"Di Tian, this is Shrek's trophy! Is the beast god going to break his promise?"
Xuanzi protected the stone bucket that had just fallen into his hands, fearing that the water from the Lake of Life in it would spill out.
Di Tian snorted coldly: "What promise did I break? The Lake of Life and the Silver Beast you wanted have been delivered, and your contract with the Red King has ended."
"I just suggest that you share a glass of water to express your apology. You don't have to accept the suggestion. As for the consequences, just think about it yourself. Maybe nothing will happen."
Xuanzi's face was ashen, but after some thought he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, as expected of a beast god, Shrek has seen that he can turn his back on people so quickly, so it doesn't matter if I agree."
Di Tian's voice sounded again: "So, boy, what do you think? The water of the Lake of Life is one of the most precious treasures in the world that can nourish vitality. If it weren't for the sake of your acceptable performance and the auspicious beast's pleading, I would definitely No chance to come into contact with this thing.”
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips lightly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
For a cup of water from the Lake of Life, promise to never hunt soul rings from the Star Dou Forest again?
This is not a big problem... If you calculate it carefully, although Shrek Academy is adjacent to the Star Dou Forest, a soul beast habitat with the richest soul beast resources, few of Huo Yuhao's eighteen soul rings came from the Star Dou Forest. acquired.
Ever since Electrolux created the soul system for Huo Yuhao, it has become much easier to compile the sources of skills. For example, for a powerful being like the Snow Emperor, one person can occupy several rings.
If you count, there are actually three soul rings that Huo Guai obtained from the Star Dou Forest: Zi Ling Ao, Yin Ying Beast, and the Emperor's Auspicious Beast who took the initiative to sacrifice.
Zi Ling Ao's skills... can only be said to be of little use to Huo Yuhao today, and the Silver Ying Beast, a soul beast that can explore many possibilities, is now available.
As for the Emperor's auspicious beast... Huo Yuhao didn't try to force a red line with her, and there was a high probability that he would not encounter the desperate situation of being surrounded and killed by multiple titled Douluo when he encountered the fifth ring. He thought that he would never encounter such a thing as a sacrifice again. , otherwise Ditian will definitely come to fight for his life when the time comes.
In other words, if we refer to the original work, the Star Dou Forest should no longer have much value in terms of soul rings. The missing soul rings can be made up from the sea soul beasts, the far north, and the mandarin duck pot of the Ice and Fire Eyes.
As long as you agree to never hunt soul rings from the Star Dou Forest again, you can exchange for a cup of water from the Lake of Life... It seems quite worth it, but psychologically it feels a bit weird.
The Lake of Life is one of the secrets used by the murderers in the Great Evil Land to heal and nourish themselves. Soul beasts that are not at the level of ferocious beasts can basically not even see what the Lake of Life looks like.
So... what weird things are there in the water quality of swimming pools and hot springs?
To put it more emotionally intelligent, we might call it “rich in tonic trace elements.”
Especially there is a fugitive from the God Realm, the Silver Dragon King, who has been soaking at the bottom of the lake for who knows how many years...
If you think more, you will think that not only Brigitte and Ditian, but also Mr. Xiong has dipped in the Lake of Life...
At least the Lake of Life is mainly nourished by the gold of living beings and is relatively naturally formed. It is much easier to accept it if you comfort yourself like this.
After all, strictly speaking, the water on the earth in Huo Yuhao's previous life basically came from more than four billion years ago. It is unknown how many water cycles it has gone through and how many creatures have been used to replenish water. Looking back, there is not a drop of water that has ever flowed through the ocean. It's clean, and I haven't seen anyone unable to drink the mineral water.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but recall Huo Gua from the legendary period of the God Realm. When he and Princess Tang visited the Goddess of Life for help, they finally drank the first cup of water of life twenty or thirty years after ascending to the God Realm, which was a great tonic even for the gods. And where does that water of life come from...
Anyway, the essence of the goddess of life is the ancient tree of life...
While Huo Yuhao's thoughts were drifting further and further, Di Tian urged him in a calm tone: "Boy, what do you really want? Even Xuanzi accepted my mediation. I hope you are a sensible human being."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, faced Zheng Zhan's expectant gaze, and said in a deep voice: "I couldn't ask for more, thank you to the Beast God for his kindness."
Don't think nonsense, don't think nonsense, isn't it the water of the Lake of Life? Just drink it. How many dying people will go crazy for it. Other human beings who want to drink it are not so blessed!
Look at this green color, how healthy it is!
When drinking, don’t think about Mr. Xiong or anything else, think more about the two-in-one body of the Silver Dragon King after its transformation...
Although Di Tian's body was invisible, Huo Yuhao, who was extremely mentally alert, noticed that there seemed to be a bit more "satisfaction" in the atmosphere.
"Xuanzi, put down the bucket of water in your hand. If it spills if you move it, it will be your loss."
Hearing Di Tian's urging, Xuanzi put down the stone bucket with a bit of anger in his eyes, and a deep sense of reluctance and reluctance in his eyes.
The next moment, an extremely broad leaf on the treetop was easily cut off by a soul power. As it floated down, it was convolved into a cup under the clever control of several soul powers.
With the support of soul power, the leaf cup first filled a cup of lake water under Xuanzi's distressed gaze, and then slowly fell into Huo Yuhao's hands.
Huo Yuhao looked at the glass of lake water with the breath of life hitting his face, and a refreshing breath of fresh air immediately poured into his mind through the tip of his nose. He felt that this trip was indeed worthwhile.
In the sea of spirit, the Snow Emperor also had a little envy in his eyes, and his fingers could not help but clasp lightly on his shoulders.
"Bing'er, it seems that the Star Dou Forest has become the number one soul beast's habitat thanks to the Lake of Life. It has such a rich breath of life. If you and I can often use the Lake of Life to nourish our origins, we might be able to get through it with confidence. The next disaster."
The Ice Emperor didn't say much, he just nodded and held the Snow Emperor's hand tightly.
In mid-air, Di Tian urged again:
"Xuanzi, you already have the Lake of Life you want, why don't you put down the Silver Ying Beast and leave quickly? Are you still waiting for something?"
"Ditian, I brought this kid here. Of course I have to wait for him to finish drinking and take him back to Shrek!"
Di Tian sneered: "Forget it, just based on your behavior of trying to blame this kid just now, I don't believe you care about him so much. Put down the Silver Ying Beast, and I will let him go when he has finished absorbing it." He returned to Shrek City safely."
Xuanzi took a deep look at Huo Yuhao and said coldly: "Boy, you are also a member of the human race after all, so you should take care of yourself."
After saying that, Xuanzi turned around and used his soul power to firmly protect the bucket of life lake water, turned it into a stream of light and flew quickly outside the Star Dou Forest. He would race against time to use it on Munn, and use his best efforts. Extend Moon's life.
Seeing Xuanzi walking so decisively, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel speechless. Even if you, the old man, don't like me, there's no need to run so fast like a baggage thrower, right?
Have you forgotten that if I do something wrong, Shrek will not be able to escape revenge?
As Xuanzi left, the world fell into a brief silence. Zheng Zhan, who was responsible for protecting Huo Yuhao's safety, became extremely nervous in the face of Di Tianna's gradually increasing pressure.
"It's enough for this kid to stay here. What are you doing here?"
Zheng Zhan cupped his fists and said, "Beast God, that Xuanzi and I are not on the same team. I am here specifically to protect Huo Yuhao's safety. His safety is related to national affairs. Please understand."
"Huh, what? Do you, like Xuanzi, not believe that I can protect his safety? Or do you think that if I want to take action against this kid, you can protect him?"
"Of course I can trust the Beast God's promise, but..."
"Nothing to worry about, just stay away."
The next moment, Zheng Zhan's vision fell into a brief darkness. When he regained his clarity, he found that he had moved hundreds of meters from his original position for some reason, and he could only vaguely see Huo Yuhao's blurry figure.
"Beast God, you... I have no grudges against you. The Sun and Moon Empire is also willing to have good relations with the Star Dou Forest and moved me here. What is your purpose?"
"I don't need to explain it to you, you just need to take a good look."
Zheng Zhan was completely suppressed by the coercion released by Di Tian. Every move he made became difficult and sluggish, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Di Tian didn't even take action personally. In a one-on-one situation, he allowed a ninth-level soul master to waste most of his physical strength. Even if he knew that Di Tian was the most powerful person in the world, the difference didn't matter. How is this possible when it's so big?
Although Zheng Zhan was completely unable to detect what Di Tian was communicating with Huo Yuhao at this time, the sight of Huo Yuhao's unharmed figure made him dare not act rashly for fear of endangering Huo Yuhao's safety.
"Okay, throw away the cup in your hand, it's pointless."
Di Tian's calm voice fell on Huo Yuhao's ears, making the latter feel a little dazed.
"No point? What do you mean?"
Di Tian did not answer directly, but a wooden cup floated from the end of his sight and slowly moved to Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Huo Yuhao's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly. From the same turquoise liquid contained in the wooden cup, he felt the breath of life that was many times more powerful than the life lake water in the leaf cup in his hand.
Although there seems to be almost no difference between the two, Huo Yuhao can be sure that their effects are absolutely different.
Huo Yuhao's lips trembled. At this moment, his mind was moving very fast. He stretched out a hand to take the wooden cup and said almost subconsciously:
"There was something wrong with the bucket that Mr. Xuan had just now... Is this the real Lake of Life?"
The three huge heads of the Red King shook their heads, and there was a faint look of dissatisfaction in his six eyes:
"How are you talking? Soul beasts are much more honest than you humans, and they must keep their word. Since I promised to give him a bucket of water from the Lake of Life, then what he takes away is naturally the real Lake of Life!"
"But what's going on... Could it be that what I'm holding is extracted and refined?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, it seems that humans are not very smart either."
The Red King set his sights on Huo Yuhao and said with a hint of pride:
"I also want to thank the human who reminded me just now. He said that even if you give him a bucket, as long as you add a little more water, the Lake of Life will still be the same Lake of Life."
"Since he personally admitted that the Lake of Life after watering it is still the Lake of Life, then obviously, if I add some water to the Lake of Life water given to him, he can't say that it is not the Lake of Life water, right?"
"I, the majestic Red King, will naturally do what I promise to the letter. But it is only limited to meeting the conditions of every word in the literal sense. Playing with language loopholes is not only your unique specialty. We humans. Soul beasts only keep their promises and are not foolish and stubborn."
Huo Yuhao murmured: "That makes sense. What you said does make sense."
I don't know what Elder Xuanzi would think if he knew that the bucket of Lake of Life water that he risked to exchange for offending Di Tian was diluted.
"So, that means the cup I just got is the authentic one?"
"Yes, since you accidentally protected the auspicious beast, I will treat it as a reward for you."
In the sea of spirit, Snow Emperor's blue eyes almost turned red.
"What a waste of natural resources, what a waste of natural resources! Bing'er, have you seen it? This is the real Lake of Life! That bastard Ditian, who occupies such a precious land and only cultivated so many ferocious beasts, is so incompetent!"
"If you and I were the masters of the Star Forest, relying on the Lake of Life and the Emperor's auspicious beasts, we could have done at least half as well as Di Tian! Di Tian is incompetent and has lost his power and humiliated the beasts. Damn it. It seems that I must come out. …”
The Ice Emperor quickly hugged the Snow Emperor: "Xue'er, calm down, calm down! You don't even have a body now, so you can't defeat Di Tian. If Yu Hao can successfully lay the foundation for becoming a god in the future, he can defeat the Emperor before ascending. God, I can let you take a bath alone in the Lake of Life..."
Huo Yuhao brought the Lake of Life water in the wooden cup to his eyes and smelled it with the tip of his nose.
It's okay, it actually has a refreshing and sweet feeling, without any odor.
But Huo Yuhao then frowned slightly and asked, "Can I ask a little more about how much the bucket of Lake of Life water that Elder Xuanzi got... was diluted?"
The Red King smiled strangely and did not answer directly. He just got a bathtub-sized amount of water from somewhere.
"Pour in your original glass."
Huo Yuhao did as he was told. After seeing what happened next, his breathing quickened slightly.
I saw that the turquoise lake of life spread to every corner of the entire basin of water at an extremely fast speed, but strangely, after being diluted by clear water hundreds of times its own volume, the color of the "lake water" has almost no color. Variety!
"The Lake of Life is a treasure land formed by the creation of heaven and earth and condensed with countless life essences across the entire continent. This is just an insignificant part of its mystery."
"I didn't go too far. At least Xuanzi's bucket of lake water did have a pretty good effect on refreshing my mind."
"Okay, now you can guess what proportion of the bucket of lake water Xuanzi took away is real lake water and ordinary stream water?"
Huo Yuhao held the wooden cup in his hand tightly to keep his balance, fearing that the lake of life water in the cup would spill out bit by bit.
"Red King, I have to admit that soul beasts do have some wisdom in taking advantage of loopholes. But aren't you worried that Shrek will find out that the life lake water they got is far less effective than the real lake water and come back with revenge?"
Huo Yuhao reminded and asked questions with a serious face, but the Red King didn't pay attention at all, and Di Tian, who never showed up, answered directly on his behalf.
"You may not know that Shrek and I, the Star Dou Forest, have an agreement. They can hunt an appropriate amount of soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest to meet their needs, but they are not allowed to enter the dangerous place."
"Since you are not allowed to enter the place of great danger, how can you know what the real Lake of Life looks like? No human being has ever been lucky enough to drink from the Lake of Life before. How can you know what is true and what is false without comparison? What's more? You can’t say that what Red King gave was not the Lake of Life, right?”
"As for human beings who may be dissatisfied with the effect of the Lake of Life and think it is exaggerated, it is naturally because they have spread lies about the effect of the Lake of Life. Why do they boast of it as something that no human has ever experienced before? I also very curious."
"We have relied on the Lake of Life to nourish our bodies for tens of thousands of years. How can humans, who only live for a few hundred years, understand the secrets of it by just taking a sip?"
Will hunting an appropriate amount of soul beasts satisfy his needs... Huo Yuhao thought again of the souls that Electrolux had been studying with his convenience of accessing the Sun and Moon Empire's information.
If the original soul system can still be successfully launched this time, even without any improvements, Huo Yuhao believes that it will be of great significance in alleviating human needs for soul beasts. It is impossible for Di Tian and the others to be interested in ferocious beasts. There is really a lot of room for collaboration.
As for liberating the demand for soul rings, will it lead to further human demand for soul bones and cause soul beasts to be hunted more seriously... Huo Yuhao doesn't want to worry about things that are so far away for the time being, and there is nothing he can do about things that he can't solve for the time being. , we must believe in the wisdom of future generations.
"Okay, kid, drink it. The effect of your cup of real stuff without water is far greater than that of Xuanzi's cup. Rui Beast is right, the Star Dou Forest must repay its kindness."
"It's not too late to absorb the soul ring from the Yin Ying Beast after you have completely absorbed the Lake of Life. With me here to protect you, there is nothing to worry about."
"Also, I am slightly interested in the soul guide you are talking about. If Xuanzi is not ashamed to ask for it at the cost of attracting auspicious beasts, it must be an important item in your human world. When you absorb the soul Huan, have a good talk with me, and by the way, tell me about the current situation of the human world."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh a little: "It doesn't matter if I just talk to you, but in fact Mr. Zheng knows much more about this than I do. In fact, it is more appropriate for you to ask him."
Ditian's body, which had not yet been revealed in Huo Yuhao's sight, slowly shook his head:
"I will naturally ask him, but after all, he has no causal involvement with our Star Dou Forest, so he may not answer it wholeheartedly."
"And you, this cup of lake water is gifted to you by this king. You probably don't think that you deserve it just because you inadvertently protected the auspicious beast. The water of the Lake of Life is not so cheap, so you should be able to carry it clearly. Here. This cup of yours is not only a reward for merit, but also an advance payment, and it is also a deliberate attempt by the king to make Xuanzi unhappy. I hope to see some qualities of honesty and gratitude in you, and don’t let me down."
Huo Yuhao brought the wooden cup to his lips and said with a smile, "In that case, I will thank Boss Ditian for the reward."
"Oh, don't think that I don't know this. This is a statement only made by human actors. There is no need for this. I don't care about it."
