"This is it."

Falling at the edge of the Sunset Forest, after making sure that there was no threat of killing at first sight, Dugu Bo gently lowered Lanta to the ground.

"The old man has already said it before, and you have to decide for yourself what to do next." Leaving this sentence, Dugu Bo didn't give more advice. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace in front of Lanta's eyes.

The cold wind howls, and the silver moon hanging high in the sky illuminates the forest beautifully. But the faint sound of fallen leaves being trampled on from the depths proves that even if it is the same forest, this place is completely different from the grove next to the Holy Spirit Village.

Although there is a cover-up, Dugu Bo is also a title. He noticed that on Lanta's wrist, there was a storage soul guide that was quite precious to a civilian soul master.

Dugu Bo didn't even have to think about it, he knew that it must be Gu You who relied on the identity of "Gu You Master" to get from the Wuhun Palace. Gained.

However, even if there is a storage soul guide, the storage space inside is likely to be very limited, after all, the Wuhun Hall is not for charity, Gu You didn't join, it's good to give a small one. If the soul guide didn't have the necessary supplies in it, then she would have to return to Heaven Dou City.

Usually, there will be small villages around the Soul Beast Forest that rely on soul masters to survive, but because the Sunset Forest is located near Heaven Dou City, this unique geographical location directly leads to the lack of soil for the survival of this kind of village, and if you need to buy supplies, the soul master must return to Heaven Dou City.

Otherwise, a great soul master entering the soul beast forest empty-handed is similar to sending high-end takeaway from Heaven Dou City to the soul beasts inside.

On the other hand, the topic of Gu You's trip to Lanta is to reach the Eye of Ice and Fire. Usually a requirement like this is the sooner you arrive, the higher the score. If Lanta wants to get a high score on Gu You, he must immediately set off now.

Forward or backward? Aggressive or Safe?

The two choices in front of Lanta have their own reasons, Dugu Bo's eyes hidden in the dark turned into snake pupils, and he quietly stared at Lanta who was stunned in place with a little scrutiny in anticipation.

As a hidden instructor, he has a good relationship with Gu You, and Dugu Bo, who holds the right to score, is like a child who meets a relative's family at this time, and the main thing is to be strict and release water at the same time.

'The choice of Master Guyou's disciples, let the old man witness it with his eyes. ’

Not far away, Lanta, who was stunned in place in Dugu Bo's perspective, simply judged his current position. After a little thought, he didn't set foot in the Sunset Forest, but gathered some long branches and fallen leaves directly at the edge, and set up a simple shelter next to a stout tree.

Then, Ranta sprinkled a circle of yellowish powder around the shelter to drive away low-level soul beasts, and then went into the shelter and began to sleep.

“？？？”

The third way, which has never been conceived, is neither forward nor backward, what is the operation of sleeping in place.

Lanta, who was quickly falling asleep, couldn't imagine Dugu Bo's stunned expression now. If she saw it, she would probably find an angle that Dugu Bo couldn't see, and secretly roll her eyes.

Please, whoever loves to enter the soul beast forest at night will enter, anyway, I won't enter.

Night is the time when most soul beasts are active, and the vast majority of predators choose to haunt at night. If he ignores the dangers of the night in order to rush these hours, then the hunter knowledge that Lanta learned from Lian Wai is equivalent to Bai Xue.

One of the hunter's rules is that hunters must understand the terrain and weather changes in their environment, and master the most basic prey behavior habits and take necessary precautions.

Lanta had never been to Sunset Forest before. However, as the closest and only large-scale soul beast forest to Heaven Dou City, even if it was only hearsay, Lanta also took the initiative to passively learn a lot of information.

I won't go into much detail about other information, but the most important one is that there is no trace of a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Sunset Forest, and there is no terrifying existence like the Fengshan Dragon, which surpasses the soul beast and can be called synonymous with natural disasters.

To be honest, it's not that Lanta is afraid of trouble, it's mainly that Gu You's luck is too strange.

Worship is worship, and what is worshiped is wisdom and vision, and luck is still counted.

It's better not to encounter strange things than to encounter them.

Because of this, Lanta is relieved to set up a shelter to sleep. It's not just because there is Dugu Bo as a bodyguard, but there are no sightings of strange things here.

Unbeknownst to Lanta, the strangest things in the entire Sunset Forest were concentrated in her destination. And her few non-blood brothers and sisters are hundreds of times stranger than these strange things.

Dugu Bo relied on his keen sense of smell to easily distinguish the ingredients of the powder sprinkled by Lanta.

These are common herbs that can be purchased at slightly larger pharmacies. The taste after the combination is not pungent, but the effect of driving away low-level soul beasts is very good, and this affordable style must come from the Martial Spirit Palace.

Thinking about the relationship between Wuhun Hall and Gu You, Dugu Bo was relieved.

The Wuhun Hall has a great cause, and the Five Emperors' Decree and the Soul Guide have been given, and there is no shortage of this medicine to drive away soul beasts.

After a short period of surprise, a smile appeared on Dugu Bo's old face, and he sighed that Lanta really deserved to be a disciple that Gu You was proud of. This clear self-awareness ability alone is stronger than ninety percent of soul masters.

Dugu Bo is not stupid, he only stood on a high place for a long time, and he didn't realize the difference between himself and Lanta at the first time.

It has been too long since Dugu Bo became famous and became a famous and powerful man in the mainland, so long that he almost forgot how the weak soul master thought.

No matter how bad the frontal combat effectiveness is, the Titled Douluo is also a Titled Douluo, and it is also the combat power that ranks at the top of the continent. In Dugu Bo's eyes, the Sunset Forest without a 100,000-year-old soul beast may be no different from the back garden of his own manor.

Even the back garden infested by Dugu Goose is a little more "dangerous" to some extent.

In Dugu Bo's opinion, the night of the surge in danger is probably just a little more mosquitoes and a little more active. But for the Great Soul Master, too many of these "mosquitoes" can obviously easily take their lives.

Therefore, if you have the necessary materials for exploration, staying away from the night and waiting for the sunrise before going deep into the soul beast forest is obviously the most reasonable choice.

can give options other than "forward", Dugu Bo is very sympathetic to low-level soul masters. If it was a Titled Douluo who didn't know his name but played with a hammer, he wouldn't even have a second path in his mind besides moving forward.

Back off? What is that, there is no retreat in Lao Tzu's dictionary.

Except that the wife is gone.

Dugu Bo began to close his eyes and wait for the sun to rise, and Lanta officially challenged the impossible task given by Gu You.

The night was calm, there was no evil soul master who suddenly came out, and there were no powerful soul beasts that broke through the barrier of medicinal powder. When the sky lit up slightly, Lanta took the initiative to walk out of the shelter and practiced the Purple Pole Demon Pupil, the eye practice technique that Tang San had taught her, as usual.

The Purple Pole Demon Pupil is good at anything, it is the Purple Qi from the East used for cultivation that is fleeting, and once the time passes, the Purple Pole Demon Pupil will not be able to practice.

Dugu Bo opened his eyes at the same time as Lanta walked out of the shelter, and he could see the whole process of Lanta's cultivation of the Purple Pole Demon Pupil clearly.

For the Purple Pole Demon Pupil, Dugu Bo didn't think too much. Just practice eye exercises, and the old man doesn't want to (stiffen his face).

Because the process of acquaintance has changed, Tang San and Dugu Bo, who have not been taken captive, get along very happily. Dugu Bo's reserve in the face of the immortal grass made Tang San decide to believe in his character, and chose not to deliberately avoid it when cultivating the Purple Pole Demon Pupil.

Because of this, it didn't take long for Dugu Bo to know that Tang San had a very unique eye practice technique.

The practice of cultivating the eyes is simply unheard of in the Douluo Continent.

The cultivation method of looking directly at the sun was very strange, but because it was so rare, in private, Dugu Bo, who was a little interested, still tapped on the side to ask Tang San about this exercise.

The result is also obvious, even if you are an old poison, what you get is nothing more than the three words "do not spread it".

Dugu Bo, who didn't get the cultivation method of the Purple Pole Demon Pupil, was not angry, it was normal for this secret method not to be taught to outsiders, and those who were stingy didn't even teach their own daughters. If you and Tang San are not related, it's better not to think too much.

Dugu Bo only wanted to know now why Lanta, who had finished cultivating the Purple Pole Demon Pupil, had entered the shelter again.

Is she going to get some sleep?

Dugu Bo wanted to see what Lanta was doing inside, but he felt that it was not good to do so. With Dugu Bo's cultivation, a thin layer of branches and fallen leaves cannot play a protective role at all, and it can also ensure that Lanta cannot find it.

If it's someone you don't know, you can see it, can you still do anything with him? But now, even if you don't care about the relationship between Gu You and Tang San, it is also Dugu Yan's classmate.

Just when Dugu Bo was struggling with whether to knock on the door to remind him, Lanta walked out of it. The main reason why she returned to the shelter was to change her gear.

Everyone has a love for beauty. In the safety of Heaven Dou City, Ranta prefers to wear some beautiful but impractical costumes in addition to training. But now in the Sunset Forest, Ranta has changed her clothes into a tried-and-true hunter's outfit before she has even set off.

Long-sleeved jackets and trousers that are not attractive but easy to move around can effectively insulate the effects of poisonous insects and weeds that are difficult to detect. There are more than a dozen pockets on the whole body, containing all kinds of small props for use at any time. The camouflage made of various green and brown combinations, I believe that even soul beasts are difficult to find her trace by pure vision.

In addition to changing her outfit, Lanta also puts on "gear".

The light and stiff gauntlets cover the back of the hand to the elbow, and are intrigued with brilliant patterns. A short knife is tied to his right leg, which can be easily pulled out and slashed with a wave of his hand. A huge quiver half a man tall was slung cross-body behind his back, and at a cursory count, it contained at least thirty arrows.

In Dugu Bo's opinion, the current Lanta is not so much a soul master as an archer in the army, after all, a soul master will not wear these useless things.

Ready to go, Lanta couldn't help but say, turning around and kicking the disposable shelter apart.

Animals can tell if there are humans who have walked recently through simple traces, and soul beasts that have lived for decades can obviously do the same. After briefly masking the signs of activity, Ranta pulled up her mask to cover her mouth and nose, and walked in the direction of the eyes of ice and fire.

Compared to the slightly muddy and humid subtropical forests near Notting City and Holy Soul Village, Sunset Forest is closer to the temperate forests of the ancient past.

The trees are tall and stout, with a wide canopy that obscures the sky, and only a little sunlight falls to the ground through the gaps in the leaves. There are all kinds of shrubs on the ground, and the blue silver grass, the most abundant plant on the mainland, has become rare here. There is almost a fault between the canopy and the shrubs, and at a glance there is no shadow of the subtropical forest clinging to the trunks or hanging in mid-air.

The good news is that you don't have to worry about a vine entangled around you as you walk, the bad news is that there are too many dry fallen leaves on the ground, and every step makes a sound.

In order to reduce the movement, Lanta has spared no effort to use the ghost to rush away. But there are no sanitation workers in the forest, and there are so many fallen leaves that cover the entire ground.

Although the ghost is exquisite, there are so many fallen leaves on the ground that it is inevitable that your feet will step on the fallen leaves, making a subtle sound.

Not far away, on the trunk of a fallen rotting tree, several rat-shaped soul beasts about the size of cats, with hideous faces and a body of moist light blue fur, lowered their heads and dug insects to eat. When you hear the sound, your ears move slightly, and you look up sensitively to observe your surroundings.

This kind of soul beast is called a giant mouse, and it seems to be huge, but this individual size is only the appearance of a ten-year soul beast. Under their ferocious and terrifying appearance, their combat effectiveness is only slightly higher than that of the same level of soft bone rabbits.

When they looked up, they saw that it was a terrifying Homo erectus that made the noise. So he lowered his head as if he didn't care, and continued to look for insects in the trunk to fill his stomach.

Sure enough, the soul beasts here are all accustomed to the existence of humans. ’

In just half an hour, Lanta had already disturbed eight different soul beasts. Seeing this completely different performance from the other soul beast forests once again made Lanta more confident in her own judgment.

The low-age soul beasts here are not afraid of people.

In other soul beast forests, even if there are almost no soul masters hunting souls, the first reaction of low-age soul beasts when they see humans is to run away. But here, the low-age soul beasts seem to have become accustomed to the existence of humans. There are eight kinds of soul beasts, even if Lanta walks past them, they are just seriously doing what they are doing, and at most they will look up at you.

Two different attitudes that make Ranta think of chickens kept in a chicken coop and chickens raised in the open field.

Perhaps it is because there are too many soul masters in Heaven Dou City, and they basically have the status of nobles, and these nobles usually do not choose to hunt for ten-year soul rings, so the low-age soul beasts here are accustomed to the traces of human activities, and their attitude towards humans has changed from wary to casual.

In this way, Lanta, who decided to ignore the ten-year soul beasts and avoid the hundred-year soul beasts, soon passed through the edge of the Sunset Forest and entered the outer circle of a large number of high-age hundred-year soul beasts and thousand-year soul beasts.

"Hahaha, don't try to run!"

It had only been ten minutes after entering the outer circle, and a slightly frantic female voice suddenly sounded. A fireball flew from the left, flying in front of Lanta less than a meter away.

"I've been looking for you for a whole week, and I'll become my fourth soul ring!"
