"Sunset Forest is fraught with danger. We need to be careful on this trip, or it'll be easy to get ourselves killed."

The young man appeared at the outermost edge of Sunset Forest.

At this outermost area stood a marketplace.

All kinds of mercenaries accepted jobs here, while others sold Soul Beast meat and strange items produced within Sunset Forest.

After some thought, Li Fei spent some money buying supplies just in case.

"Auntie Mercenary Group accepting jobs! Soul Beasts under a hundred years!"

"Lone Wolf Mercenary Group accepting jobs! Soul Beasts from one hundred to two hundred years!"

The mercenary groups present were shouting their lungs out, desperately promoting themselves.

It was clear that this world was highly competitive too.

"Little brother, did you come alone to hunt Soul Beasts? You can choose our Man-Eating Flower Mercenary Group first. We guarantee we'll get you a Century Soul Ring for your First Soul Ring, and at a reasonable price too~ Want to consider it?"

A playful woman blocked Li Fei's path. She had approached him after noticing that he was alone.

"No need," Li Fei said indifferently.

With that, he brushed past the woman and entered Sunset Forest.

"Going into Sunset Forest alone at such a young age? He must be some poor nobody. No need to bother with him."

At that moment, a red-haired woman walked over, stood behind the playful woman, and curled her lip.

"But he's still so young. If he goes in alone, he'll definitely die," the playful woman said with some reluctance.

The red-haired woman said coldly, "Put away your pity. Everyone has their own ambitions. If he dies, it has nothing to do with you! Just take care of yourself!"

"Let's go. We've already found a new customer over there. Pack up and prepare to enter Sunset Forest."

After saying that, the red-haired woman turned and left.

The playful woman silently watched Li Fei's disappearing figure before following the red-haired woman away.

Mornings in Sunset Forest always carried a hint of chill.

Li Fei reached up and touched the protective talisman his Teacher had given him around his neck, as well as the vine armor beneath his clothes. It gave him a fair amount of security.

When he first entered the forest, the trees were not particularly dense.

Sunlight could still filter through gaps in the branches and leaves, spilling onto the rotten leaves below.

But as he went deeper, the light gradually dimmed, and rustling sounds began to rise around him.

They were the sounds of Small Soul Beasts moving through the bushes.

He summoned the Yin Yang Willow. Its branches pierced the earth one after another and spread outward.

The willow branches connected with the surrounding vegetation, borrowing their perspectives to observe sights that human eyes could not directly see.

He stopped walking. The plants had sent him a warning.

The next second, sounds came from both his left and right.

They were not sounds that Small Soul Beasts could make.

"Ten-plus-year Soul Beasts, at least three..."

He sensed them through the vision of the surrounding plants.

This was not his first time entering a Soul Beast Forest, so he was not overly afraid.

After all, his strength spoke for itself.

Moreover, this was the outer region of Sunset Forest, where only Soul Beasts under a hundred years appeared. There would be none above a hundred years.

That greatly increased his safety!

At that moment, three pitch-black Wolf-Shaped Soul Beasts pounced out from the bushes.

Eerie green light flickered in their eyes, and corrosive saliva dripped from their fangs.

Li Fei recognized them at a glance. They were Shadow Demon Wolves!

They were pack-dwelling Soul Beasts, usually moving in small groups of three to five.

Without hesitation, he immediately summoned countless willow branches from beneath the ground.

They precisely wrapped around the forelimbs of two Demon Wolves.

However, the third Demon Wolf nimbly avoided the attack and lunged straight for his throat.

"Pfft!"

Li Fei twisted aside. A short blade appeared in his hand from his Storage Ring, leaving a bloody gash across the Demon Wolf's abdomen.

Blood splattered!

The wounded Demon Wolf howled, but instead of retreating, its ferocity was ignited.

The other two Demon Wolves, bound by willow branches, unleashed their Soul Power and shattered them.

After all, they were merely ordinary willow branches without any enhanced power. It was no surprise that they were broken.

The three Soul Beasts formed a triangle and surrounded Li Fei in the middle.

Black Mist began seeping from their fur.

This was the innate ability of the Shadow Demon Wolves, Shadow Erosion, which could weaken an enemy's Soul Power.

The next second, two more Shadow Demon Wolves appeared nearby!

Li Fei was completely surrounded!

Their auras were at least around sixty or seventy years, very close to a hundred years.

"I can't drag this out too long. What if I attract other Soul Beasts and put myself at a disadvantage?"

Li Fei's gaze sharpened. "Using numbers to bully the weak? Too bad you ran into me! I just happen to counter you!"

Wood Release: Clone Technique!

Willow branches drilled up from the ground, transforming into clones identical to Li Fei. Various forms of Elemental Power appeared around them as they charged separately at the Shadow Demon Wolves!

Faced with such numbers, the Shadow Demon Wolves were dumbfounded.

The auras emanating from these fellows were all stronger than theirs!

The next second, they decisively turned and fled.

"Trying to run now? Too late!"

Li Fei sneered.

Willow branches burst from underground and transformed into Jianmu Prisons, trapping each of the five Shadow Demon Wolves.

If they wanted to kill him, they had better be prepared to be killed by him instead!

The clones appeared within the prisons and ganged up on the Shadow Demon Wolves.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

"Awoo~~"

The Shadow Demon Wolves screamed miserably before finally rolling onto their backs, dead as doornails.

White Soul Rings rose from their bodies.

The willow branches touched them, and the Yin Yang Force activated, absorbing all five Soul Rings into the willow branches to be refined later when he had time.

As for the five Shadow Demon Wolf corpses, he stored them all in his Storage Ring to use as food.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

During this period, he had searched all around like a headless fly for traces of the Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye. He had also sent willow branches to communicate with the plants, trying to locate the Toxic Land.

Although Dugu Bo might not yet have become a Title Douluo at this point, that did not mean he had not found the Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye, claimed it as his Back Garden, and set up Poison Mist to conceal it.

In fact, Poison Mist would make it easier to find.

Unfortunately, after searching for a week, he had found nothing.

"Sunset Forest is so vast. I'll keep looking. I can also use the great power of nature here to cultivate."

Within a valley stood a house built from Ambrosial Arbor. Li Fei sat cross-legged inside, while the Yin Yang Willow behind him drove countless willow branches into the earth.

Those willow branches had already spread over a great distance, intertwining with the roots and stems of the plants.

This entire area was his territory. So long as there was the slightest disturbance, nothing could escape his surveillance.

"I've come this far. I absolutely can't give up just like this. I have to find the Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye. Otherwise, I won't leave for the next year!"

Determination flashed in Li Fei's eyes.

The Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye were extremely important to him.

They could improve his cultivation aptitude, increase his Cultivation Speed, raise several levels at once, and even evolve his Yin Yang Willow.

Now that he had seized the initiative, if he still could not take them for himself and left them to Tang San, then he would be nothing but a complete idiot!
