Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 5 Star Forest

Shanyang Village was a village on the border of the Tianhun Empire, so it was not far from the Xingdou Great Forest. In addition, Ye Xuanji flew with a sword at level 97, and it took less than half a day for the two of them to reach the outer realm of the Xingdou Great Forest.

"Is this the Great Star Forest?"

Before stepping into the forest, Junting was already overwhelmed by its vastness and primitiveness, which was difficult to describe in words.

This seemed like a secret place isolated from the world, with dense trees blocking out the sun, and the sun could only shine through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows. The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves.

The trees were tall and straight, with branches intertwined and complex, forming natural barriers. These barriers blocked the view, making it impossible to see through the entire forest at a glance. The path behind the warning sign was like a huge mouth leading people into the abyss.

"The Xingdou Great Forest is located in the center of the three former Douluo empires. As the largest wild soul beast settlement on land, it is divided into the edge area, the outer circle, the mixed circle, the core circle, and the most dangerous and untouched great dangerous land. Our goal is at the junction of the outer area and the mixed area."

Ye Xuanji retracted her martial spirit and stood with her hands behind her back.

After stepping onto the trail, he motioned for Jun Ting to follow.

"Ten thousand years ago, Jian Douluo's first soul ring was taken from a hundred-year-old Terrorclaw Bear, which gave him the soul skill Long Sword. So our target is also this soul beast."

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the trail disappeared. This indicated that they had walked out of the edge of the Xingdou Great Forest and officially stepped into the outer area. "Although we need a hundred-year soul beast, the Terrorclaw Bear will never be in the outer area."

"Follow me closely next."

After Ye Xuanji explained, she began to release her aura, in order to prevent some weak and blind soul beasts from provoking them.

"Master, I remember that the Terrorclaw Bear seems to be a subspecies of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Can't we choose the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?" Jun Ting followed Ye Xuanji closely with the Seven Killing Swords in his hand, recalling the information about the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in his heart.

"You know quite a lot."

Ye Xuanji was a little surprised that Jun Ting knew this, but she was not very surprised. "Indeed, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is a better choice than the Terror Claw Bear, but the number of Dark Gold Terror Claw Bears is extremely rare. If you rely on luck, you may not find any results after searching for several months or even half a year. So the Terror Claw Bear, which inherits the aggressiveness of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, is a substitute."

"Shh!"

Suddenly, a sound broke through the air.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Jun Ting did not relax his vigilance. He immediately swung the Seven Killing Sword in his hand towards the direction where the sound came from, and a white light came into view.

"A mere hundred-year soul beast dares to attack us."

Ye Xuanji smiled at Jun Ting's actions, but soon suppressed it because of the offense of this hundred-year-old soul beast. With a wave of his hand, the white light disappeared in an instant.

"Is this a wind baboon?"

Jun Ting looked in the direction of the attack and saw a baboon about one meter tall standing on a branch, waving its sharp claws, with its canine teeth exposed and its eyes gleaming with ferocity.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over me.

You know, other hundred-year soul beasts couldn't dodge Ye Xuanji's aura. So he didn't see any soul beasts along the way. But this wind baboon...

"Are all wind baboons so brave?"

Seeing that the wind baboon turned into a black shadow and was about to attack them, Ye Xuanji combined her two fingers into a sword finger, with a sword intent wrapped around it, and pointed forward at an extremely fast speed.

"Om..."

Accompanied by the sound of a sword, Jun Ting finally reacted.

The wind baboon in front of where Ye Xuanji pointed her sword had already stopped moving. Although there were no scars on its body, Jun Ting could see clearly that the light in the wind baboon's eyes had gone.

"boom!"

The sound of falling to the ground was heard, and a circle of yellow soul rings were suspended above it. "Do you feel it?"

After killing the wind baboon, Ye Xuanji did not rush to move on. Instead, she slowly dissipated the sword intent on her fingers and motioned Jun Ting to look at the wind baboon's unharmed head.

"Feel."

Jun Ting suppressed the heat in his heart and nodded repeatedly. "Master, this is the legendary sword meaning in the storybook, right?"

"Legend? That's not even close to being a legend."

Ye Xuanji didn't waste any words and slashed with the sword again.

A sword energy swept across the bushes in front of him, forming a path. After signaling Jun Ting to follow, he explained.

"For soul masters from other forces and other martial souls, few people can master the concept of sword intent. But it is different for our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The method of cultivating sword intent is passed down from generation to generation. Mastering sword intent will not only greatly improve your own strength, but also allow you to have multiple self-created soul skills on this basis. These are what you will learn in the future."

As Ye Xuanji patiently explained, the two of them went deeper and deeper into the Xingdou Great Forest. Because their external aura was limited, many soul beasts were secretly spying on them.

But none of them, like the wind baboon, dared to attack.

Time flies, and half a day goes by quickly.

Although the Terrorclaw Bear is not as rare as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the two still found nothing during this period of time. However, both Jun Ting and Ye Xuanji seemed very patient.

It was almost evening now, and Jun Ting and his companions did not go any deeper, but took out the tent from the storage soul guide. And based on Ye Xuanji's powerful strength, they also lit a bonfire, not afraid that the light would attract powerful soul beasts.

Beside the campfire, Jun Ting did not rest, but under the guidance of Ye Xuanji, he practiced the top-level meditation method inherited and improved by generations of sword spirit masters in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.

When the forest was no longer dark and a faint white light gradually appeared under the mottled shadows of the trees, Jun Ting stopped practicing.

Then, the two continued on their journey.

Along the way, Ye Xuanji's momentum gradually subsided, and Jun Ting saw many soul beasts, some of which were thousands of years old. Ye Xuanji also explained this to him.

Over the past few days, a large amount of soul beast knowledge was poured into his brain. The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and the struggles between different soul beasts also made him realize the cruelty of the Xingdou Great Forest.

The journey to find soul beasts continues.

"Buzzing..."

A noisy sound caught the attention of the two people.

Along with the sound, there was also a hint of fragrance.

“This smell is… there!”

As if she had figured out the origin of the fragrance and the sound, Ye Xuanji grabbed Jun Ting and flew a hundred meters away in a flash. "Let's go! I have a way to lure out the Terrorclaw Bear."

Ye Xuanji brought Jun Ting to this place under a towering tree. They looked up and saw a huge beehive hanging on it, with countless bees circling around it.

"Master, you want to lure the bear with honey."

Jun Ting understood Ye Xuanji's idea at once. He couldn't help but sniff, and the sweet smell made his mouth water.

This honey is special!
