Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 42: Deep into the Mixed Zone

After resting, everyone continued to move forward. After successively dealing with several soul beasts that came to cause trouble, everyone was already going deeper and deeper into the mixed area.

Because they were searching horizontally, they always kept a sufficient distance from the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Of the four regions of the Star Dou Great Forest, the largest are undoubtedly the Outer and Mixed Zones. The Core Zone is much smaller. Of course, the soul beasts that inhabit the Core Zone are also extremely powerful. Without some formidable background, which soul beast would dare to enter and live in the Core Zone?

As for the core area, in the center of the core area, that is the land of great danger. The land of great danger is a forbidden area that human spirit masters dare not easily set foot on.

The distribution of the Star Dou Great Forest, strong inside and weak outside, made sense. The further inward Wu Xuan went, the richer the breath of life in the air became. This breath of life was beneficial to all living things. Presumably, the most dangerous place in the core area was actually a blessed place, the most suitable place for soul beasts to cultivate.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, ushering in night. The mixed zone now looked quite different. The roars and howls of spirit beasts could be heard from time to time, along with the distant and long chirping of insects and birds that surrounded them.

"The third soul skill, Golden Crow is really hot!"

As Wu Ming swung his palm, the scorching Golden Crow True Fire exploded and directly blew away the thousand-year-old soul beast Steel-fang Wild Boar that rushed out to attack everyone.

"With such little ability, you dare to rush out and attack me. A pig is a pig. Even if you have practiced for a thousand years, you don't have any brains." Wu Ming put his hands on his hips and stepped on the pig's head of the steel-toothed wild boar, cursing. As if he was still not satisfied, he stomped on the pig's head twice.

Wu Ming's ferocious display completely overturned Wu Xuan's initial perception. He finally understood what Chu Qingtian meant by that. He understood the meaning of the inner courtyard's active volcano. Along the way, any low-level soul beast that had attacked them, if its carcass was of little value, would be instantly roasted to charcoal by the roaring Golden Crow True Fire. Some would even be left with nothing. The Steel-Toothed Wild Boar before him was relatively fortunate; at least its carcass remained intact.

"See, Junior Wu Xuan, this is her true face. When you enter the inner courtyard in the future, don't be fooled by the pretending appearances of those senior sisters in the inner courtyard. You must know that on the mainland, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names." Chu Qingtian, who was standing aside, whispered to Wu Xuan.

"Yes, yes, yes! Senior Chu, you are really a good senior." Wu Xuan kept giving a thumbs up.

"Chu Qingtian, what are you talking about?!" Wu Ming raised his head and glanced at Chu Qingtian.

"Ah! Nothing! My junior brother Wu and I were just chatting, haha!" Chu Qingtian hooked Wu Xuan's neck and said calmly.

Wu Xuan also nodded quickly.

"It's okay, come over and deal with this steel-toothed wild boar." Wu Ming said with a serious face.

"Yes, yes, I'll be right there." Chu Qingtian hurriedly trotted over. With just a few swings of his sword, the steel-toothed wild boar was instantly cut into several pieces and put into the soul guide.

Zhang Lexuan, standing nearby, ignored the three playful people. She glanced at the sky through the mottled shadows of the trees and said in a deep voice, "We should be deep in the middle of the mixed zone now. It's not conducive to moving forward at night, so let's rest here today. Ming'er, Wu, go clean up this area."

After hearing Zhang Lexuan's instructions, Wu Ming stopped arguing with Chu Qingtian and walked in the direction Zhang Lexuan pointed.

This is a relatively high earth slope. Although it is surrounded by bushes, it is the place with the best view.

When you arrive at the Star Dou Great Forest, the most correct choice is to be cautious and stay well rested, because hunting for spirit rings is mostly a matter of luck. After all, no one knows where to find the most suitable spirit beast.

Wu Ming's Golden Crow Fire surged out, and the dense bushes around him withered quickly, and turned into ashes the next moment.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan stepped forward and waved his hand. A howling wind instantly blew away the ashes, revealing a large, relatively flat open space.

Zhang Lexuan placed two mats made of soul beast fur on the open space, and the four of them sat down.

Zhang Lexuan and Wu Ming sat on one, while Wu Xuan and Chu Qingtian sat on another. They sat opposite each other.

If you go deep into the mixed zone of the Xingdou Great Forest, you will have to sleep outdoors. Because you need to be prepared for any eventuality, sleeping in a tent is absolutely impossible.

Zhang Lexuan looked at everyone and said thoughtfully, "The mixed zone is densely populated by soul beasts, but judging from our recent journey, there shouldn't be any powerful soul beasts that have made this area their own territory. Ming'er and I will take turns guarding the night tonight. Ming'er, you will guard the first half, and I'll take charge of the second half. As for Junior Brother Chu and Junior Brother Wu, you two can rest assured and rest."

"Does anyone have any objections?"

"Senior Sister, I'm fine." Wu Ming stood up and nodded readily.

"Wu Xuan, come sit next to me." Wu Ming had just walked a few steps away when Zhang Lexuan's soft voice suddenly rang out. Wu Xuan was about to speak when he was stunned by Zhang Lexuan's voice. He thought he had misheard. But when he met Zhang Lexuan's gentle and clear eyes, he was sure he hadn't heard correctly.

Chu Qingtian didn't wink at Wu Xuan this time. If it were any other senior sister from the inner courtyard, they might have made some jokes, but he couldn't say such words in front of the senior sister.

It's not for any other reason, it's just that Zhang Lexuan's image in the hearts of the inner courtyard students is too perfect, so perfect that no one dares to have any improper thoughts or verbal jokes.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and explained, "Before we left, the dean asked me to take good care of you on the journey. In the Starry Forest at night, anything could happen. It would be safer for you to sit between us."

"Yes, Junior Brother Wu Xuan! Senior Sister asked you to go over only for your safety. What? Are you afraid that Senior Sister will eat you? Although you are good-looking and talented, you are too young. You are not the type we like." Looking at Wu Xuan's dazed look, Wu Ming joked with a wicked smile.

"Well, Senior Sister! Senior Sister Wu Ming, there's actually no need to trouble you all so much. You don't even have to keep watch." Wu Xuan's cheeks felt a little hot when he heard Wu Ming's joke, and he touched his nose and said.

"?" Hearing this, the three of them looked at Wu Xuan in surprise.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan no longer hid his feelings and said, "My martial soul controls the wind element, so I'm extremely sensitive to the flow of air around me. You could say I have a certain level of perception within a radius of nearly a thousand meters. If there's any significant fluctuation in aura, I'll be able to detect it immediately, so there's no need for you to take turns keeping watch."

"Hiss~!" Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at Wu Xuan in disbelief.

"The martial soul's innate ability?" Zhang Lexuan asked after coming back to her senses.

Wu Xuan nodded slightly.

"Great! Then we don't have to keep watch for the soul hunt this time. Junior Wu Xuan, you're awesome." Wu Ming cheered, then took out another mat from the soul guide and lay down on his back.

Zhang Lexuan looked up at Wu Xuan, then smiled gently: "In that case, let's all rest early!" Then she took out a mat and handed it to Wu Xuan.

"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Wu Xuan took the mat and thanked her.

Not long after he lay down, the lazy voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang out from the sea of ​​​​spirituality: "Xiao Wuxuan, your senior sister's spiritual power is at a very high level. It can cover such a long range."

"Hmph! That woman is so ungrateful. Xiao Wuxuan has already told her that she can rest in peace, but she still goes through all this trouble." Bingdi's voice also sounded at the right time.

"Alright, let's get down to business first." Wu Xuan smiled helplessly. He could understand Zhang Lexuan's actions. After all, this concerned the safety of the entire team, and there was nothing wrong with a senior sister being cautious.

"Tian Meng, what is the limit of the spirit ring that my current physical fitness can withstand?" Wu Xuan asked curiously.

"Well! With your mental strength comparable to that of a Soul Douluo and your physical fitness comparable to that of a Soul Sage, it should not be a problem for you to absorb soul rings that are less than 50,000 years old. Besides, didn't I say at the beginning that I can help you seal part of the energy of the soul ring, and it is completely possible to unseal it after your physical fitness is strong enough to withstand it." Tianmeng Bingcan smiled proudly at the end.

"Well, you, a waste, are of some use now." Bingdi said with a little arrogance.

"Hehe!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled.

"Tian Meng! Do you still remember the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger you saw in my memory?" Wu Xuan said in a cold voice.

"Remember, Xiao Wuxuan, do you want to..." Tianmeng Bingcan also put away his smile and became serious.

"This time, with the strong men from Shrek Academy following me, there is no better opportunity than this. I want to kill that beast and avenge my parents. If possible, I will choose him for my fourth soul ring." Wu Xuan said gritting his teeth.

"Tianmeng, don't fall asleep again in the next few days. I will take them around the mixed zone a few more times. If you sense the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, remember to remind me."

"Hehe, don't worry! Am I the kind of person who likes to be lazy?" Tianmeng Bingcan said with a humph.
