The pressure brought to Ye Zhiqiu by the Titled Douluo was a bit too much. Jian Douluo just looked at him calmly, but Ye Zhiqiu had some cold sweat on his forehead, even though Jian Douluo seemed to have no ill intentions.
Ye Zhiqiu quickly clenched his right fist and placed it against his left chest, performing the standard etiquette of the Douluo Continent. He said, "Senior, I am doing this simply because I do not have the token to enter. There is absolutely no other intention. Thank you for leading me in. I will leave now."
After saying this, Ye Zhiqiu turned around and left without any hesitation.
People like Jian Douluo are too dangerous. He has a cold face as if everyone owes him 5 million. Who knows if you will be suddenly hit by a sword if you follow him. Now that we have entered the Soul Hunting Forest, it is better to stay away from him.
Jian Douluo had no intention of stopping Ye Zhiqiu from leaving, he just watched indifferently.
He was a little curious about Ye Zhiqiu, curious that such a young child would dare to enter the Soul Hunting Forest alone. However, this curiosity was not enough to make Ye Zhiqiu stay.
After the three of them separated not far from the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest, Ye Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief and set off alone.
Although it would be easy to follow Jian Douluo and the others, his own secrets might also be exposed, unless he planned to just casually make do with a hundred-year spirit ring. However, Ye Zhiqiu obviously would not do such a thing to ruin his future.
Besides, in the original novel, Sword Douluo Chen Xin has a bad temper towards outsiders. He always feels like a time bomb next to Ye Zhiqiu.
Now that everyone is going their own way and there is no threat from high-level combat power, isn't this small Soul Hunting Forest just a place for Ye Zhiqiu to play in?
Although this Soul Hunting Forest was a man-made environment for soul beasts, jointly raised by the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall, it was also transformed from an old, sparsely populated forest, and thus still had the flavor of a primeval forest.
Various towering trees stood there, unknown wild flowers grew everywhere, and vines were wrapped around like dragons. A fresh scent of nature blew in his face, making Ye Zhiqiu a little intoxicated and slightly excited.
Walking alone in the dense forest, there were several paths trampled by predecessors. Ye Zhiqiu walked along the path and went deep into the Soul Hunting Forest.
The Soul Hunting Forest is divided into three areas. There are basically no soul beasts in the outermost area. There are only some ordinary wild beasts, such as little rabbits with undeveloped intelligence. This is also the entrance to the Soul Hunting Forest.
If you walk a little further, you can encounter some ten-year-old soul beasts, and occasionally one that is a hundred years old.
The middle area is mostly populated by hundred-year-old soul beasts, and this is also the place of choice for most soul warriors who want to become soul masters.
If you want to find thousand-year soul beasts, you must go deep into the Soul Hunting Forest. As for ten-thousand-year soul beasts, it is still unknown whether there are ten-thousand-year soul beasts in this Soul Hunting Forest. I heard that the Spirit Hall sends high-level soul masters to clean it up every year.
If Ye Zhiqiu wanted to find a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in this Soul Hunting Forest, the chances would be comparable to winning the lottery.
Ye Zhiqiu was very unfortunate. He came in with excitement and really wanted to find a soul beast to practice with, and kill it to see what its soul rings looked like.
However, Ye Zhiqiu had been walking for nearly half an hour and had not seen a single animal. He only saw some ordinary wild beasts, which made him lose interest at all.
Just as Ye Zhiqiu was passing by a bamboo with a depressed look on his face, he stopped.
"Hmm? A weak fluctuation of soul power?"
Ye Zhiqiu sensed it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he found that it was emitted from the inconspicuous bamboo he had just passed by. He kept his upper body still, stepped back with his legs, and took a few steps back.
After coming to stand next to the bamboo, Ye Zhiqiu showed a kind smile, "Brother, you look really low-key."
Lone Bamboo:.
"Well, I've never seen what the soul ring of a soul beast looks like after its death. How about you show it to me?" Ye Zhiqiu scratched his head embarrassedly, looking at the solitary bamboo that was about ten years old with a smile on his face, as if he was talking to himself.
Gu Zhu: Don't come over here~~~
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. Your selfless spirit has deeply moved me. I've decided to give you a decent way to die." Ye Zhiqiu continued to talk to himself, tilting his head, as if thinking about something.
Then he left.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This man was really scary. Fortunately, he finally left.
I'm a lonely bamboo who's been cultivating for ten years. Today, I was almost killed. Wow, wow, that's terrifying. When I reach a thousand years of cultivation and grow legs and can run, I'll definitely report the explosion. Oh my god, why did that terrifying human come back again? And with a bunch of dry firewood and a little rabbit? Why do I have a bad feeling? Lone Bamboo began to doubt Zhu Sheng.
Half an hour later.
Ye Zhiqiu held a bamboo pole in his left hand, on which was skewered a roasted, shiny rabbit, and a bamboo jar in his right hand, which contained clean water with a bamboo fragrance. He was leaning on the main pole of the solitary bamboo that had been liberated, enjoying the delicious food.
A circle of white soul ring floated beside Ye Zhiqiu, looking star-studded and very beautiful.
The soul ring continued to shed light downwards, looking extremely gorgeous.
After the soul beast dies, the soul ring can only exist for one hour. Now the time has come and it is dissipating.
"Hiss, this Soul Hunting Forest is such a great place. The rabbit meat is not only fragrant but also chewy. Paired with this secret spice, the taste is even more refreshing." Ye Zhiqiu finished gnawing on the last rabbit head with a satisfied look on his face, threw the bone away, wiped the corner of his mouth, stood up and began to go deeper into the Soul Hunting Forest.
His target was the center of the Soul Hunting Forest, where there were more thousand-year soul beasts, which would give him a place to get his first soul ring. Perhaps with luck, he could encounter a ten-thousand-year soul beast that had hidden itself from the Spirit Hall, and thus obtain his second soul ring.
Ye Zhiqiu hadn't worried about being defeated. If he did encounter a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast, he would upgrade his Sharingan to a Mangekyō on the spot. If he didn't, he planned to use the 15,000 negative emotion points to purchase the improved essences of the Two-Tail and the Three-Tail. With three powerful add-ons, his physical abilities would improve even faster.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is different from the ordinary Sharingan. This is a qualitative change. The price is directly increased from 3,000 negative emotion values of the three-magatama to 10,000 negative emotion values. The improved origin of the two-tailed Nekomata is 6,000 negative emotion values, and the improved origin of the three-tailed Isobu is 7,000 negative emotion values.
It was because the negative emotion value was not enough that the choice was so difficult, forcing Ye Zhiqiu to calculate carefully.
As Ye Zhiqiu was hiking deeper into the Soul Hunting Forest, Jian Douluo and Ning Rongrong had already reached the middle section of the forest. Most of the beasts here were century-old soul beasts, which were more suitable for Ning Rongrong. They were looking for pure power-type soul beasts.
The two of them were exactly where Ye Zhiqiu had to go.
