Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sunset Forest differed in many ways beyond its much smaller size.
The Star Dou Great Forest lay in the center of the continent and was the largest soul beast forest in that region.
It also fell within the tropics, so most of its vegetation consisted of tropical plants.
The Sunset Forest, meanwhile, lay in the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire. Though it was not quite in a frigid zone, its temperature was considerably lower than that of the Star Dou Great Forest, resulting in a greater abundance of temperate plants unique to the north.
Tropical vegetation felt denser and more humid.
Temperate vegetation felt somewhat fresher, but it was not nearly as dense.
That made traveling through the Sunset Forest far easier than traveling through the Star Dou Great Forest.
Powerful soul beasts, however, generally preferred tropical rainforests like the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although the Sunset Forest had plenty of soul beasts, few had cultivated for more than thirty thousand years. Still, there was certainly no shortage of those just over ten thousand years old.
To a Titled Douluo like Tang Hao, a little dungeon like the Sunset Forest was practically his own back garden.
Deliberately avoiding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang Hao sent his powerful Titled Douluo spiritual power out from his body.
He soon discovered a soul beast in a cave that was eminently suitable for Tang San: a thirteen-thousand-year-old Iron-Spined Black Bear.
Against Tang Hao's Titled Douluo combat strength, a mere thirteen-thousand-year-old soul beast lasted only the blink of an eye. The Iron-Spined Black Bear's four limbs were smashed to pulp, its proud backbone shattered, leaving it a vegetative bear.
"Xiao San, finish it off!" Tang Hao instructed Tang San.
"Okay, Daddy."
