After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhao Wuji had Ye Fan and Dai Mubai walk in front, while he took up the rear.
In a place like this, being too careful was never a bad thing.
Xiao Wu was the most excited after entering the Star Dou Great Forest. She didn't seem to think this was a dangerous place at all.
She was skipping and jumping, indescribably happy. After all, for Xiao Wu, this was like coming home.
This made Zhao Wuji frown.
But Xiao Wu didn't go beyond the limits he set, so he didn't say much.
Following the path that others had cleared, the group kept moving forward. Although they didn't have the trouble of clearing the path, they still had to be careful of the Soul Beasts that might jump out of the surrounding grass. The unknown dangers were the most terrifying.
The group had been moving for about an hour. It was now around noon.
In the past hour, they had encountered quite a few Soul Beasts.
But most of them were only ten or a hundred years old. They generally avoided conflict with these Soul Beasts.
Occasionally, some foolish ones would come looking for trouble, but Dai Mubai's tiger claws quickly resolved the issue.
"Alright, everyone take a break for a bit," Zhao Wuji's voice relaxed the group, who had been on edge.
Dai Mubai cleared away the surrounding thorns, creating a buffer zone of nearly a hundred square meters.
Everyone leaned against the trees and sat down, taking a temporary rest.
Oscar, as usual, contributed his sausages.
At this moment, no one was in the mood to appreciate whether they tasted good or bad.
Eating Oscar's sausage and drinking from his water bottle, they took a temporary break.
Zhao Wuji had ordered a one-hour rest.
This area still belonged to the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest, where high-level Soul Beasts were not common, making it relatively safe.
Their goal was to help Oscar hunt a suitable thousand-year Soul Beast, which meant they needed to go deeper.
The deeper they went, the more dangerous it would become, and the time for rest would become even more precious.
Therefore, it was essential to adjust to their best condition in a relatively safe place.
Xiao Wu leaned against Ye Fan's shoulder. He wondered why, but she, who had been so excited when they first entered the forest, had become listless after their first encounter with a Soul Beast. She seemed to be troubled by something.
Ye Fan speculated that it might be because she could sense the Titan's presence, causing her some worry.
Ye Fan was considering what to do, hoping the Titan wouldn't come.
[Xiao Wu's Soul Beast transformation aura was emitted, but was precisely captured by the Titan Giant Ape...]
"Add a 'not' in front,"
[Xiao Wu's Soul Beast transformation aura was emitted, and was not precisely captured by the Titan Giant Ape...]
That way, the Titan Giant Ape wouldn't be able to pinpoint Xiao Wu's location, and it wouldn't come.
Deep in the forest, the Titan was currently charging forward.
Suddenly, the aura of Xiao Wu that it had sensed disappeared. It wasn't exactly gone, but rather extremely chaotic, appearing here one moment, and there the next.
"Roar!"
A terrifying roar suddenly erupted, a display of impotent rage.
About half an hour after they had rested, Ye Fan suddenly spoke, "A Soul Beast is coming."
The Dolphin Knight Zombie, acting as a scout, had spotted the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake fleeing towards them.
Immediately, Zhao Wuji's gaze turned in a certain direction; he had sensed it too.
"Get up, something's approaching."
At once, everyone, including Zhao Wuji, released their Martial Souls.
The rustling sound grew from faint to loud; even Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who were Support-type Soul Masters, could clearly sense how quickly the unknown creature was approaching.
"Zhu Zhuqing, take a look and tell us what it is," Zhao Wuji ordered in a low voice.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say a word, but silently leaped up,
Her sharp claws extended, and she swiftly climbed the nearby tree, moving as if she were on flat ground, and looked in the direction of the sound.
Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice came from the tree,
"It seems to be a flying snake, but it doesn't fly very high, only about three meters above the ground. It has a fleshy crown on its head, which looks even bigger than its head, and is blood red. Its tail is quite unique, shaped like a fan."
"Its length is probably between six and eight meters."
Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. "It's a Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake. This Soul Beast is quite rare. The fleshy crown on its head has many wonderful effects,"
"Oscar, you're in luck."
"Six to eight meters, that's just under eighteen hundred years old, perfectly suitable for you."
"Lucky us."
"It's coming towards us, and it's fast,"
"But it seems to be having trouble keeping its balance."
Zhao Wuji quickly issued his orders,
"Everyone, get ready, take it down!"
The Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake was incredibly fast.
"Here it comes!"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly shouted, her first soul ring flashing as she swiftly charged downwards,
The target was the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake that was flying over.
Zzzt!
A series of noises erupted from the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake's body. Although it was just a not-very-strong Soul Beast, it was still at the thousand-year level. The defense of its snake scales was not weak at all.
However, the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake's speed had slowed down, and it was descending.
"Zhu Zhuqing, stand on the tree trunk and don't move," Ye Fan suddenly shouted at Zhu Zhuqing.
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand why, she instinctively followed his instructions.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Fan's third soul ring flashed. A grass with only three leaves, resembling a fan, appeared on the ground. It looked only about the size of a palm.
A casual stomp could flatten it.
The clover, with its human-like smile, looked at the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake soaring in the air.
"Are your feet off the ground?"
"Wrong. You don't even have feet. You won't last a lifetime."
Following that, the clover's three leaves spun violently. A fierce gust of wind arrived.
Although the wind was strong, they were not affected in the slightest.
Only one person was affected.
The Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake, which had been charging forward wildly, was forced backward uncontrollably.
Boom!
The Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake slammed hard into a tree trunk, snapping it in half.
Its body dropped to the ground with a thud, unmoving.
Although it wasn't dead, it was clearly on its last legs.
The few people present were momentarily stunned.
"Brother Fan, what plant did you just summon? It's so strong."
Ma Hongjun swallowed hard.
"It just one-shotted the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake?"
Dai Mubai was also in disbelief.
Back then, Ye Fan had nearly killed him with an unremarkable melon.
It seemed like he'd held back a lot.
