Wu Changkong shook his head. "This probably still isn't the core region. If we had truly reached the core region, we wouldn't be having such an easy time."
"Why?" Xue Wu looked up and asked.
"Because there are overlords here."
"Just like the Star Dou Great Forest, the core region is occupied by true beast kings. The fact that you can still see so many wandering Soul Beasts means there isn't yet a sky pressing down over their heads."
"There are Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast overlords here too?"
At those words, both women looked alarmed.
"Perhaps... more than a hundred thousand years."
"More than a hundred thousand years?!" The two women gasped at once.
Their impression of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts still rested on the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape of the Star Dou Great Forest.
If the Far North hid something even more terrifying, then wouldn't this place be the continent's most dangerous land?
"Little Monster, why are you scaring them?" Dugu Bo rolled his eyes. "Even if the Far North has an overlord, could it be fiercer than those two in the Star Dou Great Forest? Besides, with this old man here, as long as you don't walk right into its mouth yourselves, nothing will happen."
Wu Changkong did not argue. He merely sighed. "Let's just look around nearby. Don't go any farther in. What I need for my fifth Soul Ring is a Soul Beast around fifteen thousand years old. The farther in we go, the older they become, which will make them harder to find."
"That works." Dugu Bo nodded.
They stopped venturing deeper and instead searched slowly along the edge of the inner region.
They searched for quite a while but never encountered a suitable Soul Beast.
