Chapter 36: In Search of the Soul Beast
Following.
Before dawn, Zao Wou-Ki told everyone to get up in his gong-like voice.
"Get up, get up, don't sleep like pigs."
Except for Tang San, who often gets up early, everyone else looks like they have nothing to love, especially a few people who like to sleep lazy, such as Zhao Xuan, Ma Hongjun, Oscar......
Several people slept hazy, and were caught from bed by Zao Wou-ki, the temperature in the morning was terrifyingly low, and several people shivered with cold.
"Stinky boy, you don't even have a snack to get the soul ring by yourself."
Zao Wou-Ki was like an old mother, and scolded Oscar at a rambling scold.
"Ah, I don't want the soul ring anymore, I want to sleep!" Oscar hugged the quilt and muttered.
"What nonsense?!" Hearing this, Zao Wou-Ki slapped Oscar on the head with a slap as big as a fan, and now he woke up completely from his sleepiness.
"It hurts, Mr. Zhao." Oscar hugged his head with teary eyes, and stared at Zao Wou-Ki with a pair of resentful eyes.
"Less nonsense! And Ma Hongjun, Zhao Xuan, hurry up! ”
After some commotion, everyone finally set foot on the road to the Star Dou Great Forest, at this moment the sun has not yet come out, the sky is a thick clear gray, in the extremely far east sky, a touch of fish belly white is slowly appearing.
When they got up early in the morning, there was no place to finish eating, so everyone filled their stomachs with Oscar's sausage and began to hurry.
The distance from the town to the Star Dou Great Forest is not close, and it is still hundreds of kilometers, because they are afraid that the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest will come out and wreak havoc, these merchants dare not get too close.
After all, these soul beasts are not those soul beasts in the empire's captivity, and any soul beast in them is full of aggression.
When I came to the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, the sun had been out for a long time, and the water vapor rich in the forest was transpired into a thin mist that filled the forest, making the distant scenery looming.
Looking at the endless sea of forests in front of him, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the fresh breath belonging to the grass and trees poured into his nose, which was refreshing.
Zhao Xuan looked at the boundless primeval forest and sighed, he was really so worthless in front of the majestic creation.
The ancient trees of the Star Dou Great Forest are towering. Even on the periphery, each giant tree still has a diameter of several meters and a height of twenty or thirty meters, and the tall canopy blocks the sunlight, making the world under the tree look gloomy.
There was no such thing as a road in the dense forest, because it was too big and too dangerous for anyone to carve out a path.
Zao Wou-Ki stopped to arrange matters, Ning Rongrong and Oscar, the two pure auxiliary soul masters, had to stay by his side, and the others were not allowed to leave him at a distance of twenty meters.
After all, it's too dangerous here, so he can't be careless, maybe a soul saint can be majestic in the outside world, but once he arrives in the Star Dou Great Forest, he has to be obedient.
Everyone was cautious, even Zhao Xuan didn't dare to be careless, this was the most dangerous place in the Douluo Continent, even Contra Douluo and even Title Douluo didn't dare to be presumptuous at will.
"La~lalala~"
Xiao Wu hummed a little tune all the way, bouncing and jumping, as if she didn't feel that this was a dangerous place at all, but was happier than usual.
Tang San helplessly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Wu several times, but every time he said yes, he made a mistake again in the next moment.
"You seem to be happy too."
Zhao Xuan suddenly asked Hermione, who was excited on the side, Xiao Wu didn't feel anything, after all, in his eyes, Xiao Wu had always been innocent, huh...... It's okay to say that you don't have a heart or lungs.
"Of course I'm happy, after all, this is the Star Dou Great Forest! My grandfather only came once when he first got the fourth spirit ring. Hermione said excitedly, obviously longing for the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time.
"A group of stinky boys, this is not a scenic spot, can you have a sense of worry."
Zhao Wouji, who led the team, looked at the leisurely few people and couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure, it was better to have fewer people before, but now he has to protect nine, huh...... The safety of the eight little ghost heads, although there is a strong Zhao Xuan who can help a little, but this kid obviously doesn't know the horror of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Along the way, everyone saw a lot of soul beasts, these soul beasts are fierce and vicious, even a ten-year-old colorful cat dares to roar at you, full of wildness.
The ancient trees are towering to the sky, the dense canopy completely obscures the sky, only a few small rays of light are cast in, the whole forest appears to be deeply clouded, strange vines climb between the ancient trees, and under the ancient trees, dark green moss crawls all over the stones and trunks.
"Hermione, give you your first soul technique, it's a miasma."
Zhao Wuji suddenly said to Hermione, there are countless fallen plants or soul beast corpses in the Star Dou Great Forest, these things will form miasma after decaying, miasma is not a good thing, there are many miasma and even poisonous.
"A clear spring is like a gushing!"
Hermione nodded, and then summoned her wand, and the small wand clicked ten times in a row, and a clear light fell on everyone, and suddenly a new feeling lingered on everyone.
"It seems that this miasma is silently affecting us." Tang San frowned slightly.
"It's okay." Zhao Xuan held Hermione, who was a little pale.
"It's okay, it's just that it's a bit unbearable to use so much soul power at one time." Covering her forehead, Hermione said helplessly.
"Looks like you still have a lot to learn." Zao Wou-Ki shook his head and said.
"Mu Bai!" Zhao Wuji shouted at Dai Mubai, who was leading the way in front.
"What?"
Dai Mubai was sweating profusely, and as soon as he entered the forest, he was used as a coolie by Zao Wou-ki, and after the martial soul possessed his body, he used his claws to deal with the difficult thorns in the forest, and now he looked quite embarrassed.
"Find a place to set up camp and rest." Zhao Wuji commanded, it has been some time to come in, everyone's energy consumption is very large, and always maintaining sufficient energy is the way to survive in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dai Mubai nodded, and then continued to use his claws to open the way in front, and after finding a relatively flat place not far ahead, Dai Mubai cleaned up the thorny bushes around him, revealing a flat place.
The group rested in the open space for a while, and at the same time took out dry food and began to replenish their strength.
"Alas. Why didn't I come across an interesting soul beast? Zhao Xuan sat on the ground and sighed, along the way, he only encountered some soul beasts that were ten years and a hundred years old, not even a thousand years old soul beasts.
Zhao Wuji laughed and scolded: "When a 10,000-year-old soul beast really comes, you probably won't be able to run." ”
Zhao Xuan cut off: "If it really comes, I'll let it run too late." ”
"Rustle"
Suddenly, a rapid sound gradually sounded, like the sound of something rubbing against the leaves, and it moved very fast.
Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Xuan, is your mouth open?
