Chapter 5 Star Forest
As a village on the border of the Tianhun Empire, Shanyang Village is naturally not far from the Star Forest. Coupled with the fact that Ye Xuanji was flying with a sword at level 97, it only took less than half a day for the two of them to reach the outer boundary of the Star Dou Forest.
"Is this the Star Dou Forest?"
Before entering, this forest gave Junting an unparalleled shock! Boundless, primitive, and difficult to express in words.
This seems to be a secret place isolated from the world. The dense trees block the sky and the sun, and the sunlight can only cast mottled light and shadow through the gaps in the leaves. The ground is covered with thick leaves.
The trees are tall and straight, and their branches are intricately intertwined, forming natural barriers. These barriers block the view, making it impossible to see across the forest at a glance. The path behind the warning sign is like a giant mouth leading people into an abyss.
"The Star Dou Forest is located in the center of the three original Douluo empires. As the largest gathering place of wild spirit beasts on the land, it is divided into the edge zone, the outer circle, the mixed circle, the core circle, and the most dangerous and untrodden area. Land. And our target is at the junction of the outer zone and the mixed zone.”
Ye Xuanji withdrew her martial spirit and stood with her hands behind her back.
After stepping onto the path, he signaled Junting to follow.
"Sword Douluo's first spirit ring from ten thousand years ago was taken from a hundred-year-old Terrorclaw Bear, and obtained the spirit skill Long Sword Strike. So our target is also this spirit beast."
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the trail disappeared. This showed that they had walked out of the edge of the Star Dou Forest and officially entered the outer area. "Although we need a century-old soul beast, the Dreadclaw Bear will never be on the periphery."
"Follow me next."
After Ye Xuanji explained, she began to show off her momentum to prevent some weak and blind soul beasts from provoking them.
"Master, I remember that the Dreadclaw Bear seems to be a subspecies of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. Can't we choose the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear?" Jun Ting held the Seven Kills Sword in his hand and followed Ye Xuanji step by step. In his mind, he recalled the information about the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
"You know quite a lot."
Although Ye Xuanji was a little surprised that Jun Ting knew this, she was still not surprised. "Indeed, the Dark Gold Direclaw Bear is a better choice than the Direclaw Bear, but the number of Dark Gold Direclaw Bears is extremely rare. If you rely on luck, you may not be able to find results for several months, or even half a year. So. The Dreadclaw Bear, which inherits the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear’s aggressiveness, is the substitute.”
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly, a sound broke through the air.
After entering the Star Forest, Jun Ting, who had not let down his guard, immediately slashed the Seven Killing Sword in his hand in the direction of the sound, and what he saw was a white light.
"A mere century-old spirit beast dares to take action against us."
Regarding Jun Ting's move, Ye Xuanji's lips showed a smile, but she quickly suppressed it because of the offense of this century-old soul beast. With a wave of his hand, the white light disappeared instantly.
"Is this a wind baboon?"
Jun Ting looked in the direction from which the attack came. He saw a baboon about one meter tall, standing on a branch, waving sharp nails, with exposed canine teeth and fierce eyes.
Suddenly, a strange feeling came over me.
You must know that other century-old soul beasts cannot dodge Ye Xuanji's outward momentum. So along the way, he never saw the shadow of the soul beast. But this wind baboon…
"Are all the wind baboons so brave?"
Seeing that the wind baboon turned into a black shadow and was about to attack them, Ye Xuanji merged her fingers into sword fingers, wrapped a sword intention around them, and pointed forward at an extremely fast speed.
"Buzz..."
With the sound of a sword, Jun Ting finally reacted.
In front of where Ye Xuanji's sword was pointing, the wind baboon was already motionless. Although there were no wounds on its body, Jun Ting could clearly see that the wind baboon's eyes had lost all light.
"boom!"
The sound of falling to the ground was heard, and a circle of yellow soul rings floated above it. "Feel it?"
After Ye Xuanji beheaded the Feng Baboon, she did not rush to continue her journey. Instead, she slowly dispersed the sword intent on her finger and motioned Junting to look at the Feng Baboon's unscathed head.
"Feel."
Jun Ting suppressed the heat in his heart and nodded repeatedly. "Master, this must be the legendary sword intention in the storybook."
"Legend? This can't be called it."
Ye Xuanji didn't waste any time and slashed out with her sword finger again.
A ray of sword energy crisscrossed the bushes in front of him, forming a path. He motioned for Junting to follow and explained.
"It is true that very few soul masters from other forces and other martial arts have mastery of this kind of thing, but it is different for our Nine Treasure Glazed Sect. The method of practicing sword intention is passed down from generation to generation. And mastering sword intention , Not only will it greatly improve your own strength, but it will also allow you to have multiple self-created soul skills, which you will learn in the future.”
As Ye Xuanji patiently explained, the two of them went deeper and deeper into the Star Forest. Since the aura they can unleash is limited, there are already many spirit beasts spying on them secretly.
But none of them dared to attack like the wind baboon.
Time flies, half a day passes quickly.
Although the Direclaw Bear was not as rare as the Dark Gold Direclaw Bear, the two of them still found nothing during this period of time. However, both Jun Ting and Ye Xuanji appeared to be very patient.
It was almost evening now, and Junting and the others no longer went deeper, but took out the tent from the storage soul guide. And based on Ye Xuanji's strength, they also lit a bonfire, not afraid that this light would attract powerful soul beasts.
Beside the bonfire, Junting did not rest. Instead, under the guidance of Ye Xuanji, he practiced the top meditation method inherited and improved by the sword martial spirit masters of the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.
When the forest was no longer dark and a faint white light gradually appeared under the mottled shadows of the trees, Junting stopped practicing.
Afterwards, the two continued to set off.
Along the way, Ye Xuanji's momentum gradually subsided, and Jun Ting saw a lot of soul beasts, including some that were thousands of years old. In this regard, Ye Xuanji also explained to him.
Over the past few days, a large amount of soul beast knowledge was poured into his mind. The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, and the struggle between different spirit beasts also made him see the cruelty of the Star Dou Forest.
The journey to find the soul beast is still going on.
"Buzz buzz..."
A burst of noise caught the attention of the two people.
Along with this sound, there is also a wisp of fragrance.
"This taste is... there!"
Seemingly discerning the origin of the fragrance and the sound, Ye Xuanji grabbed Junting and flew a hundred meters away in a flash. "Let's go! I have a way to lure out the Dreadclaw Bear."
Under a towering tree, Ye Xuanji brought Jun Ting here. The two looked up and saw a huge beehive hanging on it, with countless bees hovering around it.
"Master, you want to lure a bear with honey."
Jun Ting suddenly understood Ye Xuanji's idea. He couldn't help but twitch his nose, and the sweet smell made his mouth water.
This honey is extraordinary!
