Lu Yuan left with Long Xiaoyao for the Great Star Dou Forest.
There were two reasons why he left the Frenzy Rhino Douluo behind.
The first reason was that Long Xiaoyao's protection was enough. Chihiro Snow was in Heaven Dou Imperial City, and it was too dangerous for him. The stronger the protection, the better.
The second reason was that Lu Yuan had a premonition that something closely related to him was going to happen in the Great Star Dou Forest. Long Xiaoyao was on his side, and he was 100% loyal to him. However, the Frenzy Rhino Douluo was Sendōryu's subordinate. To be honest, Lu Yuan didn't trust him one hundred percent.
Therefore, it wasn't a bad thing to leave the Frenzy Rhino Douluo behind. From another perspective, the Frenzy Rhino Douluo would be able to see everything that he did with Sendōryu by his side. Lu Yuan couldn't accept that.
In the past, he didn't have anyone protecting him, and couldn't leave him. However, with Long Xiaoyao around, there was no need for him to keep an eye on him.
Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be alone and free?
The Great Star Dou Forest was between the two empires. It was the largest forest of soul beasts on the continent.
There were many hundred-thousand-year soulbeasts, but most of them were hidden away. Most of the soul cultivators on the continent only knew about the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, but Lu Yuan knew even more about them.
For example, the Ten Great Savage Beasts, and the Silver Dragon King, who was recuperating at the bottom of the Lake of Life. They were the true secrets of the Great Star Dou Forest.
Lu Yuan and Long Xiaoyao set off from Heaven Dou Imperial City. With Long Xiaoyao around, the two of them flew over. They arrived at the Great Star Dou Forest in just two days. This was because Lu Yuan wasn't used to flying for long periods of time. Otherwise, they would have been even faster.
Lu Yuan shook his dizzy head as he looked at the forest in front of him. Long Xiaoyao's speed was too quick, and he couldn't get used to it. He was still a little dizzy even after he landed on the ground.
However, Lu Yuan's spiritual power was very strong, and he quickly recovered.
"Is this the Great Star Dou Forest?" Lu Yuan was a little shocked as he looked at the ancient trees that reached into the sky and the forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. This was his first time in the Great Star Dou Forest, and it wasn't something that the Martial Soul Palace's Soulbeast Forest could compare to.
Indeed, only a forest like this could nurture an existence that was a hundred thousand years old or even higher.
"Elder Long, let's go in!" Lu Yuan said.
"Yes, master!" Long Xiaoyao replied.
The two of them walked into the forest. Outside the forest, there were 10-year, 100-year, and 1,000-year soul beasts. However, these weren't Lu Yuan's target. His target was the Hybrid Region.
The Hybrid Region was where most ten thousand year soul beasts lived.
The Great Star Dou Forest was generally split into the Peripheral Region, the Hybrid Region, and the Core Region. The soul beasts in the Peripheral Region were generally below ten thousand years, while the Hybrid Region was the home of ten thousand year soul beasts. As for the Core Region, it was where the hundred thousand year soul beasts lived. The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python lived in the Core Region.
In fact, they were more like gatekeepers at the border between the Hybrid Region and the Core Region. They didn't have the right to step into the Core Region, and only higher-ranked soul beasts could survive there.
For example, Di Tian, the Bear Lord, the Myriad Demon King, and other Savage Beasts were the true rulers of the Core Region.
"Master, what kind of soul beast are you planning to hunt?" Long Xiaoyao asked as they walked.
Lu Yuan muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "My first soul ring adds strength, and my second soul ring adds defense. According to my original idea, my third soul ring is to increase my offensive strength."
"Increase your offensive strength?" Long Xiaoyao nodded and said, "There's a type of soul beast in the Great Star Dou Forest that's extremely suitable for you. Their offensive strength is definitely top-notch among soul beasts."
"Elder Long, you're talking about the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear, right?" Lu Yuan smiled and said.
"Yes, master's guess is right. An adult Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear can even tear a giant dragon apart with its bare hands. The offensive strength of its claws can't be underestimated. Furthermore, the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear's defensive strength is also very strong. It can give master the perfect boost." Long Xiaoyao said.
"Yes! Elder Long, you're right. The Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear is also my first target! "Lu Yuan smiled and said.
"Oh? Do you have other options, master? "
"I do have other options. For example, the Goldmysterious White Tiger and the Earthen Sword Dragon are all within my expectations. However, the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear is still the best choice." Lu Yuan said.
"A ten-thousand-year Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear can fight against an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Such soul beasts definitely live in the Hybrid Region. They might even go deeper. It's very dangerous there. Master, don't stray too far from me later in case anything happens." Long Xiaoyao said.
"Yes!" Lu Yuan nodded.
He was very clear about his own abilities.
He could fight a ten-thousand-year soul beast, but that was only limited to ordinary ones. Furthermore, he might not be able to win. It depended on the type of soul beast. If it was a ten-thousand-year Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear, it wouldn't take much effort to kill it.
Therefore, Lu Yuan agreed with Long Xiaoyao's words.
The two of them continued forward. The outer region was very big. It wasn't realistic to want to cross it in one go. Even with Lu Yuan and Long Xiaoyao's speed, it would still take them a few days.
Five days later!
"Master, we should be entering the Hybrid Region from here. The Great Star Dou Forest is indeed huge!" Long Xiaoyao said.
Lu Yuan nodded. The Great Star Dou Forest was about the same size as the Balak Kingdom. The outer region was the largest. The two of them were able to reach the Hybrid Region in five days because they were fast. Ordinary people would need more than ten days just to cross the outer region.
Of course, they encountered many soul beasts along the way. However, with Long Xiaoyao around, these soul beasts were seeking their own deaths. Lu Yuan was able to eat the meat of many rare soul beasts along the way. It tasted really good!
After entering the Hybrid Region, Lu Yuan's expression became a lot more serious. This was where ten-thousand-year soul beasts lived. Ten-thousand-year soul beasts were very frightening. Even the weakest of them was comparable to a Soul King. They weren't something that thousand-year soul beasts could compare to.
Ten-thousand-year soul beasts possessed intelligence that wasn't much inferior to that of humans. This meant that not only did they possess tyrannical fighting strength, but they were also capable of strategizing. For example, soul beasts from the wolf clan were relatively good at using their brains.
It was only at the ten-thousand-year level that all soulbeasts underwent their first major metamorphosis. This metamorphosis manifested itself in all aspects. Of the same species, a ten-thousand-year soulbeast and a nine-thousand-year soulbeast were worlds apart. They were no longer on the same level.
