Chapter 249: Heading to the Sunset Forest to Find the Soul Beast (3/4)
Bidding farewell to the women, Bai Ge took Meng Shu from the back mountain into the sunset forest.
The Sunset Forest, although not as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest, spans the two major empires of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, but it is also among the best existences in the soul beast forests of the entire continent.
Although the Sunset Forest is not like the legend that there are 100,000-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, there are many 10,000-year soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, and Bai Ge is heading towards the 10,000-year soul beast this time.
Last time, when he hadn't completely consumed the Xuanbing Anise Grass and the Flame Apricot Jiaoshu, Bai Ge's physique could only withstand a soul ring of more than 10,000 years and less than 20,000 years.
However, after consuming the Xuanbing Anise Grass and the Flame Apricot Jiaoshu, and refining the body of Ice and Fire in the eyes of Ice and Fire, Bai Ge's Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Alchemy Golden Bell Jar had broken through to the seventh layer and reached the realm of copper skin and iron bones.
In terms of defensive power, it is not inferior to the defense system soul master in the state of soul king-level martial soul possession, and his physical fitness is also at the top level in the soul emperor, this time, Bai Ge's goal is to hunt a soul beast with a cultivation level of more than 20,000 years and less than 30,000 years.
In fact, because the soul technique has been extracted, it doesn't matter what kind of soul beast you hunt, as long as the age meets Bai Ge's requirements.
But this time, Bai Ge came to hunt the soul ring with Meng Shu after all, if the soul skill obtained after hunting the soul ring was too different from the soul beast, it would be too obvious.
So if he could, Bai Ge still hoped to find a soul beast that could make the soul master produce phantom and clone soul skills.
Walk all the way to the depths of the Sunset Forest.
When they first entered the Sunset Forest, all that appeared beside them were some weak hundred-year soul beasts, but as Bai Ge and Meng Shu gradually went deeper into the Sunset Forest, the traces of the hundred-year soul beasts began to decrease, and they were replaced by thousand-year soul beasts, but the thousand-year soul beasts were still not seen.
In order to avoid being disturbed by the soul beast, Meng Shu summoned the Martial Soul Dragon Staff.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, and black nine soul rings moved up and down around the dragon staff, and the terrifying soul power fluctuations spread out to the surroundings, the danger perception of soul beasts was naturally stronger than that of humans, and in the face of Meng Shu's soul power fluctuations, almost no soul beast would come to touch the mold.
Depart from the castle just before noon.
After Bai Ge and Meng Shu entered the Sunset Forest, the time had already come to the afternoon, and from the afternoon to the evening, the two of them had been heading towards the depths of the Sunset Forest, although there was no danger all the way, but there was also no big gain.
If Bai Ge is an ordinary Soul Sect, an ordinary 10,000-year-old soul beast is enough, but the problem is that Bai Ge is not an ordinary Soul Sect, but a Soul Sect whose defense is comparable to that of a defensive Soul King, and whose physical fitness is comparable to that of the Soul Emperor, and even surpasses the Soul Emperor to some extent.
Compared to ordinary soul sects that only need to absorb the soul ring of a soul beast of about 10,000 years when they are promoted to the soul king, what Bai Ge wants is a soul beast soul ring that has been cultivated for 20,000 to 30,000 years, which is a little difficult to find even in the Star Dou Great Forest, let alone the Sunset Forest.
"Hey, if it was thirty years ago, I would have been able to see 10,000-year-old soul beasts here frequently, but now I didn't expect to see a single one."
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, but there was still no trace of the 10,000-year-old soul beast, Meng Shu couldn't help but sigh.
More than thirty years ago, when he was still a Soul Emperor, he also came to the Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts.
At that time, after coming to an area like the one that is located at the core of the Sunset Forest, he should have been able to see the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, but now he didn't expect to see any of them, which had to make Meng Shu feel a little emotional.
But for Meng Shu's emotion, Bai Ge smiled and said, "Actually, this is normal, Meng Shu's predecessors might as well think about how many soul rings we need for a soul master in our lifetime."
A soul master with average talent, even if he can't break through the soul venerable in his life, he needs at least two soul rings, and some soul masters with good talent generally need three to eight soul rings, and there are so many 10,000-year soul beasts.
The cultivation of soul beasts is difficult, but the renewal of soul masters is very fast, and the important thing is that every soul master needs a soul beast soul ring that exceeds several times of their own, so that over time, there will definitely be fewer and fewer soul beasts, especially the 10,000-year-old soul beasts that are difficult to regenerate.
If we let it go like this, one day, the soul beast will become extinct.
We must find a way to balance the number of soul beasts and soul masters before this, either we can come up with a way to make soul masters advance without the need for soul rings or find something to replace soul rings, otherwise when the soul beasts are extinct, our soul masters will gradually become a thing of the past. ”
Bai Ge was also a little embarrassed.
"Childe is right, this old man also understands, but some things can't be avoided after all, even if we don't hunt soul beasts, other soul masters will hunt them, and if you want to protect soul beasts, such things still have to be worried about behemoths like Wuhun Hall after all."
Meng Shu smiled bitterly.
"Then what if we can one day become a behemoth like the Martial Spirit Palace?"
Bai Ge smiled.
Hearing Bai Ge's words, Meng Shu's face gradually became serious.
"If other people say it, Lao Yu will definitely not believe it, but if Gongzi says it, Lao Yu will naturally believe it."
…..
The clock was fast approaching night.
The Sunset Forest at night is very dangerous, because almost all powerful carnivorous soul beasts will choose to go out to forage at night, and at night, the soul beasts that appear in the Sunset Forest are definitely far more than the soul beasts that appear during the day.
However, it is precisely because there are too many powerful soul beasts that appear at night, so even the soul saint does not dare to wander around in the sunset forest at night, after all, even two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, let alone only a few soul masters.
But because of the protection of Meng Shu, who had been promoted to the Title Douluo level, and Bai Ge himself also had a hole card to save his life, Bai Ge was not ready to camp at night, but was ready to take advantage of the night when all the powerful soul beasts were going out to forage for food to see if he could find a suitable 10,000-year-old soul beast.
At night, the Sunset Forest was pitch black everywhere, but because the trees in the Sunset Forest were not as lush as the Star Dou Great Forest, with the help of the bright moonlight, I could barely see the surrounding scene clearly with a torch.
Moreover, Bai Ge also has the Purple Pole Demon Pupil, if he encounters any soul beast that can't be seen really, he can see it clearly as long as he opens the Purple Pole Demon Pupil, so although it is night, it still doesn't have much impact on the two of them looking for soul beasts.
Bai Ge held the torch in front of him, Meng Shu was still holding the summoned dragon staff on the side, and between the rhythm of the nine soul rings on the dragon staff, the powerful soul power spread everywhere, deterring the soul beasts around him.
In the face of a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse, if it is a powerful 10,000-year-old soul beast, like a dragon-like soul beast of more than 50,000 years, if it has a strong sense of territory, it may be possible to fight with Titled Douluo in order to defend the territory.
However, ordinary thousand-year-old soul beasts and hundred-year-old soul beasts could only tremble in the face of the pressure of Titled Douluo's soul power, and it was impossible to show their fangs.
