"Whoosh!"
A terrifying pressure descended.
It was over. Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she were stuck in a quagmire, her movements incredibly slow, her speed greatly reduced.
Undoubtedly, it was the golden eagle attacking her.
The breath of death was approaching!
Escape?
That was just a thought. Her keen intuition told her that no matter which direction she fled, death would be waiting for her.
For a moment,
anger, unwillingness, despair, and other emotions alternated across Zhu Zhuqing's face.
Farewell, my parents. You've ended my youth, and...
Dai Mubai, you coward!
She closed her eyes in immense pain, two crystal tears falling.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a streak of light streaked across the sky, the powerful force of the piercing air creating a blast of air that made Zhu Zhuqing's ears ring.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
"Cry!"
The golden eagle cried out, and she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart, a chill running down her spine.
Following the palpitation, she saw an arrow!
Following the arrow's direction, his sharp eyes swept across. There was a man and a red dog!
The man hadn't activated a single spirit ring, and not even a trace of spirit power emanated from his longbow.
In other words, was this an ordinary person?
How dare an ordinary person draw his bow and shoot an arrow at him?
Who gave him the courage? It was hilarious!
The golden eagle immediately felt a twinge of disdain and anger.
With a flap of its wings, its spirit power infused them, and a sudden, violent wind blew, threatening to blow the incoming arrow away.
With its seventy thousand years of cultivation, it could easily have blown away even a thousand-pound boulder, let alone a light arrow.
But then, the golden eagle froze.
The arrow, unbothered by the wind, continued its journey. Then, the golden eagle sensed danger.
Oh no!
That's no ordinary person!
Panicked, the golden eagle mobilized its spirit power to resist. But then, it discovered its spirit power and body were being restrained.
Even the surrounding space was being restrained.
An irresistible pressure descended.
Fear gripped
the eagle's mind! Its eyes widened. Could an ordinary human launch such an attack?
It had never seen anything like it in its entire life.
At that moment, the eagle began to doubt its very existence! Even facing Lord Crimson King, it hadn't felt so powerless!
Wait, Lord Crimson King!
Suddenly, the despairing eagle awoke, noticing a hint of amusement in the eyes of the neglected dog.
Were those eyes none other than Lord Crimson King?
Was he pretending to be a dog to eat the eagle?
"I'm not human, but you're a real dog!"
But the next moment, as it fell, the eagle's eyes widened.
It saw the human on the hillside excitedly slap Lord Crimson King's head.
How dare he?
He was the overlord of the spirit beasts!
"This world is crazy. This must be a hallucination, I'm dying,"
was the eagle's final thought.
"Dahei, go."
"Woof woof."
Upon receiving Lin Yan's command, Dahei exerted force on his hind legs and shot out like an arrow, dashing into the forest. A short while later, he returned.
Of course, he was dragging a golden eagle with him.
"Dahei, you're in for a treat this time! This golden bird is quite large and muscular, but the meat is a bit tough. It'll be very chewy, though, " Lin Yan commented on the golden eagle. Fortunately, the golden eagle's soul had dissipated, or else it would have certainly responded. "Mm- ...
That voice... belonged to a woman, and a pleasant one at that.
It was a voice with a lot of sugar content, at least four plus signs, so she must be a beauty!
Lin Yan slowly turned around, and upon seeing the girl before him, his mind drifted.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
Those Miss Hong Kong stars from his past life were just vulgar, nothing compared to her.
Even though she looked young, perhaps only fifteen or sixteen.
Little did she know, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened, her heart trembling.
She stared at Lin Yan, transfixed.
The young man before her was no more than eighteen or nineteen.
But
how could someone so handsome exist in the world?
Neatly short hair, clear eyes like luminous stars.
You couldn't pinpoint Lin Yan's looks, but you couldn't pinpoint their flaws either.
All in all, it could only be described in two words: perfect!
"I wonder why the girl called me?"
Lin Yan wondered.
"No, it's nothing."
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was a little flustered. She had seen it all before, the seventy-thousand-year-old golden eagle slain by this young man with a single arrow.
The large red-haired dog was dragging the corpse of a golden eagle, the best proof.
But to Zhu Zhuqing, such a powerful being seemed like an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person possibly kill a golden eagle?
Wait ,
this person wasn't ordinary.
Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, there had never been a seventeen or eighteen-year-old capable of killing a Soul Sage.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing felt a distinctly terrifying awareness sweep over her, bringing with it an oppressive feeling far greater than that of a golden eagle.
No, even ten golden eagles stacked together wouldn't be as terrifying.
Could it
be the dog before her?
Zhu Zhuqing stared in disbelief at the half-human-sized Red King.
Only after a mutual gaze did she realize it.
His icy gaze was like a black hole capable of swallowing a person.
"You may call me Red King. According to you humans, I am a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. The one beside you is my master. He's incredibly powerful, but he's experiencing life as an ordinary person. You must cooperate. Do you understand?"
"Ah, this..."
Zhu Zhuqing was startled, but immediately understood.
Having a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast as a pet—what a terrifying existence!
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's heart was filled with turmoil.
Then a hypothesis was born. The person before her might not be a human! But a terrifying soul beast with a terrifying cultivation level capable of transforming into a human.
But what level could that be?
Eight hundred thousand years?
Nine hundred thousand years?
Or even a million years!
This... is terrifying!
Huh? Why is this girl silent? Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's hesitation, her disheveled hair, and her pale face, Lin Yan immediately thought of a possibility.
Lost!
She must have been lost!
And judging by her disheveled appearance, the girl must have suffered a lot. She must be tired and hungry now!
It's just that girls are shy and embarrassed to ask for help!
"Haha, why don't you come to my house to rest first? I just hunted a big bird and I'll treat you to barbecue."
I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't.
Subconsciously, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to refuse.
However, after seeing Dahei's cold gaze, Zhu Zhuqing forced a rather bright smile. "Okay."
