With their tasks assigned, everyone advanced into the Sunset Forest in a triangular formation.
The Sunset Forest was far smaller than the Star Dou Great Forest.
Still, it was divided into several Soul Beast zones.
The Ten-Year Zone (at the outermost edge), the Hundred-Year Zone (the second layer), the Thousand-Year Zone (the third layer), the Ten-Thousand-Year Zone (the second layer), and the Mysterious Zone (no one in the Heaven Dou Empire had ever entered it; a poisonous mist shrouded it year-round, and anyone below Soul Douluo would be poisoned upon entering).
They had just entered the Thousand-Year Soul Beast zone. The dense, flourishing woods blocked out the sunlight, leaving this stretch of forest dark and eerie.
Liu Erlong led the way, clearing a path, while Tang San followed behind her. He had already activated his Purple Demon Eye to survey their surroundings.
Zhu Zhuqing had summoned her Soul Pet, the Spirit-Summoned Azure Sky Tiger.
Ning Rongrong sat on the Spirit-Summoned Azure Sky Tiger's back, occasionally stroking the tiger's head and secretly feeding the tiger pig trotters. The Spirit-Summoned Azure Sky Tiger refused nothing, eating with such relish that those eyes narrowed into slits.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing guarded the Spirit-Summoned Azure Sky Tiger on either side.
The twin teachers, Zi Li and Zi Qi, walked backward, guarding the group's rear.
Perhaps because the group included three Soul Saints, the nearby low-level Soul Beasts did not dare approach. Even Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were hard to find.
Liu Erlong was already growing impatient. Every time she charged out, the Soul Beasts around a thousand years old fled as swiftly as rabbits.
"Wait here. I'll go catch a Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Ning Rongrong."
Liu Erlong decided to take the initiative. The instant she finished speaking, she shot off, vanishing from sight
