for the other eleven people, he didn't recognize any of them, but they must be disciples of Shrek Academy's inner court.
