At the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, three people were searching for a suitable Soul Beast.
The group consisted of two men and one woman. The man and woman flanked the man in the middle, protecting him. The older of the two men wore glasses. His Martial Soul was a Cat Hawk, and his name was Flender.
The hot-tempered woman in black leather was Liu Erlong. The man between them was Yu Xiaogang, a stubbly, flat-topped middle-aged man. He walked calmly with his hands behind his back.
They had come to find a Soul Beast suitable for Liu Erlong's fifth Soul Ring. Flender and Liu Erlong were evenly matched in strength, and they would have no trouble in the Star Dou Great Forest as long as they avoided its dangerous areas. Unfortunately, they had brought someone they needed to protect.
So Liu Erlong stayed beside Yu Xiaogang, while Flender used his ability to fly. He searched for a suitable Soul Beast from above and scouted the way ahead.
They searched for a long time before Flender said with an excited smile, "Erlong, I found a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a fire Attribute."
"That's wonderful. Thank you, Boss Fu," Liu Erlong said excitedly.
"Let's go take a look," Yu Xiaogang said, calm and composed.
With Flender leading and Liu Erlong protecting Yu Xiaogang, the three made their way along the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A huge lizard with flames rising from its head sensed their approach and roared angrily at them.
"Erlong, stay here and protect Xiao Gang. I'll cripple that Flame Head Lizard for you," Flender said.
"All right, Boss Fu. Be careful," Liu Erlong said.
Flender charged in first. He used the advantage of his Agility Attack System to keep the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast
