Chapter 16 Entering the Soul Hunting Forest for the First Time
After Yang Ping'an loaded a bunch of things onto the carriage, he was ready to set off.
Among the many items, Yang Ping'an prepared two daggers, a long sword, steel mesh, a small folding crossbow, a small engineer shovel, a large crossbow, and various bows and arrows.
These things were specially prepared by Yang Pingan, and they were basically designed and built by himself. When they first started to be built, even the other people in the blacksmith department were amazed.
In order to build these things, Yang Pingan also specially bought a bunch of good iron ore, and he also thought about the design drawings for a long time.
The most important of them are the two crossbows, one large and one small. The small folding crossbow is stored close to the body and placed directly on one's waist. It can be used for sneak attacks. The disadvantage is that it is relatively weak in power.
The big crossbow is a bit exaggerated. The length of the bow string alone reaches one and a half meters, which is even close to the height of Yang Ping'an himself. It is a pure iron bow, and the bow body is entirely made of steel. The bow strings are also made of steel wire, and even the bows and arrows are all made of fine iron.
And everything is just for the pursuit of power. According to Yang Ping'an's estimation, this crossbow can at least reach the soul king level of attack power, and it may even be stronger. It should at least be stronger than Zhuge Liannu.
According to Yang Ping'an's own estimation, soul beasts below the thousand-year level cannot avoid crossbow attacks at all, and such attacks are probably fatal.
Yang Ping'an followed the carriage for about a whole day and arrived at the Soul Hunting Town the next morning. After all, the Soul Hunting Town was a full 400 kilometers away from Notting City.
After entering the soul-hunting town, there was a burst of noise all around, the shouts of various items being sold, various shouts and so on.
Yang Ping'an carried a heavy baggage and walked directly towards the Soul Hunting Forest.
Since entering the soul-hunting town, Yang Ping'an, in addition to carrying a heavy baggage, covered his face with a black towel the whole time, not showing his slightly immature face.
Now Yang Pingan is eleven years old, and his height has reached 1.6 meters. From his height and body shape, he can no longer tell that he is a child. There is danger everywhere in the Soul Hunting Forest, especially those so-called mercenaries and Ordinary people may be more dangerous, and they must not show any trace of their weakness.
Before Yang Pingan entered the Soul Hunting Forest, a middle-aged man who looked thinner stopped Yang Pingan: "This little brother, you look like you need to enter the Soul Hunting Forest. Our mercenary group specializes in accepting employment." Hunting for soul rings has a good reputation around here, and it can definitely help you get a satisfactory soul ring.”
There was a trace of ferocity in Yang Ping'an's eyes, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "Get out, I don't need it."
After saying that, he walked directly past the middle-aged man and walked to the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest. After checking the warrant, he walked into the Soul Hunting Forest alone.
The middle-aged man behind him seemed to have a cold light in his eyes, and then walked towards the town.
Since entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Yang Ping'an specifically looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then quickly summoned the Purple Gold Mastiff.
After entering the forest, the Purple Golden Mastiff seemed particularly cheerful, feeling a bit like returning to nature.
"Purple Golden Mastiff, please lead the way as soon as possible. We must reach the center of the Soul Hunting Forest as soon as possible, otherwise we may be in trouble."
The Purple Gold Mastiff seemed to understand Yang Ping'an's words, and quickly ran towards the center of the Soul Hunting Forest with a roar.
Yang Ping'an followed the Purple Gold Mastiff and ran quickly.
The Purple Gold Mastiff has a keen sense of smell, and can pass the things it smells to Yang Pingan through the connection between the martial soul and people. This effect is definitely like a plug-in in the inner soul beast forest. Although soul masters have certain perception abilities, their perception distance is very limited. Especially the perception distance of low-level soul masters is very short, especially because some soul beasts can avoid perception.
The sense of smell of the Purple Gold Mastiff is unavoidable. Both humans and soul beasts will emit a certain smell. The sense of smell of the Purple Gold Mastiff is more sensitive than that of dogs, and the distance can reach hundreds of meters. For the early stage in the Soul Hunting Forest, Life is very good.
Yang Pingan ran wildly with the Purple Mastiff and ran for two hours before stopping. Yang Pingan was so tired that he was almost out of breath.
"Purple Gold Mastiff, smell carefully to see if anyone is following us?"
When the Purple Gold Mastiff heard this, he ran back alone for a while, and finally returned to where he was and shook his head at Yang Pingan.
Yang Ping'an relaxed a little now. He entered the Soul Beast Forest alone. In the eyes of many people, he was the best prey. Someone might come to seek wealth or death.
What Yang Ping'an didn't know was that right after he entered the Soul Hunting Forest, five people followed him, including the thin middle-aged man who initially stopped him.
However, after they explored the Soul Hunting Forest for a while, they couldn't even find a human figure, let alone feel any soul power.
The group of people looked at each other, not expecting that a living person would disappear so quickly.
In their eyes, anyone who enters the Soul Hunting Forest will be cautious and even walk very slowly. However, they were only slow for a few minutes and could not find any information about Yang Ping'an, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
After resting for about ten minutes, Yang Ping'an took Luo Shan Pao and started looking for soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest. The first two hours of fast running were mainly to prevent anyone from following behind. The Purple Gold Mastiff used its own His keen sense of smell quickly evaded all dangers and spirit beasts.
There are indeed a lot of soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, but they are generally relatively low-level soul beasts, especially soul beasts like the Giant Ant and the Soft-bone Rabbit. Basically, you can receive one every few minutes. Only, you may even encounter a group of them, but unfortunately they are too weak.
And Yang Ping'an's purpose is very simple. Metallic soul beasts, especially golden soul beasts, are the ones that are likely to appear in the soul hunting forest.
The main goal is to avoid finding too ferocious soul beasts such as golden-armored wolves, red-gold bears, diamond apes, gold-eating rats, and gold-eating insects. Of course, it would be better if you could encounter a gold-type soul beast or a sub-dragon-type soul beast.
Of course, the more important point is that the Purple Golden Mastiff must like it. If the Purple Golden Mastiff is particularly eager for a certain soul beast, it will definitely be a good fit.
After searching for half a day, it was almost getting dark, but I still couldn't find any suitable soul beast. Among them, I encountered some mandala snakes and an iron-skinned bull. The mandala snake was simply inappropriate. The iron-hide bull has a lifespan of only about a hundred years.
Of course, we occasionally encountered people who were hunting for soul rings. Yang Pingan quickly avoided them every time, trying not to meet other soul masters.
At night, Yang Ping'an opened a tree hole directly at the root of a giant tree and hid in the tree hole. The outside was decorated with some stones and weeds, and at the same time sprinkled with the feces of some powerful soul beasts. powder, and even set up a small trap.
The Soul Beast Forest is countless times more dangerous at night than during the day, and Yang Pingan does not dare to run around at this time.
