Chapter 229: Three Things

"And this spring water, formed by the power of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, has certain benefits for hatching them."

Shi Quan took some more spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well out of his Hundred Treasure Bag, then told Di Tian about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, saying at the same time: "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is indeed the most suitable place for them to grow. I originally intended to leave these two dragon eggs there, but they have no clansmen to protect them there. To be safe, I still brought them here."

"Thank you, Shi Quan." Upon hearing this, Di Tian's expression moved slightly, and he thanked Shi Quan with a sincere look.

"Ahem." Shi Quan rubbed his nose and smiled: "Di Tian, if you want to thank me, why not do me a few favors?"

Di Tian paused, looked at Shi Quan, and said: "The Dragon Clan has received such a great favor from you; as long as it does not violate my clan's bottom line, I will definitely do my best to assist you."

Shi Quan nodded with a smile; this made bringing the two dragon eggs here specifically worth it. His goal was to get Di Tian's help.

"Di Tian, I need you to help me with three things. All three things are very simple for you. Once they are accomplished, I will give you one more thing, which will definitely be worth more than the price for you."

"Oh?" Di Tian smiled. Shi Quan clearly knew his identity. There was almost nothing in the world that could stump him, so no matter what it was, it was very simple for him, but he was more curious about what the thing Shi Quan mentioned was.

"Let's hear them."

"The hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape and the hundred-thousand-year Azure Bull Python."

In the previous battle, Zhu Zhuqing released the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul ring skill and soul bone skill. The fluctuations generated by the two soul skills had already been sensed by the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Sensing the fall of Xiao Wu, they immediately rushed over without stopping.

"Uh..." Shi Quan's expression faltered, and he immediately explained. Life Gold was a human term; perhaps Life Gold had another name for Di Tian.

It was just that the Star Dou Great Forest was truly too vast; even they could not reach the location of Shi Quan and the others in a short time.

Di Tian nodded and then said: "What is the other thing? Let's say it all at once."

"The second thing, I want some Life Gold!"

Di Tian glanced at Dugu Bo and said indifferently: "I am the King of Soul Beasts. I cannot agree to help you hunt my subordinates."

"The first thing, I hope you can help me hunt two Spirit Beasts."

"Solidified life force." Di Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you talking about Life Essence?"

Shi Quan frowned slightly and looked at Di Tian: "I have a grudge against them. If you don't help me, I will kill them later anyway. Besides, don't you soul beasts often have killings within your own ranks? It's only two Spirit Beasts, not asking you to slaughter your clansmen."

Di Tian asked: "What is Life Gold?"

"I tricked their boss into a Sacrifice for my lover. The three of them are brothers with deep bonds. If they feel that their boss's soul ring has been absorbed by us, they will definitely come to cause us trouble, so I am prepared to strike first."

Di Tian paused, but finally nodded and agreed: "I can help you, but this is the only time. What about the other things?"

"What grudge do these two little fellows have with you?"

Di Tian looked at Shi Quan in surprise. The Life Lake was his resting place; it was not only a forbidden area for humans but also for soul beasts. Logically speaking, as a human, Shi Quan should not have known about the existence of the Life Lake.

Di Tian's face darkened, and he subconsciously looked toward the depths of the forest, because Shi Quan was right; the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape and the hundred-thousand-year Azure Bull Python were on their way.

Di Tian did not agree directly but asked about the third thing.

Shi Quan casually brushed it off: "I naturally have my own methods."

Di Tian frowned, "Who do you want to kill?"

Shi Quan shook his head and said: "I am not sure if the Life Essence you mentioned is the same thing as my Life Gold, but I know that this thing exists in the spring eye at the deepest part of the Life Lake."

"You actually even know about the Life Lake?"

"As for the third thing, I hope you can let the Heavenly Fate Ice Silkworm sacrifice his Mental Power to me. I don't need the Source Power in his physical body, only his pure Mental Power."

"I am very curious, where did you learn so many secrets of the soul beast clan?" Di Tian scrutinized Shi Quan from head to toe.

Shi Quan did not explain but asked: "Di Tian, can these three things be done?"

Di Tian said: "I am now even more curious, what kind of thing would make you think that after I do these three things for you, I would still consider it worth more than the price."

Shi Quan unfolded the Blue Silver Domain and the Earth Domain, and raised his hand to reach into his bosom.

Di Tian also watched Shi Quan with poise; he wanted to see exactly what it was that made Shi Quan so cautious.

Seeing Shi Quan slowly pull his hand out, a nine-colored crystal appeared in his hand; it was the Heart of the Dragon God!

Di Tian's figure shook violently, his pupils contracted sharply, and powerful Darkness Power shrouded the surroundings, isolating all the power of the Heart of the Dragon God.

"Whew!"

A moment later, seeing that there was no movement in the world, Di Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the Heart of the Dragon God in Shi Quan's hand with excitement.

However, before Di Tian could look closely, Shi Quan had already put the Heart of the Dragon God back into the Hundred Treasure Bag and said with a smile: "Worth it, right!"

"Worth it!" Di Tian nodded without hesitation: "I agree to all three things."

Dugu Bo and the others on the side just watched Shi Quan and Di Tian chatting there quietly, unable to participate in a single word. Anyway, for some reason, Di Tian and Shi Quan had reached a consensus.

And from the exchange between Shi Quan and Di Tian just now, they also knew Di Tian's identity—he was not a human, but a dragon. Moreover, Di Tian had referred to himself as the King of Soul Beasts midway; did that not mean that Di Tian was the strongest among the myriad soul beasts?

It was no wonder his strength was so terrifying.

At the same time, everyone also remembered that when Shi Quan first entered the forest, he had said that someone would send him a soul ring.

With Di Tian helping Shi Quan hunt the Spirit Beast before their eyes, wasn't he the one helping him deliver the soul ring?

That is to say, Shi Quan had planned everything from the beginning. Tang Hao's appearance might not have been in Shi Quan's expectations, but if Shi Quan had such a trump card, once they were no match for Tang Hao, he would definitely force Di Tian to help at the first opportunity.

"Let's go, I'll take you to deal with those two little fellows first." Di Tian raised his hand and slashed, and a huge black gap suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Wait a moment." Shi Quan waved his hand, his gaze falling on Tang Hao's corpse. He stepped on his toes, arrived in front of the corpse, and collected his corpse into the Hundred Treasure Bag.

Tang Hao had at least two of the Clear Sky Sect's Inheritance Soul Bones on him; such treasures certainly could not be missed.

"Let's go, it's fine. The soul beast clan is more trustworthy than humans; as long as they promise, they will definitely do it."

Seeing Dugu Bo and the others who were still somewhat wary, Shi Quan spoke to reassure them. In their eyes, Shi Quan was completely dealing with a tiger; if he wasn't careful, he would be eaten without even bones left.

This was also a main reason why Shi Quan dared to take out the Heart of the Dragon God in advance.

"That's right, we beast clans are not as cunning as you humans!" Di Tian echoed indifferently.

Shi Quan could not help but retort: "Di Tian, you can't say it like that. What you mentioned is only a small portion of people; human nature is complex, there are good and there are bad."

"Let's go." Di Tian could not be bothered to argue with Shi Quan and stepped into the space rift in one stride.

After Shi Quan shook his head slightly, he took the four of them to follow.

The surroundings fell into darkness, and a feeling of weightlessness came, but after a moment, the surroundings returned to light again.

Two massive figures appeared within everyone's field of vision.

Among them, one figure that both Shi Quan and Zhuqing had seen before was none other than the Titan Giant Ape they had encountered when they went out to search for Xiao Wu.

As for the other figure, it had the head of a bull and the body of a snake; the bull's head was at least four meters in diameter, with eyes as large as two lanterns shining brightly, connected to a massive snake body several times thicker than a water vat, colored a dark, greenish-black.

It was none other than the Azure Bull Python.

"That is the human who absorbed Sister Xiao Wu's Soul Ring!" The Titan Giant Ape glared, pounded his chest and roared, then leaped fiercely toward Shi Quan and the others to kill them.

"Be careful, Er Ming; since this group of humans dares to come to our doorstep, their strength must not be weak." The Azure Bull Python also stared fixedly at Di Tian; he could sense that the most dangerous person among the humans before him was this man in black with golden hair, and he gathered thunder between his horns, preparing to launch an attack.

"You seek death!" Di Tian's gaze sharpened as he raised his head and let out a roar, his massive dragon wings unfurling behind him; his figure suddenly soared into the air, dragon scales emerged, and the light of the raised scales suddenly dimmed for a moment before expanding violently outward.

Instantly, the sky appeared to freeze for a brief moment, and then purple cracks appeared one after another; from within the cracks, massive dragon heads poked out one by one, opening their wide mouths to spew terrifying purple-black dragon flames directly toward the continuously expanding body of the gluttonous beast.

Ten Thousand Dragon Flame!

The surging dragon flames engulfed both the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, the terrifying dragon might feeling like the wrath of heaven; the Titan Giant Ape fared slightly better, but the Azure Bull Python's face turned pale, for it possessed the Dragon Tribe Bloodline within its body, and facing the pressure of Di Tian's true dragon bloodline, its strength was instantly suppressed by nearly thirty percent.

"You are not a human!? You are the Beast God!" The Azure Bull Python let out a terrified hiss; after realizing Di Tian's identity, the Azure Bull Python became even more furious, and while resisting the terrifying dragon flames, it frantically questioned: "Beast God, why would you help humans? We are of the same kind!"

"Why would I need to explain my actions to you?" Di Tian's golden eyes were filled with indifference.

Ten Thousand Dragon Flame, one of Di Tian's signature techniques; the power of this strike could easily wipe out a city and bury an ordinary Title Douluo, and now that all the attacks were concentrated on the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, it was absolutely terrifying.

To humans, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python might be Divine Beasts, but before Di Tian, they were merely existences that could be destroyed with a flip of his hand...
