"Roar!" A clear eagle cry resounded, and a massive eagle with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters soared out from the mountaintop, pursuing Shi Yu.
Shi Yu walked on air, covering hundreds, then thousands of meters in a blink, his speed even surpassing that of the thousand-year-old eagle.
This speed greatly surprised the thousand-year-old eagle, its feathers glowing with a special light, its energy suddenly becoming violent, and its speed sharply increasing.
It used its innate skill to pursue, seemingly wanting to compete with Shi Yu.
Shi Yu fled as much as possible, fearless of the thousand-year-old eagle as long as there were no power restrictions on his Teleportation.
The eagle's speed was fast, but Shi Yu's speed was even faster.
In this state, he could run a thousand kilometers in over thirty minutes, something the thousand-year-old eagle could not do.
Soon, the distance between them widened until the eagle could no longer see Shi Yu's back.
"Roar!" The eagle let out an angry cry, feeling greatly humiliated.
After shaking off the eagle, Shi Yu arrived at the top of a new mountain peak, still finding nothing.
He continued searching mountain after mountain like this; his relatively fast speed made the search quite convenient.
After searching over thirty mountain peaks with no results, Shi Yu found a place to rest.
The main priority was to recover his consumed spirit power; ensuring full spirit power was essential in the dangerous Sunset Forest.
Spirit Beasts could be seen on most of these mountain peaks, primarily flying Spirit Beasts, many powerful ones occupying the mountaintops as their habitats.
Weaker flying Spirit Beasts mainly resided around the mountain body.
"There's mist there," Shi Yu finally discovered something after searching for most of the day.
Mist enveloped a distant mountain peak, distinguishing it from the surrounding mountains.
This caught his attention; if he remembered correctly, the top of that mountain peak had energy mist formed by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Shi Yu headed in that direction, intending to investigate, only hoping to succeed.
As he drew closer, Shi Yu sensed the difference in the spatial energy of this area.
He was particularly sensitive to space and could clearly perceive that the spatial energy in this area was quite active.
Its active properties were likely ice and fire.
Shi Yu really wanted to land on that mountain peak to confirm it carefully, but to be safe, he decided to land and recuperate first.
After recovering his spirit power to its peak, he then slowly and cautiously flew up the mountain peak.
Being able to fly through the air made climbing a mountain a simple task for him; what truly made him feel difficult was Dugu Bo.
"Don't be home, don't be home," Shi Yu prayed in his heart, hoping his luck would be a little better.
As he ascended, he paid close attention to the cave entrances around the mountain body; if this was that mountain peak, there would be a cave entrance at a certain location on the mountain body, where Dugu Bo usually resided.
Perhaps his position was different, as he did not find any large cave entrances.
He gradually ascended to the height of the mountaintop, landing on the peak with a guilty conscience, where there was a sunken area ahead.
Shi Yu slowly floated over, making sure not to make any footsteps.
Upon closer inspection, he indeed saw the valley located at the mountaintop, which was the place he was looking for.
"I finally found it," Shi Yu rejoiced inwardly.
He constantly reassured himself not to get excited; finding it did not mean he could be happy yet; he still had to be careful of Dugu Bo.
He stood at the edge of the valley, looking down for a while, but due to the thick energy mist inside, he couldn't see clearly and couldn't determine if Dugu Bo was down there.
After a moment of hesitation, he still slowly descended into the valley, prepared to Teleport away at any moment.
As long as his reaction was fast enough to quickly and continuously Teleport away before Dugu Bo realized he could quickly escape, then he really might be able to escape from Dugu Bo's grasp.
As long as the distance was sufficiently wide, even if Dugu Bo unleashed the powerful might of a Titled Douluo, it might be difficult to restrain him.
If he couldn't be restrained, then the chance of escape could be said to be one hundred percent.
He was confident in his speed, and his ability to easily overcome dangers when encountering multiple Spirit Beasts along the way also proved his capability.
Shi Yu passed through the thick energy mist and could already see the scene inside the valley.
It was like entering a diverse flower garden; at a glance, there seemed to be no duplicate plants.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the center was particularly striking, one red and one blue, subtly forming a Tai Chi pattern, with a clear boundary.
Centered around it, the surrounding plants were dazzling to behold.
Shi Yu did not rush to look at these medicinal herbs but instead carefully searched for Dugu Bo's figure.
He wasn't hoping Dugu Bo was here, but rather to ensure he wasn't here.
After careful searching and feedback from space, he could basically confirm that Dugu Bo was not at this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"It seems my luck is pretty good," Shi Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know if Dugu Bo was somewhere else on this mountain peak, but it was good that he wasn't here.
Even better, Dugu Bo probably hadn't discovered his arrival here yet.
Of course, it was also possible that Dugu Bo wasn't on this mountain peak at all, but rather in Heaven Dou City.
He remembered that Dugu Bo was Prince Xue Xing's senior guest elder; normally, if he had nothing to do, he should be with Prince Xue Xing, and perhaps only when his own toxins acted up would he come here to use the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress the toxins and alleviate the pain.
"I need to hurry," Shi Yu calmed his excited emotions and began to search.
Stealing things from someone else's medicinal garden naturally couldn't be done slowly.
Furthermore, this place contained violent mixed ice and fire energy, making it unsuitable for prolonged stay.
He had to quickly find the Fiery Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to consume and undergo the Ice Fire Golden Body, which was one of his purposes for coming to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Ice Fire Golden Body would not only allow him to adapt to the energy here but also enhance his physical strength and make him immune to ice and fire energy, giving him a natural advantage when encountering ice and fire-attribute Spirit Beasts in the future.
Shi Yu floated in the air, not daring to land; walking on the ground would inevitably touch some plants, which might be highly poisonous, and he didn't want to suddenly collapse from poisoning while walking.
Not touching them was best; as for the smell, there was no way around it, he could try to minimize inhalation, but he couldn't stop breathing, and it was hard to guarantee he wouldn't ingest some toxic substances.
However, he had consumed the nine star begonia flower, so some relatively weaker toxins couldn't poison him.
"This should be the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass," Shi Yu found a plant with eight icy leaves on the side of the Cold Spring, which matched the image of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass in his memory.
After noting its location, he Teleported to the Yang Spring on the other side and found a plant as red as fire.
Shi Yu stared at it for a long time, then searched the entire area, finding no second plant of the same level as this one, basically confirming that this was the Fiery Apricot.
