Chapter 29
The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, Zhao Wuji called everyone in his loud voice.
After leaving the town, everyone accelerated their progress. It was already very close to the Star Dou Forest. Everyone rushed to the road with all their might. The most exciting thing was naturally the Oscar that was about to get their third soul ring.
The Stardou Forest is located in the south of the Tiandou Empire. The forest spans two empires. Because there are many soul beasts here, this is also the most indistinguishable place in the two countries' borders. From the map, most of the Stardou Forest is within the Xingluo Empire. Of course, the Tiandou Empire has never recognized this.
As one of the three wild soul beast settlements, this is naturally the place where soul masters most hope to come, because every time they come here, it means that they will advance.
No one can tell how many years the Stardou Forest has existed in Douluo Continent, but after entering the forest, the denseness that covers the sky is enough to tell people how long it exists.
From afar, I vaguely felt a burst of clear air blowing from the front, the smell of plant fragrance refreshing and indescribable comfort. Taking a deep breath of fresh air, the 36,000 pores in the body seemed to be stretched out, and the feeling was indescribable.
Although Gu Chen and Gu Yuena spent only a few days in the Stardou Forest, they were far from comparable to Xiao Wu, who grew up in the Stardou Forest. However, after they arrived at the Stardou Forest, they felt a sense of home-like comfort, which was brought by their bloodline.
Finally, they came to the Stardou Forest. The tall trees were at least more than twenty meters long. This was just the outermost. The dense forest had no paths at all. The shadows were heavy, and the real scene could not be seen.
When I arrived at the forest, the air became more comfortable, as if the temperature had dropped a little. The refreshing feeling and the moist earthy fragrance kept stimulating everyone's sense of smell.
"Stop." Zhao Wuji spoke.
Everyone stopped, and the hundreds of miles of progress made their bodies warm up, especially Oscar and Ning Rongrong. As auxiliary soul masters, their physical fitness was not bad, but they could not be compared with Gu Chen and the others.
Everyone recovered after resting for a while and then continued to move forward.
Along the way, Xiao Wu jumped and was very happy. After all, this was her home.
The terrain in the Stardou Forest is very complex, and there is no road in the forest. The work of opening the road naturally fell on Dai Mubai.
Using the martial soul to possess it, Dai Mu Baihu bounced the sharp blade on his palm, and waved his palms to split the thorns in his progress without affecting everyone's speed of progress.
Soon, they encountered a soul beast, and a group of soul beasts.
Amid Zhao Wuji's deliberate voice, everyone stopped moving forward. This group of soul beasts was first discovered by Tang San. They were a group of rodents. This kind of soul beast was not big in size and had strong attack power, but their teeth were very powerful and could bite through the metal.
Gu Chen frowned and quietly released a trace of dragon power to drive away these rodents. Although Tang San and others did not hurt them in the original work, just in case.
The Stars and Big Forest is so dense that the words "blocking the sky and the sun" are not exaggerated at all. It is not easy to see the sunshine in the forest.
Everyone walked forward for about an hour, and it was noon. Over the past hour, they had encountered many soul beasts, but most of them were ten or hundreds of years old. When they encountered soul beasts, they avoided them and did not directly conflict. Occasionally, they came up to die without open eyes, and were also driven away by Gu Chen secretly released the dragon power.
"Okay, let's rest for a while." Zhao Wuji's voice relaxed everyone who had been tense. Dai Mubai cleaned the surrounding thorns and created an open space of nearly 100 square meters. Everyone sat down against the trees and temporarily repaired them.
Oscar naturally contributed his sausages. At this time, everyone was not in the mood to feel what was good or not. They ate Oscar's sausages, drank the water they carried with them, and temporarily tweaked them.
Just as everyone was resting for about half an hour, suddenly, Tang San and Zhao Wuji's eyes turned in one direction at the same time.
Zhao Wuji shouted loudly: "All up, let me tell you to get close."
The rustling sound went from small to large, even Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who were auxiliary soul masters, could clearly feel how fast the unknown creature approached.
"It's a phoenix-tailed cock-collar snake that has been around for a thousand and seven hundred years." Gu Yuena whispered softly. With her mental power, she could see the other person's reality and reality in a glance.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a human being at this time and Gu Chen had also told him the truth that the strong prey on the weak would have prevented them from hunting soul beasts.
Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up: "Phoenix-tailed cock-collar snake?! This kind of soul beast is quite rare. The meat crown on its head has many wonderful functions. Oscar, you are blessed. Unfortunately, I don't know how many years this phoenix-tailed cock-collar snake has been. Gu Yuena, stare at the direction it is moving forward and report to me immediately whenever there is any change."
"Here you come." At this moment, not far away, Zhu Zhuqing's voice came out. With a low shout, she was actually rushing down from the air, not afraid of the other party being a thousand-year-old soul beast. Her claws and the first soul ring on her body lit up at the same time, and the Netherworld stinged and activated.
The phoenix tail cocktail snake reacted very quickly. Although it was rushing forward quickly, the snake's head was tilted in a hurry. Zhu Zhuqing's claw did not slap the meat crown, but slapped it on it, making a muffled sound, which immediately reduced the speed of the phoenix tail cocktail snake's forward.
Immediately afterwards, with Ning Rongrong's assistance, Tang San and Ma Hongjun controlled the phoenix-tailed cock-collar snake. Zhao Wuji also took action. He released the fourth and fifth soul skills and successfully subdued the phoenix-tailed cock-collar snake.
Zhao Wuji took out a short blade from his waist and handed it to Oscar: "The night is long and dreamy, let's do it. Punching in from the point under its flesh crown can pierce its brain, and this soul ring is yours."
Oscar excitedly took over the short blade. At this time, the thousand-year-old soul beast was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of him. His third soul skill was about to succeed, and he was so excited that he even trembled with his hands.
Just as Oscar was about to stab the knife, suddenly, a hoarse shout suddenly sounded: "Stop."
Immediately afterwards, two figures jumped out from the direction where the phoenix tail cock-collar snake flew over and appeared in front of everyone.
The visitors were Snake Woman Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran. Their appearance shocked everyone at the same time, but when they saw that there were six soul rings on the old woman, they were all relieved. After all, the seven soul rings on Zhao Wuji's body were not vegetarians, especially the deep black ten thousand-year soul rings, which nakedly showed their deterrence.
At this time, Gu Chen frowned. He had read the original Douluo Continent many times, and every time he saw this, he felt very annoyed.
The next moment, Gu Chen's figure appeared behind Oscar, holding his hand and poking it down.
The dagger stabbed into the head of the phoenix tail cock-collar snake.
The phoenix tailed cock-collar snake suddenly died, and a purple soul ring rose.
"You actually snatched my soul ring?" Meng Yiran roared angrily.
