Douluo: Blue Lightning Dominates the World, Fist Douluo

Chapter 15 Sunset Forest (Part 2)

Sunset Forest is not far from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

If Tiandou City is taken as the starting point, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is located 500 miles southeast of Tiandou City, while the Sunset Forest is 100 miles due east of Tiandou City, with an angle of 45° between the two.

Considering that the area of ​​Sunset Forest is two hundred miles in radius, Tiandou City is actually three hundred miles away from the other side of Sunset Forest.

From this, we can use the cosine theorem of triangles a= b+ c- 2bc cos A to conclude that the distance between the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the Sunset Forest is only about 360 miles.

即500+300-2×500×300×0.7=√130000，≈360。

It's so strange that useless knowledge entered my brain in a way I never imagined.

360 miles, a distance of less than 400 miles, is nothing for a soul master with soul power.

Although Yu Tianlin is only level 30 now, his strong physical fitness and the continuous recovery of his domain are enough to support him to run the entire distance in one breath.

Along the way, Yu Tianlin rushed forward with lightning flashing all over his body, and Yu Yuanzhen followed him calmly. His movements seemed slow, but each step he took covered several meters.

Nearing noon, Yu Tianlin, who was running, faintly smelled a different scent wafting from afar. It was the unique fragrance of plants.

Take a deep breath, and a refreshing feeling comes over you. All the pores on your body relax at this moment, and you feel indescribably comfortable.

Using his eyesight, Yu Tianlin looked into the distance and could vaguely see a vast dark green ocean with hazy shadows of trees stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Grandpa, that's the Sunset Forest, right?"

Yu Yuanzhen glanced ahead and nodded slightly.

"Yes, that is the Sunset Forest you've been dreaming of. It is also the largest Soul Hunting Forest within a 500-mile radius of Tiandou City."

"However, compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sunset Forest is a little underwhelming."

Yu Tianlin smiled slightly and said, "It's better to be smaller. At least I don't have to worry about getting lost."

Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Lost? Your focus is always different from others."

"Other people only worry that the Soul Hunting Forest is not big enough and there are too few soul beasts inside, so they can't find the soul beast they want. But you worry that the Soul Hunting Forest is too big and you'll get lost."

"Haha, maybe only someone with your extraordinary way of thinking can possess such inexhaustible inspiration."

Yu Tianlin smiled but said nothing, letting Yu Yuanzhen make random guesses.

He was just worried that the Sunset Forest was too big and it would be inconvenient for them to find Dugu Bo's lair. It had nothing to do with whether they could find a suitable soul beast.

Even if there were no soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, for the sake of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, he would definitely persuade Yu Yuanzhen to bring him here to take a look.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the Sunset Forest.

Perhaps because the Sunset Forest is located in the northern part of the continent where the temperature is lower, the trees inside the forest are not as dense as imagined.

Especially the edge of the forest, from a distance it looks like an endless mass of dark green, but when you get closer you will find that the vegetation is sparse and not much.

"Let's go. There's nothing to see here. Sunset Forest is not the Star Dou Great Forest after all. There are almost no soul beasts on the edge. We need to go deeper into the forest."

Yu Tianlin nodded and followed Yu Yuanzhen silently. The old man and the young man walked into the forest together.

Perhaps because of the sparse vegetation, the road inside the Sunset Forest is not difficult to walk on.

Correspondingly, the sparse vegetation also meant that the number of soul beasts in the forest was not as high as expected, and their quality was shockingly low. At noon, about an hour later, Yu Yuanzhen had already led Yu Tianlin thirty miles deep into the forest.

Along the way, Yu Tianlin didn't even find a few soul beasts, let alone a suitable one.

It is said that Sunset Forest is one of the top three large soul-hunting forests in the Tiandou Empire, but most of the beasts Yu Tianlin saw along the way were beasts without any soul power.

The only soul beasts found were either rabbits or mice, and their years of cultivation were all in the single digits. They were so weak that even if they were killed, they might not produce a ten-year soul ring.

To be honest, this situation was completely inconsistent with Yu Tianlin's psychological expectations. He could imagine that hunting souls in the wild would be difficult, but he had never thought it would be so difficult.

In the original novel, Tang San and his companions could easily encounter suitable soul beasts by just walking around. Why is it that when they get to his place, there are not even a few soul beasts to be found?

Could it be that he wasn't the protagonist? Or was it that the fate of Douluo Continent didn't favor him?
Depressed and bitter.

At this time, Yu Yuanzhen keenly sensed that Yu Tianlin was in a bad mood. He tilted his head slightly, glanced at him inconspicuously, and instantly understood what he was thinking.

"Tianlin, are you disappointed with Sunset Forest?"

Yu Tianlin nodded without disguising his feelings: "It is indeed quite disappointing."

"I originally thought that the Sunset Forest was full of soul beasts, but when I got here, I found that there weren't even many real soul beasts here."

"At this rate, I don't know how much time I'll have to waste before I can find a soul beast that suits me."

Yu Yuanzhen laughed and said, "Tianlin, have you ever thought that this situation is actually the norm for hunting souls in the wild?"

"In fact, soul beasts, like wild beasts, need their own living space, or hunting territory."

"Compared to wild beasts, more powerful soul beasts naturally require a wider hunting area."

"Although the Sunset Forest is nearly 15,000 square kilometers in area, if you divide it up among the soul beasts, they don't even have an activity area of ​​one square kilometer."

"We have to deduct the vast territories of those ten-thousand-year soul beasts from this, and the remaining areas are even less capable of supporting too many soul beasts."

"According to my estimation, even if we take into account carnivorous soul beasts, herbivorous soul beasts, and plant-eating soul beasts, the territories of these three types of soul beasts overlap to a certain extent, and the number of soul beasts in the entire Sunset Forest will definitely not exceed 30,000."

"Among these, ten-year soul beasts would account for more than 80%. Therefore, the number of soul beasts that can reach the level of a hundred-year cultivation level will definitely not exceed 5,000, the number of thousand-year soul beasts will not exceed 1,000, and the number of soul beasts over ten thousand years old will not even exceed 20."

"All in all, this Sunset Forest is still a little too small."

Yu Tianlin was stunned for a moment. If Yu Yuanzhen hadn't told him himself, he would never have believed that the Sunset Forest, which was described in great detail in the original novel, was so terrible and that the number of soul beasts was so rare.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with Yu Yuanzhen's calculation. Even considering the amount of resources required by organisms, the data is extremely accurate.

After all, ordinary wild tigers need at least 10 square kilometers of hunting area to survive, and their activity range is as high as more than 500 square kilometers. It doesn't make sense that stronger soul beasts would require fewer resources.

On the contrary, in the cruel natural environment, soul beasts will need more resources, only in this way can they maintain the stable reproduction of their population.

Therefore, those soul masters on Douluo Continent who have reached the first ring or even the second ring after ten years, it is not that they are not working hard enough, but that the resources in this world are too scarce.

If civilian soul masters do not have certain opportunities and do not have enough money to hire people, then they have no qualifications and no ability to go deep into the primeval forest, and naturally they will not be able to hunt down hundred-year-old soul beasts.

Perhaps this is the real reason why the original novel often talks about the optimal spirit ring configuration. Compared to 98% of the spirit masters on the mainland, perhaps ten years for the first ring and a hundred years for the second ring is the norm in this world.
