Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

The next day, Lin Yang and Xiao Wu packed all the prepared supplies into their storage soul tools and set off lightly.

Once outside the town, the two sped off.

At first, there were traces of human activity around, but the closer you get to the Starry Sky Forest, the more the surrounding environment resembles a primitive ecosystem.

The dense forest, which blocks out the sky, is like a boundless green ocean, but beneath this stunning scenery, countless hidden dangers lurk.

Here, even a hundred-year-old soul beast is at the very bottom, and a thousand-year-old soul beast can only cautiously eke out a living.

Only ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are qualified to occupy an area, while one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts are the undisputed overlords of the entire forest.

Without a doubt, this place... is a paradise for soul beasts!

Although it was Lin Yang's first time in the Star Dou Great Forest, he was on high alert because of its notorious reputation.

Besides being wary, Xiao Wu also felt a sense of ease and excitement.

This is her home, the place where she truly lived.

The two sped along, their bodies imbued with "Eye Concealment," allowing them to ignore some low-level soul beasts.

As they ventured deeper, ancient spirit beasts began to appear in the surrounding area.

However, these two or three thousand soul beasts were not his target either; the soul beasts he chose this time had to be at least nine thousand years old.

As for ten thousand years, he had considered it as well.

I just don't know if my current mental strength is enough to withstand the mental shock of a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring.

It would be hilarious if I accidentally made myself look like an idiot.

As they went deeper into the area, Lin Yang and Xiao Wu became more cautious.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Roar--!

A muffled sound, like the roar of heaven and earth, suddenly came from a great distance, but the sound still made Lin Yang and Xiao Wu's eardrums tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to come alive.

Birds took flight in fright, and beasts galloped about!

Even some ancient soul beasts that lived deep within the stars have begun to migrate outwards.

This is the power of the forest overlord; a single roar can cause turmoil throughout the entire forest.

"What on earth is Erming up to, making such a commotion?" Xiaowu covered her ears and couldn't help but complain.

Feeling the ground trembling, Lin Yang looked at Xiao Wu and whispered,

"They're probably here to see you. Go check on them."

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then finally stomped her foot.

"Then... I'll go back first. Erming might really have come out because of me."

"Okay, go ahead!" Lin Yang nodded.

"Then be careful, I'll be back soon."

"No need, we'll meet at the hotel then."

"Alright!"

After the two made their agreement, Xiao Wu turned around and, in a blur, rushed into the depths of the forest.

In just a few leaps, they disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

After Xiao Wu left, Lin Yang took a deep breath and began searching for a suitable soul beast.

A roar from the Titan Ape triggered a small but significant beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest.

This caused great distress to those who were hunting soul beasts in the forest. They were so angry that they cursed and fled without looking back, wishing they had more legs.

In this situation, continuing to hunt souls is clearly not a wise move.

Lin Yang, however, did the opposite.

Although the beast tide caused chaos, it also brought forth many spirit beasts that are rarely seen on ordinary days.

Then the choice of soul beasts will be much greater.

However, along the way, they did not encounter any particularly satisfactory soul beasts.

The selected soul beasts were either too young for him to be interested in, or too old for him to be interested in.

As expected, Lin Yang gained nothing on the first day.

But he wasn't in a hurry. The Starry Sky Forest was vast and boundless, and he hadn't even finished searching one-tenth of the mixed zone.

As night fell, Lin Yang found a secluded cave to hide in, ate some simple dry rations and jerky, and just casually ate a bite.

After finishing his meal, Lin Yang's mind stirred, and the purple soul ring beneath him flickered. He opened and closed his eyes, and his pupils instantly changed from black to blood red.

He wanted to see what the little rabbit was doing.

Just as I made eye contact with the little rabbit, two blinding beams of light suddenly pierced my eyes like headlights being turned on.

It almost blinded him.

Tears streamed down her face.

Lin Yang cursed under his breath and quickly controlled "Eye Concealment" to hide the blinding light.

"Eye Concealment" allows him to roughly "see" the strength of a Soul Master.

The stronger one is, the more dazzling and solid the light emanating from them becomes.

He had previously used this ability to pinpoint Tang Hao's location, and it also helped him avoid many powerful Soul Masters in Soto City.

Soul Masters don't display their aura at all times; the light on their bodies is mostly condensed and doesn't dissipate, so Lin Yang has gotten used to it.

These two forest overlords, however, are like oversized light bulbs, constantly proclaiming their existence.

Of course, Lin Yang was also well aware that they were intimidating all the beasts and warning the strong human beings.

After turning off the "stronger filter," Lin Yang was able to clearly see the figures of the two enormous creatures.

It was more oppressive than I had imagined. Even with the "eye concealment" technique, the overwhelming power, like a mountain collapsing, still rushed towards me.

Once it erupts, the world will change color.

At this moment, these two overlords who stood at the pinnacle of soul beasts appeared somewhat... hesitant in front of a little girl.

Especially that Titan Giant Ape, whose roar could disturb the entire Star Dou Great Forest, was now deflated in front of Xiao Wu.

There was even a hint of cautious, slightly clumsy flattery.

Although the sight of such a massive body was a bit jarring, it was undeniably hilarious.

After confirming that Xiao Wu was safe, Lin Yang disconnected from the Eye Concealment technique, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and entered a shallow meditation to conserve enough energy for tomorrow.

The nights in the Star Dou Great Forest are not peaceful, especially after a small beast tide has just passed.

The territories of many spirit beasts have been disrupted and invaded, and conflicts between spirit beasts are on the verge of breaking out.

Throughout the night, the roars, howls, and collisions of various soul beasts echoed from near and far, only gradually subsiding at dawn.

As dawn broke, Lin Yang emerged from the cave where he had been hiding and began his continued search for soul beasts.

In the end, he actually found a nine-thousand-year-old crimson gold beast.

The Crimson Gold Beast possesses both gold and fire attributes, which perfectly complements his Sun Wheel Blade martial spirit.

Lin Yang was overjoyed and was just about to launch a full-scale attack when...

"roar--!"

A roar brimming with fury suddenly erupted from the depths of the dense forest, the rolling sound waves sweeping over and making Lin Yang's ears ring.

Before it could even figure out what had happened, the Crimson Gold Beast seemed to have seen a ghost, and its aura instantly dissipated.

Even ignoring Lin Yang in front of him, he transformed into a streak of crimson-gold light and disappeared into the dense forest without looking back, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lin Yang couldn't care less about anything else.

The roar that could terrify a nine-thousand-year-old crimson beast must have come from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
