Chapter 6 Sunset Forest

The carriage was not moving very fast. It was not until noon that the two arrived at the Soul Hunting Town, which was more than 20 miles outside the Sunset Forest.

After finding a restaurant in the Soul Hunting Town and having a simple lunch, Huo Lie took Mu Yang on his way.

From a distance, Mu Yang could vaguely feel the fresh breeze blowing over him. The fragrance of the plants was refreshing and indescribably comfortable.

Looking out, it was a green ocean. Even at the edge of the outer area, there were towering trees everywhere. The shadows of the trees were so thick that it was difficult to see the real scene.

As one of the three major wild soul beasts, the Sunset Forest is the place that the soul masters of low levels in the northern part of the continent most want to come to, because every time they come here, it means that their soul power level has advanced.

Of course, there are many soul masters who come to the Sunset Forest to hunt souls every year, but this is also the burial place of many soul masters.

It can only be said that the forest is dangerous and soul hunting requires caution.

"Xiaoyang, there are soul beasts in the forest from time to time. You may face danger at any time. You must be careful, okay?"

Before entering the forest, Huo Lie did not forget to remind Mu Yang.

With him leading Mu Yang to hunt souls, and the danger level of the Sunset Forest is not as high as that of the Star Forest, there is no need to worry about the sneak attacks of powerful soul beasts.

But for a preparatory soul master like Mu Yang who has not yet advanced to the first ring, even if it is just a small poisonous insect that looks inconspicuous, it is possible that it can bring fatal threats.

"Yeah."

Mu Yang nodded seriously.

In his previous life, Mu Yang, who was familiar with novels, had seen many supporting characters or strong men who were originally "destiny in my hands" and capsized in the gutter due to negligence.

Not long after entering the forest, Mu Yang heard a slight "rustling" sound from the distance in front of him.

Turning his head, the next second, Mu Yang's hair stood up and goose bumps appeared.

I saw a black-scaled snake about four or five meters long swimming by the bushes not far away.

Although this black-scaled snake was not very old, not even a hundred years old, and could not pose any threat to Mu Yang who was protected by Huo Lie, the visual impact of the wriggling fine black snake scales was far greater than the illustrations in the books. Mu Yang, who was afraid of snakes in his previous life, was a little scared from the bottom of his heart.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yang, are you afraid of snakes?"

Seeing Mu Yang's fear of snakes, Huo Lie couldn't help laughing.

Hearing this, Mu Yang rolled his eyes. If you are not used to seeing such a big spicy strip on weekdays, how many people are not afraid?

"How about I help you overcome it?"

Glancing at the black-scaled snake that was about to disappear from sight, Huo Lie said teasingly.

"No, no, no, no, I'm just not used to seeing it for the first time."

Mu Yang hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands.

You old man are so bad, you actually use a snake to scare a child like me?

"Haha~"

Huo Lie laughed again.

Skipping this episode, the two continued to move forward in the forest.

Perhaps they were lucky. It was getting dark. Just as they were about to find a place to set up a tent and camp, Mu Yang saw a seemingly inconspicuous green plant growing beside the low bushes with moist soil and few towering trees.

The plant was not big, about 1.5 meters long. The four-sided ground stem had six branches, with inverted soft hairs on the upper part. The opposite green leaves on the stem were ovate-lanceolate. In the front part of each branch of the plant, there were also a large number of blue flowers.

Suddenly, a breeze blew on his face, and Mu Yang felt a faint floral fragrance with a cool meaning coming into his nose, as if even his spirit had become better.

"Uncle, a cool flower that is more than 400 years old."

Pointing to the cool flower not far ahead, Mu Yang said to Huo Lie.

Without Mu Yang saying anything, Huo Lie had already discovered it when he smelled the faint cool flower fragrance.

At this time, Huo Lie frowned slightly, wondering whether Mu Yang could really bear the cool flower soul ring that was over 400 years old.

Under normal circumstances, the best age for a soul master's first soul ring is around 400 years, but people are different. A quasi-soul master with a strong physique can naturally follow this routine, but the problem is that Mu Yang is not like that!

On weekdays, his complexion looks a little pale, and he sleeps for more than ten hours a day and looks empty from staying up too late. This really makes it difficult for Huo Lie to have full confidence that Mu Yang can attach a first soul ring that is more than 400 years old.

"Xiao Yang, are you confident?"

After thinking for a long time, Huo Lie turned to Mu Yang and asked.

Fortunately, the soul ring energy of plant-type soul beasts is not very violent, especially the soul ring energy of plant-type soul beasts such as Qinglianghua that do not have the ability to attack. It can be regarded as the most gentle. Compared with other soul beast soul rings of the same age, it has lower requirements on the physical fitness of soul masters.

Otherwise, for the sake of safety, Huo Lie would not allow Mu Yang to use this Qinglianghua plant that is more than 400 years old as his first soul ring beast.

"Of course! I just look listless on the surface, but it doesn't mean that my body is weak."

Mu Yang said without hesitation.

Mu Yang may not be able to compare with older soul masters of the same level, but compared with the innate full soul power genius who has not yet officially advanced to the first ring, his physical fitness can definitely be regarded as a leader.

You know, he has been practicing fitness gymnastics for more than a year, and it is not in vain. The arms under the sleeves are not without vigorous muscles!

Huo Lie raised his eyebrows and looked up and down at Mu Yang, who looked much better today than before.

Well, knowing that he would go out to hunt souls today, Mu Yang did not use his mental power to use his deduction ability yesterday, so his spirit and energy naturally looked much better.

"Okay~"

After looking at him for a while, Huo Lie nodded, took out a kerosene barrel from the storage soul guide, opened the lid, turned his hand, and threw it towards the cool flower not far away.

Suddenly, the cool flower, which was not a big plant, was covered with kerosene.

Then, Huo Lie took out another fire starter, opened the plug and blew it, and a small flame appeared, and threw it to the cool flower that was covered with kerosene.

"Furious——"

The kerosene ignited immediately, and the small flame spread rapidly. In a blink of an eye, the cool flower was bathed in the blazing flames.

After a soul beast dies, it can release a soul ring, but only the soul master who gave the soul beast the final blow is qualified to absorb and refine this soul ring.

However, this premise is that the soul master has launched an attack that is tainted with his own soul power during the process of hunting the soul beast.

If no soul master's soul power is involved in the entire killing process, then no matter who it is, as long as the soul power level is ten, they can have the qualification to absorb and refine this soul ring.

This is just like the soul masters of later generations who kill soul beasts with fixed soul guides that can be activated without consuming their own soul power, and the soul rings that are released can be absorbed normally by other soul masters.
