**Chapter 12: Three-Eyed Golden Lion: Fellow Creature, Here I Come!**
As a treasure in the palms of the ferocious beasts, she could move around anywhere in the Star Dou Great Forest. She wore scales around her neck that could shield her breath, as well as a sensing device from the Beast God Di Tian.
If her heart rate rose slightly due to nervousness or fear, then...
You would face the Red King's three-headed red demon mastiff coming with an anger buff.
If the three-headed red demon mastiff can't do anything to you, then you must be prepared to face the furious Beast God Di Tian and the Dragon God Claw that breaks through the air.
"The breath of destiny; he might be my kind."
Her originally doubtful eyes were gradually replaced by a hint of novelty, and she took a step with her claws wrapped in golden flames and headed toward the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
At this time, Bei Bei roughly understood Huo Yuhao's new soul skill.
Beibei seemed to be thinking about something, but judging from Huo Yuhao's appearance, he must be very sensible. His hair was the same blue as his—only his was a light aqua blue while his was dark blue. He believed he would definitely be a person of good character like him in the future.
"Brother Huo, your soul skill is very good, but you must use it correctly."
Oh? Didn't the original book have Huo Gua helping him with the shared off-site mental detection?
Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement. "Well, I will make good use of this soul skill. Let's continue to go deeper. Maybe we can meet a suitable soul beast."
The few of them continued forward. Soon, the road disappeared; dense forests surrounded them, and a faint, heavy breath emanated from the darkness.
Suddenly, a rustling sound echoed from the jungle ahead, like the friction of leaves, along with a hint of blood in the air.
Beibei immediately became alert: "Be careful; there is movement ahead."
At the same time, three options appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
—
[Option 1: Walk fifty meters to the left, and you will encounter a thousand-year-old Mandragora snake. Defeat it. Completion reward: one Qi-boosting pill.]
[Option 2: Go straight ahead 10,000 meters, and you will encounter the three-eyed golden lion. Please live to see tomorrow's sun. Completion reward: Fire-type skills - low-level earth grade (from Yao Lao's ring).]
[Option 3: After defeating the Mandragora snake, you will encounter the three-eyed golden lion. Completion reward: Beast Flame - Purple Beast Flame.]
—
Hmm? Why is there still the Three-Eyed Golden Lion? Is it because the new soul skills are somewhat different from the original that she was able to sense its presence?
Huo Yuhao glanced at the three options and ruled out Option 1 first. He then quickly analyzed the rewards for Options 2 and 3.
The low-level earth-grade fire-based skills are of extremely high rank in this plane.
But he already has the Flame Mantra, so he won't consider other techniques for the time being.
Option 3 is relatively difficult, but the reward is tempting: purple beast flame.
Getting the Purple Beast Flame is a significant step toward the goal of "making the first edition of Angry Buddha Lotus Flame."
Huo Yuhao finally chose Option 3 and decided to give it a try. Maybe because of some bond or fate, he would meet the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and survive.
"Xiaoya, Yuhao, be careful; the aura of this soul beast has reached the thousand-year level," Beibei reminded and quickly released his martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—rose from under Beibei's feet. Dazzling blue light instantly spread from between his eyebrows. Blue-purple electric currents burst out like little snakes, swimming around his body.
With the possession of the martial soul, Beibei's right arm grew more than half a foot longer. The whole arm became extremely thick and was covered with blue-purple scales. His hand also transformed into a rudimentary dragon claw.
The next moment, a dark shadow jumped out of the woods, revealing the culprit of the previous rustling sound.
It was a snake-like soul beast, the Mandragora Snake.
"Wow, a thousand-year-old Mandragora Snake! That's great! Beibei, this is what I want," Tang Ya exclaimed, delighted.
The "Theoretical Summary of Experience in Configuring Blue Silver Grass Soul Rings," passed down from generation to generation in the Tang Sect, was written by an unprofessional master.
Tang Ya was already very familiar with this. According to records, the Millennium Mandragora Snake was undoubtedly one of the most suitable soul rings for her.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, contemplating. "Sister Tang Ya, Blue Silver Grass has such strong adaptability that it can even grow on barren land. Does it mean that the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has a very high potential for improvement in the field of vitality?"
Tang Ya obviously didn't grasp what Huo Yuhao meant and replied with a smile, "Yes, Blue Silver Grass is very tenacious. Sometimes I can see Blue Silver Grass in the cracks of bricks on the wall!"
Huo Yuhao blinked. "Then Sister Tang Ya, have you ever thought about giving the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul a soul ring that absorbs life attributes to enhance its vitality?"
"Huh? I really haven't thought about this. The main reason is that the Tang Sect has always maintained the same soul ring configuration for generations."
Tang Ya was stunned. As the contemporary leader of the Tang Sect, she generally would not be swayed by theories passed down by the Tang Sect masters because of outsiders.
But Huo Yuhao was not an ordinary outsider. He also had the ambition to establish a sect, sharing the same vision.
So Tang Ya started to seriously consider what Huo Yuhao had just said.
"I already have two soul rings, and my soul skills are Blue Silver Entanglement and Parasitism."
If what Huo Yuhao said is true and she takes the pure vitality route, the parasitic skill will not have a particularly large impact on it; it's just the Blue Silver Entanglement...
"Sister Xiaoya, you can take my words as a reference; it ultimately depends on you," Huo Yuhao added, saying nothing more, feeling this was all he could do to help.
"First soul skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Beibei was fighting the Mandragora Snake when strong soul power surged from his right hand. The blue-purple lightning quickly condensed into a Thunder Dragon Claw that slapped the Mandragora Snake.
The Mandragora Snake was very cunning; it caught the tail and suddenly jumped into the air. Its long tail twitched in the air like a pink light, instantly sweeping toward Beibei.
Huo Yuhao interrupted Tang Ya, who was deep in thought: "Let's help Brother Beibei get rid of the Mandragora Snake first."
"Oh, okay." Tang Ya suppressed her thoughts and joined the battle.
"Blue and silver entanglement, parasitism!"
Tang Ya activated her two yellow soul rings one by one.
A cluster of blue silver grass emerged from beneath the Mandragora Snake without warning, suddenly blooming and transforming into dozens of blue silver grasses. They quickly twirled around the Mandragora Snake, tightly trapping it and beginning to exert their parasitic effect.
Beibei seized the opportunity and used his strongest third soul skill, Thunderous Fury, which increased his attack by 50% and amplified the lightning attribute of the Thunder Dragon Claw.
As the battle intensified, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's extremely sad voice suddenly rang in Huo Yuhao's mind: "It's over, Yuhao!"
"Is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion coming?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was surprised at how Huo Yuhao knew this but was filled with dejection and sadness, unable to speak further.
In the dense jungle, thousands of meters away, a strange soul beast that resembled a lion with four claws like a dragon, golden hair covering its body, and surrounded by golden flames, approached.
It was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion running toward him.
"My fellows, wait for me! I'm coming!"
