In front was a Spirit Beast, very majestic, looking like a lion but with three identical heads, each head over a meter in diameter, its teeth emitting a reddish-golden glow.
Although its body wasn't as large as some Spirit Beasts, the violent, scorching aura it exuded made it difficult to breathe.
Behind it was another brilliant golden Spirit Beast.
Its golden fur, its entire body seemed like translucent crystal.
Its overall form was the same as the Spirit Beast in front, very much like a lion, but its claws were four-pronged, similar to dragon claws, and beneath the dragon claws was a ball of golden flame.
Its mouth was also a bit longer than that of a lion-type Spirit Beast, and beneath its fur were golden scales.
In addition to its normal pair of eyes, it also had a third eye, shaped like a vertical pupil.
Its normal eyes gleamed with gold, while the vertical pupil emitted a red light, giving off a very eerie sensation.
Xiao Ze naturally recognized these two Spirit Beasts.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion and its bodyguard, the Red King.
Everyone could feel the power of these two Spirit Beasts. Ning Rongrong tightly gripped Xiao Ze's arm; she was a bit scared.
"Human." The Red King opened its large mouth.
Xiao Ze shielded Ning Rongrong and the others behind him: "Red King."
The Red King immediately swallowed the words it was about to say. Its pupils constricted, staring intently at Xiao Ze, as if trying to see through him.
After a long while, it realized its small brain couldn't quite comprehend, so it decided to ask: "You know me?"
"A fierce beast within the Star Dou Great Forest, a Spirit Beast on the verge of reaching three ten thousand years," Xiao Ze nodded.
The Red King was three ten thousand years old in the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, but it certainly hadn't reached three ten thousand years yet.
"Red King, he knows you. Have you met him before?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked curiously.
"No." The Red King shook its head.
Ning Rongrong and the others were also very curious as to how Xiao Ze knew such a powerful Spirit Beast.
But they were even more curious that there could be Spirit Beasts over two ten thousand years old within the Star Dou Great Forest; it was simply outrageous.
It seemed the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were nothing at all.
The Star Dou Great Forest truly held many secrets.
"How do you know me?" The Red King thought for a moment and threatened, "If you don't tell me, you'll all die. Since you know me, you should know my strength."
"Of course, I not only know you, I also know the Three-Eyed Golden Lion behind you, and even those Spirit Beasts…" With the God of Agriculture backing him, Xiao Ze was very bold.
Besides, these fierce beasts were different from other Spirit Beasts; they mainly strived for Spirit Beast deification. As for the other Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, they managed them very little.
Otherwise, how many Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts could humans obtain in the Star Dou Great Forest?
The Red King took a step forward, full of oppressive presence.
It snarled, "Speak! How do you know it?!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was extremely important to the Soul Beast Clan; as the embodiment of the Star Dou Great Forest's luck, it was also equivalent to a part of the Spirit Beast's luck embodiment.
After all, the number of Spirit Beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest was enormous. As one of the three major Spirit Beast gathering places, its luck could not be small.
Ning Rongrong and the others took a step back. They didn't know why simply saying a Spirit Beast's name made it angry.
Was there something special about this Spirit Beast?
Uh… it was indeed very handsome, and they had never heard its name before.
It really seemed very different.
"I know a lot. Are you sure you want to know now, here…" Xiao Ze subtly extended a finger forward, and an aura of the God of Agriculture permeated the air.
Immediately, the Red King felt the aura of death, its hair stood on end, and it snatched up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, retreating rapidly for over a hundred meters.
"Damn it! What is this aura? Why does it make me feel like I'm going to die? It's like the feeling my master gives me."
"Could it be a god?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said after being put down.
The Red King's pupils suddenly constricted. A god!
This human was related to a god, perhaps an heir of a god. Damn it… to encounter such a thing on a single outing.
Seeing the Red King scared away, Xiao Ze was also stunned for a moment, but he still led the women forward.
"Xiao Ze, do we really have to go? We're no match for them," Liu Erlong said.
"Don't worry, I'm not an ordinary person. It can't harm us. Besides, perhaps the research on spirit souls still needs their help. They are not ordinary Spirit Beasts."
Just as everyone approached within fifty meters, the Red King roared, "Humans, don't come any closer!"
Xiao Ze smiled helplessly: "Red King, as a fierce beast, you wouldn't be scared, would you?"
"How… how could that be!" The Red King tried to maintain a fierce demeanor.
However, its fear was still very obvious, as Spirit Beasts could not possess acting skills as convincing as humans.
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. Otherwise, would I be speaking to you so politely?"
Although he said so, the Red King still couldn't relax, as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was right beside it. If something happened to it, it would truly be troublesome.
"You are an inheritor of a god."
"You could say that," Xiao Ze nodded.
"What are you doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"To obtain a spirit ring, of course. What else would I be doing here?"
"Then quickly get your spirit ring and leave." The Red King was somewhat unsure about Xiao Ze. This person gave it a very comfortable feeling, but he also had the power of a god, capable of instantly killing it, which made it very afraid.
These two contradictory feelings made the Red King extremely tense.
If possible, it really wanted Di Tian to come himself; it wanted to go back to sleep.
"If I hadn't met you, I would have truly thought that. But now that I've met you, I have a new idea."
As soon as Xiao Ze said this, the Red King's fur immediately bristled, its body crouched, ready to attack.
Ning Rongrong tugged Xiao Ze's arm: "Don't say such things."
Xiao Ze cleared his throat: "I have no ill intentions."
Saying this, Xiao Ze took out the cabbage and green vegetables he had grown. The effects of these two crops were actually related to Spirit Beasts, which had surprised Xiao Ze back then.
Green vegetables could increase the chance of a Spirit Beast breaking through.
And cabbage could increase a Spirit Beast's cultivation.
For Spirit Beasts, both were two incredibly potent effects.
"So fragrant! Even more fragrant than before!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up, and it slowly stepped forward.
However, it was stopped by the Red King. Although it also smelled the fragrance, and its saliva urged it to go and eat, it still strongly held back.
Seeing the two Spirit Beasts like this, Xiao Ze knew that these two crops had a very strong attraction for Spirit Beasts.
Of course, it was also possible that Spirit Beasts' sense of smell was dozens, or even hundreds, of times stronger than humans'.
In any case, Xiao Ze didn't smell anything from these two crops.
But when stir-fried, they were incredibly delicious.
