Chapter 3: Star Forest

Star Dou Great Forest, the entrance to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Zhou Hao, who had been away from home for a month, looked dusty as he chewed the dried animal meat. Looking at the endless towering forests not far away, he knew that he had finally arrived at the destination of his trip.

Zhou Hao couldn't help feeling agitated in his heart. He didn't expect that he came to hunt the spirit ring with great pride, and it took him a month just to go on the road. He blamed himself for not calculating the distance, and dared to walk randomly based on the memory of his previous life.Fortunately, the road was bumpy, and finally came to the right place.

Zhou Hao made some simple preparations, glanced at the sign at the entrance warning of danger, and then walked into the largest soul beast forest on the Douluo Continent, which straddled two empires.

Each tree is more than twenty meters tall, the air is moist and fresh, and the sunlight can shine evenly through the gaps in the tree crown, making Zhou Hao couldn't help but marvel at the magic of life's evolution.

Here is a sea of ​​green, with twining vines and shadowy trees, as if the temperature is a few degrees lower than the outside world.From time to time, the roar of the soul beast came from the depths of the forest, as if to warn outsiders.

Zhou Hao took a deep breath of fresh air, and the dark gold claws on his right hand popped out, and he swung it lightly. The bushes and weeds in front of him had been cleared instantly, and the soul ring he needed needed to go further in. The soul beasts on the outside were at most a hundred years old, which was really inappropriate, so he didn't want to stay here too much.

As dusk was approaching, Zhou Hao wanted to find a place to eat something and take a rest, but a few dark green eyes were fixed on him, and they were far behind.Nether Wolf, the most common group spirit beast in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the leader wolf has a strand of white hair on his forehead, which is a sign of a century-old spirit beast.

They decided to hunt this young human being, but they were afraid of the sharp dark golden claws in his hands, and seemed to plan to follow him until night before attacking.

Zhou Hao had already noticed the pack of wolves behind him, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. It's okay to clear up the pack of wolves, but the smell of blood would cause him a lot of trouble.

Finally, Zhou Hao found a good open space. He took out the tent and dried meat from the ring. With the soul power in his hand, the dried meat quickly warmed up.

He looked into the depths of the forest behind him, and the pack of wolves had fierce green eyes, but they didn't dare to get any closer.Zhou Hao suddenly felt something was wrong, and turned his head suddenly. The woods and bushes in front of him were unusually quiet, and there was no sign of trouble at all.

Until the tip of Zhou Hao's nose moved slightly, a little fishy smell spread throughout the nasal cavity. Suddenly, the wind suddenly picked up, and a huge black figure rushed over. Zhou Hao had to lower his head, and the dark gold claw on his right hand swept across instantly, a warm wave The liquid has dripped on the face.

Zhou Hao looked closely and saw a black ghost tiger. The nine purple lines on its tail showed nine hundred years of cultivation. Zhou Hao's wound on its abdomen just now was not deep, but it was bleeding, which inspired him even more. of ferocity.

It bared its teeth and roared, its figure was hidden in the black mist, and it rushed over again. Zhou Hao was dissatisfied. He finally rested, but this blind person came to disturb him. He charged up and punched out, and cooperated with it. With the great power of the martial spirit, the nine-hundred-year-old ghost tiger's head was instantly smashed into the ground, and it was directly deformed and dented. Seven holes were bleeding, and the muscles of the whole body were still trembling. A dark yellow spirit ring had floated out, waiting for it. Traction.

Obviously, the speed-type ghost tiger is not the soul ring Zhou Hao needs. He can only wait for him to drift away on his own. The wolves in the distance have long since disappeared. This territory belongs to this ghost tiger, and there should be no others nearby for the time being. After the soul beast died, Zhou Hao simply disposed of the body, picked out a few pieces of meat and put it away, then remained vigilant and meditated until dawn.

Fortunately, the ghost tiger's territory was large enough, and not many spirit beasts could smell the smell of blood outside its territory. Zhou Hao rested comfortably for a night.

After eating some dried meat to satisfy his hunger, Zhou Hao continued on his way. His speed had already slowed down. He had already come to the thousand-year-old soul beast area. Maybe the power-type soul beast he was looking for was nearby.

Zhou Hao walked forward cautiously, the martial soul was already possessed, and the dark golden claws showed the strength of the comer. The coercion from the depths of the martial soul's bloodline made many thousand-year-old soul beasts around who were about to move fearful.

Seeing in the distance a long-awaited millennium gibbon and a datura snake entangled in a tree pretending to be a vine, Zhou Hao frowned, thinking that the really powerful one hadn't come yet, and there were a lot of young people.

He took out the corpse of yesterday's ghost tiger and put it on him. The smell of blood spread out, and he roared with his soul power. The monkey and the snake finally retreated in fear. Zhou Hao knew that thousand-year-old soul beasts generally have preliminary intelligence, and would not come over rashly even if they were attracted by the smell of blood. Unless, this is its territory.

Just now, Zhou Hao had discovered a series of huge footprints on the ground. The spirit beasts in this territory were probably suitable for him. He flattened a large stone with his fear claws and sat down. At this time, he was waiting for the opportunity.

Soon, there was a majestic and domineering roar of a tiger. Obviously, the owner was extremely dissatisfied with the intruders into his territory. A huge saber-toothed tiger came out of the forest, fully two meters high, staring at Zhou Hao with cold eyes.

The thousand-year-old saber-toothed tiger had the highest strength and attack among soul beasts of the same level. Zhou Hao was overjoyed that he finally found the soul ring he needed.

The dark golden giant bear possessed its body, and its sharp and strong bear paws popped out. The saber-toothed tiger lowered its body and rushed out suddenly, with a pair of sharp teeth shining.

The human in front of him made it feel a great threat, so the saber-toothed tiger immediately activated its talent skill - saber teeth, which can easily bite through any hard head during the duration.

Zhou Hao turned sideways to the extreme, and the sabre-toothed tiger's stinky mouth missed him, but the sharp claws tore through his clothes. Taking advantage of its castration and new power, Zhou Hao punched out with his right hand, with great force, the giant blade of the soul bone between his fingers pierced out, and easily pierced into the saber-toothed tiger's body.

This is the horror of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, which can tear any spirit beast that dares to provoke it into pieces.The saber-toothed tiger slammed into a tree in pain. When it got up again, its eyes were bloodshot. Zhou Hao didn't dodge, and punched the jaw with a punch at the right time. The huge force lifted the beast. The dark golden light pierced through the space and pierced the saber-toothed tiger's neck.

The huge corpse fell to the ground, warm blood spurted out, and a purple soul ring quietly condensed. Zhou Hao took a long breath and finally the dust settled.

Without further ado, there are no soul beasts nearby, so you need to act quickly. Zhou Hao thought silently in his heart; "Sign in!"

"Ding, the sign-in is successful! The first soul ring will be strengthened after the host completes the absorption, please rest assured to absorb it."

Zhou Hao sat down cross-legged and calmed down. Although the system had strengthened his body, it was still not easy for a six-year-old him to absorb a thousand-year-old soul ring.The purple soul ring slowly merged with Zhou Hao under the traction, and there seemed to be the roar of the saber-toothed tiger, but under the threat of the dark gold Dreadclaw bear, it quickly disappeared into nothing.

The next step is to fully receive and digest this huge energy. Zhou Hao felt it carefully, slowly pulled the cocoon, and integrated the energy of the soul ring into his own soul power one by one. His body felt a little swollen, but it was not a big problem. Two hours later, Zhou Hao opened his eyes, and a gorgeous purple soul ring rose slowly, exuding a fierce aura.

Because of the previous month's accumulation, Zhou Hao's soul power has directly risen to the fourteenth level, which is indeed worthy of a thousand-year soul ring.Zhou Hao displayed his martial soul in satisfaction, and looked at the big tree nearby: "The first soul skill, blade claw."

The huge dark golden claws spanning three meters were covered with a layer of imperceptible white light. In an instant, the big tree embraced by the three of them had been divided into several sections.The first soul skill can add special effects to the attack, wherever the blade hits.Invincible.

The 1,300-year-old saber-toothed tiger soul ring has reached the limit of 1,800 years with the improvement of the system. The soul bone of the right arm is also much stronger than before and is already 5,000 years old. Zhou Hao came to a creek and found that he seemed to have grown taller and his appearance was more delicate and handsome than before.

Open the system panel.

"Host: Zhou Hao

Realm: Fourteenth level battle soul master.

Martial Soul: Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear (upgraded once).

Soul Bone: Five Thousand Years Dark Gold Terror Claw.

Soul Guidance Device: Storage Ring. "

Zhou Hao thought in his mind that Tang San should have just finished hunting the mandala snake. He can first go back to Notting City to register as a soul master, and then go back to the village to report to Grandpa Jike that he is safe. Then he can go out and earn a monthly allowance of gold coins from the Spirit Hall.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but think of the mysterious pope he had never met before. How wonderful the Spirit Hall is! Unconditional benefits and a peerless-looking Pope, but unfortunately the Wuhun Palace is not suitable for him yet.

Zhou Hao didn't go out of the forest until he had fully adapted to the improvement of his soul power. As for the depths and even the inner circle, there were still existences that he couldn't afford to offend. Whether it was the Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, or the unborn several fierce beasts, he couldn't provoke them now. When he became stronger in the future, he would naturally be able to "communicate" with them.

After walking out in one breath, Zhou Hao truly felt the warmth of the sun shining on his body again.

Depart and return to Notting City.
