Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 31 Three-Eyed Golden Raider
Tang Ya's eyes narrowed, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Another three-eyed soul beast!? What's going on? Is it fashionable for ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to have eyes these days?"

Hearing this joke, Huo Yuhao couldn't laugh at all. The more he looked at the strange appearance of the soul beast, the more alarmed he became!

Holy crap! No way!?
With its slender body, beastly form, dragon claws, golden fur all over its body, and a third eye on its head, isn't this the legendary imperial auspicious beast?!
In his mind, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice suddenly became shrill, filled with panic and fear: "Three-Eyed Golden Lion! How could the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest have come to the outer area alone? Did it discover my presence just now? Yuhao, whatever you do, don't make a move! If we fight this thing, we'll never get out of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Huo Yuhao knew perfectly well why Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said that. If he really provoked this guy, he would definitely be ganged up on. He had hundreds of thousands of years of powerful figures as his backers. How could he possibly compete with that?
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Huo Yuhao's forehead, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Xiaoya, Beibei, whatever you do, don't do anything! We can't afford to mess with this thing!"

Sensing the cultivation level of this soul beast, Tang Ya and Bei Bei dared not make any rash moves, even without Huo Yuhao's prompting.

What a joke! With their cultivation at the third ring level, how could they possibly fight a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that resembles a lion or tiger? It's practically suicide.
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned cold, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze remaining.

"Well, the weather is really nice today! What a coincidence, beautiful soul beast, you're out for a walk too?" Huo Yuhao stammered for a while before breaking the silence with a dry laugh.

Beibei: "."

Tang Ya: "."

The Imperial Beast was taken aback by Huo Yuhao's words. It looked him up and down, then asked curiously, "Human? Interesting. How did you know I'm a woman?"

Upon hearing that clear and melodious voice, Tang Ya was taken aback and blurted out, "You can talk?"

The three-eyed golden lion glanced at Tang Ya, then at Bei Bei's wary expression, before turning its gaze back to Huo Yuhao: "Human, what's your name?"

"Um, my name is Huo Yuhao." Huo Yuhao looked into the three-eyed golden lion's bright golden eyes and replied subconsciously.

Then, his gaze involuntarily shifted to its head, and the instant his eyes met those golden-red vertical eyes, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shudder, a strange sense of familiarity and intimacy quietly growing within him.

At the same time, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly felt a similar sensation, and its body trembled. It was indeed the power of destiny!
And this aura... it's kind of similar to that person's scent.
A strange light gleamed in the eyes of the three-eyed golden lion as it stared intently at the "small" human boy in front of it, its mind a jumble of thoughts.

"That human girl is your partner? You're here to hunt soul beasts?" After a moment, the three-eyed golden lion glanced at Tang Ya out of the corner of its eye and said calmly.

Upon hearing its question, Huo Yuhao and the other two felt their hair stand on end and their hearts leap into their throats!
The soul beasts of Star Dou Great Forest hate humans so much that it's like an old enemy. This beast could tell with just a glance that Tang Ya's soul power was at the bottleneck of level 30. With its wisdom that allowed it to speak after only a little over ten thousand years, how could it not know why they came to Star Dou Great Forest at this time?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's tone remained unchanged as it calmly looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "With her strength, her third spirit ring can't be more than 1500 years old. What kind of spirit beast are you looking for?"

Seeing that the three-eyed golden lion didn't seem to intend to attack, Huo Yuhao felt slightly relieved. He turned to look at Tang Ya and honestly said, "Mandala snake."

This is Tang Ya's primary target this time, because a thousand years ago, when Tang San, the Sea God, was in his early stages, his Blue Silver Emperor spirit ring contained a Mandragora Snake.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained silent, instead staring intently at him with its three eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion fell silent, the scene quieted down once more, and a tense atmosphere instantly enveloped the three of them. "Is it going to make a move? Why am I so unlucky to run into this guy? With my current strength, even with all that equipment and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, I still can't complete this adventure quest!" Huo Yuhao lamented inwardly, his mind racing with thoughts.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and its clear voice rang out again: "Thirty miles east of here, there should be a 1200-year-old Mandragora Serpent. After obtaining the soul ring, you should leave. You should also know that the Star Dou Great Forest does not welcome any humans."

After saying that, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, then gave Bei Bei and Tang Ya a warning look before turning around and leaving, disappearing into the dense forest.

Huo Yuhao and the other two were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other in disbelief. They were leaving already?
Are highly intelligent soul beasts really this friendly?

Tang Ya shuddered, looked at Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, and said with lingering fear, "When did the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest become so dangerous? Do ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts like to come out for a stroll when they have nothing better to do?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. Now that an imperial auspicious beast had appeared, no one would doubt what he had just said.
Beibei finally came to her senses, her expression shifting between light and dark. She said, "It just said there's a Mandragora Serpent in the east. With its strength, there's no reason for it to lie to us. Now that Yuhao has reached the Soul Master realm, the three of us working together should have no problem dealing with a thousand-year-old Mandragora Serpent."

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement, saying with lingering fear, "Let's hurry up and get Xiaoya a spirit ring as soon as possible so we can get out of the Star Dou Great Forest. This place is too eerie!"

"Yuhao! Force it back!"

"Alright! Second Soul Skill: Frost Armor!"

"boom--"

Huo Yuhao let out a low shout, his cold, vertical pupils filled with chilling intent. He clenched his right fist and struck the rear half of the purplish-black snake that was shooting towards him. In an instant, a chilling aura spread out, and the temperature plummeted!

The datura snake hissed in pain, and a layer of frost covered the back half of its body, with tiny arcs of electricity flashing on it. Its entire body seemed to stiffen suddenly, and it was sent flying backward by the force of the blow.

"The second soul skill: Thunder!"

"Fuck-"

The blue current instantly spread out, forming a dazzling electric net. The purplish-black snake, which had been flying back, had not yet been able to get rid of the negative effects on its body before it plunged headfirst into it!
"Xiaoya!"

"Hey! Here it comes!" Tang Ya's eyes lit up as she looked at the controlled datura snake.

The most troublesome thing about the Mandragora Snake is its speed and poison. Huo Yuhao's first two soul skills, Thunder Dragon Possession and Frost Armor, are all-round amplification skills that combine offense and defense. Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul has a built-in lightning effect. With this layer of lightning protection, unless he is directly bitten by the Mandragora Snake, its poison will not have much effect.
