Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

"Dai Yao, do you know how long I have been waiting for you? You finally informed me!"

The excited voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang in Dai Yao's mind.

"Stop talking so much and follow the plan. Do what you can to stall for time."

Dai Yao said in a deep voice.

Long before coming to the Lake of Life, Dai Yao had planned to use the million-year-old Tianmeng Ice Silkworm as his ninth soul ring.

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is the first truly million-year soul beast in Douluo Continent, and its power over soul masters is unimaginable. During the Peerless Tang Sect period, the reason why Huo Yuhao was able to achieve such high achievements was largely due to the sacrifice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Of course, if it weren’t for the God King Tang’s deliberate suppression, Huo Yuhao’s limit would definitely not be a god of emotions.

Moreover, the soul beast clan had secretly framed him so many times, and he was not the kind of person who would repay evil with kindness.

Although some compromises had to be made for the sake of the overall interests of humans and beasts, taking away the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm meant that the soul beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest could no longer absorb the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's energy of heaven and earth to improve their cultivation. This was undoubtedly a huge loss for the soul beast clan.

More importantly, if the plan fails, the sacrifice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm can not only delay the outbreak of the beast tide, but also improve his own realm, allowing him to break through the Titled Douluo, and have a better chance of winning against Di Tian.

The most important thing is that the sacrifice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is a signal to Bibi Dong.

It means his plan failed, so Bibi Dong should be prepared.

But what surprised Dai Yao was that he was still thinking about how to make the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm agree to his conditions, but the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm actually came to him directly, contacted him secretly, and expressed its desire to sacrifice itself to him.

You know, although he has the potential to become a god, after sacrificing the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, he can obtain the eternal life he has always dreamed of and the peace of not having to be captured by soul beasts and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, but it is a soul beast after all, and his plan is to make the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm betray the soul beast clan.

Later, he learned that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had been imprisoned in the Lake of Life by Di Tian and his men for tens of thousands of years, and its essence was absorbed by numerous ferocious beasts every day, without any resistance. Sooner or later, it would die of exhaustion.

Enough of such days!
No matter what race it is, it wants to live!

But it has been trying to escape for tens of thousands of years, but was still suppressed by Di Tian in the Lake of Life. Just when it was completely desperate, Dai Yao appeared.

What surprised it even more was that Dai Yao was actually a descendant of a god! In other words, after offering sacrifice to Dai Yao, it would not only gain eternal life, but also not have to worry about safety at all.

Is there anything more exciting in the world?!

It ate ice marrow every day, ate and slept, slept and ate, and gained unimaginable cultivation. As a result, it was constantly hunted down by its own people.

Now, there is a place where he can lie down peacefully, which is really what he wants. His own tribe treated him like this, so why would he care about the tribes of different tribes! Just get close to the thigh and that's it!

In the Star Dou Great Forest, countless soul beasts stared blankly in the direction of the Lake of Life.

No matter how far away they were, they could still feel that astonishing aura, which was a realm that even the Beast God Emperor Tian had never set foot in.

They had never thought that there was such a strong man hidden in the soul beast clan.

In the Xingluo Empire, on the border of Tiandou, many Titled Douluo-level warriors felt something in their hearts and looked towards the direction of the Xingdou Great Forest in horror.

Bibi Dong, who had already returned to Wuhun City, suddenly changed her expression. After giving a few instructions to Jue and Gui, she turned into a stream of purple light and flew towards the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The entire Xingdou Great Forest seemed to be still. When the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's sacrifice began, the boundless soul power fluctuations pressed all the soul beasts to the ground, unable to move. Even the several fierce beasts led by Di Tian could not move an inch in the sacrificial field.

Tang Hao looked in horror at the giant snow-white silkworm that was approaching Dai Yao.

He had experienced the sacrifice of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and the huge energy was still fresh in his memory, but it was mostly painful memories. However, from this snow silkworm, he felt an energy far beyond that of Ah Yin's sacrifice.

Why should such a soul beast be sacrificed to Dai Yao? !

"Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, do you know what you are doing? This human is the great enemy of our soul beast clan. If you sacrifice him, you are betraying your clan."

The Red King couldn't move and could only yell.

Now all their soul beasts were suppressed by the aura released by the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm during its sacrifice. The beast tide could not be launched immediately, and they lost their trump card for negotiation with Dai Yao. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's move put the entire soul beast clan in an absolute disadvantage.

Once the army of the Wuhun Empire turns around and prepares for defense, their soul beast clan will be doomed.

Many soul beasts glared at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, but were immediately met with a retort from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm:

"Betraying the tribe? Haha, that's ridiculous. When you were absorbing my energy, did you ever think that I was one of your tribe?! Why, now that I am offered as a sacrifice to Dai Yao, you are so anxious?!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sneered coldly, completely lacking the playful attitude he had when he was around Huo Yuhao.

Zi Ji said indignantly: "Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, we admit that we do owe you something, but now it concerns the survival of the soul beast clan. Can't you put your grievances aside and discuss it after the matter is resolved? I can guarantee that we will not treat you unfairly afterwards!"

"you······"

Faced with Zi Ji's moral blackmail, Tianmeng Bingcan was extremely angry, but did not know how to refute for a while.

"Then why do you keep a cold face all day long when you were sent to me by Di Tian and you clearly know your mission? In the final analysis, you are not the one who was wronged, so you can say these words with great righteousness."

Dai Yao suddenly interrupted.

Hearing this, Zi Ji immediately remembered all of her behaviors around Dai Yao and couldn't help but fall silent.

Seeing this, Dai Yao also understood that Zi Ji was not the kind of person who was completely unreasonable. He was too lazy to pay attention to her. He turned his head to look at Di Tian who had been silent all the time, with an unreadable look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Emperor Tian, ​​the sacrifice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm can last for a day. You can't move during this day. Why don't you just wait for a day?"

Under the gaze of the soul beasts, Di Tian was silent for a long time. His dark eyes met Dai Yao's and he said slowly:

"Do you think you can change the situation in just one day?"

Dai Yao wanted to shrug, but found that he could not move in the field of sacrifice, so he said indifferently:

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Tang Hao was sent to the Xingdou Great Forest to seek help. It was obvious that the situation in Zhennan Pass had become very urgent, and the city was about to be breached.

Moreover, it was very difficult for Tang Hao to pass through the Wuhun Empire's army and reach the Star Dou Great Forest.

Firstly, Tang Hao could not reveal his identity and could not use his spirit power openly, so his speed would not be fast; secondly, from Zhennan Pass to the Xingdou Great Forest, he had to pass through many cities and be checked again and again, which greatly slowed down Tang Hao's speed.

Perhaps when Tang Hao arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, the army of the Wuhun Empire had already broken through Zhennan Pass and was on their way back.

As long as he delays a little longer, Bibi Dong's preparations will be more complete.

Hearing this, Di Tian looked at Tang Hao deeply, then simply closed his eyes and said no more.

He knew that he had fallen into Dai Yao's trap and had been distracted by Dai Yao, ignoring the changes in the situation in the Tiandou Empire. However, at this point, he could only make the best of a bad situation and gamble that the Wuhun Empire's army would not be able to return to defend in time. Otherwise, he would lose all bargaining chips.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

At first, he wanted to win over Dai Yao, the son of destiny, and offered sufficiently favorable conditions, but in reality, he always felt a little bit disapproving in his heart.

There are so many children of destiny in humankind, but most of them have turned into dry bones in the tomb, and only these ferocious beasts survive forever.

What is the so-called child of destiny?

So after Dai Yao rejected his conditions, he adopted an extremely tough attitude, trying every means to force Dai Yao into a desperate situation, forcing Dai Yao to agree to his conditions.

But in the end, the plan failed. Dai Yao escaped death and emerged as a butterfly. He could no longer restrict Dai Yao.

If a gentle attitude had been adopted at the beginning, perhaps the relationship between the Soul Beast Clan and Dai Yao would not have become so stiff. Everything is unknown.

The moon hides and the stars sink, and the red sun rises.

As the sun rose higher, a faint heat enveloped the Xingdou Great Forest. Whether it was the several fierce beasts or Dai Yao, they all chose to remain silent tacitly, not attacking each other with words, and maintaining each other's dignity.

When the red sun was high in the sky, Dai Yao calculated the time and felt the ninth platinum soul ring slowly taking shape. However, he did not feel the slightest joy of having received a million-year soul ring. He became increasingly calm in his heart, and he was ready to fight to the death.

In addition to exposing the Chaos Green Lotus, he will do everything possible to minimize the damage caused by soul beasts to the human world.

However, at this moment, Dai Yao suddenly felt an evil and noble aura slowly approaching from the edge of the Xingdou Great Forest. It was Bibi Dong's aura. It was like an icebreaker breaking ice. Even if the power of the Rakshasa God was activated, it would be extremely difficult to move in the sacrificial field.

Dai Yao understood it in his mind. He had agreed with Bibi Dong in advance that if everything was ready, Bibi Dong would come to the Xingdou Great Forest and face Di Tian and other ferocious beasts with him; if the defense was not yet ready, Bibi Dong should not come, but stay in the human world to organize the defense.

Now Bibi Dong came here with great fanfare, and it was obvious that she was ready to defend against the beast tide.

Then he instructed Tianmeng Ice Silkworm:

"Tianmeng, there's no need to delay, just complete the sacrifice!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was stunned for a moment, then began to execute Dai Yao's orders.

The enormous spiritual power that enveloped the entire Star Forest began to slowly gather.

The incandescent light enveloped Dai Yao's entire body. The blue-gold trident of Poseidon on his forehead shone exceptionally brightly, and the lake of life suddenly boiled.

The huge amount of energy was injected into Dai Yao's body like magma. Even though this was a form of sacrifice and the energy was gentle enough, the soul power contained in the million-year-old soul beast was too huge, and even Dai Yao's extremely tough meridians showed some cracks.

However, as another inky black spot on Dai Yao's forehead lit up, Dai Yao's meridians seemed to be upgraded to a higher level and began to slowly absorb the enormous amount of energy.

Finally, when the last bit of soul power returned to Dai Yao's body, an incomparably dazzling platinum soul ring slowly floated around Dai Yao.

Noble, majestic, mysterious.

Whether it was the many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest or knowledgeable humans like Tang Hao, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this platinum soul ring.

This is a soul ring color that has never been seen before. It is the essence of a million-year-old soul beast. Even though the several ferocious beasts do not think highly of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, they have to admit that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's cultivation is the highest in the soul beast world.

Dai Yao felt his body and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

With just one soul ring, his soul power level was pushed to level ninety-six, crossing the boundary of Super Douluo. It must be said that the million-year-old soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had accumulated a lot of power.

If it weren't for the fact that several ferocious beasts had absorbed the energy of heaven and earth from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm for tens of thousands of years, I'm afraid that one soul ring would be able to push Dai Yao's level to ninety-seven or ninety-eight.

"Dai Yao, don't forget, there is still a soul bone in my body! I know you are still missing the torso bone and the head soul bone, and my attributes are ice and spirit, so I specially prepared a head soul bone for you. Take it away and absorb it quickly, so that others won't miss it!"

The anxious voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in Dai Yao's mind.

Immediately, Dai Yao stretched out his hand and took out the crystal jade head soul bone from the remains of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. After just a rough feel of it, he put it into the Ruyi Treasure Bag.

Now is not the time to absorb soul bones. The field formed by the sacrifice is slowly disappearing, and the ferocious beasts led by Di Tian are waiting for him with a covetous look!

"Beast God, the sacrifice is over in less than a day. I think this kid has run out of tricks. We must take this opportunity to keep him here."

The Red King moved slightly and realized that the power restricting him was slowly disappearing. He was delighted, glanced at Dai Yao, and gave advice to Di Tian.

Di Tian did not speak, his face expressionless, his eyes fixed on Dai Yao, the corner of his eye twitched slightly.

After absorbing the spirit ring of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Dai Yao's aura rose like a rocket. Before Dai Yao obtained the ninth spirit ring, he was already very afraid of him. Now that he has obtained the spirit ring of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the feeling of uneasiness has become even stronger. Moreover, he also sensed an extremely evil aura, which was rushing towards him from the edge of the Xingdou Great Forest!
It was a terrifying aura that was no weaker than his own!
"Dai Yao, if that person is your trump card, then you have lost. There are more than trillions of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if you kill them all, you can't kill them all. At this point, you still won't give in?"

As more and more soul beasts watched, Di Tian said in a deep voice.

Dai Yao glanced at the soul beasts that kept gathering together, and felt a little depressed.

After the sacrificial site disappeared, the soul beasts summoned by Emperor Tian continued to gather, as dense as gravel, filling up the area as far as the eye could see. In the distant forest, there was a rustling sound, and more soul beasts were gathering.

However, as long as Bibi Dong comes, even if a beast tide is unleashed, the losses suffered by humans will be completely acceptable.

Bibi Dong's breath was getting closer and closer. Dai Yao smiled slightly and said:
"Di Tian, ​​it's not me who loses, it's you!"

At this moment, a breath as hot as the sun suddenly descended here, and even the soul beasts around the Lake of Life were temporarily suppressed. Even among the several fierce beasts, only Di Tian could remain calm.

Bibi Dong didn't even look at the spirit beasts around her. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Dai Yao, full of worry. When she saw the white-gold spirit ring floating around Dai Yao, she was also stunned, but she quickly suppressed her surprise and said softly:

"Are you okay?"

Dai Yao shook his head.

Immediately, Bibi Dong took a deep look at Biji beside Dai Yao, then turned her gaze and scanned the countless soul beasts below, and finally stopped her gaze on Di Tian.

"Are you the most powerful person who has been hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Bibi Dong's face returned to indifference. She glanced at Di Tian with her delicate and charming eyes and said coldly.

Di Tian met Bibi Dong's gaze and said expressionlessly:
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, you are Bibi Dong, the current pope of the Spirit Hall. Your and Dai Yao's deception is really eye-opening to me. However, even if you are the successor of the Rakshasa God, it's really too much of an underestimation of our soul beast clan to think that you can stop my soul beast army with just the two of you."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly, but turned her gaze to Tang Hao:
"Seeing you all look so confident, I think Tang Hao still has some information to tell you. I might as well tell you that when Tang Hao left Zhennan Pass, the Empire had already breached Zhennan Pass. You can calculate for yourself how long it will take Tang Hao to get to the Xingdou Great Forest, and how long will it take for the Empire's army to return to defend?"

Upon hearing this, all the soul beasts looked at Tang Hao in astonishment, with disbelief written all over their faces.

They are not stupid. According to Tang Hao, it took him quite some time to arrive at the Star Dou Great Forest. Although this period of time was not enough for the army of the Spirit Empire to return for defense, it was still able to complete most of the deployments.

Of course, if the march is fast, it cannot be said to be ready.

This means that their soul beast clan has completely lost the strategic initiative, and even if they launch a beast tide, they will only be at the mercy of others.

"It seems that you have already guessed it. Whether to launch the beast tide or not is entirely up to you. Of course, I suggest that you launch it. After all, we have been preparing for so long. How can you know if I am bluffing if you don't try it?"

Bibi Dong mocked.

Instantly, the Life Lake, which gathered countless soul beasts, fell silent, and countless soul beasts stared at the purple figure in the sky with bated breath. They could already imagine the scene where, after the beast tide started, many soul beasts would crash into the iron wall of human defense, and then suffer heavy casualties.

"Okay, Dai Yao, let's go."

Bibi Dong turned her head, and as if changing her expression, a gentle smile appeared on her delicate face.

Dai Yao nodded and said loudly:

"Di Tian, ​​thank you for your hospitality over the past few days. Please think twice about the decision of the soul beast clan and do not make a decision that you will regret for the rest of your life."

Immediately, Dai Yao and Brigitte soared into the sky, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the sky.

······
above the sky.

Dai Yao frowned and glanced at Biji. He was silent for a moment, thinking back to Bibi Dong's strange behavior just now, and asked:
"Bibi Dong, are you really ready to defend against the beast tide?"

Brigitte was shocked. Why did Dai Yao ask such a question? Could it be that this woman was just bluffing?

Bibi Dong glanced at Biji coldly, shook her head and said:

"No, although the imperial army has returned to defend in time, it is not enough to complete the defense deployment in such a short time. More than half of the troops are still on the march. It will take another three or four days to complete the deployment. If we add the time to settle down after arriving at the location, it will take another two or three days."

Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat, he took a deep breath, and said thankfully:

"It's all thanks to your wit that you managed to bluff Di Tian and the others. If we can just hold on for a few more days, even if Di Tian realizes that we are bluffing, he will have no choice but to accept it."

He didn't care if Brigitte heard it.

On the one hand, he would not allow Biji to pass on this matter, and on the other hand, with Biji's character, it is impossible for her to tell Di Tian and others about this matter. Once the beast tide is launched, there will be no turning back for humans and soul beasts.

Moreover, even if more than half of the troops have not yet reached the designated defensive positions, the current deployment can still cause great damage to the soul beast army.

Bibi Dong shook her head:

"No, I'm not trying to scare Di Tian. Even if a beast tide is unleashed, and humans suffer heavy casualties, so what? What does it have to do with me? I only care about you. As long as you are safe, it doesn't matter even if tens of millions of people die."

Dai Yao was stunned for a moment, staring at Bibi Dong blankly.

"you······"

He was speechless for a moment.

But what could he blame Bibi Dong for? Blame her for being so reckless and abandoning the lives of tens of millions of people? But to be honest, this matter was caused by him. If it weren't for him, Di Tian wouldn't have launched the beast tide. Bibi Dong only returned to defend the Xingdou Great Forest to help him.

Moreover, it was because he did not delay enough time for Bibi Dong to complete the deployment of defense.

In the original novel, Bibi Dong already had the idea of ​​destroying the world. If Di Tian launched a beast tide, perhaps her wish would come true.

But because of her existence, Bibi Dong changed her mind, deployed military defenses, and protected the people's livelihood.

He didn't know how to evaluate Bibi Dong. In the eyes of many people, Bibi Dong was a crazy woman, extreme, and evil. However, Bibi Dong changed herself for herself and protected all living beings. In any case, it was not his turn to criticize Bibi Dong.

Dai Yao rushed forward, and under the gaze of Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes that widened slightly, he pulled Bibi Dong into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Bibi Dong seemed to understand Dai Yao's intentions. Her stiff face gradually relaxed. She closed her eyes, smiled slightly, leaned her head on Dai Yao's shoulder, and hugged him gently, as if she would never let go.

On the side, Brigitte suddenly felt that she was a little redundant. (End of this chapter)
