Sunset Forest Is Nothing Compared to the Magical Beast Mountain Range

The moment he thought of Sunset Forest, She Xian's heart began pounding uncontrollably.

Deep within that seemingly gloomy, sprawling sea of trees lay the greatest cheat-level treasure vault in all of Douluo Continent—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Strange Velvet Heaven-Piercing Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone...

Just tallying the names of those immortal herbs in his mind was enough to make drool nearly run from the corner of She Xian's mouth.

They were all heaven-defying divine medicines capable of cleansing one's marrow and remaking one's body!

In the original story, Tang San had relied on that place to turn his fortunes around.

Not only had he cultivated a poison-proof body immune to water and fire, but he had also turned the Shrek Seven Monsters into a whole team of freaks.

She Xian narrowed his eyes, a sly cold glint flashing through his green pupils.

By now, Tang San had probably already come to resent him because of what had happened before.

An enemy growing stronger was the greatest cruelty to oneself!

He absolutely could not let those heaven-defying immortal herbs fall into Tang San's hands like they had in the original story.

This immortal-herb heist was mine for the taking!

Besides, Qian Renxue had two genuine Titled Douluo secretly following her!

Snake Lance Douluo She Long, rank ninety-two!

Blood Thorn Douluo Pufferfish, rank ninety-two!

Although that old poison freak Dugu Bo excelled at large-scale slaughter,

in a one-on-one duel between Titled Douluo, his combat power was practically at the bottom of the pack.

Two against one—they could absolutely pin that old poison freak to the ground and beat him senseless!

From a strength standpoint, plotting to seize the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was entirely feasible.

But the key was... how was he supposed to bring this up to Qian Renxue?

She Xian rubbed his temples in frustration.

For the past two years, his cheap teacher had kept him confined in the Crown Prince's Residence like a canary in a cage. He had not even stepped outside the residence gates once.

If he suddenly blurted out, "Teacher, I know there's a super herb garden deep in Sunset Forest managed by Dugu Bo. It's full of divine medicinal herbs. Let's go rob it!"

Qian Renxue would definitely stare at him as though he were both an idiot and a spy.

Then she would interrogate him with a cold sneer until he had nothing left to hide.

There was simply no way to explain where such intelligence had come from!

"Forget it, forget it. My head is so itchy—it feels like I'm about to grow a brain."

She Xian decisively gave up on racking his brains any further.

Food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and roads had to be walked one step at a time.

Sunset Forest was right under Heaven Dou City's nose anyway, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could not grow legs and run away.

His top priority was to quickly secure his second soul ring!

Eastern Heaven Dou Empire, a hundred li east of the city.

Rolling emerald mountain ranges sprawled like crouching dragons.

This was the continent-famous habitat of wild soul beasts—Sunset Forest!

Though Sunset Forest's total area was far smaller than that of the Star Dou Great Forest, it was still a genuine untamed danger zone.

She Xian had extremely high standards for his second soul ring. Ordinary soul beasts did not even merit a second glance from him.

Naturally, Qian Renxue had no intention of settling either.

Since he was the sole disciple she had taken a liking to, he had to receive only the finest configuration!

Thus, the responsibility of searching for and sensing the most compatible soul beast naturally fell upon Little White.

Within his spiritual world, a soft, fragrant body suddenly pressed against him.

Little White's humanoid phantom was like a gentle wisp of white smoke as it silently wrapped itself around She Xian's consciousness.

Her slender, supple body pressed tightly against the boy's back. Her breath was fragrant as orchids, while her soft, sweet voice slipped straight into She Xian's ears.

"Husband~"

Little White's long, cool jade fingers lightly brushed through the depths of his consciousness as she sighed coquettishly.

"The life energy and Soul Power here are far richer than in that inferior Soul Hunting Forest from before."

"I can clearly sense quite a few powerful big fellows lurking beneath this land."

Feeling the softness against his back and hearing that soul-stirring moan, She Xian's heart nearly skipped a beat.

"Little White, can we make a deal... can you just sense things normally without talking into my ear like that?"

"I'm still growing. I can't take you tormenting me like this!"

According to Qian Renxue's explanations along the way,

most of the soul beasts in Sunset Forest were hundred-year and thousand-year level.

Ten-thousand-year soul beasts were exceedingly rare.

As for terrifying hundred-thousand-year beasts, not even a single one was known to exist here.

The overall danger level here was far lower than that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was highly suitable for three-ring Soul Elders or four-ring Soul Ancestors seeking their third and fourth soul rings.

However, compared to those petty, low-grade Soul Hunting Forests raised by the Heaven Dou Empire, Sunset Forest's danger and abundance of resources were worlds apart!

Sunset Forest's danger and abundance of resources were absolutely worlds apart!

Just as She Xian was remarking that Sunset Forest's environment was fairly decent,

an extremely haughty cold snort suddenly sounded in the depths of his mind.

"Hmph! They are merely a pile of pathetic fools unworthy of the stage."

Medusa Queen's voice was low and imposing, carrying the lofty dominance of a queen.

"The natural resources and heaven-and-earth energy here are indeed far inferior to those of the Tagore Desert where I resided."

"But... compared with the Magical Beast Mountain Range, this place is as insignificant as dust and utterly barren!"

Hearing Her Majesty's arrogant assessment, the corner of She Xian's mouth twitched violently.

"My Queen... can we not compare Douluo Continent to the world of Battle Through the Heavens?"

She Xian rolled his eyes inwardly and complained,

"In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, magical beasts roam everywhere. Spiritual medicines, spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and all sorts of heavenly treasures from first to sixth grade can be picked at will."

"And those heavenly treasures can even be refined into pills. That's a world where you can grind combat power by eating medicinal pills!"

What did Douluo have?

Aside from the few absurdly heaven-defying immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the resources one could find by the roadside were pitifully scarce!

The foundations of the worlds were completely different. How could they possibly compare?

"Xian'er, what are you daydreaming about?"

Qian Renxue, who had been walking ahead, suddenly stopped.

"Have you detected the best target here for your second soul ring?"

Qian Renxue's tone was solemn.

Her demands for her precious disciple's second soul ring were even harsher than She Xian's own.

She Xian hurriedly reined in his wandering thoughts and quietly communicated with Little White.

A moment later, he helplessly raised his head and shrugged at Qian Renxue.

"Teacher, this outer area won't do."

She Xian curled his lips and complained, "My martial soul just sensed the area. There are some auras from snake-type soul beasts related to me nearby, but their bloodlines are all trash."

"And they're all weak little chickens. They don't even meet my absorption limit and aren't worthy of our standards."

That merely fit Sunset Forest's standing.

Rather than becoming angry upon hearing this, Qian Renxue revealed a satisfied, approving smile.

"Hmph, at least you have some ambition."

"My disciple naturally cannot make do with ordinary things."

"Come, follow your teacher deeper into Sunset Forest's core region!"

"If I don't hunt you a top-tier thousand-year soul beast today, then I might as well have become a teacher for nothing."

With that, Qian Renxue led She Xian in great strides into the deep, unfathomable sea of trees and mist within Sunset Forest's core region!
