Chapter 14: Three Years
.......
Three years later.
The Star Dou Great Forest is located in the south of the Heaven Dou Empire, spanning the two empires, due to the large number of soul beasts here, this is also the most indistinct place on the border between the two countries, from the map, most of the area of the Star Dou Great Forest is within the territory of the Star Luo Empire. Of course, the Heaven Dou Empire had never admitted this.
As one of the three major 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 are going to advance.
No one can say how many years the Star Dou Great Forest has existed in the Douluo Continent, but after entering the forest, the dense land that covers the sky and the sun is enough to tell people how long it has existed.
The junction between the outer and deep depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, next to the lake in the forest.
Time flies, three years have passed since that life-and-death crisis, and there have been no similar attacks again, which may be the reason why he rarely explores deeper, but more importantly, he is very cautious, choosing a location to go, and he must first slow down the trap in the path.
That's about it, take a few steps to the trap, put two at most, retain at least half of the soul power to ensure your safety, roughly put more than fifty traps and then start the formal exploration, as soon as there is any wind and grass, run in the direction of the trap array, absolutely no flaws.
It has to be said that this practice is time-consuming and energy-consuming, but it is unexpectedly safe, which also allows him to enjoy peace for three years.
Maybe it was because there were so many traps, and there were more stupid things around him who were running on the traps, and with plenty of food, he also began to do what he should do, study and cultivate.
There is nothing to do during the day, he just flips through the books, he brings enough books, and they are thick enough, whether it is the Soul Beast Encyclopedia or other books, it is enough for him to learn and absorb slowly, and cultivate soul power at night, it can be said that his life is both full and boring.
The fulfillment is that he has a lot to do.
The boring thing is that a lot of things are the same as yesterday.
Did he think about not being so tired, cultivating soul power is very mentally draining, and there is no need to read during the day, isn't it good to sleep directly?
But he remembered being paralyzed beside the boulder, watching in despair as the bear came towards him.
If you don't have the strength, you can only be slaughtered by others; Nature's survival of the fittest; If you don't progress, you'll be eliminated; If you fall behind, you will be beaten.
Ever since he had the idea of being lazy that day, he understood that his biggest enemy was the lazy heart that was about to move.
I don't know for what reason, his cultivation speed is very fast, in just three years, he has improved from level 12 soul power to level 20, according to the original book he once read, ten to twelve years old to level twenty soul power, is already a symbol of genius, and he has not yet passed his ninth birthday, this terrifying improvement speed really makes him a little frightened.
Because he wanted to accumulate more soul power, he cultivated for a while, anyway, the soul power he cultivated would not disappear, but would pile up, and after he obtained his own soul ring, the soul power would increase in an explosive way, and even as soon as he got the soul ring, he would have twenty-two levels of soul power, or even twenty-three levels.
The reason why he made more preparations was because he was about to leave here, leaving this lifeless lake, he was going to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest to see if there was any other place for him to survive.
That's right, lifeless.
Including his camp, the vine house that had cost him so much effort had also been eroded and rotted, and he was no longer sleeping in the house, mainly because the smell was too disgusting.
The radiation concentration of the lake water is so high that the water begins to stink and makes it undrinkable.
As early as a year ago, he blocked all the branches that flowed to other places, and even dived underground, trying to block the source hidden in the ground, preventing radiation from backing up along the water flow, and polluting the source of the groundwater.
If the nuclear radiation is allowed to continue to spread along the lake and along the branches, it is possible that all the soul beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles will die, and this not small area will become a real hell of death.
When he first came to the forest, he didn't notice it, but after two years of living, he realized that he was not a world destroyer, he was just a poor passerby who hid in the forest because of the inevitable radiation. There is no need for him to let his former neighbors suffer this level of harm because of this way, he is not qualified, no one is qualified, to dominate this land.
The most important reason is:
Because he lives in the main source, the water source containing radiation flows all over the place, and unconsciously, there are already a lot of soul beasts who have been drinking this kind of water, resulting in death, and the first to die is the soul beast with a low soul power level.
And these soul beasts with low soul power level happen to be his main food source, that is to say, because of his own reasons, his food source is gradually decreasing, maybe one day, he really has nothing to eat. This speed is very fast, and at the latest, all the soul beasts will escape from this hell on their own.
And even if there is a soul beast still alive in this hell, it is also a soul beast that has undergone radiation mutation, and for them, Uchiha uranium, which is itself a source of radiation, can even be regarded as the best tonic. And if you still don't die after experiencing radiation, and then continue to mutate, then you can imagine how terrifying it is.
"Kill yourself, heh, it's yours, Uchiha Uranium."
Laughing at himself, the Uchiha lay down, looked up at the starry night sky, and then looked at the blackened lake, which used to reflect the stars in the sky, but now there was only a dead silence.
"Environmental destroyer, really, why is this happening, it really goes wherever it goes, and dies wherever it goes. It seems that I can't go to the source anymore, and it's better to go to the last tributary later, alas. ”
The night always gives him infinite reverie, whether it is an important idea about his future or a nonsensical delusion, which always gives him the illusion that he is alive and well.
There are no soul beasts left around, and a terrifying shadow wanders in this world full of corpses, it is a ghost, a ghost that only seeks prey, looking for opponents.
This used to be a forest of birds and flowers, countless soul beasts gathered together, living around the lake, drinking the same source of lake water together, as long as the carnivorous soul beasts are full, there will also be carnivores and herbivores drinking water next to them, and they also relax with each other, lazily lying on the side to bask in the sun.
But one day, an unknown terrifying soul beast descended.
With the coercion, soon all the soul beasts were expelled, the water source was occupied, and the soul beasts who had no water to drink could only drink in the branch veins and other sources, and at this time there was no longer the same scene as before.
And among the soul beasts, because they were expelled by the terrifying soul beasts located in the lake in the forest, they could only be forced to enter the territory of other soul beasts to fight for the right to survive, drink, and safety, and blood flowed everywhere, and among them, a mutated creature that ingested a lot of radiation was born.
It's heading for the source of the radiation.
