Douluo: Man in the Endless World, Auspicious Beast of the Far North

Chapter 123 The Mysterious Forest of Death, Electrolux's Discovery

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, we can set off now." Yunze smiled slightly and said to the three people.

Old Sun chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Let's go. The carriage is ready outside."

Yunze nodded, pulled Meng Hongchen to the carriage beside the gate, and got into the carriage with Meng Hongchen.

The carriage has quite a lot of space and can easily accommodate five people.

The one responsible for driving the carriages is the academy's exclusive coachman. Of course, these two carriages are quite advanced. Not only are they driven by soul guides, but the horses used are also top-quality thousand-year soul beast storm foals.

However, Yunze didn’t quite understand. Since the Sun-Moon Empire already had the idea of ​​using soul guides to increase speed, why didn’t they make something like a soul guide car?
In response to this, Mr. Jiang and others gave a very simple answer.

The biggest goal of the Sun-Moon Empire now is to continuously improve its strength so that it can launch a war against the other three countries and annex the continent.

Mingdetang's main research direction is also mainly on war soul guides, especially in the field of fixed-type soul guide cannons, where research and innovation are carried out day after day and year after year.

After listening to this, Yunze chose to remain silent.

He is not a kind-hearted person. In other words, the better humans live and the stronger they become, the greater the threat they pose to soul beasts and the Far North.

But to be honest, this technology, which was developed entirely for war, can sometimes be a double-edged sword.

However, Yunze also knew that his current status was low and his words were meaningless. Instead of worrying about the future, it would be better to improve his own strength.

The carriage was indeed very fast. It took only more than a day to travel from Mingdu to the Luochuan Plain where the Death Forest was located. Moreover, everyone brought a lot of supplies, so they did not feel any tight budget when spending the night outside.

The Luochuan Plain is one of the three largest plain areas in the Sun-Moon Empire. The soul beast forests here are very rich. In the west is a soul beast canyon called Jiangliu Grand Canyon, which has as many as four soul beast forests, but they are all small and medium-sized soul beast forests.

The Death Forest is located in the middle of the Luochuan Plain and is also the deepest part of the entire plain.

It is said that since the founding of the Sun-Moon Empire, not many people have come here. Without exception, they were all kept out by the thick aura of death.

Of course, the Sun-Moon Empire once organized an exploration team to enter the Death Forest. The team was led by a ninth-level soul mentor, and there were six eighth-level soul mentors following them. The worst in the team were all fifth-level soul mentors.

Even such a powerful team failed to fully explore the entire Death Forest.

But he did bring back a very important piece of information.

The entire Death Forest is a special swamp structure area. Although the air of death and marsh gas are very dense, a very strange metal is also born there.

Most soul masters are unwilling to touch this rare metal. After being shrouded in the aura of death for many years, these metals contain extremely strong aura of death.

Unless there are some evil soul masters, no soul guide would use this metal as a material to make soul guides.

And this is Yunze’s biggest goal of this trip.

Of course, it would be even better if we could get the soul bones of the soul beasts in the Death Forest.

The most important reason why Meng Hongchen agreed to come was because of the existence of Electrolux. With Electrolux around, there was no need to worry about the spirit ring being filled with death energy. He could completely purify it and bring Meng Hongchen a suitable spirit ring.

When the carriage stopped outside the forest, Yunze and the other four got out of the carriage.

"Even outside the forest, you can feel the thick aura of death. It is worthy of being a famous death place in the empire." Old Sun said with a sigh, and his soul power condensed to cover Yunze and Meng Hongchen.

Elder Wang and Elder Jiang also nodded, but they asked Yunze with some doubt, "Little guy, why did you think of running to this place?"

"Seniors, you should know about the special metal in the Death Forest called Necromancer Black Gold, right?"

"Of course, Black Undead Gold is a rare metal unique to the Death Forest. You're not thinking of getting some to make a soul guide, are you?" Old Wang looked at Yunze in surprise. "Little Yunze, you might not know that this Black Undead Gold contains a terrifying aura of death. This aura of death will continuously erode a person's soul power and body, causing the body's functions to rapidly deteriorate. It's very dangerous!"

In response to this, Yunze smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Senior Wang, I have a way to be immune to the erosion of this death aura."

After hearing Yunze say this, Old Wang was silent for a moment, but when he thought that it was Jing Hongchen who agreed to let him come out this time, he didn't say anything else.

After wrapping themselves with soul power, the group walked into the forest.

Just as the intelligence said, the entire forest was indeed an extra-large swamp. Not long after entering the forest, Yunze had to use the power of the ice element to freeze ice on the surface of the swamp to make it easier for everyone to move forward.

"It's actually the ultimate attribute!" With the knowledge of the three elders Sun, they could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of Yunze's soul power attribute.

Elder Sun couldn't help but sigh, "I really envy that kid Xuan Ziwen!"

Yunze laughed, but soon returned to his original expression.

In the swamp about dozens of meters away from the few people, a back covered with black scales slowly swam out of the water.

Is this a soul beast?

"It should be one of the most common soul beasts on the outskirts of the Death Forest. This soul beast is called the Death Crocodile. It was originally just an ordinary crocodile soul beast, but after absorbing the aura of death, it mutated and became what it is now. Compared to its original species, the Death Crocodile is much stronger in both vitality and overall attributes."

The knowledgeable Mr. Wang saw the characteristics of this soul beast at a glance and spoke.

"Judging from its size, it should be only about a hundred years old," added Old Sun on the side.

After listening to what the two old men said, Yunze had no interest in this undead crocodile. He was too lazy to get entangled with this hundred-year-old soul beast, so he simply continued to move forward.

"Something's strange." The voice of Alex suddenly rang out in his mind. Yunze was stunned for a moment, and quickly sent a message through his consciousness, "Master Yi, have you discovered anything?"

"Xiao Ze, look carefully. The water in these swamps seems to be full of a special activity." Alex's voice sounded slowly. Yunze frowned slightly. Water is active?
He pondered for a moment, then waved his right hand. In an instant, a piece of ice condensed on the surface of the swamp water. As he waved his right hand again, the ice fell into his hand.

Holding the ice, Yunze's eyes flashed with horror.

It was just as Electrolux said, the water in this swamp seemed to have vitality just like the cells of living things!
For a moment, a strange feeling came over Yunze.
