Chapter 204 The Imperial Beast and Its Nanny.
The "little sun" stopped not far in front of Zhang Lexuan, allowing her to see its appearance clearly.
She had never seen such a spirit beast before; it was three meters long and its entire body was covered with a layer of golden fur.
Its overall appearance is somewhat like a lion, but its four claws are like a dragon's, with a ball of golden flame under each claw.
Furthermore, upon closer inspection, one can discover a layer of fine scales beneath the hair.
Most notably, it has a third eye on its forehead, which is a vertical pupil.
Although it didn't exude any powerful aura, just by looking at its appearance, Zhang Lexuan knew that this unfamiliar soul beast was definitely not simple.
"Humans, you killed it?"
A clear, melodious female voice came from the mouth of the soul beast, and Zhang Lexuan's expression changed drastically!
Generally speaking, only soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old can speak human language.
Two figures flew in from behind and appeared in front of Zhang Lexuan, who finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cai Meier and Ma Sheng exuded the aura of Title Douluo level, their eyes warily fixed on the soul beast before them.
They never expected to encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast in this mixed zone.
However, according to their observation, the aura emanating from this "little lion" did not seem to be that of 100,000 years.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Just then, three roars came from afar, and a dark red figure arrived fiercely, blocking the "little lion's" path.
This spirit beast is over five meters long, with an extremely robust body. It looks like a lion, but its fur is dark red, and it has three heads.
Each head was topped with a fierce "dog head," baring its canine teeth and radiating a crimson-gold light.
Under its terrifying aura, all the spirit beasts within a ten-mile radius prostrated themselves, daring not to offend its ferocity.
Cai Meier and Ma Sheng's expressions grew even more serious. Just from the aura alone, they knew they were no match for this 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Ma Sheng cursed inwardly, thinking that Shrek Academy must have some kind of bad luck, otherwise how could they have encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast so easily!
He has lived for over 150 years, and has only seen a handful of 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast is no less intelligent than a human, and can communicate with others.
Ma Sheng is now considering whether to take out the four fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells to scare the other side.
Cai Meier, however, tentatively asked, "Are you the Crimson King, one of the Ten Great Fiends?"
The three large heads of the Crimson Star Beast slightly raised and said in unison, "That's right, you two humans are quite strong, and you even recognize me."
This spirit beast is the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, ranked eighth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, and is known as the Crimson King.
Its duty is to closely protect the little darling in the Star Dou Great Forest—the Emperor Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
In a way, the Red King is like a full-time bodyguard and nanny.
The "little lion" behind it at this moment is naturally the imperial auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
In fact, Kong Xuan recognized its identity as soon as it came running towards him.
Kong Xuan was also somewhat surprised, not expecting to encounter it by such a coincidence.
However, Kong Xuan remained silent and did not step forward.
Seeing that the Crimson King seemed to be open to communication, Cai Meier quickly said, "We are from Shrek Academy. Could you please let us leave?"
Upon hearing the words "Shrek Academy," Red King Liu's eyes visibly flickered slightly.
Although it had the advantage in strength, it couldn't stop these two titled Douluo from escaping if they wanted to.
Therefore, it didn't really want to clash with the Shrek Academy students, after all, the academy was quite powerful.
We've fought each other before, so we know each other very well.
However, the Crimson King did not give a direct reply, but instead turned to look at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion behind him.
The three-eyed golden lion looked pitiful, its voice tinged with grievance: "They killed the little snake, and I haven't had enough fun yet!"
The little princess had been wronged, and the Red King naturally wouldn't let it go so easily.
It immediately revealed a fierce expression: "This matter cannot be left like this!"
Upon hearing this, both Cai Meier and Ma Sheng felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that things might not end well today!
Kong Xuan, who was behind, transmitted his voice to Gu Yuena: "If you don't go out soon, a fight might really break out."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena took two steps forward. Although she did not reach the very front, she had already come into the Red King's sight.
The fierce expression on its three large faces visibly stiffened. Its attention had been focused on the two titled Douluo, but it hadn't noticed that there was another "grandmother" behind them.
After a moment of stunned silence, the Crimson King's six perked ears drooped instantly, and he nervously began to speak: "Master..."
But it only managed to utter one word before Gu Yuena glared at it and interrupted, "Uncle Red King, long time no see!"
Upon hearing this, everyone and beasts present, except for Kong Xuan, were stunned.
Clearly, none of them expected that Gu Yuena would call the Crimson King "uncle".
A human calling a ferocious beast "uncle"? That's unheard of!
Even the Red King himself was stunned by Gu Yuena calling him "uncle".
It ranks low among the ten ferocious beasts and is not even considered part of the decision-making body in the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest; it can only be responsible for "looking after the children."
In its heart, the Silver Dragon King was the supreme being, yet at this moment it called him uncle!
Just as he was feeling a mix of emotions, he suddenly remembered that the Lord's incarnation was now in human form. Hadn't the "Lord" he was about to call out almost ruined everything?
Fortunately, the master reacted quickly, which prevented it from becoming a major mistake.
Although its heart was pounding, it forced itself to calm down and looked at Gu Yuena, saying, "Hmm! It's little... little Yuena, long time no see!"
After saying this, it fixed all six of its eyes on Gu Yuena, and only breathed a sigh of relief when it saw the smile on her face.
Ma Sheng and Cai Meier turned their heads and looked at Gu Yuena, who had walked up to them, their eyes full of questions.
Meeting the two people's questioning gazes, Gu Yuena explained simply: "The elders in my clan have a very good relationship with the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest. They took me into the core circle when I was a child, so I met Uncle Red King."
The Crimson King echoed, "That's right, I have a very good relationship with Xiaoyuena's father, hahaha!"
The three-eyed golden lion behind the Crimson King blinked its golden eyes. Although it was the little princess of the core circle, it had never seen the legendary master because it was not strong enough.
Therefore, it naturally did not know Gu Yuena's true identity, and only felt that the Red King's behavior at this moment was very strange.
Listening to the conversation between Gu Yuena and the Crimson King, Ma Sheng looked as if he had just realized something and said to Cai Meier, "Gu Yuena comes from a reclusive family with many Super Douluo in her family. I just didn't expect that she would have such a relationship with the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
His tone was half emotion and half joy.
What is truly impressive is the power of the Gu Yuena family, while the joy stems from the fact that, thanks to Gu Yuena, this crisis seems to have been averted.
