Sunset Forest, a forest located in the southwest of Heaven Dou City, is located to the north. The trees inside are mainly coniferous forests, and the terrain is higher in the east and lower in the west.
The midday sun shines into this vast forest, but it fails to cause any ripples. Except for the area with sparse trees at the edge of the forest where the sunlight can be felt, the rest of the place exudes a lonely and desolate dim color.
Zhu Ziyang The four of them landed at the northeast corner of Sunset Forest, which was the main entrance to Sunset Forest. A winding path extended from the official road and spread to the edge of the forest before disappearing.
"Let's go in." Yan Shaozhe said, looking at the dim forest.
"No problem." Zhu Ziyang nodded, and then said to Jiang Nannan, "Nannan, it's up to you from now on!"
"Understood!" Jiang Nannan nodded confidently.
The group entered Sunset Forest directly.
There is a very obvious difference between Sunset Forest and Star Dou Forest, which they often go to. The vegetation of Sunset Forest is relatively sparse and the types are slightly different. The vegetation in Sunset Forest is almost all straight coniferous trees and low thorn shrubs. The distance between the trees is also large, and the trees do not interfere with each other.
As soon as they took a few steps, they met Soul Beast, a weak Soul Beast with only ten years of cultivation. After feeling the aura of the four people, they didn't dare to get close and ran away without looking back. None of them paid attention and continued walking forward.
Along the way, they encountered many Soul Beasts, but they were all Ten-Year Soul Beasts and none of them Hundred-Year Soul Beasts, which made them feel a little unusual.
"We have already entered the forest some distance away. Why are all the Soul Beast we encounter Ten-Year Soul Beast?" Jiang Nannan asked.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!" Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er both looked thoughtful, Yan Shaozhe said, "This Sunset Great Forest After all, is also a Soul Beast settlement, but Soul Beast is so weak. This must be due to the problem, perhaps, it is related to the miasma in the depths that shoots straight into the sky!"
"Let's move on." Zhu Ziyang said, "The core of a forest is only the center. When we get to the center of this Sunset Forest, we may be able to figure out the reason."
"Zi Yang is right." Cai Mei'er agreed.
"Okay, then let's speed up!" Yan Shaozhe made a decision and said, "Mei'er, you take junior sister Nannan, I will take my junior brother, let's speed up!"
With that said, Yan Shaozhe grabbed Zhu Ziyang's arm, Cai Mei'er grabbed Jiang Nannan's arm, and the four of them rushed towards the depths of Sunset Forest.
The light in the forest was dim, and everyone's perception of time became dull. After advancing for dozens of miles, they stopped and took a break.
"This should be considered the middle of Sunset Forest." Yan Shaozhe flew into the sky, roughly judged the direction, and landed on the ground before saying.
"Central!" Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan both exclaimed, "No way? In the middle of a forest, there are only some Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Isn't it too outrageous?"
Zhu Ziyang really didn't expect that Sunset Forest, which is famous in history books, would decline to the current level. There are only some Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the central region, not even one that is ten thousand years old. This is too outrageous.
"It's really outrageous!" Yan Shaozhe said with a solemn face, "We also found a lot of Soul Beast corpses along the way. Their skeletons are quite complete. They obviously did not die from fighting, but from an unknown reason."
"Miasma!" Cai Mei'er said with fear in his eyes, "No wonder Sunset Forest's miasma is so serious. These dead Soul Beast corpses are natural miasma catalysts, and the catalyzed miasma will continue to poison Soul Beast, the poisoned Soul Beast will continue to generate miasma, and this will form a cycle! I am afraid that if this continues, the entire high Sunset Forest will be filled with miasma and become a real miasma forest! By then, Heaven Dou City may be affected!
"Who is this force? It's so vicious!" Yan Shaozhe said in a hateful voice with a fierce look on his face.
"Brother Grandmaster, little senior sister, let's move on." Zhu Ziyang said, "Maybe the truth lies ahead."
The four set out again. However, before walking a kilometer, I had to stop.
"This is..." All four of them looked shocked, staring at the air in front of them.
Ahead, the trees are still straight, but there are no leaves left. The trunks of some trees have become riddled with holes, and the places where the bark has fallen off are glowing with a dark purple. In the air, there are colorful clouds one after another. At first glance, it seems like you are in the clouds, but in fact, these colorful clouds are gray-white.
"Miasma!" Yan Shaozhe said coldly, his eyes extremely cold.
"Brother, let's go to the sky!" Cai Mei'er suggested. "These miasmas are already strong enough to corrode Soul Power. Even our Soul Power can't effectively resist them. It's better to go to the sky."
"Okay!" Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement, and then took Zhu Ziyang directly into the air without waiting for him to speak.
Zhu Ziyang clearly felt that as they took off, the surrounding air became brighter. When they broke through the canopy of more than ten meters and reached the sky above the entire forest, everyone was stunned. For the first time, they saw the true face of Sunset Forest.
The forest below is extremely silent, and a light mist fills the forest. The mist seems to be flowing, and the deeper it goes, the thicker it becomes, so thick that it has turned into clouds. At the deepest position, the clouds have formed a colorful barrier. Those colorful clouds are not as gorgeous as they should be, but exude a sense of awe that makes all living things flinch.
"There!" Yan Shaozhe and Cai Mei'er said after accurately capturing that location.
"Yes, that's right there!" Jiang Nannan also pointed to that location and said, "I can feel that there are a lot of spiritual grasses there!"
"That seems right!" Zhu Ziyang said with surprise on his face, "Under that miasma, it is very likely that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is there. The miasma in this forest is used to cover up the location of Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"
"Let's go and take a look!" Yan Shaozhe showed a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and immediately flew towards the thick miasma cloud, followed closely by Cai Mei'er. Soon, they arrived at the edge of the miasma cloud.
"We can't get any closer," Yan Shaozhe said. "If you get closer, junior brother, you will be in over your head. Mei'er, hold on to junior brother, let me see if I can dispel this miasma."
He handed Zhu Ziyang to Cai Mei'er, then took a step forward and released Martial Soul. Nine Soul Rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black rose behind him. The fourth Soul Ring lit up. Yan Shaozhe opened his arms, and a blazing light ray shot towards the miasma cloud.
Then, a scene that shocked everyone happened. After Yan Shaozhe's Soul Skill hit the clouds, it was easily swallowed by the miasma clouds without any fluctuations, without causing any gaps!
"This..." Yan Shaozhe looked very ugly, and then used the sixth Soul Skill again. As a result, the cloud layer still swallowed his Soul Skill easily, and the entire miasma cloud layer did not produce much fluctuation.
Yan Shaozhe felt greatly insulted, and he used Martial Soul Avatar without hesitation. A huge golden Radiant Phoenix appeared in the sky above the forest, and the phoenix lifted Lifting Shenjun's head, Ninth Soul Ring lit up, and the huge body suddenly emitted a brilliant light. Each of the golden Phoenix Flames like meteors hit the miasma cloud like a doomsday attack.
A Super Douluo performed in the Martial Soul Avatar state, Ninth Soul Skill, always shook the miasma cloud layer that stretched for dozens of miles. The clouds were instantly dismissed, revealing a looming valley below.
Just when everyone thought the problem was solved, the miasma clouds that had been dispersed by Yan Shaozhe actually began to reassemble. The speed was so fast that when everyone noticed, more than half of it had gathered, leaving only a gap the size of a house.
"This..." Yan Shaozhe was going crazy. An unprecedented sense of humiliation came to his heart. He had never been so humiliated before. This miasma was really abominable.
He was about to fight to the death with this miasma cloud, but was stopped by Cai Mei'er.
"Senior brother, stop!" Cai Mei'er shouted, "This miasma cloud is not an entity. No matter how many times you attack, it will be useless. They seem to be conscious and playing tricks on you. I think they must be controlled by someone! The person who controls them is most likely in the forest below. Let's go down and take a look!"
"Okay! I listen to you, Mei'er." Yan Shaozhe also regained his senses, directly put away Martial Soul Avatar, and flew towards the bottom of the forest.
"Alas!" Cai Mei'er sighed helplessly, and then flew down with Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan.
