Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 222—Three-Eyed Golden Lion: What kind of beasts are you? How dare you look at me!

Having absorbed the two-thousand-year-old intelligent ape spirit ring, Huo Zhanji was overjoyed to have successfully unlocked his third spirit skill. You must know that this spirit skill of his was a powerful and versatile one!

With it, he could retain a sense of confidence no matter what he did.

The four searched for a while longer, until noon the next day, when they finally encountered a group of more threatening soul beasts.

On a plain on the outskirts of the mixed zone, the group encountered a large pack of troublesome ghost wolves. Fortunately, most of these ghost wolves were only a thousand or a hundred years old, and none of them had the trouble of being ten thousand years old.

Even so, the sheer number of these ghost wolves was terrifying to the group.

Huo Yuhao and his companions were indeed confident in themselves, but they weren't so arrogant as to think they could defeat or outrun a pack of hungry wolves on the plains.

Unable to fight back or escape, the four found themselves in an extremely awkward situation, surrounded by the wolves.

On a sudden inspiration, Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong exchanged a glance, then spread their wings, each holding one of the children, and took to the air, quickly changing their previous direction and flying deeper into the dense forest.

"Awooo..."

The howls of wolves rose and fell as the hungry pack charged into the woods and chased the group for hundreds of meters before turning back towards the plains, full of resentment.

Huo Zhanji spread his wings, controlling his body to hover in mid-air, panting heavily. His back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

Even walking on the plains, you can encounter packs of wolves. This Starry Sky Forest is truly too dangerous.

Even now that they have entered the woods, they are still very nervous. Their frantic escape has left them disoriented.

The area of ​​this primeval forest was so vast that the sea of ​​trees that appeared before them was truly breathtaking.

"Hoichi"

An angry roar was accompanied by a deafening rumble, like an earthquake.

Then, in Huo Yuhao's mental detection, a presence appeared that made his whole body go cold.

A deafening roar erupted, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave that seemed to overwhelm everything.

The group quickly grabbed onto the thick tree trunk beside them, which prevented them from falling off the tree.

They could clearly see that large swathes of trees to their left front had fallen like harvested wheat. A very imposing figure also leaped over.

When it landed with a loud thud, it caused a huge tremor in the ground.

The enormous figure was heading straight in his direction. Huo Zhanji could now see its appearance clearly: a giant covered in black and white fur, with two heads on its shoulders. Its massive body was over ten meters tall. Both heads had a single eye, radiating a terrifying light.

Upon seeing the enormous twin cyclops, Huo Zhan felt a strange sense of familiarity. After all, the one chasing after this cyclops was none other than the Three-Eyed Golden Lion who had given him the Eye of Destiny!

At the same time, a certain shameless, fat silkworm had given Huo Yuhao a very unreliable hint:

A certain "top-grade" soul beast with a cultivation period between 15,000 and 20,000 years, possessing spiritual attributes...

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and said, "I sensed a suitable soul beast nearby. I need to go check it out. Xiao Dong, Xiao Xiao, Zhan Ji, wait for me!"

Without waiting for anyone's objection, Huo Yuhao jumped down from the tree, his figure flashed, and he darted away using the Ghost Shadow Tracking technique.

The moment Huo Yuhao flashed out, his body vanished into thin air.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were also stunned. Huo Yuhao had actually abandoned them all, which was something they never expected.

When they came to their senses, they realized that Huo Zhanji had also run away.

"Wang Dong, what's going on?" Xiao Xiao's lips twitched, looking at Wang Dong with a wry smile.

Wang Dong pouted and said, "How would I know!"

The twin cyclops had already run quite a distance when Huo Yuhao, having just landed, encountered another soul beast face-to-face…

This soul beast's entire body seemed to be made of translucent crystal, filled with a strange texture. Its overall shape resembled a lion, but its four claws were like those of a dragon, with a ball of golden flame beneath each dragon claw.

Its mouth was also longer than that of lion-type spirit beasts, and beneath its fur appeared to be fine, golden scales. In addition to its normal two eyes, it even had a third eye—a vertical pupil.

The two normal eyes shimmered with gold, but this vertical pupil emitted a red glow, a red with an eerie quality.

"Human, get lost! I have no appetite for you!" The three-eyed golden lion glared at Huo Yuhao, walked straight past him, and chased after the twin cyclops.

After taking only a few steps, a black figure descended from the sky, blocking the way of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. The figure feigned familiarity, raising a hand in greeting: "Long time no see!"

"Who the hell are you?! Do you think we're that close? Who the hell hasn't seen you in ages?! You jerk, my lunch's way off!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared in grief and anger, its three eyes flashing with a fierce and piercing light as it howled viciously:

"Damn it, if you don't give me a reason to stop me from eating, I'll rip your heads off and use them as footballs!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhanji's face stiffened. He stared incredulously at the three-eyed golden lion, whose face was practically etched with rage, and thought to himself:

[This plot is quite different from what I expected. Could it be... there are two more auspicious beasts in the world?]

When in doubt, get it assessed...

Huo Zhanji silently activated his spirit ring and released it towards the Three-Eyed Golden Lion…

"The Imperial Auspicious Beast, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Status: Extremely Rage, Talents: Spirit, Ultimate Light, Ultimate Fire."

"Powerful, capable of fighting a 100,000-year-old soul beast without being at a disadvantage, enjoys eating the brains of light-attribute soul beasts, cultivation level: 17,864 years.①"

"How dare you glare at me! Can't you tell I'm angry?!"

Upon realizing he had been scanned by mental energy, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, already in a bad mood, went berserk...

A moment later...

"Ah..." With a scream, Huo Zhanji flew backward, rolling on the ground countless times, bleeding from his mouth and nose, his whole body convulsing, and it was clear that many of his bones were broken.

In fact, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion held back because of the faint trace of fate power on the other party; otherwise... she could have easily smashed this lunatic who dared to glare at her with his mental power into pieces with a single tail strike.

"Wow, that's fantastic! A beautiful home run!"

Qian Lingyun concealed her aura, sitting casually on a tree branch in the distance, excitedly watching the baseball genius Three-Eyed Golden Lion's beautiful fastball through her soul-guided telescope. She couldn't help but put down the telescope and start clapping.

She thought to herself: [An eye-based martial soul, a fallen angel, and looks so much like Huo Yuhao, how could there possibly be a Time and Space Administration?] [No, no, no, impossible. How could the Time and Space Administration be so weak? Anyway… using it for dissection and research would be great…]

boom!

Another loud bang and a sharp cry followed, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to shake violently.

For a moment, shrill howls and furious roars mingled together.

Intense fluctuations of soul power transformed into a monstrous wave that emanated from the direction of the home run. Qian Lingyun's gaze sharpened, and she picked up the soul-guided telescope to look in that direction again.

"Smash!" Qian Lingyun slammed the soul-guided telescope away from her hand, gritting her teeth as she said:

"The kids are just playing around, and this old man has to come out too? Damn it! I'll show you what's what!"

(①As mentioned earlier, when he was guided by Qian Lingyun, his cultivation level improved, so his strength increased by several thousand years!)
