"Wow, it smells so good!"
Just as Yuwen Tuo's food aroma was luring soul beasts, it seemed that not only his target soul beasts, but also something else was attracted.
It was a soul beast resembling a golden lion, but overall much more beautiful than a golden lion. It was exquisite and adorable, its entire body covered in a layer of brilliant golden fur.
Beneath the fur were beautiful golden scales. Besides its two normal eyes, it also had a third eye with a vertical pupil. Its two normal eyes shimmered with golden light, while the vertical pupil emanated an alluring reddish glow.
After speaking, the adorable little lion made a few beautiful leaps and disappeared into the forest.
Not long after it left, suddenly a three-headed dog, its entire body ablaze, leaped out. It was over five meters long, extremely robust, and somewhat resembled a lion, but it had three identical large heads. Each head was over a meter in diameter, and terrifying fangs emitted a reddish glow.
"Where is this little ancestor running off to now?" Its tone was filled with helplessness. It was one of the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, yet it was helpless against this little fellow.
Thump, thump, thump
Accompanied by several massive footsteps, three colossal beasts appeared on the shore. All three were bear-type soul beasts. Two were covered in red flame patterns, with saliva drooling from their mouths like fresh blood. One had golden claws, seemingly possessing the power to tear dragons apart.
"Two Blood Demon Mad Bears, plus one Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear." Yuwen Tuo's Yin-Yang Devil Eyes were open, allowing him to see the three giant bears on the lake shore clearly, even from underwater.
He could also roughly distinguish their age. The two Blood Demon Mad Bears were probably around 30,000 to 35,000 years old. The Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear, on the other hand, was around 40,000 years old.
In terms of pure strength, the Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear was naturally the strongest, but the two Blood Demon Mad Bears, if they combined their strength, might not be unable to challenge it.
There were three bears here, but the small amount of food Yuwen Tuo had prepared probably wouldn't even be enough for one of them to eat, let alone be divided equally. In the world of soul beasts, there was always only one way to resolve such situations: fight. The victor would get everything, and the loser would get nothing.
"Roar!" The Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear let out a furious roar, using its signature move, the Dark Golden Dreadclaw, to strike at the two Blood Demon Mad Bears. Although the Blood Demon Mad Bears' attack power was inferior to the Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear's,
their strength was arguably superior. The two bears simultaneously swung their paws, combining their efforts to withstand the Dark Golden Dreadclaw. These two Blood Demon Mad Bears might not have been allied, but having reached an age of over 30,000 years,
they still possessed some intelligence. They both knew that they were definitely no match for the Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear in a one-on-one fight; only by combining their strength did they have a chance.
For a time, the three giant beasts on the shore fought an inseparable battle. Yuwen Tuo witnessed for the first time the power of the Dark Golden Dreadclaw, rumored to be able to tear dragons apart.
It was indeed worthy of its reputation. Even with two Blood Demon Mad Bears fighting one Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear, they couldn't gain an inch of advantage. On the contrary, their own proud,
powerful bodies were like tofu in front of the ultimate move of the Dark Golden Dreadclaw. As long as the Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear managed to hit them once, their flesh would be torn open like tofu.
"Every time I see the Dark Golden Dreadclaw skill, I can't help but marvel at its astonishing power. Little Tuo, watch closely. The power of the Dark Golden Dreadclaw is far more than this. This is just a 40,000-year-old bear. If Bear Lord, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts,
were to use it, its power would increase a hundredfold. Not only that, Bear Lord also has a self-created skill, Sky-Tearing Claw, which has even injured Di Tian," Ice Empress reminded him.
She aimed to cultivate Yuwen Tuo into a god. Bear Lord's metal-attributed soul ring was even more suitable for Yuwen Tuo's Xuanyuan Sword than her own and Snow Empress's. In her plan, Yuwen Tuo would have to face Bear Lord sooner or later. It wasn't bad to observe the Dark Golden Dreadclaw's attack pattern beforehand.
"Aww, aww!"
Just as the three bears were fighting fiercely, a sound of eating suddenly appeared nearby. The three bears stopped fighting and looked over, only to see a small golden creature flipping into the pot, already having nearly devoured all the eel and Mao Xuewang.
The three colossal beasts immediately flew into a rage. They had been fighting to the death here, and something dared to cut in front of them? Especially the two heavily injured Blood Demon Mad Bears; one of them roared, preparing to unleash their clan's Blood Demon Heavy Punch downwards.
Just then, the little creature finally ate its fill, revealing an adorable little head. The Blood Demon Mad Bear that had unleashed the heavy punch was stunned when it saw the little creature's face. It frantically tried to retract its attack, but it seemed too late.
Retracting it was impossible, so it could only redirect its strike, hitting the bear next to it instead. As a result, the other Blood Demon Mad Bear next to it was unlucky, taking the redirected blow directly to the chest and crashing through ten large trees before finally landing.
They had just been comrades fighting side-by-side, but now one had inexplicably suffered this undeserved calamity. Yet, it could understand. After all, this little creature was the Emperor Rui Beast. If that Blood Demon Heavy Punch had truly struck it, they would all surely be made into barbecue by all the soul beasts in the forest later.
Yes, this little creature was precisely the legendary Emperor Rui Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. However, its size was different from the original novel, which described it as over three meters long with a shoulder height of eight feet. But this one was a tiny creature, less than one meter tall, more in line with an anime character, and utterly adorable.
Regardless of its size, the Emperor Rui Beast was still the Emperor Rui Beast, the embodiment of the Star Dou Great Forest's power of destiny. In any soul beast habitat where it existed, all soul beasts grew at twice the normal speed,
and the chance of a 100,000-year soul beast breaking through its bottleneck doubled. It was the treasure of all soul beasts in the entire forest. It possessed the dual ultimate attributes of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Light. Although its cultivation was only 15,000 years, it could contend with ordinary 100,000-year soul beasts.
Yuwen Tuo was also surprised that the Emperor Rui Beast would appear here. He wondered if she currently had Tang Wutong's divine consciousness implanted in her by Tang San.
Because of the Emperor Rui Beast, the three giant bears stopped fighting. After all, the food was all gone; what was the point of them continuing to fight? They couldn't possibly lay hands on the Emperor Rui Beast, could they?
The three bears departed in three different directions, disappointed. As Yuwen Tuo had expected, they were all solitary soul beasts and would not gather together unless necessary.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't be bothered with them, contentedly licking the food residue from the pot. She swore that in her tens of thousands of years of life, she had never tasted such delicious food. Unfortunately, the quantity was too small; she was truly left wanting more.
Bang
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the lake surface. Yuwen Tuo flew out from underwater and landed on the ground. Seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who looked surprised and stared at him blankly,
Yuwen Tuo smiled and said, "Oh, hello, Rui Beast. Seeing you eat so happily, I, as the chef, am also honored. If there's a chance in the future, I'll cook for you again, but I have urgent business now. See you!"
With that, Yuwen Tuo made several leaps, chasing after the two Blood Demon Mad Bears, specifically the one with the more severe injuries. It was a case of striking while the iron was hot. At this moment,
the injured Blood Demon Mad Bear's combat power was probably even inferior to an ordinary 10,000-year soul beast. If he didn't hunt it down now, when else?
Watching Yuwen Tuo's retreating figure, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally came to her senses. As a soul beast with extremely high intelligence, she immediately realized that the human who had just left was the chef who made those dishes.
