Chapter 179 Entering the Star Forest
The Xingdou Great Forest, as the border of the three kingdoms, is located in the center of the original Douluo Continent and is the largest soul beast forest in the entire continent.
To be honest, the more you know about the Star Forest, the more terrified you will be of it.
After all, apart from the Demon Forest, there is no other place on this continent where the concentration of strong people is so high.
The next morning, Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi woke up by the river and fell asleep snuggling with each other.
But when he woke up, both of them felt a little awkward.
Dai Luoli and Xu Yun, who lived in the other room, woke up early. After washing up, they found that Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi were not in the other room, so they went outside to look for them.
Soon the four of them gathered by the creek.
"Everyone is here, let's go in." Huo Yuhao looked at everyone and said.
The other three nodded and followed.
This time, all four of them needed spirit rings, but Orange had the simplest need for a martial soul. Orange's martial soul, like the spirit rings needed by other soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire, needed to be able to increase soul power.
There are no special requirements, so as long as the age is suitable, it will be fine.
But what Orange needs is the fifth soul ring, which has a lifespan of more than ten thousand years. The area that needs to be involved also needs to go further inside.
After discussing, everyone decided that it would be better to first look for the thousand-year soul beast that Dai Luoli and Xu Yun needed.
Although Dai Luoli's martial soul has undergone some changes, the spirit rings he needs are no different from those of other people in the family.
The same goes for Xu Yun's Star Crown Martial Spirits.
Their martial souls are similar to the martial souls inherited from their families, and their soul skills are mostly the same.
So they have a lot of experience to follow.
Even their families have formed a comprehensive understanding and tracking of a certain race of soul beasts.
Although they cannot be kept in captivity, they can be monitored for long periods of time or understood through information from various sources.
You should know that since Dai Mubai became a god ten thousand years ago, the first three soul skills of the White Tiger family's martial spirits have all been the same.
Even the soul skills that come after this will mostly follow this rule in their search.
It can be said that Dai Luoli and Xu Yun can actually find the soul beasts they need very easily.
Because they have a deep understanding of this and extremely precise goals.
As for Huo Yuhao, he is the most difficult one.
The spiritual martial soul he needed was the most difficult to find among all soul beasts.
It's a blessing to meet one occasionally.
So I guess I can only go with the flow.
But Huo Yuhao’s mentality is still good.
Although there are many types of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, there are not many spiritual soul beasts. On the contrary, the Evil Eye Clan in the Demon Forest where the Sun and Moon Empire is located are all spiritual soul beasts.
In addition, there is the Silver Moon Wolf King, etc. It can be said that the Sun-Moon Empire seems to have more spiritual soul beasts.
Soon, everyone arrived at the area where the thousand-year-old soul beast appeared.
However, it is not so easy to find a soul beast so quickly.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao had spiritual detection. Huo Yuhao turned on the spiritual detection and shared it with the four people. He asked them to share the vision he detected with the four people, so that everyone could observe the movements of the soul beast more quickly.
But even so, it took three full days to find the soul beast that Luoli needed.
"The black-clawed giant tiger beast, judging from its patterns, this is probably an eight thousand year old black-clawed giant tiger beast. Brother, this soul beast meets my requirements." Dai Luoli said excitedly as he looked at the picture presented by the spiritual detection.
After he said this, the others also became excited.
After searching for such a long time, I finally found one.
"Brother, don't do anything yet. Let me give it a try and see if I can defeat this soul beast with my own strength." Dai Luoli looked at the black-clawed giant tiger beast not far away and was eager to try.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao didn't want to discourage Dai Luoli's enthusiasm.
So I had to agree.
Then Dai Luoli walked out excitedly and challenged the soul beast in front of him head-on.
Huo Yuhao helped to use the spiritual detection to prevent other soul beasts from coming nearby.
Generally speaking, the lifespan of a soul master's fourth soul ring is usually between eight thousand and nine thousand years, which is basically close to ten thousand years, but not quite the extent of ten thousand years.
This black-palmed giant tiger beast is eight thousand years old. In terms of strength alone, it is actually not much different from a level 40 human soul master.
From this perspective alone, this is actually a evenly matched battle.
But there is one thing, Dai Luoli’s combat experience is not that rich.
He had been in the academy from the very beginning, and the only battles he had participated in were the ring matches within the academy.
I haven't encountered any life-and-death battles.
After Dai Luoli approached the black-clawed giant tiger beast, the black-clawed giant tiger beast looked at Dai Luoli in front of it vigilantly.
But he didn't take action immediately.
Only after walking closer did Dai Luoli see the full appearance of the soul beast.
This black-pawed giant tiger beast has four huge black paws, black and white patterns all over its body, and is more than three meters long.
If he stood up, he would be taller than both of them.
This is actually considered to be a relatively small size among tiger-type soul beasts.
Dai Luoli took a deep breath, then activated his first soul skill, and the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave was launched.
However, this attack did not work on the black-clawed giant tiger beast, which had been on alert for a long time.
The black-clawed giant tiger beast nimbly dodged Dai Luoli's attack, then let out a roar and began to pounce and bite Dai Luoli in counterattack.
A man and an animal started fighting like this.
During this period, Dai Luoli switched back and forth between the three soul skills.
But even so, he was still somewhat powerless when facing the black-clawed giant tiger beast.
Whenever the black-clawed giant tiger beast pounced on Dai Luoli, Dai Luoli would dodge it very carefully.
That kind of life-and-death crisis is very different from a competition with classmates in school.
A sense of panic surrounded Dai Luoli, preventing him from exerting his full strength.
Xu Yun, who was standing nearby, also realized this and wanted to step forward to help Dai Luoli.
But he was stopped by Huo Yuhao.
"What are you looking at? Can't you see that Dai Luoli is injured?" Xu Yun asked angrily.
“This is his own path. If you go over there now, it will destroy all his previous efforts.” Huo Yuhao said seriously, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to him with me here.”
Huo Yuhao's mental interference was indeed there, even if Luo Li was careless, Huo Yuhao could still save him. At this time, Dai Luoli, who was scratched on the chest by the black-clawed giant tiger beast, covered his chest with blood, which made him extremely angry.
The bright red blood tiger martial spirit attached to his body, urging Dai Luoli to stop restraining himself and start fighting vigorously.
Dai Luoli was no longer avoiding cautiously, nor was he afraid of getting hurt.
It is a mad pursuit of victory, jumping and attacking between every life and death.
Even Huo Yuhao, who was watching from the side, had his eyelids twitching. This kid could be so crazy when he got mad.
Soon under this situation, the black-clawed giant tiger beast fell down completely.
At this time, Dai Luoli's injuries became very serious.
Huo Yuhao quickly came to his side, used a slight frost to freeze Dai Luoli's injuries, then took out the prepared pill and fed it to Dai Luoli.
After ensuring that Dai Luoli's injuries would not worsen, Dai Luoli hurriedly began to absorb the spirit ring.
The spirit ring must be absorbed within a certain period of time, otherwise it will dissipate.
An hour later, Dai Luoli successfully advanced to level 41 and obtained the fourth spirit ring.
"Not bad, not bad." Huo Yuhao said happily.
"What is your soul skill?" Xu Yun asked curiously.
"Hehe, let's have a fight and we'll know." At this time, Dai Luoli had obtained the soul skill and brought it up when he was in a high mood.
"I won't fight with you. How strong are you now? I am no match for you at all." Xu Yuan was not a fool. Their strengths were originally similar. Now that Dai Luoli had obtained a spirit ring, he was naturally stronger than him.
"How about we fight again after you get your spirit ring?"
"Okay, but you don't just want to fight with me, do you?" Xu Yun said speculatively.
"Hey, you guessed it right. How about we make a bet?" Dai Luoli said with a grin, "If I beat you later, you must agree to my two conditions. If you win, I will also agree to your two conditions. How about the two conditions?"
Dai Luoli learned this trick from his brother.
Seeing how his brother used this trick so well, Dai Luoli also wanted to give it a try.
But it is obvious that Dai Luoli is not an expert in this field.
And Xu Yun didn't go there only once.
"No, because even if I lose, I only ask you to help me do two things. Would you not agree?" Xu Yun saw through Dai Luoli's little thoughts at a glance, gave Dai Luoli a blank look, turned around and left.
Dai Luoli touched his nose and found that this was indeed the case.
He and Xu Yun have known each other for a long time, but between the two of them, as long as Xu Yun made a request in a straightforward manner, Dai Luoli would rarely fail to satisfy it.
Of course, Xu Yun would not deliberately make requests that would make things difficult for Dai Luoli.
There is actually a feeling of mutual support between the two of them.
After helping Dai Luoli find the first soul beast, everyone set up camp and rested as usual that night.
The four of them ate around the fire, thinking about helping Xu Yun find the soul beast he needed tomorrow.
But unfortunately, in the next three days, no one found the soul beast that Xu Yun needed.
Xu Yun's martial soul is the new crown martial soul. Their clan has very precise research on the soul beasts they need. They know what kind of soul beast to choose for which soul ring, at what age, and so on.
Where would that soul beast often appear? How should we deal with that soul beast? These are all recorded in the royal family.
However, the crowd did not expect that even if they searched according to the records, they still could not find this soul beast.
After wasting three days here, Xu Yun took the initiative to go deeper to help Ju Zi find the soul beast he needed.
Everyone thought about it and realized this was the truth, so they turned around and walked towards a deeper place.
But no one expected the unexpected turn of events. Just before everyone was about to step into the ten thousand year soul beast habitat,
Everyone actually found a suitable soul beast here.
Xu Yun was overjoyed and immediately took action.
When Xu Yuan was planning to deal with the soul beast by himself, he didn't expect that after hitting the soul beast, the cry made by the soul beast instantly attracted several other soul beasts.
At once, several soul beasts rushed towards this side.
Fortunately, the strongest among them is only a ten thousand year old soul beast.
Huo Yuhao hurriedly helped Xu Yun to resist the soul beast outside, leaving Xu Yun and Dai Luoli to fight the soul beast together.
Seeing that the target soul beast chosen by Xu Yun was constantly injured and wailing, the elders of the soul beast surrounding it became agitated.
Huo Yuhao's business team gradually became troublesome.
He didn't want to kill the soul beast directly. He didn't need the soul ring. If he killed it out of thin air, someone who needed the soul ring would have to kill other soul beasts in the future.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao had to seriously injure the soul beast while at the same time being careful to prevent himself from actually killing it.
Soon, with a wailing sound, the target soul beast that was besieged by Xu Yun and Dai Luoli died tragically in front of his family.
And Xu Yun began to absorb the soul ring non-stop.
When the other soul beasts surrounding the outside saw this scene, they let out a wail.
But faced with the obstacle of Huo Yuhao, the other soul beasts had no way to break through.
I can only retreat in shame.
After Xu Yun finished absorbing the soul ring and learned the news, his expression immediately became nervous.
"This soul beast is called Xinghe Beast. The attribute of this soul beast is a rare star attribute, so very few soul masters need them. Only soul masters like us need them."
"This kind of soul beast's individual combat capability is not strong, but they have one characteristic, that is, they are particularly concerned about other soul beasts of the same species."
“Those soul beasts that just left didn’t escape, but went to look for more powerful soul beasts of the first race. We have to leave quickly.” After Xu Yun finished speaking, everyone detected through Huo Yuhao’s spiritual detection that in another direction, dozens of soul beasts of the same race were rushing towards this side.
The leader among them was a soul beast that was 50,000 years old.
There was no time to say anything more at this time. Everyone took their soul guides and ran towards the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
No one expected such a situation to occur.
The crowd was fleeing in front, while a large group of stars and beasts were chasing after them.
Although the leader of the Xinghe beasts is indeed very powerful, fortunately Xu Yun is very familiar with this kind of soul beast.
In order to prevent them from chasing them, Xu Yun asked everyone to apply a kind of powder on their bodies. After applying the powder, people could hide in the trees at an extremely fast speed.
And by hiding like this, he miraculously avoided the pursuit of Xing and the beast.
The other soul masters who entered the Star Dou Great Forest today are in big trouble.
They clearly did nothing, yet they all died because of the soul beast riots caused by others.
But there is no other way. Once you enter the Star Dou Great Forest, no one can guarantee your safety.
Change first and then change
