Standing among the dense branches and leaves of a towering giant tree, Xu Zihuang watched in silence as Huo Yuhao's thin figure gradually disappeared from sight.
He took out a fine map made of sheepskin from the storage soul guide, and after looking at it carefully, he also rushed towards the direction of the Star Dou Forest.
After meeting Huo Yuhao, the thought in his heart of going to the Star Forest not only did not dissipate, but became even stronger.
So he decided to enter the Star Dou Forest before Huo Yuhao.
With Huo Yuhao's physical fitness and his tenth-level soul power, it would take at least six days to go from the White Tiger Duke's Palace to the Star Forest. But if he diverted his soul power and hurried on, he could get there in less than a day.
If nothing unexpected happened after entering the Star Forest, he would still have enough time to return and stay by Huo Yuhao's side to prepare to intercept Hu.
Although it is not sure whether Tianmeng Iceworm and Yin Lexi will appear as before, this is the safest method.
He could only try his best.
The scenery on both sides flew back quickly. As Xu Zihuang moved at high speed, a few strands of purple hair flew up from his forehead and temples. A rare hint of anxiety appeared in his deep eyes, which were always as calm as water.
He was supposed to be imprisoned for life, but after regaining his freedom, he was like a butterfly, disrupting the original plot.
At this moment, he realized how stupid his original idea was.
But Huo Yuhao, who embarked on the journey with resentment against the White Tiger Duke, was completely unaware of this.
The temperature in the central part of the mainland is significantly lower than the temperature in the Yuenan Islands. Especially in this wilderness, shrouded in dense forests, there is a cold atmosphere in the air.
The sunset shines through the dense branches and leaves, rendering the forest near the Star Forest a golden red.
On the branches, several plump squirrels were holding fresh nuts with their front teeth.
But at the next moment, this calm and peaceful scene was suddenly broken.
Steady footsteps echoed suddenly here, trampling on the dead leaves and branches on the ground, and a tall figure emerged from the shade of the tree, calming his breathing.
"finally reached."
The visitor was none other than Xu Zihuang, who was rushing to the Star Forest.
In one day's journey from Star Luo City to the edge of the Star Dou Forest, he traveled thousands of miles. However, with his strong physical fitness, his breathing was only slightly short of breath.
The soul power consumed by traveling and the soul power recovered by himself are basically the same, and the soul power in his body is still at its most abundant state.
This is the advantage of being born with full soul power. Whether it is the speed of cultivation or the speed of recovering soul power, it is far higher than that of ordinary soul masters.
If hard work works, why do you need a genius?
Although this statement is arrogant, it is not unreasonable.
If success could be achieved through hard work alone, then Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent would not be so rare.
Looking around, Xu Zihuang found a worn-out wooden sign covered with moss.
"Fifty kilometers ahead we will enter the Star Dou Forest. There are soul beasts in and out. Please pay attention to safety."
Withdrawing his gaze from the wooden sign, Xu Zihuang turned around again and continued heading into the Star Forest.
But this time, he was much more cautious than before, and his speed also slowed down.
Over the years, the quality of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest has become higher and higher, and there is a possibility of soul beasts appearing in this area.
The air gradually became cooler, and besides the coolness, there was also an inexplicable sense of depression.
Out of caution, Xu Zihuang subconsciously activated his soul power and used his martial soul.
His originally clear deep purple eyes instantly turned into brilliant gold. But the strange thing was that after he released his martial soul, no soul rings appeared around his body.
Using a martial spirit without revealing a soul ring is actually a special method of using a martial spirit. Only a soul master who has strong control over his or her own martial spirit can do this.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. There are many powerful sects with a long tradition, and they all have ways to release their martial souls and hide their soul rings.
For example, the Qibao Glazed Sect, which is known as the No. 1 auxiliary weapon martial soul sect in the mainland.
Xu Zihuang has always maintained a uniform speed.
At this time, it was approaching night, and the light was getting darker and darker. But for him who possessed the Golden Boy Martial Spirit, it had no impact at all. This was one of the reasons why Xu Zihuang dared to enter the Star Forest at night.
However, he would not go too deep into the Star Forest to seek death. After all, there are infinite possibilities in living.
He was just trying his best, not risking his life.
As we were walking, the main road had disappeared. The surroundings were dense forests, and the air became fresher, but there was a faint sense of solemn breath coming from the depths of the forest.
Not long after, Xu Zihuang suddenly noticed a few black figures passing through the crowns of several giant trees from the corner of his eye.
Relying on the powerful dynamic vision of Golden Boy Wuhun, he clearly captured the appearance of these black figures.
It was a baboon about one meter tall, with brown hair all over its body and brown eyes. Its arms were extremely long, with sharp nails on its claws, canine teeth exposed on its lips, and its powerful hind limbs on the trunk of the tree.
He pushed hard, and one of them attacked Xu Zihuang at an obscure angle.
"A wind baboon with ten years of cultivation?" Xu Zihuang raised his eyebrows. According to the normal plot, Huo Yuhao encountered this kind of soul beast and almost died.
But unfortunately, Huo Yuhao could easily destroy the wind baboon that was difficult to resist.
Xu Zihuang just stood there quietly, as if he didn't notice at all. But the moment the wind baboon stretched out its claws behind him and grabbed his neck, his figure turned to the left without warning.
Turn sideways and avoid it perfectly.
After missing a hit, the wind baboon suddenly became furious and bared its teeth.
And at this moment, Xu Zihuang's counterattack arrived.
He lifted up his slender right leg and stamped it hard. The air around him even made a sharp whistling sound.
"Bang -" Before the wind baboon could react, its big head had been crushed into a puddle of minced meat.
The surrounding soil was sunken, forming a pit with a depth of half a meter. The dull white light condensed on the headless body of the wind baboon, forming a gleaming white soul ring.
However, Xu Zihuang did not give up because of this. The soul guide on his left wrist flashed with white light, and the short-blade whale tooth blade about two feet long was held in reverse.
Under the injection of soul power, the dark ink back of the blade instantly turned into a translucent deep purple, violent purple thunder and lightning lingered, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted.
While breathing, several rays of purple lightning passed by. Xu Zihuang continued to go deeper into the Star Forest with a calm expression.
"Bang, bang, bang--" As if in response to these purple electric lights, several charred corpses fell from the surrounding tree trunks one after another.
