Two days later, Du Busi set off with Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu.
On the carriage, Lu Xiao took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and handed it to Xiao Wu, “This is the Breath-Concealing Pill I refined.
Within seven days after taking it, no one will be able to see through your identity as a Soul Beast.”
Xiao Wu was filled with pleasant surprise and immediately pulled out the cork, letting a fresh and elegant medicinal fragrance spread all around.
“Can it really be completely hidden?”
Xiao Wu raised her head, her watery, big eyes carrying a trace of cautious apprehension.
After all, it was precisely because of this reason that she was caught by Du Busi and became Lu Xiao’s personal maid.
Of course, she was very satisfied with this, and even somewhat rejoiced!
Lu Xiao reached out and rubbed her head, saying firmly, “Rest assured, even if a Limit Douluo probes you up close, they will only be able to perceive the aura of a human Soul Master and won’t be able to spot a shred of abnormality.”
“Moreover, the medicinal properties are mild and have zero side effects on you.”
Xiao Wu nodded, and without any hesitation, she poured out a crystal-white, rounded Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.
The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered her mouth, turning into a wisp of cool and gentle medicinal power that instantly flowed through her limbs, bones, Meridians, and Bloodline.
Xiao Wu was slightly startled; she could clearly feel that the innate Bloodline aura belonging to a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast on her body was being completely enveloped, smoothed out, and concealed by a soft power.
At the very moment Xiao Wu’s hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast aura vanished—
Du Busi, who was driving the carriage, constricted his pupils slightly, unable to help marveling in his heart.
With his terrifying perception as a rank 98 Super Douluo, he was actually only able to catch a wisp of faint Soul Power, completely unable to sense a single fraction of a Soul Beast’s aura.
“You brat, just how many hidden skills do you still have?”
Du Busi looked at Lu Xiao, his tone full of emotion and gratification, “This old man has struck gold in this lifetime.”
But whenever he thought of the flocks of young women around Lu Xiao, he felt a splitting headache!
…
Five days later, after a long journey, the three of them finally arrived at the town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The setting sun fell, and the twilight grew thicker.
Du Busi brought the two to stay at an inn in the town: “We will rest here tonight and enter the forest tomorrow morning.”
Even separated by a great distance, Lu Xiao could clearly hear the roaring of Soul Beasts echoing one after another from the depths of the sea of trees.
Sitting inside the inn, Lu Xiao sighed with emotion: “As expected of the Star Dou Great Forest, one of the three most famous Soul Beast habitations on the Douluo Continent!
Even from this far away, one can feel the oppression of the Star Dou Great Forest!”
Hearing this, Du Busi spoke: “The terrain of the Star Dou Great Forest is complex, with wetlands and swamps spread everywhere.
The deeper you go, the stronger the Soul Beasts are.
Here, as long as one has sufficient strength and proper Opportunity, one can find the Soul Ring most compatible with themselves.”
As he spoke, he licked his lips and muttered: “There are quite a few delicious Soul Beasts inside, such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Sky-Shaking Roar, Heavenly Dragon Horse, Golden Tortoise…
All of them are top-tier delicacies.”
Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu exchanged glances, their mouths twitching.
Looking at Du Busi in front of them who only had thoughts of eating Soul Beasts, Lu Xiao was truly somewhat helpless.
Xiao Wu shrank her neck even more, rejoicing inwardly.
The three of them had a simple dinner and then returned to their respective rooms to rest.
The next day at dawn, the morning light was faintly bright, and a thin white mist wound between the mountain forests and the town.
The three got up early and packed their luggage.
Du Busi looked at Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu, instructing them: “The Star Dou Great Forest is not like the Soul Hunting Forest; even this old man has Ferocious beasts that he cannot defeat.
You must remember not to run around randomly and must stick close by my side!”
Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu nodded.
Having packed properly, the three immediately left the town and headed towards the boundless primitive sea of trees in the distance.
The closer they got to the Star Dou Great Forest, the heavier the oppressive feeling in the air became, with the gentle morning breeze carrying a faint scent of blood.
Looking from afar, the entire forest was filled with ancient trees reaching to the skies, with giant trees crisscrossing.
Distant and tyrannical roars of Soul Beasts rose one after another from the depths of the sea of trees.
When they first entered the forest, they could still see scattered groups of Soul Masters.
After going deeper for a distance, the surroundings were left with only sky-blocking ancient trees.
The dense forest isolated the external sounds, and only the roaring of Soul Beasts fighting echoed through the woods.
The three advanced all the way, without making a move against weak Soul Beasts.
The Star Dou Great Forest is divided into five major regions: the edge, outer circle, mixed circle, core circle, and Fierce Land.
The speed of the three was not slow, but even so, it took them a full three hours to reach the boundary between the outer circle and the mixed circle.
“Alright, let’s rest for a bit!”
The three of Lu Xiao sat down against a large tree, and Du Busi took out the jerky he had made, handing it to the two respectively.
Xiao Wu took small bites of the jerky and said softly, “Lu Xiao, we’ve walked for so long, yet it seems we haven’t encountered any suitable Soul Beasts.”
Lu Xiao smiled faintly and said, “Normal.
The outer parts of the Star Dou Great Forest are mostly ordinary Soul Beasts, and the top-tier scarce Soul Beasts are mostly hidden deep within the mixed circle or even the edge of the core circle.
Naturally, it’s not that easy to find them!”
His and Du Busi’s vision was extremely high; ordinary Soul Beasts could no longer satisfy the appetites of the two.
Lu Xiao had even set his sights on a super Soul Beast like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Ordinary Soul Beasts had single abilities, such as tending towards speed, attack, defense, and so on.
Yet the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was an anomaly; it excelled in both attack and defense, being completely a body of contradictions.
The Soul Ring of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was definitely the most compatible Soul Ring for Lu Xiao!
After a brief rest, the three set off once more, stepping straight into the range of the mixed circle.
Deeper inside, the forest trees grew even denser, and the branches of the sky-reaching ancient trees intersected, almost shielding the entire firmament.
The light in the forest was dim, and the scent of moisture and rotting leaves rushed toward them.
From time to time, massive Soul Beasts shuttled through the woods, and the ferocious auras piled up layer upon layer, making people feel extremely oppressed.
Relying on his super perception, Du Busi only led the two to precisely search for solitary Soul Beasts with exceptional attributes.
Yet after rushing about for a whole afternoon, they still gained nothing.
Time passed bit by bit, the light at the horizon gradually faded, gloomy twilight permeated the dense forest, and the temperature in the woods dropped rapidly.
The roars of Soul Beasts that were originally rising one after another gradually thinned out, and most Soul Beasts retreated to their nests to hibernate, plunging the forest into an atmosphere of silence yet hidden danger.
The setting sun completely descended, and nightfall enshrouded the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
The three stopped in their tracks and stood under a thick thousand-year-old ancient tree!
“It seems today’s luck is indeed a bit poor.”
Du Busi rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice, “At night, the Star Dou Great Forest is the most perilous.
We will rest for the night and continue going deeper tomorrow, getting close to the core circle to try our luck.”
Xiao Wu nodded gently, saying with some regret: “Clearly there are so many Soul Beasts here, yet the compatible ones are so few.”
Lu Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the slight disappointment in his heart, and looked toward the pitch-black, deep interior of the forest!
On the thick tree trunk, Du Busi carved out a tree hollow large enough to accommodate the three of them.
The three took out dry rations and jerky, washing them down with spring water with some difficulty.
After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu fell peacefully asleep.
