Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 58 Feng Xiaotian

When Yang Ping'an saw these people, he realized that almost everyone was a captain-level genius from a major soul master academy, and could be considered a prodigy.

In terms of talent alone, even if they are not as good as Tang San and Xiao Wu, they are definitely no worse than the other five members of the Shrek Seven Devils. It's a pity that none of them are the main characters, nor do they have the kind of special encounters that the main characters have.

Yang Ping'an remained neither humble nor arrogant. Although these people were talented, they were not worth his high regard, not to mention that they might not necessarily be friends or foes in the future.

Fortunately, no one from Thunder Academy came. Otherwise, they would have loved to trick those people from Thunder Academy, since Thunder Academy is backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

Yang Ping'an carefully sniffed the area within a radius of nearly a thousand meters with his Purple-Gold Mastiff. There was indeed an aura different from that of a soul beast. It should be a high-level soul master secretly protecting these genius students, and it seemed that there was more than one.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping'an didn't say anything more. He simply introduced himself and then traveled with the others.

This is the border between the outer area and the mixed area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, which can be described as extremely dangerous. Encountering ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts is quite normal, since the mixed area is mainly populated by ten-thousand-year-old to thirty-thousand-year-old soul beasts. No wonder these chosen ones of heaven got lost.

Based on the distance, the straight-line distance from Yang Ping'an's current location to leaving the Star Dou Great Forest is a full two hundred kilometers. Moreover, there are many trees in the forest, and in many places there are no roads at all. The actual distance he may have to walk is probably three hundred kilometers.

Yang Ping'an didn't want to show off his strength throughout the journey, and simply led the group slowly. The Purple-Gold Mastiff, on the other hand, walked in front, looking arrogant and domineering, completely unlike its usual silly and cute self.

Everyone was puzzled by the Purple-Gold Mastiff's appearance. Feng Xiaotian and the others were all elite students of the academy, with extensive knowledge of both martial spirits and books. In particular, Feng Xiaotian had even participated in the previous Soul Master Competition.

The group walked and stopped, sometimes taking detours and sometimes speeding up. After walking for a long time, they still hadn't encountered a single powerful soul beast, which puzzled them.

When everyone stopped to rest, Feng Xiaotian seemed a little hesitant to speak, but finally said, "Student Yang, may I ask why you were able to summon your Martial Soul? And I felt it was strange the whole time, as we didn't encounter a single thousand-year-old Soul Beast."

Everyone was also curious, as it was rare to see a Soul Master summoning their Martial Soul and walking in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yang Ping'an just smiled slightly: "Feng, my martial soul is called Purple Gold Mastiff. It may be relatively weak, and the soul power consumed when it is summoned is relatively low, so it can be summoned for a long time. Moreover, the Purple Gold Mastiff has a very sensitive sense of smell and can detect within a certain range."

"On the way here, I tried to avoid those thousand-year-old soul beasts by relying on the Purple-Gold Mastiff's sense of smell, so the journey was relatively smooth."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. They couldn't believe that such a bizarre martial spirit existed in the world, and that it could be used in such an unusual way.

Especially considering the unruly appearance of the Purple-Gold Mastiff, it didn't seem like a weak martial soul no matter how you looked at it. Even those with relatively high-level martial souls felt the pressure from the Purple-Gold Mastiff. Even Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix martial soul was somewhat wary of the Purple-Gold Mastiff.

Even during his rest time, Yang Ping'an did not summon the Purple-Gold Mastiff back into his body, showing unusual caution.

When everyone saw the golden mastiff lying next to them, looking like it was about to fall asleep, they became even more curious and couldn't help but want to tease it. Especially when everyone was about to eat, the golden mastiff stared at the food in their hands, but its eyes were devoid of any color.

Shui Bing'er immediately became curious: "Yang, can your golden mastiff eat? It seems quite interested in our food."

Yang Ping'an glanced at the Purple-Gold Mastiff, which seemed a little aggrieved and immediately closed its eyes to rest.

Yang Ping'an smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, Shui Bing'er. My martial soul, the Purple Gold Mastiff, can indeed eat, but it has high requirements for its food, and I am quite strict about its diet."

"So what do you usually feed this Tibetan Mastiff?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "I usually don't let him eat, unless it's the meat of a certain type of soul beast. If he really feels hungry, I will summon it back into my body to absorb energy."

Everyone gasped in surprise upon hearing this, and some even found it strange. Soul beast meat with attributes was hard to find, and the requirements for eating were a bit too high.

After resting for about ten minutes, Yang Ping'an stood up and said, "Let's go. We're still more than 200 kilometers away from leaving the Star Dou Great Forest. At our speed, it will probably take us two days. We'll need to find a place to rest tonight."

Feng Xiaotian and his group can be considered the chosen ones of heaven. They are excellent in terms of execution and other aspects. They are relatively vigilant when they move around, and each of them is quite respectable.

They occasionally encountered a few hundred-year-old or ten-year-old soul beasts that suddenly appeared on the road, but Feng Xiaotian and his companions easily dealt with them, which showed that these people were all very strong in combat.

When night fell, Yang Ping'an led everyone into a large abandoned soul beast nest. Everyone present twitched their lips. They always went out to hunt soul beasts with their elders, so why would they need to hide?

Seeing that Huo Wu and the other girls seemed a bit overwhelmed, Feng Xiaotian quickly approached Yang Ping'an: "Yang, can't we rest in some open space tonight?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "I've always preferred to stay alone in the Star Dou Great Forest. At night, many ferocious soul beasts come out to hunt for food, which is much more dangerous than during the day. It's better to hide as much as possible."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked extremely dejected. However, considering the danger, they all crowded into the nest. Feng Xiaotian, who had been sticking to Huo Wu, was kicked away. Clearly, the three girls were huddled together, guarding against something.

Yang Ping'an even made several arrangements at the entrance of the nest, eventually blocking it completely.

As for the lighting issue, Yang Ping'an simply took out a Star Moon Stone, a pure natural mineral that emits soft starlight, so there was no need to worry about attracting the attention of soul beasts.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, no one dares to truly sleep at night; everyone sits on the ground meditating, and of course, something is laid out on the ground.
