Chapter 213 Return to the Stars
Xian Lin'er's gaze first swept over the slightly embarrassed Xuan Zi, and then her gaze fell on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
"This time, I'll accompany you to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"To prevent any accidents, Elder Xuan will also be there."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were only Xuanzi, he would never agree under any circumstances.
Even though he already possessed combat power comparable to a Title Douluo, he was still far from being invincible.
The Star Dou Great Forest is the territory of soul beasts, and no matter how strong he is, he wouldn't dare say that he can roam freely there.
Xuanzi seemed to be under some kind of "curse".
When he leads a team, crises that wouldn't normally occur always seem to arise.
Last time it was the corpse explosion of the evil spirit master, what about this time?
Who knows what kind of trouble might arise next?
Therefore, Huo Yuhao dared not gamble, nor could he afford to.
With Xian Lin'er here, as long as we don't enter the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, there shouldn't be any problems.
Because of Huo Yuhao's talent and ability in soul tools, he often went to the soul tool department when he was in the academy.
Therefore, he was quite familiar with Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department.
Xian Lin'er is meticulous and thoughtful, which is completely different from Xuan Zi's carefree and casual nature.
With her around, Huo Yuhao felt much more at ease.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Xian Lin'er and Xuan Zi, then bowed slightly and said, "I'll have to trouble Dean and Elder Xuan this time."
Xuanzi remained silent, his slightly aged face revealing no emotion.
Xianlin smiled and said, "Alright, let's set off then."
Although Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong are not yet able to fly, they have a flying soul tool, so they don't have to rely on their own two legs to travel.
Four figures streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, quickly arriving at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Each Soul Hunting event is actually a training exercise for Soul Masters.
The reason why the academy does not directly send strong experts to hunt for soul rings for the students, but instead lets the students enter the forest themselves, is to let them hone themselves in actual combat.
Learn to observe, learn to judge, and learn to survive in a crisis.
So the four of them stopped at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest and did not continue to fly deeper.
Once inside the forest, the light became noticeably dimmer.
The towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, their dense canopies layered upon each other, cutting the sunlight into countless tiny spots that scattered across the ground.
The fresh scent of the forest vegetation mingled with the decaying smell of fallen leaves underfoot, creating a unique aroma.
Huo Yuhao activated his mental detection sharing, and that invisible mental power surged out like a tide, spreading in all directions.
Everything within a radius of several kilometers was precisely projected into the minds of the four people.
Although everyone knows the effects of Huo Yuhao's soul skills, they are still amazed every time they experience them in person.
That feeling of "having everything under control" is truly irresistible.
With Huo Yuhao's mental detection, they could clearly know where and what kind of soul beasts were, and easily avoid the beast pack.
Therefore, the four of them moved forward very quickly and soon broke through the outer perimeter and entered the mixed zone.
The mixed zone is dominated by thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the density and strength of soul beasts have been greatly increased.
Those powerful soul beasts have a strong sense of territory and show no mercy to intruders.
The four of them slowed down considerably, taking each step carefully and not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Wang Dong's fourth soul ring requires a light-attribute soul beast, and there should be a suitable soul beast for her in this mixed zone.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao has now begun a "circular" search in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"The Sunfire Sparrow, with its dual attributes of light and fire, should be suitable for Wang Dong."
Xian Lin'er's voice rang in the ears of the four of them. She had spotted a soul beast several hundred meters away.
As soon as her voice rang out, everyone's attention focused on one spot.
The bark of a sturdy ancient tree is rough and covered with moss.
On a branch that extends outwards, a tiny bird, no bigger than the palm of your hand, stands quietly.
Its feathers, like molten gold, shimmered with dazzling light in the dappled light and shadow.
It occasionally chirps, its call clear and melodious like the tinkling of wind chimes, while its body bursts forth with golden light, turning the surrounding leaves golden.
Despite its small size, it is quite powerful.
The Sunfire Sparrow is a soul beast with both light and fire attributes. It is as fast as lightning and has astonishing attack power.
If one could hunt it down and use it as a spirit ring, the power of the spirit skill would surely be astonishing.
A thoughtful look flashed in Xuanzi's earthy yellow eyes before he said, "Judging from the color of its feathers, it should be between eight and nine thousand years old."
He was experienced and had a keen eye; he could roughly determine the age of a soul beast from its physical characteristics.
As he spoke, Xuanzi looked at Wang Dong, since it was Wang Dong who needed the soul ring, and the final decision was in his hands.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong shook his head, his large, pinkish-blue eyes showing no hesitation whatsoever.
"My fourth spirit ring must be at least ten thousand years old; anything less will not be considered."
It's normal that Wang Dong chose a thousand-year spirit ring for his fourth spirit ring, which exceeded the time limit.
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more, he just nodded and continued forward.
His spiritual power spread in all directions like an invisible net, continuing to search for other light-attribute soul beasts.
The Sunfire Sparrow is good, but it's not old enough, so I have to give up on it.
Finding the right soul beast for yourself sometimes depends on luck.
The distribution of spirit beasts is unpredictable, and the matching of attributes and age is even more unpredictable.
Next, Huo Yuhao circled around the edge of the mixed zone, but the result was disappointing.
Either the attributes are suitable but the age limit is insufficient, or the age limit is just right but the attributes do not match.
Occasionally, when he encountered two similar ones, Wang Dong would complain that the soul beasts were too weak.
After spending most of the day, they ended up with nothing.
Hunting souls in the Star Dou Great Forest is a very energy-consuming activity.
Staying vigilant, continuing to move forward, and being prepared to deal with emergencies all require a lot of mental and physical strength.
The four of them found an open space and sat down to rest while taking out the food they had prepared in advance.
Xuanzi's martial soul has a flaw, requiring him to eat irregularly.
But he had been holding back from eating, and now he was wolfing down his food without a care for appearances.
Within the shared range of mental detection, nothing unexpected happened, and everything was calm.
But Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped. His hand holding the water bottle hovered in mid-air, and his gaze narrowed slightly.
If he were to unleash his full mental power, it would naturally cover more than just a radius of several thousand meters.
Therefore, the actual distance he detected was wider than what the other three perceived.
Just now, he sensed a soul beast rushing towards their direction.
It was moving at an astonishing speed, rampaging through the forest.
And this soul beast happens to be of the light attribute!
