Ten hours later, after a mad dash!
"Phew, I'm finally here! The Setting Sun Forest is here! " According to the map of the Douluo Continent that Xiao Guang had scanned into the database, the dense and boundless forest in front of Wang Kai was the legendary treasure ground — the Setting Sun Forest where the Icefire Yin Yang Well was located!
Wang Kai finally let out a sigh of relief when he reached his destination. Running at close to three hundred kilometers per hour at top speed left even Wang Kai feeling incomparably fatigued. If he didn't have the power of the earth to constantly replenish his energy, Wang Kai would've been completely exhausted in ten minutes.
And now, even though Wang Kai's stamina was still maintained at a relatively vigorous level with the continuous replenishment of the Earth Force, he wanted to have a good rest after 10 hours of intense running.
After resting for about half an hour in the small plane, Wang Kai finally stepped into the Setting Sun Forest.
After advancing about ten kilometers into the Setting Sun Forest, Wang Kai silently instructed in his mind, "Xiao Guang, show me the 3D map of the Setting Sun Forest. At the same time, mark the locations of all the hills that are more than a hundred meters tall!"
The Setting Sun Forest was an enormous forest of soul beasts that spanned more than fifty kilometers! Although Wang Kai knew that the Icefire Yin Yang Well was definitely in the Setting Sun Forest, he didn't know its exact location! If he used a blind search method, Wang Kai wouldn't be able to search the entire Setting Sun Forest even after a month!
Fortunately, Wang Kai had the help of Xiao Guang's elementary intelligence. At the same time, he also knew three special characteristics of the Icefire Yin Yang Well. First, the Icefire Yin Yang Well was located in a valley on a cliff. Second, the concentration of soul power near the Icefire Yin Yang Well was definitely much higher than outside. Third, the Icefire Yin Yang Well was a hot spring, and the surrounding temperature was much higher!
With the help of these three pieces of information and Xiao Guang's powerful detection abilities, Wang Kai's search was no longer blind. But even so, Wang Kai still needed to spend a certain amount of time to find the Icefire Yin Yang Well!
Of these three characteristics, the first one was undoubtedly the most convenient to search for! By limiting the search area to the hill, they had already eliminated 99% of the Setting Sun Forest. After finding those hills, they would search according to the density and temperature of their soulforce. This was undoubtedly much more efficient than searching blindly! Therefore, Wang Kai gave the corresponding order to Little Light in his sea of consciousness.
"Master, according to the known map of Sunset Forest, there are a total of 11 hills in Sunset Forest that meet the requirements!" Following Little Light's prompt, a three-dimensional map of the Setting Sun Forest appeared in Wang Kai's mind.
"Eleven?" Observing the location of the valleys marked in his sea of consciousness, Wang Kai nodded.
Of these eleven hills, four were located at the edge of the Setting Sun Forest, while the other seven were located at the center of the forest! According to Wang Kai's hypothesis, the Icefire Yin Yang Well was most likely located in the core area of the Setting Sun Forest!
There were many soul masters who entered the Setting Sun Forest to hunt soul beasts. If the Icefire Yin Yang Well was located at the edge of the forest, it was impossible for no one to discover it! Based on this, Wang Kai deduced that the Icefire Yin Yang Well should be located at one of the seven hills in the depths of the Setting Sun Forest!
Having made up his mind, Wang Kai chose the closest one of the seven hills to him and ran toward the map in his sea of consciousness. At the same time, he ordered Little Light to detect the concentration of soulforce in the surrounding area!
Unlike the outside world, there were no smooth roads in the Setting Sun Forest! At the same time, the deeper he went into the Setting Sun Forest, the more ancient trees and soulbeasts there were! After two hours of running and fighting, Wang Kai finally arrived at his target location.
"It seems like it's not here!" Wang Kai shook his head as he felt the temperature around him.
"Little Light, detect the density of soulforce around here!" Wang Kai ordered to be safe.
"Yes, master! The density of soulforce around here is 2.7 standard! "Little Light quickly replied to Wang Kai.
Two point seven times the standard soul power density. This soul power density seemed very high, and it was close to three times the average soul power density of the Douluo Continent. However, according to the knowledge in the True Alchemy Explanation, a place like the Icefire Yin Yang Well that could produce ninth-grade Heaven Rank treasures had to have a soul power density of at least a hundred standard soul power densities!
If the Icefire Yin Yang Well was at the top of the mountain, the density of soulforce shouldn't be as low as two point seven, even if there was a certain distance between them!
However, Wang Kai didn't know if a place like the Icefire Yin Yang Well had the ability to store soulforce. If that was the case, the density of soulforce around it wouldn't increase so much.
To be safe, Wang Kai was prepared to climb to the top of the mountain to take a look!
When he reached the bottom of the mountain, Wang Kai circulated his soulforce slightly. Immediately, sharp Shura claws grew from Wang Kai's hands! However, Wang Kai's body didn't change at all at the same time!
Part of Emperor Shura's Possession — Wang Kai had obtained a new innate ability from his martial soul when he became a Soul King! According to Wang Kai's needs, Wang Kai could allow part of his body to enter the state of Emperor Shura's possession. He didn't need to transform his entire body into Shura!
Thrusting his claws forward, Wang Kai's claws pierced into the rock layer. Then, using both his hands and feet, Wang Kai climbed up.
"It really isn't here!" Twenty minutes later, Wang Kai didn't find any traces of the Icefire Yin Yang Well after searching the entire mountain top. It seemed like that mysterious treasure land wasn't here.
Wang Kai didn't climb down slowly when he reached the edge of the cliff. Instead, Wang Kai circulated his soulforce slightly and covered his entire body with his Gravity Domain. Then, he gently jumped down!
Under the effects of the Gravity Domain, Wang Kai's gravitational force was reduced by ninety percent. His body also slowly descended to the ground. Not long after, Wang Kai's feet stepped onto the ground at the bottom of the mountain.
"It seems like I was overthinking things!" Wang Kai shook his head and continued to rush to the next marked hill.
The second, third, and fourth!
Wang Kai didn't find any traces of the Icefire Yin Yang Well even after searching four suspected locations. At this point, it was already dusk. Wang Kai felt a little helpless in his heart. He took advantage of the darkness of the night and continued to rush to the fifth suspected location in the north.
Another hour passed, and Wang Kai could see a figure slowly emerging from a steep, cone-shaped depression in the distance. Wang Kai could sense that the temperature and soul power density around him had clearly increased. It seemed like the Icefire Yin Yang Well was here!
Just as Wang Kai was filled with joy, he suddenly heard an intense tremor in the ground. Then, he saw countless soul beasts appear in the distance, and they were all rushing in his direction!
— — In front of Wang Kai, a beast tide had actually erupted without anyone noticing!
