At sunset, the entire team finally entered the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The shimmering lake, reflecting the crimson sunset and veiled in a light mist, presented a particularly pleasant view.
"Caw, caw…"
At that moment, several thousand-year-level flying Soul Beasts flew past, circling above the group before slowly departing.
Qian Renxue gazed at the shimmering lake with a look of enchantment, expressing her desire to come here for boating and leisure if the opportunity arose in the future.
At this moment, Ling Yun couldn't help but breathe a secret sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xiao Wu and Da Ming listened to him, and didn't turn back.
Otherwise, including Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming, all the members of the Beast Alliance might have been caught in one fell swoop.
Ling Yun turned his little head and winked at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Hey, you old geezer, this is the legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year core area. If it were before, I wouldn't have dared come in here, even if you beat me to death.
Because the overlords of the entire Star Dou Great Forest reside around here.
But since the two overlords ran away, it's been empty, and only then did I dare come in with you guys. What do you have to say now?"
Facing Ling Yun's provocation, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned gloomy, but he didn't have time to pay attention to him.
As a powerhouse with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he had also ventured into the core area to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts before.
However, he had never seen a situation where there wasn't a single Soul Beast in both the ten-thousand-year Soul Beast area and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast area.
Moreover, the entire core area was eerily quiet at this moment, it could be described as dead silent.
If it's said that the two overlords of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast area fled to escape the pursuit of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger…
Then where did those Soul Beasts in the Myriad-Year area go? Also, where did the Three-Tailed Nether Tiger and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger go?
Golden Crocodile Douluo's thoughts became active, and he couldn't help but believe Ling Yun's words to the extent of seventy or eighty percent.
He recalled that after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's first encounter with them in the low sky yesterday, it had never appeared again.
This gave him a bizarre idea.
Could it be that after the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts fled the Star Dou Great Forest, the Soul Beasts in the Myriad-Year Soul Beast area all surrendered to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?
Therefore, they obeyed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's orders and all withdrew from the Myriad-Year Soul Beast area?
This idea, though extremely crazy, wasn't entirely impossible.
Even the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts fled upon seeing it, so the other Myriad-Year level Soul Beasts would certainly fear it even more.
Of course, he also thought it was possible that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was secretly plotting something, and perhaps it was just the calm before the storm.
He wore a serious expression, his eyes fixed on Bibi Dong as he offered his suggestion.
"Your Eminence, the Pope, I believe we should withdraw from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast area and avoid staying here overnight.
I don't know why, but I have a feeling of unease. For the young master's safety, we shouldn't take this risk."
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow, looking at him with surprise.
"Second Worship, what do you mean? You were the one who said we needed to get to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast area as quickly as possible.
Now you're saying we should leave. Have you sensed something?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded solemnly.
"Your Eminence, the Pope, have you forgotten that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger approached us yesterday when you and the young master were arguing?"
"Therefore, I suspect that the missing Soul Beasts in the ten-thousand-year Soul Beast area are very likely related to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. What could it be plotting?"
Ling Yun tilted his head, scrutinizing Golden Crocodile Douluo with a strange expression.
What? The collective disappearance of ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts was related to him?
Ling Yun was a bit baffled. If it was related to him, why didn't he know?
Next, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke with a serious expression, explaining his reasons.
"I'm afraid the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has long since used its brutal power to unify all the Soul Beasts in the ten-thousand-year Soul Beast area, making all the Soul Beasts in that area subject to its control.
Now that all the Soul Beasts in the ten-thousand-year Soul Beast area have disappeared, it's very likely they are preparing to launch a surprise attack on us late at night.
Even though we have four Title Douluo, we may be overwhelmed in the face of a Beast Tide impact..."
Woah???
Ling Yun was somewhat shocked; this old guy had quite the imagination.
He actually thought that Ling Yun had a plan to unify the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, turning the entire forest into a solid block.
However, due to the difficulty of the process, Ling Yun's plan had always remained just that—a plan, never fully put into practice.
But this old guy mistakenly believed that he had already succeeded in this step.
That's why the Soul Beasts, including those in the ten-thousand-year area, had collectively disappeared. He really did think highly of him.
However, this old guy also enlightened Ling Yun.
He thought about the reason why the Soul Beasts in that area had vanished.
It was probably really related to him, but he wasn't the main instigator, or perhaps he was only a contributing factor.
A while back, Ling Yun tirelessly visited many Soul Beast nests in the ten-thousand-year Soul Beast area, trying to persuade them to join the Beast Alliance.
During this process, he didn't hesitate to propagate the image of humans as brutal and inhumane, with a penchant for extinction.
Yesterday, he transformed into a Three-Tailed Phantom Tiger again, leading Gui and Ju, the two Title Douluo, to the nests of over twenty ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts.
This resulted in the deaths of some ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts at the hands of Gui and Ju, but some survived.
It's highly probable that these surviving ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts now believe that the human powerhouses aim to eradicate all the ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
To protect themselves, they spontaneously sought to unite all the Soul Beasts in that area, hoping to resist the human invasion.
Although Ling Yun thought this idea was somewhat crazy, it was the only explanation that made sense.
In contrast to the resistance that arose when coercing these Soul Beasts to join the Beast Alliance…
When these Soul Beasts' lives were threatened, it wasn't impossible for them to band together and resist human intrusion.
Thinking about this, Ling Yun felt this possibility was even more likely.
"Caw, caw..."
Several flying Soul Beasts that had just flown away from the lake returned and circled before slowly departing.
Ling Yun looked up at these flying Soul Beasts.
For some reason, Ling Yun always felt that these flying Soul Beasts weren't just passing by.
Bibi Dong glanced at Golden Crocodile Douluo and said coldly,
"Since Second Worship thinks we should retreat from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast area, then retreat. Is that alright?"
After she finished speaking coldly, she muttered something.
"He insisted on coming in before, and now he insists on leaving. This old thing really has a lot of issues..."
Bibi Dong's attitude clearly showed her dissatisfaction with Golden Crocodile Douluo.
This wasn't just because Bibi Dong loathed the Angel Lineage.
It was also because Golden Crocodile Douluo had repeatedly insulted Ling Yun.
As the saying goes, even when you beat a dog, you still consider the owner.
Now, Ling Yun was Bibi Dong's pet, yet Golden Crocodile Douluo repeatedly spoke harshly to him.
It would be a miracle if Bibi Dong could give that old man a pleasant expression.
Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo's old face instantly turn ashen.
Ling Yun secretly cheered in his heart, The Pope is awesome, the Pope is amazing, the Pope is V587…
