Crisis-An Extreme Crisis Descends!

The middle layer of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The environment here is completely different from the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Numerous ancient trees reach for the sky.

The thick, overlapping canopies of the tree intertwine.

This prevents direct sunlight from reaching the surrounding area, making it dark and gloomy.

By this time, more than half a day had passed since Qian Renchuan and his two companions entered this middle-level area, and the three of them were cautiously continuing their advance in a triangular formation.

Along the way.

They still encountered quite a few Soul Beast.

The number of years varies from three to eight thousand.

There are even quite a few Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

However, these Soul Beasts were either too old or their attributes were completely mismatched.

What Qian Renchuan desires most is a Thousand Jun Ant over five thousand years old, a pure strength and defense type of Soul Beast, which is currently the most suitable Skin Martial Soul for him.

"Eldest Young Master, the terrain around here is getting increasingly damp; there should be Thousand Jun Ant lurking there by now."

Ivan walked at the front, using an iron rod to probe the path and constantly clearing away the weeds in front of him.

Qian Renchuan remained silent.

They simply followed silently behind.

However, at that moment, Ivan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He also raised his right hand in a stop gesture.

The Huo Sisi reacts extremely quickly.

Upon seeing this, his entire body tensed, and he instantly shifted half a step to the side, shielding Qian Renchuan behind him.

"Ivan, what's wrong?"

Ivan didn't turn around; he just stared intently at a patch of bushes a dozen meters ahead.

"It smells bloody. Very strong."

Standing behind Huo Sisi, Qian Renchuan also sniffed hard.

Um...

It smells so good...

No, that's Huo Sisi's scent.

Qian Renchuan could only take another deep breath, only then realizing that an extremely pungent smell of blood was indeed wafting over, making him want to vomit!

This is definitely not the smell left behind by ordinary battles between Soul Beast.

It's too strong!

The three of them then slowed their pace.

They cautiously made their way towards the bushes ahead, again.

But when they parted the lush vines before them, the sight before them took them all by surprise!!!

In the middle of the open space, a blood-soaked corpse was hanging from a thick tree trunk.

It was Soul Beast the size of a small calf.

His body hair was not fully grown, but at this moment, the few remaining hairs were soaked in blood and stuck stickily to his flesh.

The Soul Beast's belly was cut open by a sharp weapon, and its internal organs spilled out onto the ground along the tree trunk.

The ground was covered in large pools of crimson blood.

This attracted countless flies and insects that buzzed around.

Judging from the way he died, he was clearly tortured to death by being disemboweled while still alive!

"This is... King Kong Baboon!"

Upon seeing the corpse of the Soul Beast, Ivan gasped in shock, his face turning grim.

Huo Sisi was also startled.

Who did it?

"Ordinary Soul Master would simply kill Soul Beast and take its Soul Ring; why would they use such cruel methods to torture and kill a cub?"

King Kong Baboon?

Qian Renchuan's expression also changed.

In the continental Soul Beast encyclopedia he had seen before, it was clearly recorded that this King Kong Baboon was extremely vengeful!

Moreover, it's a typical social Soul Beast!

Adult King Kong Baboon are at least Ten-Thousand-Year.

If a member of the clan is found to have killed Soul Beast cub, especially with such horrific methods of cruelty, given the clan's established habits, the entire clan will likely descend into a state of relentless rage and a fight to the death!

This is NOT Soul Hunting!

Someone deliberately instigated the Beast Tide!

"Not good!"

Upon realizing this, Qian Renchuan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shouted,

"Run!"

"Let's retreat the way we came!"

Ivan and Huo Sisi turned around in confusion.

Qian Renchuan didn't have time to explain further, and shouted at lightning speed,

"The King Kong Baboon are social madmen!"

"The cubs died here; the smell of blood has long since dissipated."

"As soon as they smell the scent and come looking for this scene, all the Soul Beast within a radius of several miles will be stirred up and trigger Beast Tide!"

Upon hearing the words "Beast Tide".

Ivan and Huo Sisi also felt their scalps tingle instantly.

"Withdraw!"

Ivan hesitation, Ivan grabbed Qian Renchuan's wrist and was about to retreat rapidly in the direction they had come from.

But.

Just as they were about to set off...

The earth in the distance suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards.

"Roar--"

A series of extremely shrill and terrifying roars pierced through the dense Woods and echoed back.

And that sound was like a powder keg that had been lit.

The next second.

From the depths of the forest in all directions, one after another, ferocious roars of beasts echoed.

One sound after another.

Each shout was more violent than the last.

Even the ground began to tremble slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred!

Deep in the forest, a large number of birds were startled and frantically fled the area, flapping their wings.

The leaves rustled.

It was as if countless enormous creatures were charging wildly toward their location!

Upon seeing this, Qian Renchuan's face turned completely gloomy.

Damn it!

They've been discovered!

What on earth is going on?!

"Eldest Young Master, run!"

Huo Sisi let out a sharp shout.

He immediately turned around and ran with Qian Renchuan.

But the three of them had only run less than fifty meters.

A deafening roar suddenly came from behind an ancient tree on the right that required three people to encircle.

A Black-Armored Giant Lizard, over five meters long and covered in black scales, suddenly leaped out and attacked them.

"Court death!"

Ivan, who was walking in front, roared.

"Martial Soul - Lightning Wind Leopard!"

"Possession!"

Boom!!!

In an instant.

Ivan's muscles swelled instantly, his skin covered in dense leopard spots, and sharp bone claws shot out from his ten fingers.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black.

Eight dazzling Soul Ring rose up from beneath his feet.

The powerful pressure of the Soul Douluo instantly erupted.

Immediately afterward, without any pause, Ivan's third purple Soul Ring suddenly flashed brightly.

"Third Soul Skill - Extreme Lightning Rend!"

Brush!

His figure transformed into a blue afterimage.

In an instant, Ivan bypassed the Qian Renchuan and faced the three-thousand-year-old Black-Armored Giant Lizard head-on.

Call out!

The leopard's sharp claws sliced through the air.

The sound of something cutting through the air was piercing.

It even unleashed a torrent of violent lightning that struck the head of the Black-Armored Giant Lizard opposite it.

Pfft!

Just one strike.

The Black-Armored Giant Lizard's hard skull was sliced open in an instant.

Its enormous body was smashed to the ground by this terrifying force.

Blood spurted wildly.

Instant kill!

The next moment, a purple Soul Ring slowly emerged from the corpse.

But Ivan, who had instantly killed his opponent, was far from relaxed. He didn't even have time to catch his breath before turning around to look at his surroundings with a very serious expression.

Because at that very moment...

More than a dozen different roars echoed from the surrounding Woods again.

"Awoooooo..."

"Roar roar roar..."

"Waaaaah..."

"Awoo awoo..."

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

All sorts of powerful Soul Beast have surrounded us from all directions.

Danger!

Extreme danger is imminent!!!
