Early the next morning, Zhang Yang sped toward Sunset Forest, several hundred kilometers away, under Sword Douluo's guidance.
Sunset Forest was, after all, a renowned Soul Beast Forest. Even rare Ten-Thousand-Year Martial Apes could be found there. While top-tier Soul Beasts were uncommon around its outskirts, venturing deep inside would still reveal many exceptional Soul Beasts with ten thousand years of cultivation.
And with Sword Douluo accompanying him, delving deep into Sunset Forest was no problem at all for Zhang Yang.
Sunset Forest remained as it had been before. Countless towering trees covered the ground in nearly half a meter of dead branches and rotting leaves. Even during the day, sunlight was rarely seen within the forest.
As the two ventured deeper, the hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Beasts that had appeared from time to time gradually vanished without a trace.
"Sword Douluo, we've entered the territory of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts." Zhang Yang surveyed the surroundings. "We can begin searching sideways."
"Mm." Sword Douluo nodded.
Unlike the cautious Zhang Yang, Sword Douluo still carried himself as leisurely as though he were strolling through his own garden.
"Roar!"
A fierce gust swept through the area, followed by a deafening beastly roar from nearby.
"Wind follows the tiger. Is there a tiger-type Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately headed toward the source of the roar.
He had not gone far when his view suddenly opened up. A massive Splendid Tiger, ten meters long and three meters tall at the shoulder, appeared before him.
Using the towering trees as cover, Zhang Yang was able to observe the Splendid Tiger's features clearly.
"With a body this large, it's a twenty-thousand-year Explosive Giant Tiger. It isn't the type of Soul Beast I need, but I can record its location and information
