Chapter 100 Take My Claw
The three-eyed golden lion suddenly exclaimed, "Sister Biji, look over there are several humans! Are they enemies?"
As a soul beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has never had much affection for humans.
A golden flame emanated from her body, and her little paws slightly lifted, waiting for Brigitte to nod so she could immediately drive away the group of humans.
As the only one currently conscious, Zhang Lexuan's pupils constricted sharply when she saw the three-eyed golden lion and Bi Ji suddenly appear. Her mind went completely blank.
The talking spirit beast and the pair of obviously non-human, magnificent wings behind the green-haired woman were undoubtedly from a spirit beast of the 100,000-year level.
A wave of bitterness and despair washed over Zhang Lexuan.
It was clear that Junior Brother had lured the Netherworld Serpent away, leaving them a glimmer of hope.
But why did they encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Were they destined to die here?
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan's mind was in complete chaos. The intense fear and helplessness made her lose her basic judgment.
If she had recognized Brigitte's identity, perhaps she wouldn't have been so tense and desperate.
Over a hundred years ago, during the beast tide, it was this Bi Ji who ultimately advocated for and persuaded Emperor Tian to sign a peace treaty with humanity.
It can be said that among the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Bi Ji has always been a representative of the peace-loving and gentle faction.
Brigitte reached out and stopped the three-eyed golden lion from attacking.
She looked at the aura of death emanating from the group of humans and asked softly, "Do you need any help?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan, who was holding Wu Ming, who was still unconscious, and filled with despair, was clearly stunned.
Before she could speak, a soft golden light suddenly appeared not far away.
An elderly man with a hunched back, who looked like he was on his deathbed, floated in the sky and then slowly fell down.
Mu En's cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and several soft white lights emerged from his body, transforming into streams of light that landed directly on Wu Ming, Li Yongyue, and Ye Liu, who were in a coma.
However, apart from their breathing becoming more stable, those individuals still showed no signs of waking up.
Brigitte watched this scene quietly, and when Mu En withdrew his soul power, a gentle smile appeared on her pretty face.
"Dragon God Douluo, their life force has been severely eroded by that aura of death. If you don't mind, why don't you let me do it?"
With her keen sense of vitality, Bi Ji could naturally see that although the Dragon God Douluo's strength was still unfathomable, his own life force was like a candle flickering in the wind, and he was about to come to an end.
Moreover, his soul power was mixed with a trace of resentment that was difficult to resolve.
Clearly, it is beyond their capabilities to heal humans who have fallen into a coma after being corrupted by the aura of death.
Moon's cloudy gaze turned to Brigitte, then he nodded.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Lady Brigitte."
With Moon's permission, Brigitte's magnificent emerald wings gently fluttered downwards.
A vibrant, emerald-green light shot into the sky, swirling in mid-air before quickly transforming into a verdant cloud.
Tiny, crystal-clear raindrops, shimmering with an emerald-like luster, drifted down from the clouds.
A rich sense of life instantly filled the surrounding air.
Those plants that had withered due to the death zone of the Netherworld Serpent were visibly revitalized under the nourishment of this life-giving rain.
Even Moon, who was standing quietly to the side, felt his pain lessen as he was bathed in the rain of life.
At the same time, a golden light streaked across the sky and landed beside Mu En, revealing Yan Shaozhe's blood-stained figure.
"teacher."
Yan Shaozhe's voice was slightly hoarse as he bowed respectfully.
Mu En nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Yan Shaozhe. Seeing that although he was seriously injured, he was not in mortal danger, he was somewhat relieved.
"Shao Zhe, what exactly happened? And where is Xuan Zi?"
Moon's voice was calm, but there was a subtle hint of gravity in it.
Upon receiving the distress signal from Yan Shaozhe, transmitted via a secret technique, Mu En immediately set off for the Sea God Pavilion.
He had already arrived, but still couldn't find Xuanzi.
Xuanzi, he can't possibly get lost again, can he?
Moon's brows furrowed even more unconsciously.
Before Yan Shaozhe could even utter a word, a spatial rift quietly opened, and Di Tian stepped out and walked to Bi Ji's side, his gaze immediately turning to Mu En.
Di Tian raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "The Star Dou Great Forest is indeed lively today. Even you, an old man on your deathbed, have come to meddle? Mu En, do you perhaps think you're about to die, so you're preparing to tear up the agreement from back then?"
"Beast God, your words are a bit too harsh," Moon replied with a chuckle. "This old man is just worried about these good-for-nothing juniors, so I came here specifically to look after them. After all, I'm getting old, and I don't have many days left. The only ones I can worry about are these little guys."
Di Tian's eyes flickered slightly, and he naturally understood the meaning behind Mu En's words.
Just then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion secretly transmitted its voice to Di Tian: "Di Tian, the location of that kind of being I sensed earlier disappeared in this very place. Could it be that those humans have turned my kind into a spirit ring?"
As he spoke, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's tone became tinged with sorrow, and its eyes, fixed on the group of humans, were filled with rage.
As expected, there isn't a single good person among humans.
Di Tian naturally did not sense the aura of the same kind that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had mentioned.
However, having served the Dragon God, he could clearly sense the lingering aura of the Golden Dragon King in the arena.
Di Tian also felt puzzled.
Given the current situation, is it possible that the Golden Dragon King could transform into a human?
How could the Golden Dragon King, who inherited the evil thoughts of the Dragon God, transform into a human?
However, the Dragon God will descend soon, and the Douluo Continent will surely return to the rule of soul beasts.
Di Tian held high hopes for his lord, who inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God.
Just then, a series of loud explosions came from afar, accompanied by faint angry shouts.
"You damned three-headed dog, get out of my way! If you dare to bother me again, believe me, I'll really kill you!"
A crimson ball of light, which had been violently blasted away by the earthy yellow light, paused briefly in the air before roaring and charging forward again.
"You old codger, weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you so eager to run away now?"
The Crimson King retorted without backing down.
"If anything happens to my students, I'll make sure you're the first one I kill in the future."
Upon hearing those words, everyone and the spirit beasts present had strange expressions.
Amidst continuous explosions, it seemed as if they had finally discovered something.
The yellowish-brown and red orbs of light separated one after the other and landed on either side of the open space.
Old Master Xuan, still looking disheveled, felt his heart sink when he saw Mu En, Yan Shaozhe covered in blood, several unconscious people on the ground, and Huo Yuhao who had disappeared.
Xuanzi looked at Mu En, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the words caught in his throat and he couldn't utter a single word.
Before Mu En could even ask, Zhang Lexuan's cold, indifferent voice, filled with chilling coldness, rang out.
"Elder Xuan, why did you only arrive now? If Yuhao hadn't risked his life to lure away the Netherworld Serpent, we would all be dead here by now. Are you satisfied with the state of things now?"
Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's question, Xuanzi closed his eyes in anguish, and murky tears streamed down his face.
Seeing Xuanzi remain silent, Zhang Lexuan looked at Mu En and said calmly, "Elder Mu, if the academy still cannot give Elder Xuan a fair punishment this time, then I will choose to withdraw from the academy completely."
"Of course, if Elder Mu wants me to repay the favor from back then, then you might as well just take my life, and that will be my way of repaying the debt."
The thought that after Mu En's death, Xuan Zi might temporarily take over Mu En's position and become the new head of the Sea God Pavilion made Zhang Lexuan feel nauseous.
If she had to dedicate her life to such a misguided academy, she would rather die.
Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's resolute words, Xuanzi's face showed panic. He instinctively tried to explain:
"That's not how it is, Le Xuan, Elder Mu. I went to capture the Silver Beast for that brat Huo Yuhao, as you know, Shao Zhe."
Moreover, as soon as I received Shao Zhe's distress signal, I rushed here immediately, but that damned Red King kept blocking my way, so I...
Hearing Xuanzi's weak and feeble explanation, Zhang Lexuan finally gave up completely.
Even at this point, Xuanzi still couldn't recognize his mistake.
Yan Shaozhe also looked somewhat embarrassed, unsure of how to respond.
Even Mu En, who was far away in the Sea God Pavilion, had already rushed over, while Xuan Zi arrived late, even after Mu En.
Moon closed his eyes, looking even older, and spoke calmly.
"Xuanzi, from now on, you will only hold a sinecure in the academy and will no longer interfere in the academy's specific affairs."
Le Xuan, I've told you before, you don't owe me any favors, nor do you owe the academy any favors. You've always been free.
The academy will do its utmost to make amends for the harm caused to these children. You will personally oversee the specifics until you and the students are satisfied.
Our top priority right now is to find Yuhao as soon as possible. Lexuan, which direction did Yuhao go?
Upon hearing Mu En's words, Zhang Lexuan suddenly realized what was most important at the moment and immediately tried to point out the route Huo Yuhao had taken to lure away the Netherworld Serpent.
Compared to the oppressive and somber atmosphere on the human side, the spirit beasts seemed much more cheerful.
Seeing the somewhat disheveled and dirty-looking Red King, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly remembered something it had forgotten and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Red King, it's so good that you're alright. But you were able to hold off that human for so long, that's really amazing."
Upon hearing the praise from the auspicious beast, the Crimson King, who had felt as if his bones were about to fall apart, immediately felt that the pain in his body had lessened considerably.
Its three heads were all slightly raised, and its tail was practically pointing skyward.
Brigitte asked with some confusion, "Red King, why did you get into a fight with that human?"
In Brigitte's memory, the Red King was not like the warlike Bear King, who felt restless if he didn't fight every day.
The Crimson King immediately recounted the events that had occurred in detail. As the Crimson King spoke, Di Tian's eyes grew increasingly cold, and he looked at Xuan Zi as if he were looking at a dead man.
When Zhang Lexuan pointed out the direction Huo Yuhao had left, Di Tian's killing intent intensified.
Moon's expression also became unusually serious.
"Beast God, I was also shocked by Xuanzi's attack on the auspicious beast. Fortunately, the auspicious beast should be safe now, and I hope this matter can be resolved peacefully."
Our Shrek Academy will also do everything in its power to block information about the auspicious beast and will never allow anyone else to disturb us. What do you think, Beast God?
"Moun, you're so old, don't you know that only the dead can truly keep a secret?"
Di Tian's tone was unusually cold.
Before Zhang Lexuan pointed out the specific location, he could only guess that the Golden Dragon King had transformed into a human.
But now he is 100% or even 90% certain that his guess was correct.
Therefore, he would never allow Shrek's group to disrupt the master's plans.
Black lines appeared on the Red King's body, and a deep roar came from its three throats.
The emerald wings behind Brigitte also shimmered with light, emitting a soft green glow.
Yan Shaozhe subtly moved half a step back, shielding the unconscious students behind him.
Xuanzi, who wanted to atone for his sins, stood side by side with Mu En, his soul power already circulating within him, ready to erupt at any moment.
"Di Tian, I am just old, not dead. If we were to perish here today, we would wreak havoc in the Star Dou Great Forest before we die, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to see that."
A white-golden light appeared behind Moon, and the phantom of a white dragon emerged in the light, its resounding roar echoing through the air.
The atmosphere inside the room immediately became tense.
But when Di Tian suddenly received a telepathic message from Gu Yuena, his expression turned strange.
His eyes flickered as he spoke, "Mu En, I won't make things difficult for you. Let that Xuanzi take a blow from my claw, and this matter will be over. Besides, we'll help you find your missing student. How about it?"
"This..." Upon hearing this, Mu En gave Di Tian a deep look, then turned to look at Xuan Zi, who had a complicated expression beside him.
Before Mu En could finish speaking, Di Tian interrupted him again.
"Moun, you should know that even if all of you attack together, you can only hurt me at most."
Not to mention you're currently in the Star Dou Great Forest; other ferocious beasts could arrive in an instant. How long could you possibly rampage through the forest then?
"Elder Mu, one must take responsibility for one's actions." Xuanzi stepped forward. "I will bear the consequences of the trouble I have caused alone."
Moon closed his eyes, his expression growing even more sorrowful.
"Di Tian, as the eldest brother, I am like a father to you. Why don't I take this blow from you in place of Xuanzi?"
Di Tian's expression became even stranger, as if he didn't know what to do either.
The Lord instructed him to spare the lives of these humans so as not to affect her subsequent plans.
But if that old guy Moon really gets a scratch from him, given Moon's current physical condition, Shrek Academy will probably be able to hold a banquet a few days after he goes back.
Di Tian could only say casually, "Mu En, that Xuanzi is not worthy of me using the Dragon God Claw. As for how long he will lie down after he goes back, that depends on his own fate."
Before Mu En could say anything more, a dense yellow light emanated from Xuan Zi's body, and the enormous Taotie Divine Ox reappeared.
"Elder Mu, let me take that claw."
