Lingze Forest is filled with the scent of an ancient forest, with moss covering the tree trunks, like green veins in the forest.
Thousands of years old trees rise from the ground, and the overlapping treetops block most of the sunlight, making the light here particularly gloomy.
At this time, beside the fast-flowing and narrow stream, a white-haired young man walked by, and behind him followed a chattering man in yellow.
"I'm sorry Zhao Zhao, I didn't expect this place to be so boring." Nan Yu had a depressed look on his face. He didn't expect that the first time he took Zhao Zhao out to play, not only was there nothing interesting in Lingze Forest, but he didn't even see a single living creature.
However, just as he finished speaking, the breath of a living being appeared in front of him.
At the same time, the smell of blood gradually spread in the air.
Nan Yu, who had been following Zhao Zhao slowly, suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Zhao Zhao: "Danger." His yellow eyes flashed with sharp light as he looked into the depths of the forest.
The pressure from the high-level spirit beasts warned them to move forward.
Nan Yu turned around and said to Zhao Zhao, "It's a spirit lion."
Zhao Zhao: "Spirit lion?" A hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
He had only read about other spirit beasts in books, but in reality, apart from the creatures of the Phoenix clan, he had never seen any other spirit beasts with his own eyes.
Nan Yu knew what Zhao Zhao was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, so he said with a smile, "Interested? Then I'll take you to see it."
Not to mention that the lion was already injured, even if it was a spirit lion in its prime, Nan Yu might not take it seriously.
Zhao Zhao wanted to see the world, and as long as there was no danger, he would naturally support her unconditionally.
Zhao Zhao nodded, ignored the warning, and followed Nan Yu slowly into the depths. After a while, he saw a huge purple thunder lion covered with scars lying on a bare ground covered with weeds, panting.
He looked at them with alert and deep eyes, but his body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to get up.
"Are you here to kill me?" A deep and powerful voice echoed in the empty forest. Nan Yu looked at Zhao Zhao nonchalantly, signaling him to make the decision.
Zhao Zhao stared at the lion curiously for a while, then suddenly looked up and asked Nan Yu: "Can we save him?" Her clear green eyes saw through everything, and Nan Yu's eyes were gentle.
Surprise and doubt flashed across Lei Shi's huge eyes.
Nan Yu rubbed his head helplessly and said, "Saving him is no problem, but have you ever thought about what to do if he turns against you after you save him?"
Of course, he himself was not afraid of a little Lei Shi, but he had to take this opportunity to educate Zhao Zhao.
There is nothing wrong with young people being simple and kind, but they should always be on guard against others.
"I won't! I can assure you that I will never have the intention to harm others after being rescued!" Lei Shi has a very strong sense of survival. Seeing them discussing his life and death, he immediately expressed his position.
Nan Yu's eyes were cold: "How can we know whether what you said is true or not?"
"Zhao Zhao, oaths are the most unreliable things." His face suddenly became serious.
Lei Shi wailed helplessly, and those who heard it were heartbroken and those who saw it wept. Zhao Zhao was shaken: "Save him, Third Elder."
Nan Yu was silent for a moment, and Zhao Zhao continued, "I am confident that I can defeat him. If he attacks me after being rescued, I will never forgive him."
"Won't...."
Nan Yu sighed and nodded slightly.
Only then did Zhao Zhao happily walk towards Lei Shi who was lying on the ground.
The Thunder Lion beast form was extremely large, with a wound on its abdomen that was longer than the length of Zhao Zhao's human form as it lay. It was covered in blood and flesh, with bones visible through it.
Zhao Zhao observed the injury, her emerald eyes flashing with surprise: "What injured you? Why is the wound so horrific?"
Nan Yu stepped forward, worried that Zhao Zhao would be frightened by the bloody scene, and said, "Let me do it, you watch."
The slender palm pressed on Zhao Zhao's shoulder, just like Xi Yan not long ago, pushing him away and leaving the heavy work to himself.
When Lei Shi saw Nan Yu coming forward and felt the powerful pressure from the Phoenix Clan, he murmured, "People from the Phoenix Clan." His originally violent heart was completely extinguished after he learned the identities of the two people in front of him.
Nan Yu was treating his wound. Seeing Zhao Zhao staring at him curiously, he asked Lei Shi again: "What spirit beast hurt you?" He lowered his eyes to look at the most fatal wound, and he already had the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, Lei Shi shouted solemnly: "Dragon clan!"
"That damn guy..." He suddenly lowered his voice and continued, "I don't know what got into him. He suddenly attacked me with a fatal blow. I was too weak to resist, so he beat me to the point of near death."
If I hadn't met a kind-hearted young man today, I might have been left dead in the wilderness.
Dragon Clan......
Zhao Zhao thought to himself that the book said that dragons were very powerful creatures, but they were violent by nature and were not liked by other races in the spiritual world, including the phoenix clan.
Nan Yu said, "The dragon race has calmed down a lot in the past hundred years. They will definitely not attack you without reason."
His sharp eyes swept across the huge lion eyes and he said coldly: "Tell me, what did you do!"
Zhao Zhao was surprised, surprised that the arrogant Third Elder seemed to have a good impression of the dragon clan.
Nan Yu stopped moving his hands, and his aura suddenly became terrifying. Zhao Zhao stepped forward in surprise and tugged at his sleeve: "What's wrong?"
He took a deep breath and said, "Zhao Zhao, don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance."
"He must have done something to irritate her!"
If it were the dragon clan a hundred years ago, Nan Yu might have believed what Lei Shi said.
But a hundred years later, the dragon clan has recuperated, abandoned evil and turned to good, and has never even caused any bullying incidents in the spiritual world. They will certainly not provoke Lei Shi for no reason.
Upon hearing this, Lei Shi's huge eyes flashed with guilt. Seeing that Nan Yu and Zhao Zhao were staring at him with increasingly cold eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Not long ago, a cub fell from the sky. I kindly caught him out of kindness, but the brat not only didn't thank me, but also insulted me and made his clothes dirty."
He roared, "How can I tolerate this? I was about to teach that brat a lesson when I just stretched out my claws and was slapped in the face by a dragon that descended from the sky!"
He must have not checked the almanac before going out today, as he encountered such an unreasonable thing. The dragon didn't listen to his explanation at all, slapped him a few times, and left with the cub.
Whether it was the cub or the dragon clan that came later, they were all unreasonable.
He is completely innocent. Now, he only hopes that the two phoenixes in front of him can be reasonable and distinguish right from wrong.
Zhao Zhao and Nan Yu looked at each other, and Nan Yu suddenly curled his lips: "If he went crazy because of the cub, then it is in line with the characteristics of the dragon race."
Zhao Zhao remembered the characteristics of the dragon race mentioned in the book and said, "Dragons really like their cubs."
Nan Yu looked at him with appreciation, then looked at Lei Shi, the terrifying coldness in his eyes no longer there: "I hope you didn't lie to me." Then he squatted down again to treat his wound.
Lei Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's absolutely true."
"The child is probably still in the hands of that dragon. If you meet him, you will know how violent his temper is and how rude the dragon's behavior is."
Nan Yu nodded and joked, "I'll have to see it when I have time."
But at this inappropriate moment, Zhao Zhao thought of a certain bad-tempered kid.
His heart suddenly began to beat unsteadily, and he frowned slightly, hoping that he was just overthinking it.
