Chapter 45 The wind baboon who almost killed the god
Standing among the dense branches and leaves of a towering tree, Xu Zihuang watched in silence as Huo Yuhao's thin figure gradually disappeared from sight.
He took out a fine map made of sheepskin from the storage soul guide, and after looking at it carefully, he also rushed towards the direction of the Star Dou Forest.
After meeting Huo Yuhao, the thought in his heart of going to the Star Dou Forest not only did not dissipate, but became even stronger.
So he decided to enter the Star Dou Forest before Huo Yuhao.
With Huo Yuhao's physical fitness and his tenth-level soul power, it would take at least six days to go from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to the Star Dou Forest. And he diverted his soul power and rushed on his way, and he could arrive there in less than a day.
If nothing happened when he entered the Star Forest, he would still have enough time to return and stay by Huo Yuhao's side to prepare to intercept Huo Yuhao.
Although it is uncertain whether Tianmeng Iceworm and Electrolux will appear as before, this is the safest method.
He could only try his best.
The scenery on both sides flew back quickly. Xu Zihuang was moving at high speed, and a few strands of purple hair were flying on his forehead and temples. There was a rare hint of anxiety in his deep eyes, which were always as calm as water.
He was supposed to be imprisoned for life, but after regaining his freedom, he was like a butterfly, disrupting the original plot.
At this moment, he realized how stupid his original idea was.
But Huo Yuhao, who embarked on the journey with resentment against the White Tiger Duke, was completely unaware of this.
The temperature in the central part of the mainland is significantly lower than that in the Yuenan Islands. Especially in this wilderness, shrouded in dense forests, there is a cold atmosphere in the air.
The sunset shines through the dense branches and leaves, rendering the forest near the Star Forest a golden red.
On the branches, several plump squirrels were holding fresh nuts in their front teeth.
But at the next moment, this calm and peaceful scene was suddenly broken.
Steady footsteps echoed here suddenly, trampling on the dead leaves and branches on the ground, and a tall figure emerged from the shade of the tree, calming his breathing.
"finally reached."
The visitor was none other than Xu Zihuang, who was rushing to the Star Forest.
In one day's journey from Xingluo City to the edge of the Star Forest, he traveled thousands of miles. However, given his strong physical fitness, his breathing was only slightly short of breath.
The soul power consumed by traveling and the soul power recovered by himself are basically the same, and the soul power in his body is still at its most abundant state.
This is the advantage of being born with full soul power. Whether it is the speed of cultivation or the speed of recovering soul power, it is far higher than that of ordinary soul masters.
If hard work works, why do you need a genius?
Although this statement is arrogant, it is not unreasonable.
If success could be achieved through hard work alone, then titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent would not be so rare.
Looking around, Xu Zihuang found a worn-out wooden sign covered with moss.
"Fifty kilometers ahead we will enter the Star Dou Forest. There are soul beasts in and out. Please pay attention to safety."
Taking his eyes away from the wooden sign, Xu Zihuang turned around again and continued heading into the Star Forest.
But this time, he was much more cautious than before, and his speed also slowed down.
Over the years, the quality of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest has become higher and higher, and there is a possibility of soul beasts appearing in this area.
The air gradually became cooler, and besides the coolness, there was also an inexplicable sense of depression.
Out of caution, Xu Zihuang subconsciously activated his soul power and used his martial soul.
The originally clear deep purple eyes instantly turned into brilliant gold. But the strange thing is that after releasing his martial soul, no soul rings appeared around his body.
Use the martial soul without showing the soul ring. This is actually a special method of using martial souls. Only soul masters who have strong control over their own martial souls can do this.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. There are many powerful sects with long heritages, and they all have ways to release their martial souls and hide their soul rings.
For example, the Qibao Glazed Sect, which is known as the mainland's No. 1 auxiliary weapon spirit sect.
Xu Zihuang has always maintained a uniform speed.
It was approaching night and the light was getting dimmer. But for him who possesses the Golden Eyes Martial Spirit, it has no impact at all. This is also one of the reasons why Xu Zihuang dares to enter the Star Forest at night.
However, he would not risk his life by going too deep into the Star Dou Forest. After all, there are infinite possibilities in life.
He just tried his best, not to die.
As we were proceeding, the road disappeared. There are dense forests all around, and the air becomes fresher, but there is a faint aura of solemnity coming from the depths of the forest.
Not long after, Xu Zihuang suddenly noticed a few black figures passing through the crowns of several giant trees from the corner of his eye.
Relying on the powerful dynamic vision of the Golden Eyes Martial Spirit, he clearly captured the appearance of these black figures.
It was a baboon about one meter tall, with brown hair all over its body and brown eyes. A pair of arms were extremely long, with sharp nails on the claws, and canine teeth exposed on the lips. The powerful hind limbs kicked hard on the tree trunk, and one of them attacked Xu Zihuang at an obscure angle.
"A wind baboon with ten years of cultivation?" Xu Zihuang raised his eyebrows. According to the normal plot, Huo Yuhao encountered this kind of soul beast and almost died.
But unfortunately, Huo Yuhao could easily destroy the wind baboon that was difficult to resist.
Xu Zihuang just stood there quietly, as if he didn't notice at all. But at the moment when the wind baboon stretched out its claws behind him and clawed at his neck, his figure turned to the left without warning, perfectly dodging it.
After missing a hit, the wind baboon suddenly became furious and bared its teeth.
At this moment, Xu Zihuang's counterattack arrived.
He raised his slender right leg and stamped it down violently. There was even a sharp whistling sound in the surrounding air.
"Bang -" Before the wind baboon could react, its big head had been crushed into a puddle of minced meat.
The surrounding soil dented, forming a pit with a depth of half a meter. Faint white light condensed on the headless body of the wind baboon, forming a gleaming white soul ring.
However, Xu Zihuang did not give up because of this. The soul guide on his left wrist flashed with white light, and the short-blade whale tooth blade about two feet long was held in reverse.
Under the injection of soul power, the dark ink back of the blade instantly turned into a translucent deep purple, violent purple thunder and lightning lingered, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted.
Between his breaths, several rays of purple lightning passed by. Xu Zihuang continued to go deeper into the Star Forest with a calm expression.
"Bang, bang, bang--" As if in response to these purple electric lights, several charred corpses fell from the surrounding tree trunks one after another.
