Chapter 25: Golden Wolf

Chapter 25: Golden Wolf
The Xingdou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest in the entire Douluo Continent, bar none. It is also a place that all soul masters yearn for but also tremble with fear.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, soul beast resources are extremely rich. Basically all land soul beasts are there, and even some extremely rare soul beasts are also there. It is also the only soul beast forest among the several large soul beast forests on land that has hundred thousand year level soul beasts (except for the frozen forest in the far north).

But at the same time, the Star Dou Great Forest can be said to be full of dangers, because there are too many soul beast resources. Various soul beast attacks emerge in an endless stream, and it is difficult to defend against. Snakes, insects, rats and ants are basically countless. Even if you encounter a soul beast that looks very weak, it may cause fatal harm to a person. Even a Titled Douluo is in danger of falling.

The entire Star Forest is extremely vast, with a length and width of almost one thousand kilometers. It is divided into multiple areas. From the outer layer to the core, it is divided into three clearly distributed large areas, including a 200-kilometer outer area, a 500-kilometer mixed area, and a 200-kilometer core area. The central fifty kilometers of the core area is called the life restricted area.

The outer area is generally inhabited by soul beasts less than ten thousand years old, while the mixed area has soul beasts of one hundred years, one thousand years, and ten thousand years old, but there will not be soul beasts that are too old. The core area is basically inhabited by soul beasts over thirty thousand years old. No one has ever explored the Life Forbidden Zone, but it is estimated that it should be the Lake of Life.

With Yang Ping'an's current strength, he can at most wander around the outer area, which is generally populated by low-level soul beasts.

However, Yang Ping'an would never dare to enter the mixed zone, because there were countless ten thousand year soul beasts there. Normal ten thousand year soul beasts basically had the strength of Soul King or even Soul Emperor level, which was far from being something a mere soul master could provoke.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Yang Ping'an quickly summoned the Purple Gold Mastiff. In this forest, the Purple Gold Mastiff's sense of smell was still the main method of detection.

It has to be said that there are indeed many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. In just half a day, Yang Ping'an has encountered six or seven hundred-year-old soul beasts and two thousand-year-old soul beasts, and each of them looks very powerful.

Thanks to the Purple Gold Mastiff's keen sense of smell, Yang Ping'an was able to dodge it.

But even so, he encountered danger many times and was chased by various soul beasts. You should know that the sense of smell of some high-level soul beasts is relatively sensitive.

After staying in the Star Dou Great Forest for five days, Yang Ping'an, panting, hid in a very lush tree. The tree was a hundred meters tall, with lush branches and leaves that blocked out the sun.

In particular, trees have a relatively strong breath of life, which can cover up their own breath.

On the ground, there were four golden-backed wolves wandering around, as if they were looking for Yang Ping'an, and their eyes were extremely sinister, as if they were looking for prey.

The Purple Golden Mastiff had long been called back into Yang Ping'an's body. Although Yang Ping'an used the wire to quickly climb to the top of the tree, his arms were still shaking.

About half a day ago, the Purple Gold Mastiff suddenly became excited in the Star Dou Great Forest, as if it smelled something particularly good. It quickly searched for a cave, and found a newly born golden-backed wolf in the cave.

Although this golden-backed wolf was just born, it looks extremely ferocious. It has revealed its vicious nature just after birth. It is worthy of being a top-grade wolf-attributed soul beast.

But unfortunately, before Yang Ping'an and the Purple Gold Mastiff could think of what to do with the golden-backed wolf cub, a wolf howl was heard in the distance, and the sound seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

Yang Ping'an felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he might have found a wolf's den, but was discovered by a golden-backed wolf.

Yang Ping'an ignored the reluctance in the Purple Golden Mastiff's eyes and prepared to escape quickly with the Purple Golden Mastiff.

Wolf-like soul beasts have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and a very fast reaction speed. After just one howl, many more howls were heard in the Xingdou Great Forest. Yang Ping'an was terrified, and it seemed that he had provoked a wolf den.

In the following time, the seven golden-backed wolves chased Yang Ping'an all the way. Even though Yang Ping'an used crossbows and traps to kill three weaker ones, the remaining four golden-backed wolves became even more bloodthirsty. Their eyes were blood red. They didn't even care about their lives in order to chase Yang Ping'an.

There were a total of seven golden-backed wolves chasing Yang Ping'an this time. Four of them were thousand-year-old golden-backed wolves, and the other three were a hundred years old, but all of them were more than five hundred years old.

Especially the most majestic golden-backed wolf, which was more than four meters long and looked like a four-thousand-year-old soul beast.

At this time, Yang Ping'an was hiding on a huge toon tree. Toon trees are generally quite peculiar and are the favorite of many herbivorous soul beasts, especially those with rich breath of life and rich fragrance, which can block the detection of the golden-backed wolf.

At this time, Yang Ping'an had exhausted all his strength. He was sweating all over, his hands and feet were trembling, and there was even a half-foot long scratch on his back. The entire wound was simply wrapped with a cloth strip and simply applied some herbs to prevent bleeding and prevent the blood from attracting other soul beasts.

Just in the past half day, so many golden-backed wolves were as fast as lightning, and they could even use tactics to attack. It was really hard to imagine.

Yang Ping'an had just had a narrow escape from death, luckily he didn't provoke the Wind Demon Wolf this time, otherwise he would have been doomed.

As for the three golden-backed wolves that were killed, one was killed by shooting it in the eye with a crossbow, but the crossbow also needs to be replaced with arrows, and there is no time for this. Moreover, it can only be used against hundred-year-old soul beasts. A thousand-year-old golden-backed wolf can avoid fatal injuries when facing a crossbow.

The other one was killed in a trap, but this could only kill the hundred-year-old golden-backed wolf that was chasing in the front. The thousand-year-old golden-backed wolf on the opposite side was extremely cunning and had a very high IQ. It would not fall into the trap at all and actually avoided several traps that he had dug recently.

The last one was killed with desperate use of soul bone skills, but it also left a wound on its back.

The four thousand-year-old golden-backed wolves in front of them were like a nightmare. They stayed on the tree for a full four hours before slowly leaving.

Yang Ping'an finally breathed a sigh of relief and simply ate some dry food on the tree to restore his strength. With Yang Ping'an's strength alone, he didn't dare to make a fire or cook in the Xingdou Great Forest. These actions were tantamount to seeking death.

Yang Ping'an hid in the tree for a whole day and two nights, and only left the tree on the third day.

Night is the home turf of wolves, and Yang Ping'an dared not doubt the strength and intelligence of the wolf king at all.

It was not until the early morning of the third day that Yang Ping'an left in the opposite direction of the group of golden-backed wolves. With his own strength, he was not able to seek revenge on them.

Before leaving, Yang Ping'an started to attack the Purple Gold Mastiff, and his little eyes looked quite aggrieved.

Finally, Yang Pingan said gloomily: "If you want to find a soul beast, find some reliable ones, preferably some solitary ones. Don't look for a group of soul beasts that I can't defeat."
