Star Luo City is located in the northern part of the Star Luo Empire, and the place Ji Lin chose to hunt Spirit Beasts is in the Star Dou Great Forest, which borders the Tianhun Empire in the northern part of the Star Luo Empire.
In this forest, which is almost the size of a province, live a wide variety of Spirit Beasts, including super existences.
The Star Dou Great Forest is one of the most famous Spirit Beast habitats on the Douluo Continent.
It is a huge primeval forest with complex terrain, including wetlands, swamps, and more.
The Spirit Beasts there are also extremely terrifying; the closer one gets to the center of the forest, the stronger the Spirit Beasts become.
There are even 100,000-year Spirit Beasts inside, and any Spirit Master, as long as their strength is sufficient and their luck is good, can find the most suitable spirit ring for themselves there.
It is filled with various powerful Spirit Beasts, venomous insects, and deeply hidden plant Spirit Beasts, making it extremely dangerous.
Every year, a large number of Spirit Masters die during the process of hunting Spirit Beasts, becoming fertilizer for the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Spirit Master’s world has divided the Star Dou Great Forest into four areas based on its Spirit Beasts.
The Outer Zone, Mixed Zone, Core Zone, and Great兇之地.
The outermost twenty kilometers of the Star Dou Great Forest is the Outer Zone.
Only some weak 10-year and 100-year Spirit Beasts are active here, and even 1,000-year Spirit Beasts are rare.
The Mixed Zone occupies about forty kilometers within a maximum radius of one hundred kilometers.
The Mixed Zone is relatively more dangerous; 10-year Spirit Beasts are not qualified to survive here.
This place is also where the most diverse and complete types of Spirit Beasts are distributed.
Most Spirit Masters can find suitable Spirit Beasts here.
The Mixed Zone is mainly composed of 100-year, 1,000-year, and 10,000-year Spirit Beasts.
Most of the 10,000-year Spirit Beasts are below 20,000 years, with 10,000-year Spirit Beasts being the most common.
In this area, 100-year Spirit Beasts are basically in groups, and are even more dangerous than some 10,000-year Spirit Beasts.
If you kill one, a group of Spirit Beasts will attack you, which, to some extent, makes them harder to provoke than those 10,000-year Spirit Beasts.
The innermost forty-kilometer radius is the Core Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although this area is quite vast, the number of Spirit Beasts living there is far less than in the Mixed Zone.
This is because only powerful Spirit Beasts can inhabit this area.
100-year Spirit Beasts are almost extinct in this area, and even 1,000-year Spirit Beasts are not numerous.
10,000-year Spirit Beasts are the main inhabitants, and occasionally, terrifying 100,000-year Spirit Beasts can be seen.
According to the Spirit Masters’ research, Spirit Beasts capable of possessing a small territory in this area must have a cultivation of at least 30,000 years.
The innermost ten-kilometer diameter of this Core Zone is called the Great兇之地, also known as the Forbidden Zone of Life.
In the not-so-detailed map of the Star Dou Great Forest, this area is always distinguished by a vivid blood-red color.
There, fierce beasts with cultivation exceeding 100,000 years live, and the strength of each fierce beast can make a Level 95 Super Douluo change color.
In any Spirit Beast habitat, Spirit Beasts living in the marginal areas are usually weak; this is common sense.
The Star Dou Great Forest is no exception.
The marginal areas of the Star Dou Great Forest are home to some 10-year Spirit Beasts and some weak 100-year Spirit Beasts.
Ordinary Spirit Masters without a background might choose these spirit rings for their first spirit ring for the sake of caution.
But Ji Lin and Red Kite clearly would not.
Red Kite directly ignored the taboo against flying above the Star Dou Great Forest and took Ji Lin directly past the Outer Zone, arriving directly at the Mixed Zone.
Along the way, no short-sighted flying Spirit Beasts came to seek death.
The reason for coming to the Mixed Zone is that the 100-year Spirit Beasts that can survive in the Mixed Zone are not simple, making it easier to find a suitable 100-year Spirit Beast for Ji Lin.
Red Kite led Ji Lin through the lush jungle, constantly searching for prey.
The Spirit Beasts they encountered along the way were all, without exception, scared away by a single glance from Red Kite.
Ji Lin, itching for a fight, reluctantly gave up his first battle.
There would be many opportunities for actual combat; it was better to obtain his first spirit ring first.
The two had been deep in the forest for over two hours.
Along the way, they only encountered Spirit Beasts of other attributes; not a single fire-attributed one was seen, and there was no trace of one suitable for Ji Lin.
Meanwhile, in a valley more than ten kilometers away from them, a group of people were cutting trees, setting up a pot, and making a fire to cook.
“Senior Sister, this is the fruit I saved for you.” A young boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen shyly handed the fruit in his hand to the white-clad woman in front of him.
“No need, I’m not hungry yet.
Give it to the others,” the white-clad woman shook her head and refused.
Upon hearing this, the boy dejectedly hid under a tree.
His companions nearby quickly came over to comfort him.
Ma Xiaotao, who was making a fire and cooking, saw this and curled her lips in disdain.
“With that, he still wants to pursue Sister Lexuan?
Keep trying for another ten thousand years.” Hearing this, Ling Luochen, who was sitting opposite Ma Xiaotao, glanced at Ma Xiaotao, then sat on the ground with her knees hugged, watching the burning wood in a daze, without saying a word.
And on a large tree dozens of meters away from them, a disheveled man held a gourd in one hand and a chicken leg in the other.
He bit into the chicken leg heartily, occasionally raising the gourd to drink deeply.
His leisurely appearance made it seem as if this was not the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, but rather an entertainment venue.
He took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth carelessly with his sleeve, and then yawned.
The origins of this group of people were actually extraordinary; every one of them was a top student from the Shrek Academy Inner Courtyard.
Those who could enter the Shrek Academy Inner Courtyard were considered rare prodigies in the outside world.
Regardless of what Shrek Academy was like, the quality of their students was indeed the best on the entire continent.
Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy could hardly compare to this.
Among this group, the leader was none other than Zhang Lexuan, known as the Inner Courtyard’s number one genius.
She was barely 18 years old this year but had already reached Level 70.
Her cultivation talent was hailed as the best in the Inner Courtyard in three thousand years.
Dressed in a white robe, with a beautiful and aloof appearance, she was Zhang Lexuan, one of the core disciples of the Shrek Academy Inner Courtyard.
At less than twenty years old, she was already a Spirit Saint.
This time, she led the team to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for her seventh spirit ring and officially become a Spirit Saint.
It is important to know that there is less than a year until this session of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.
Given Zhang Lexuan’s age, she will certainly be able to participate in this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.
It seems that Shrek Academy will once again dominate this session of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.
The one making a fire and cooking was the only fire-elemental Spirit Master in the team, Ma Xiaotao, one of the Outer Courtyard’s core disciples, who had broken through Level 40 at only 13 years old.
Ma Xiaotao had a slender and well-proportioned figure.
She wore a red veil over her face, so her appearance could not be seen, but from her eyebrows, it was clear that she was beautiful.
Her light pink eyes easily gave people a soul-stirring feeling.
Fortunately, her gaze was cold, which slightly suppressed that enchanting and captivating look.
At such a young age, she was already curvaceous.
Who knew what kind of enchantress she would become in a few more years?
Sitting opposite Ma Xiaotao was Ling Luochen, who was from the same class and also one of the Outer Courtyard’s core disciples.
Ling Luochen possessed a cool beauty, different from Ma Xiaotao’s fieryness, and also greatly different from Zhang Lexuan’s gentleness.
That cool, aloof, and plum-like feeling easily left a deep impression on people.
Her skin was very fair, and when she walked, it was as if she had no weight.
She had white hair and blue eyes, and wore a strange cat-ear headpiece.
Unlike Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen had just reached the Level 30 Spirit Elder realm.
Although her talent was also considered genius, it could not compare to Ma Xiaotao’s.
Due to her arrogant personality, Ling Luochen not only did not get along with Ma Xiaotao but was also not very friendly with others.
Only in front of Zhang Lexuan would she slightly rein in her arrogant personality.
Just then, two people walked from afar at the entrance of the valley.
Zhang Lexuan immediately became alert; it was not strange for anything to happen in the Star Dou Great Forest.
