Chapter 218 Auspicious Beast: This is the Instruction of Fate
"Yuhao!"
Wang Dong tugged at Huo Yuhao's sleeve, his anxiety written in his brows, in his eyes, and on his slightly trembling lips.
Xuanzi also looked at Huo Yuhao, his earthy yellow eyes filled with guilt.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
I never expected that this time, when I came out with them, I would encounter such a crisis again.
Moreover, he still has no solution at all, and he actually wants Huo Yuhao, a student, to "sacrifice" himself in exchange for a chance to live.
Xuanzi took a deep breath, his gaze hardening: "Yuhao, there's no need for this. If you're going to die, then so be it."
At worst, he would risk his life and fight Di Tian.
Even in death, one should die with dignity.
Huo Yuhao guessed what Xuanzi was thinking, but he really didn't want to sacrifice himself.
His expression remained calm, showing neither fear nor tragedy.
Although Huo Yuhao had never met Di Tian, he had heard Aunt Leng tell stories about soul beasts ten thousand years later.
Ten thousand years later, the Star Dou Great Forest almost disappeared. Although it was said that the advancement of human soul guidance technology had overwhelmed the soul beasts in terms of strength, the soul beasts also trusted humans too much.
The Spirit Pagoda was originally established with good intentions, but later generations gradually changed their minds, and the ferocious beasts that were originally partners were kicked out.
In Leng Yaozhu's words, sometimes soul beasts are more trustworthy than humans.
Huo Yuhao looked at the three of them and said calmly, "Elder Xuan, Dean, Wang Dong, don't worry, Senior Di Tian has promised that he won't harm my life."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao looked at Di Tian and smiled, "I think Senior Di Tian, as the leader of the soul beast race, should not go back on his word."
Di Tian looked at Huo Yuhao, and he really couldn't understand where this boy got the courage to still be so playful in front of him.
However, he didn't want to actually kill Xuanzi here and make an enemy of Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy has a long and rich history; if things really fall apart, it won't benefit anyone.
Therefore, he snorted and said, "My promise is naturally valid."
Xuanzi and Xianlin'er both recalled the records in the academy about the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although the ferocious beasts are soul beasts, they seem to have never broken any of their promises.
Especially Di Tian, as the Beast God and the leader of the Soul Beast race, his words and actions are enough to represent all the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
This powerful and proud being should indeed not break his promise.
Xuanzi was still hesitant, his brows furrowed. He was really worried about letting a student face the Beast God.
If something goes wrong, how will he explain it to the academy? How will he explain it to Elder Mu?
At this moment, Xianlin'er stepped forward.
"Senior Di Tian, we hope you will keep your promise, otherwise Shrek Academy will definitely demand an explanation."
Xian Lin'er also transmitted her voice to Xuan Zi and Wang Dong, saying, "This seems to be the best solution now. Although Di Tian is a soul beast, since he said he wouldn't harm Yu Hao, he should be trusted."
Xuanzi nodded; this was the only way at the moment.
But Wang Dong was still hesitant; she bit her lip, her eyes filled with struggle.
She didn't want Huo Yuhao to go; she didn't want him to face the danger alone.
Xian Lin'er then transmitted her voice again: "If we stay here and are killed by Di Tian, do you think Yu Hao will fight him to the death?"
Wang Dong's body trembled violently; she understood what Xian Lin'er meant.
She clenched her fists and suddenly looked at Di Tian, her big pink and blue eyes filled with stubbornness: "My Haotian Sect has a Limit Douluo in charge. If Yu Hao does not return to Shrek Academy in five days, then my clan elders will have to come in person."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xuanzi's and Xianlin'er's eyes.
They knew Wang Dong came from the Haotian Sect, but the Haotian Sect was secluded and did not appear in public. They did not expect that there would be a Limit Douluo in the sect.
Di Tian glanced at Wang Dong, a flicker of emotion flashing in his golden vertical pupils.
The Limit Douluo is someone he should take seriously.
He then said, "Don't worry, he will leave Xingdou safely within five days."
Wang Dong took one last look at Huo Yuhao, his large, pinkish-blue eyes filled with a layer of mist.
Her voice was slightly choked with emotion, filled with reluctance and worry: "You must be careful. I'll be waiting for you to come back from the academy."
After saying that, Wang Dong turned around and wiped her eyes, not wanting Huo Yuhao to see her crying.
She then followed Xuanzi and Xianlin'er away without looking back, her figure gradually disappearing into the shadows of the trees in the forest.
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the three leave.
His brows relaxed, and his tense body eased slightly.
At least they are safe.
As for himself, he wasn't worried; he had his trump cards and backup plans.
He looked at Di Tian again and calmly asked, "Senior Di Tian, where are we going next?"
Di Tian did not reply. He glanced at the Crimson King: "Bring him to the Lake of Life."
After he finished speaking, another spatial rift was torn open behind Di Tian.
He calmly stepped into it, his figure disappearing into the darkness. In the blink of an eye, the spatial rift closed, and Di Tian's figure vanished from sight.
The Red King shook its three "dog heads," and its six eyes looked at Huo Yuhao with a complex expression.
It spoke, its voice low and hoarse: "Kid, follow me!"
After saying that, the Crimson King turned and ran deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao quickly followed, his steps light as he leaped among tree roots and bushes, keeping close behind the Crimson King.
"What's your name?"
As they walked, a clear, melodious female voice came from behind them.
Huo Yuhao turned his head and glanced at the auspicious beast that was running alongside him.
A hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes: "My name is Huo Yuhao."
He then asked, "What's your name?"
They all call me auspicious beast.
The mythical beast tilted its little head, its golden fur swaying slightly in the dappled light and shadow.
But a thoughtful look flashed in those two big eyes: "But I know this isn't a name, and I also want to have a name of my own."
Previously, the auspicious beast had never had this idea.
But now, it really wants a name of its own.
The auspicious beast blinked its golden eyes at Huo Yuhao, tilting its little head as it asked, "Have we met before? You seem to know me."
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this; he had never seen a mythical beast before.
But in his heart, the other person was the most familiar stranger.
Those historical records from ten thousand years in the future, those yellowed pages, those ancient characters, and those love stories embellished by later generations...
All of this made him feel an inexplicable sense of closeness to this auspicious beast he was seeing for the first time.
Faced with this question about the auspicious beast, Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "This is the first time we've met."
"snort!"
The auspicious beast snorted softly, turned its head away, and stopped looking at Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao noticed that its third eye, which had been tightly closed on its forehead, slowly opened.
The third eye of the auspicious beast is not gold like the other two, but red.
A surge of red light appeared within, and the auspicious beast looked at Huo Yuhao again, its gaze seemingly able to see through all illusions and understand all secrets.
Huo Yuhao didn't know what it had seen, but he noticed that the auspicious beast's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in its golden eyes.
Then, the auspicious beast's voice carried a hint of surprise: "You are indeed extraordinary, possessing such a rich aura of fortune!"
Huo Yuhao did not reply. He remembered what Elder Jin, the spirit of the Golden Tree, had said.
I am the chosen one, bearing 50% of the fortune of the Douluo Continent over ten thousand years.
However, the fact that the other party didn't realize his ability to travel between the two worlds made Huo Yuhao feel somewhat at ease.
After all, this was his biggest secret.
The auspicious beast then said, "Although I can't see it clearly, I'm sure you know me and are familiar with me."
"Because this is... a sign from fate."
