Chapter 132 Core Area
Lu Mingfei heard a breathing sound like howling wind, followed by the breath of someone who hadn't brushed their teeth in tens of thousands of years.
"Brother, it's a misunderstanding. I was just passing by, not here to steal your midnight snack," Lu Mingfei said as he backed away.
Under normal circumstances, with his current dragon-transformed speed at the quasi-Soul King level, he could easily retreat even against ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
But the situation we are facing is quite unusual.
An eagle-like spirit beast whose name he didn't know was tearing apart a snake-like spirit beast that was thicker than a water vat and feasting on it.
This is clearly a scene from their late-night snack event.
Perhaps feeling a bit tired of these millennia-old spicy snacks, this eagle-like spirit beast was probably planning to treat Lu Mingfei like a pickled cucumber or some other appetizer, to have a fresh bite to eat.
"I'm not even enough to fill your teeth, is it really necessary!" Lu Mingfei cursed. He really didn't want to fight, he just wanted to leave quietly.
After all, this is already in the middle layer of the Star Dou Great Forest, and who knows what kind of monsters might come out to take advantage of us.
Therefore, his contingency plan was to avoid taking action if possible, and to escape if possible.
However, this plan obviously won't work against flying spirit beasts. These spirit beasts have a very wide range of activity. If he simply tries to escape, he will easily be remembered and targeted, and there will be no peace in the days to come.
So all we can do is teach them a lesson.
Lu Mingfei removed the crystal mask, revealing a ferocious iron face with a bronze luster and golden eyes that shone like molten fire.
Just as the giant eagle was preparing to flap its wings and unleash wind blades, a strange terror suddenly rose in its mind, for the most terrifying monster in the world had indeed appeared before its eyes.
Dragon's Might!
A palpable sense of majesty and a piercing warning roared violently in the giant eagle's brain, reminding it that this was—absolute danger.
Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts possess intelligence comparable to that of humans, but as powerful life forms that have endured countless tribulations, their greatest trump card is their intuition, which is many times more acute than that of humans.
The brain immediately issued the command to escape, but the cerebrum quickly realized that the body had lost control.
Like a hen, it stumbled and fell to the ground, but it couldn't even muster the strength to struggle.

The reason Lu Mingfei dared to venture into the Star Dou Great Forest alone was not only because of the instantaneous power of the dragon's might over the soul beasts.
He had tested it in Sunset Forest, and even against some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, this suppression was still very effective.
However, out of fear of the unknown Star Dou Great Forest, he decided to use Dragon Might as little as possible. If it weren't for the fact that flying soul beasts were so troublesome, he wouldn't have wanted to expose himself.
After only two seconds of eye contact, he withdrew his golden eyes and flapped his wings to leave. But for this soul beast, tonight was clearly a terrifying movie that touched its very soul.
However, he didn't have time to worry about the mental health of a soul beast, and immediately continued his search for dragon-type soul beasts as planned.
Thanks to his efforts, the entire northeast corner of the Star Dou Great Forest was in complete chaos tonight.

Three days later.
Beside a pool in a vast, lush forest, a black gorilla, as tall as a mountain, waves its arms, calling to its companions in the pool.
"What happened?" A huge bull's head emerged from the pool, its lantern-like eyes emitting a dark red glow in the darkness.
The slender snake's neck protruding above the water looked quite terrifying.
"These past few days, the habitats of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the middle and deep layers have been frequently disturbed by humans. It seems that human soul masters are searching for something, and I'm afraid they'll be approaching the Lake of Life in a few days." The Titan Giant Ape rarely showed a hint of fatigue. It was responsible for managing the territories of most of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the surrounding area, ensuring that they did not disrupt the order. In the past few days, it had received more complaints than in the past few hundred years.
Because of this uninvited guest, there have been many more incidents of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts fighting across territories.
"Aren't there plenty of human soul masters coming to look for soul rings? What's the big deal? Unless it's a human soul master coming to our door, or it's about Sister Xiaowu, don't bother me next time." The Azure Bull Python was unimpressed. It shrank back and sank back to the bottom of the lake. For them, it was commonplace for humans to become powerful and come to hunt souls while they were taking a nap.
Titan Ape scratched his head, still feeling that something was amiss. According to the answers from the disturbed soul beasts, the human soul master seemed to only have four soul rings, and was probably only there for the fifth ring.
But now hundreds of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have been disturbed. If that human is simply looking for a soul ring, how picky or unlucky must he be?
Standing high in the sky, Lu Mingfei's golden eyes blazed. The night was pitch black, and the cold wind filled his ears. The dry, icy air made him sneeze.
He searched for four days, moving from the middle layer to the deep layer, but there was absolutely no trace of any dragon-type soul beasts.
He quickly realized that he had been working in the wrong direction, and that searching in the middle management circles for a long time would probably only lead to nothing.
The status of a ten-thousand-year-old dragon-type soul beast is probably higher than he imagined, meaning it is closer to the core area.
To find them, he had no choice but to risk entering the core area where soul beasts that might be hundreds of thousands of years old might roam.
So tonight he chose to sneak around at high altitudes to scout, and unexpectedly he actually saw something.
The first item in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Library's Soul Beast Encyclopedia is the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, which has been sighted multiple times by Soul Masters. There is also a Minotaur with a bull's head and a snake's body next to it.
From the perspective of the Golden Eyes, the soul power fluctuations of these two soul beasts were even more terrifying than those of Tang Hao, a Title Douluo.
It's probably a legendary 100,000-year-old soul beast.
"That bull-headed, snake-bodied soul beast seems to have some dragon blood. I can remember it for later." Lu Mingfei took notes, considering it an unexpected bonus tonight.
Seeing the route the Titan Ape took, Lu Mingfei immediately chose the opposite direction and began searching. This was definitely the so-called core area. He refused to believe that he couldn't find any dragon-type soul beasts here.
Half an hour later, a spirit beast resembling a shield-armored dragon emerged from a valley, each step carrying a power that shook the earth.
It was patrolling its territory as usual when it suddenly saw a black figure descend from the sky and land in front of it.
However, before it could react, the world before it was completely enveloped by golden majesty.
Crimson light flickered on Lu Mingfei's scales, and an invisible domain expanded instantly, swirling with gray currents of energy.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
The Azure Bull Python shuddered in its sleep, as if it were dreaming of something terrifying.
Meanwhile, somewhere within the Lake of Life, a golden eye suddenly opened.
