"Hmm?"
Di Tian frowned. As the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, he naturally knew of the existence of Da Ming and Er Ming. However, because their potential was limited, he had never subdued them.
Instead, he left them here to act as guards.
He just didn't expect them to be so bold, daring to attack the guest invited by the Master right in front of him. They truly had a death wish.
Without the need for Li Qing to act, he flashed and stood in front of Er Ming.
"!"
Di Tian's seemingly ordinary punch landed on Er Ming, yet it was like a meteor falling from the sky, instantly sending him flying, straight into the lake, stirring up huge waves.
"Moo!"
Seeing this, Da Ming was enraged. Regardless of whether he could win or not, after a furious roar, lightning power flashed around him, and with a "Bang!"
Before Da Ming's Spirit Ability could be successfully released, Di Tian had already flashed to his head, and then a punch landed, also sending him crashing into the lake.
"Hiss!"
Looking at the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, who were gradually rising from the bottom of the water and floating on the surface, unconscious, Chen Xin and Gu Rong couldn't help but gasp.
Those were the two strongest kings on the surface of the Star Dou Great Forest, and they were knocked out by just two seemingly light punches?
Is this guy really that terrifying?
Not to mention Chen Xin and Gu Rong, even the Snow Empress and the other two were slightly startled, because even if they faced the two, they would definitely not be able to do it so easily.
Li Qing, however, smiled and said nothing.
Although Di Tian seemed to have only used two light punches to knock down Da Ming and Er Ming, those two punches were actually not simple. He had used at least seventy percent of his strength.
He was just pretending to be relaxed, wanting to achieve the effect of intimidating Li Qing and the others.
Li Qing did not bother with Da Ming and Er Ming floating on the water, but continued to follow Di Tian deeper. Everyone quickly arrived in front of an inconspicuous cliff wall under Di Tian's lead.
"Click, click—"
As Di Tian pressed down an inconspicuous stone, a series of mechanical sounds followed, and a door suddenly opened on the stone wall.
Everyone followed Di Tian inside.
Outside, everyone thought they had hollowed out the entire mountain to form a grotto space, but once they entered, they discovered that there was a completely different world inside.
Green mountains, clear waters, blue skies, and white clouds—this was not a grotto space at all, but clearly a blessed land. It wasn't until everyone looked back and found that they could clearly see every plant and tree outside that they understood.
It turned out that the mountain they saw from the outside was just a disguise.
This internal world was a territory isolated by a special spirit tool or array, no different from the outside world, except that it could not be seen from the outside.
Chen Xin looked at Li Qing and asked, "Is this the treasure basin you mentioned?"
"Cough, cough—"
Li Qing smiled awkwardly, "The treasure basin indeed refers to this place, but there are no heavenly materials and earthly treasures. I made that up to trick Spirit Hall into coming here to die."
"Uh—"
Chen Xin was speechless for a moment. This rogue, I really am impressed.
Fortunately, Li Qing still had a conscience and marked "Guarded by powerful Spirit Beasts, proceed with caution" after the treasure basin, otherwise who knows how many people would have fallen here.
But it doesn't seem like a big problem.
After all, this place is so secretive that even if one deliberately searched, they might not find it. Searching the entire Star Dou Great Forest, they would probably only find those two Spirit Beasts guarding the outside.
"Di Tian, what are you doing? Who allowed you to bring humans in?"
As the two exchanged words, an Amethyst Dreadclaw Bear, over fifteen meters tall, walked over. He made no attempt to conceal his aura, looking eager for a fight.
Behind him, the Myriad Demon King, the Crimson King, Bi Ji, and other fierce beasts also arrived.
Seeing them, Chen Xin and Gu Rong couldn't help but be shocked. They had truly opened their eyes today. Normally, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast was rarely seen.
Yet here, there were so many, and each one was incomparable to those two minor characters outside.
An Amethyst Dreadclaw Bear at the fifty to sixty thousand-year level could rival a typical hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, and here there was one whose aura was even more terrifying than the Snow Empress and the others.
One must know that the Snow Empress was a fierce beast of over five hundred thousand years.
Although Chen Xin and the other did not know the types of the other Spirit Beasts, it was not difficult to judge from their auras that their strength must have reached an incredible level.
At least for the two of them, that was the case.
The Snow Empress and the other two were also slightly startled. They had heard Li Qing say before that the Star Dou Great Forest hid a bunch of fierce beasts, and today they finally saw them.
Especially that Amethyst Dreadclaw Bear, who brought them pressure not much less than Di Tian.
Li Qing's gaze involuntarily fell on Xiong Jun's dreadclaws.
Throughout the entire Douluo series of novels, when it comes to Spirit Bones, the Amethyst Dreadclaw Bear's dreadclaw external Spirit Bone dares to claim second, and probably no other dares to claim first.
At least in Li Qing's mind, the dreadclaw external Spirit Bone was number one.
"Are you itching for a beating again?"
Di Tian looked coldly at Xiong Jun. This guy gave him a huge headache, because this fellow was extremely stubborn. No matter how much he was beaten, he wouldn't submit. Even if he submitted at the time, he would still cause trouble afterwards.
"Heh heh!" Xiong Jun sneered, "Are you afraid of me?"
Li Qing smiled, "It's boring to fight him. Why don't you fight me? If you lose, give me your dreadclaws. I guarantee you'll still live after I remove them."
Xiong Jun: "???"
The Crimson King and the other beasts also looked at Li Qing in shock, asking for Xiong Jun's dreadclaws right away. This human was too brave, did he really not know how to write the word 'death'?
"Human, are you looking for death?"
"Xiong Jun!"
Before Li Qing could speak, Di Tian interrupted, "This is a guest invited by the Master. Do not be rude."
Xiong Jun: "???"
No, buddy, do you want to hear what you're saying? What status is the Master, what status is he? How could the Master invite a human—
Alright, Di Tian probably wouldn't dare to joke about the Master.
Xiong Jun sized Li Qing up and down, as if trying to see how capable this guy was to be treated as a guest by the Master.
Di Tian looked at Li Qing: "The Master only invited you. They will wait here. Please!"
"You all wait for me here."
Li Qing instructed Chen Xin and the others, then followed Di Tian and left.
Xiong Jun and the other beasts' gazes swept over Chen Xin and the others one by one, making Chen Xin and Gu Rong feel immense pressure, while the Snow Empress and the other two didn't have much reaction.
Xiong Jun asked arrogantly, "You, humans, how can fierce beasts like you mix with humans?"
The Ice Empress said coldly, "None of your business."
"Oh, you little girl, you're quite feisty. Don't think that just because you're a female, I wouldn't dare to hit you. In my Xiong Jun's eyes, there's no distinction between male and female."
Xiong Jun stared fiercely at the Ice Empress.
The Titan Snow Demon King sneered, "Come on, come on, try touching one of us. Even that Di Tian didn't dare to show his teeth in front of our boss just now. What are you?"
