Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Cultured Panda
The sight of the mess illuminated by the torches stunned everyone in the patrol.
The steel fence of the Soul Hunting Forest, which was indestructible in the past, unbelievably broke through a huge gap several meters in diameter!
"What the hell is going on!"
The captain of the patrol looked at the gap and roared with a grim face.
He hurriedly approached and took a closer look, finding that it was obviously caused by a soul beast, and there were deep tooth marks left in every fracture.
"This ......"
Looking at this detail, the captain's anger was temporarily extinguished for a moment, and he shuddered and swallowed into his dry throat.
Although the Intermediate Soul Hunting Forest in Fasno Province can only hold soul beasts that are less than 10,000 years old.
But even if it is a 120,000-year-old soul beast, it is only able to escape through the steel fence, and it is difficult to destroy it, after all, this is not simply and rudely cast from stainless steel, they are also known as the Soul Hunting Wall, and the mystery contained in it is impossible to know with his level in the Martial Soul Palace.
Breaking it open just by relying on its strong teeth and sharp teeth, how terrifying this soul beast's cultivation should be.
40,000 years? 80,000 years? Or...... 100,000 years!
It's not that there haven't been similar things in the past, in the Star Luo Empire, there was a soul beast forest that was attacked by a 60,000-year-old thorny mastiff, because one of its descendants was captured by the soul hunting team of the Martial Spirit Hall and transported there.
It is said that the thorny demon mastiff tore a large area of the Soul Hunting Wall with the benefit of the devil's claws alone, but it took a long time for the Soul Hall to repair it afterwards.
Thinking of this, the patrol leader hurriedly counted the steel bars scattered on the ground.
"One, two, three...... Four, huh? How are there only four of them! ”
He, like the rest of the people who carried out the inventory, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded for a while.
After a moment of stunnedness, he became angry again.
"Okay, not only did he spread wild on the territory of my Martial Soul Palace, but he also dared to steal the things of my Martial Soul Palace, which is really unreasonable!"
If this Soul Hunting Wall is only damaged, there is still a way to repair it after spending a lot of money.
However, nearly half of the steel bars in this gap were missing, which undoubtedly made the problem even more serious and intractable, and it could not be repaired with the same amount of steel.
"Hurry up and notify the station to send more people and lighting soul guides to come over, and search carefully together, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the culprit! Those who find valid clues will be rewarded with Golden Soul Coins, and if you can't find them, you will all be held accountable! ”
The patrol leader shouted at the crowd in anger.
With that, he carefully stroked the badge of the four swords on his chest with his trembling right hand, and a chill ran in his heart.
He didn't even know if the murderer was stranded in the Soul Hunting Forest or had already fled, so how easy was it to find him?
My future is so worried......
……
At this moment, Ye Xi, the culprit, was like a lewd thief who had just stolen a bundle of steel bars from a construction site, and under the cover of the dark night, he was desperately running towards the distance.
From time to time, he would be extremely sensitive to some slight wind and grass and stop abruptly.
But in the end, it turned out that it was just because of nervousness.
Rao ran and stopped like this, and by the time the patrol officers found his "crime scene", he had already run several kilometers away!
Ye Xi ran due east, from which he would reach the edge of the province of Fasno, then turn southwest, continue along its border with the province of Rodas, and finally reach the kingdom of Barak on the border with Fasno, and head to the southernmost point of Barak.
This is naturally not the fastest way to return to the Star Dou Great Forest, and it is necessary to go around in a big circle.
But the benefits are also obvious, being able to avoid those cities and major roads as much as possible.
His speed was much faster than that of the black-scaled steed pulling the cart of the Spirit Palace, and according to his estimate, bypassing the roads and towns, and only traveling at night, it would only take two or three nights to reach the Star Dou!
After all, the technological and social development of the Douluo Continent is still relatively backward, even compared to the prosperous Heaven Dou Empire, a large part of the land is still inaccessible and inhabited by wild beasts, and there are even some fierce places inhabited by soul beasts sporadically.
Therefore, the empire must rely on a series of hub cities and roads to control the vast territory.
As long as he is cautious, Ye Xi is only in the wild with rugged terrain, and he should not encounter too much danger.
However, he finally ignored one point.
Those rural villages, there is no detailed record on the map he has seen.
In a few hours, he passed through five or six villages in a row, and almost crashed headfirst into one of the hidden mountain villages with a lot of vegetation around it.
Fortunately, after seeing the farmland in front of him and the low buildings in the distance, he quickly stopped and did not alarm the sleeping villagers.
He did not continue his journey, but took the opportunity to rest here for a while, and by the way, he looked curiously at a stone monument standing at the entrance of the village.
Although the stele was dilapidated, it was extremely clean, with no moss attached to it, and even very little dust, and it was evident that it was often carefully scrubbed.
There were still words engraved on the stele, but after just taking a look, Ye Xi was a little confused.
"What kind of ghost words are written, I can't read it at all......"
The staggered lines on the stele were so complicated that he couldn't even distinguish the words on them, let alone figure out their meanings.
Yes, he is completely illiterate in this Douluo Continent!
"This can't be done, when you are a panda, you have to be a literate panda, you can't eat the loss of being blind......"
Ye Xi reflected seriously in his heart.
But when he thought that he hadn't even passed the English level 4 test in his first life, he still dispelled this idea for the time being.
"Hehe, I don't understand."
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm looked at Ye Xi's stunned appearance and teased.
"You know that?" Ye Xi asked rhetorically.
He didn't know the words of the Heaven Dou Empire, but he could tell that it was not the same as the words on the map used by the Skylark Soul Sect.
"This million-year-old soul beast has been in the Star Dou Great Forest for a hundred years, searching for countless souls, and mastering more than one or two languages, this is an ancient character abolished by the Heaven Dou Empire after its unification decades ago, don't look at such a long list, in fact, there are only three words - "Holy Soul Village". ”
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm said proudly.
"Holy Soul Village? This name is not low, could it be that there was once a soul saint in this village? ”
Ye Xi took advantage of his night vision ability to take a look at the rows of dilapidated houses in the village.
In such a barren place, how can such a big man come out?
Ye Xi wasn't sure, and he didn't have time to think about it, a few minutes was enough time for him to take a breath, he didn't continue to stay here, he quickly got up and ran in the planned direction.
However, he continued to run for about ten minutes before he suddenly stopped again......
