Chapter 1228 Danger is coming

Tang Lan and Wang Qiu'er also gave brief self-introductions.

After some investigation, it was discovered that the young woman sitting next to Yu Ting was the female Soul Master Yue Lan, who possessed the level 58 healing ability of the Wind Soul Orchid.

"The others are still out searching for soul beasts, and it will be a long time before they return."

"Our task now is to roast this wild boar and wait for them to return!"

"Brother Tang Yun, could you tell me what it's like inside an advanced soul master academy? And what kind of teachings are there?"

“My sister Yuting and I grew up in poor families and could never go to a Soul Master Academy. Actually, we always longed for that kind of life.”

The group got along very well as they chatted, and when Yue Lan heard that Tang Lan was a level 78 Battle Soul Master, she looked at Tang Lan with even more admiration.

In his view, Tang Lan's achievement of reaching level 78 at this age was entirely due to the efforts of a group of excellent teachers within the academy.

"The academy is huge, far larger than the manor of the Radiant Flame Merchant Guild!"

"Regardless of whether it's the Martial Soul Department or the Soul Guidance Department, all students must complete the lessons and training assigned by their teachers every day."

Watching Yue Lan and Yu Ting hugging their knees by the campfire, both waiting for Tang Lan to tell her story.

Tang Lan could only smile and talk about some things that happened at the academy before.

Whenever they talked about something interesting, it would make the two girls giggle.

Despite Yuting's usual domineering demeanor, she is still a little girl at heart.

Since everyone is relatively young, we naturally share common ground and insights in various aspects.

Wang Qiu'er, who was standing to the side, couldn't laugh anymore. She felt that the two women were looking at Tang Lan in a slightly different way.

This infuriated her, and she secretly reached behind Tang Lan and pinched the soft flesh of Tang Lan's waist hard.

"Well, actually, the young soul masters in the soul master academy don't have as much combat experience as you guys."

"I think the outside world is where you can really learn skills."

Tang Lan grunted, then forced a smile and said to the two women.

"That's true, but the outside world is obviously more dangerous, and we don't have any teachers to protect us."

"Our team used to have nine people, but we were attacked by a powerful soul beast. After a fierce battle, we lost two teammates."

As Yue Lan finished speaking, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

"Captain, we're back. Just as you predicted, there isn't a single soul beast around here!"

Soon, Yuting's five teammates returned one after another, and their reports were completely consistent.

"Let's talk about it after dinner!"

Yu Ting glanced at the other Soul Hunter teams around her and gestured for everyone to eat first.

Before the meal, Tang Lan briefly introduced herself to the five people, and they were all very easy to get along with.

But it was only Yu Ting and her group; the other Soul Hunting teams around them were all fierce and menacing.

They would even occasionally cast meaningful glances at Tang Lan and the others.

Why are they looking at me like that?

Is there something strange about me?

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Tang Lan leaned against a tree and looked at Yu Ting with some confusion.

"The problem is simple: the strength of the two of you is simply beyond the comprehension of these people."

"Guests with such strength who still travel with caravans are naturally a source of curiosity for them."

Yu Ting gave a wry smile and expressed her opinion, which was also the doubt in the hearts of these Soul Hunters.

Tang Lan nodded after hearing this, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Whether or not one should join the caravan is not something they need to ask; as long as money is paid, the Radiant Flame Merchant Guild will take the money and do the job.

At night, Tang Lan and her companion stayed in a tent provided by the Guangyan Chamber of Commerce.

At Yuting's invitation, the two moved their tent from where the other guests were to the one next to their Soul Hunter team.

Even though it was late at night, Tang Lan could still hear Hank directing his men to search around the camp to ensure everyone's safety.

Tang Lan didn't care about this. Since she had already spent money, she should be protected.

In the quiet night, only a few campfires crackled around.

After some discussion, the Soul Hunter Squad and the caravan's guards decided to take turns keeping watch at night.

Just as dawn broke, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

The sleeping crowd hurriedly opened their tents and began to observe what was happening outside.

Those on night watch all picked up their weapons, looked westward, and stared wide-eyed.

Tang Lan also looked in the direction of the sound.

The next moment, Tang Lan frowned slightly and murmured, "They're here!"

"This guy probably has a cultivation of at least 100,000 years, how could he possibly be here!"

Wang Qiu'er also came out of the tent. Looking at the huge silver-armored demon ape that was over thirty feet tall not far away, her expression was obviously not very good.

Wang Qiu'er was certain that this guy was not a soul beast that had come from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Excluding the Star Dou Great Forest, there is only one other place where such a high-level soul beast would exist: the Star Night Great Forest.

The Starry Night Great Forest is located at the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire.

Compared to the Starry Sky Forest, the Starry Night Forest is probably only one-fifth the size of the former.

There are no more than seven super soul beasts inside that are over 100,000 years old, and they have not had any contact with the outside world in recent years.

Roar----

The enormous silver-armored demon ape opened its scarlet eyes and suddenly roared upon seeing the numerous human camps there.

Its two thick arms kept pounding the silver breastplate on its chest, looking extremely angry.

Before anyone could react, he suddenly grabbed a towering tree from the side and hurled it toward the camp.

"Run! It's dangerous here!"

"Run!!"

In an instant, shouts and screams echoed around the camp, and everyone was in chaos due to panic.

Rumble!

After the loud bang, a large cloud of dust rose up, obscuring everyone's view.

In the critical moment, Tang Lan pulled Wang Qiu'er along and leaped lightly, appearing dozens of feet away.

"It's actually a 100,000-year-old silver-armored demon ape! Isn't this a soul beast from the Starry Night Great Forest? How did it end up here!"

Yu Sen, the captain of the Iron Fist Soul Hunter Team, who possessed level 85 soul power, had a grim face at this moment. Despite this, he still had no choice but to step forward to face the suddenly appearing powerful enemy.

At the same time, two other streaks of light landed next to Yu Sen.

These two individuals are Tan Yuan, the captain of the Holy Lance Soul Hunter Team, who possesses level 86 soul power, and Song Yingfei, a lone soul hunter who possesses level 85 soul power.
