NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 14: 3 Eyed Golden Lion
Ling Chang'e held the dagger and walked directly towards the soul beast. Her short legs were very slow in their eyes, but they couldn't move.
It couldn't use any innate abilities and only stared at Ling Chang'e. Its third eye stood upright, and its vertical pupil emitted a red light. Its resentful look fell clearly into Ling Chang'e's eyes.
Ling Chang'e looked at it silently and did not take any action. It was not because she was timid, but because she couldn't bear it.
In her previous life, she had never even killed a chicken. After traveling to the Douluo Continent, she has to kill a living soul beast, which is hard for her.
Ling Chang'e's hesitation flashed away, and she walked towards the soul beast with the dagger in hand.
The soul beast let out a mournful cry, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest suddenly began to shake.
Ling Chang'e frowned slightly, wondering if this strange soul beast could be the imperial auspicious beast Three-eyed Golden Lion mentioned in the second part of Douluo Dalu!
If this is true, then she has made a profit.
The greatest function of the imperial auspicious beast, the Three-eyed Golden Lion, is to speed up the growth of all soul beasts.
Judging from the appearance of this imperial beast, it must have been born not long ago. Ling Chang'e gritted her teeth and decided to kill it.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she won't turn it down.
Besides, it's better to take it for yourself than to let it become someone else's spirit ring. Right.
The sharp dagger could not cut through the dense golden scales of the three-eyed golden lion. Its four claws kept moving, heading towards Ling Chang'e.
Ling Chang'e tightly grasped the dagger, her body trembling. She used to be someone who didn't dare kill a chicken, but now, to become stronger, she even took up a weapon to kill the soul beast in front of her.
Even though she guessed the identity of the soul beast in front of her, Ling Chang'e did not give up her idea.
The scales protecting the body of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were very thick, and her strength made it impossible for the dagger to penetrate its scales, but Ling Chang'e began to close her eyes and increase her strength to kill it with one blow.
The three-eyed golden lion began to fight back, and its red vertical pupils emitted light.
Ling Chang'e's arm was severely scratched by it, and bright red blood flowed down. Her face turned pale, but she still silently increased the strength of the dagger and let it go to its heart.
If you miss it, you will never have this chance again.
"What!"
A sharp scream was heard, and the dagger pierced directly through its chest. A pair of short hands slid along the wound to its heart, and its obsidian eyes flashed with coldness.
The next moment, its heart was crushed.
The imperial auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion, could not fight back without a guardian.
Golden blood flowed rapidly down its chest.
A yellow soul ring floated in Ling Chang'e's hand. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the soul ring with its eyes wide open.
This three-eyed golden lion never thought that a hunting trip would cost it its' life.
Ling Chang'e did not need any guidance from others, and immediately used her soul power to guide the soul ring according to her instinct.
There was a green light floating on her body, and her aura became disordered.
Guangling Douluo, Qingluan Douluo, and Xiongshi Douluo silently protected her.
They didn't know the race of this soul beast, but they could feel that it was extraordinary. Absorbing the soul ring of this soul beast for her is a good thing for Ling Chang'e.
Ling Chang'e closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and began to absorb the soul ring.
The next moment, she came to her spiritual world and saw the three-eyed golden lion in the spiritual world.
Ling Chang'e was a little dazed, but soon calmed down.
Its pair of blood-red vertical pupils stared at her, and a cold feeling permeated behind her. Ling Chang'e chose to ignore this feeling and looked at it calmly.
The next moment, its lips moved, and the tender voice of a child fell clearly into Ling Chang'e's ears, "Perhaps, this is my calamity."
"I am the auspicious beast of the emperor - the three-eyed golden lion."
"Human."
Hearing its sharp and childish voice, Ling Chang'e did not respond.
After confirming his guess, Ling Chang'e felt a little annoyed.
If this three-eyed golden lion is the future Wang Qiuer, then she has indirectly destroyed the plot of Douluo Continent and directly caused Huo Yuhao's soul ring to disappear.
Ling Chang'e paused and said slowly: "Of course, your calamity now is me."
If it is Wang Qiuer, then it will become Huo Yuhao's soul ring after more than 10,000 years. The blood-red vertical pupils of the three-eyed golden lion shone on Ling Chang'e's figure. What surprised Ling Chang'e was that there was no hatred in its eyes.
Logically speaking, a soul beast that died at the hands of humans would feel resentment towards humans, but this three-eyed golden lion looked at her with calm eyes.
This made Ling Chang'e have doubts.
"I don't know what you are thinking, but I can sense an extremely terrifying aura from you. I can't use my powers on you."
Ling Chang'e didn't say anything. It would be better to remain silent than to say too much.
The three-eyed golden lion teleported to Ling Chang'e's side, and suddenly its claws touched her short little hand.
"To die is to follow the will of heaven, this is my destiny."
The three-eyed golden lion spoke slowly, with complex emotions in its blood-red vertical pupils.
"I was born under fate and will face a catastrophe. This catastrophe is caused by fate and I cannot blame others."
"I would like to be your spirit ring."
Before Ling Chang'e could react, the figure of the three-eyed golden lion disappeared before her eyes.
Ling Changg'e was stunned. She had already prepared to kill the Three-Eyed Golden Lion again in the spiritual world, but she did not expect that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would accept her death so calmly.
Ling Chang'e didn't believe in the so-called fate. But the people of Douluo Continent firmly believe in fate.
Ling Chang'e sighed in her heart, and when the three-eyed golden lion calmly chose to die, she stopped moving. Ling Chang'e had not thought about the thoughts of this three-eyed golden lion.
The three-eyed golden lion's mind is no weaker than that of humans. Ling Chang'e sat cross-legged in the spiritual space and began to absorb the power left by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
A red soul ring floated in her hand.
The hundred-year-old three-eyed golden lion must have been born not long ago, judging by its racial characteristics, otherwise, it would have long been protected by Emperor Tian, the strongest soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Therefore, it can be considered a kind of luck for Ling Chang'e to find this three-eyed golden lion before Di Tian and make it into a soul ring. What Ling Chang'e found strange was that the color of this soul ring was red.
According to the soul ring setting of the Douluo Continent, the red soul ring was the highest-level soul ring color in the Douluo Continent before Tang San became a god.
The million-year soul ring after becoming a god was not included in Ling Chang'e's calculations.
When she saw this soul ring, Ling Chang'e subconsciously reached out to touch it. The soul ring changed color again, and the yellow soul ring lay straight in the palm of her hand.
"…"
After all this trouble, it turns out that the soul ring changes color and it is not a real hundred thousand-year soul ring.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was born not long ago, but it can reach the age of a hundred years because it uses its abilities to accelerate its cultivation.
