"Shasha, Shasha..."
A slight sound of footsteps sounded in the dense jungle. A clump of weeds that was as tall as a person was separated from it. Then seven figures walked out one after another and stopped next to a towering tree. The person taking the lead held a gray scroll in his hand and examined it intently.
These five men, two women and a group of seven people were none other than Bai Yunfei, Zhang Yunpeng and others.
"Brother Zhang, this seems to be a second-level area, right?" Bai Yunfei roughly estimated the distance traveled by everyone and asked Zhang Yunpeng.
Zhang Yunpeng raised his head and looked around, nodded and said: "It should be so. I didn't expect that just passing through the first-level area would be more troublesome than usually passing through the third-level area..."
It has been half a month since everyone entered the Soul Beast Forest, and after fifteen days of traveling, they have only just passed through the first-level area. However, in this artificial geographical division, there are usually only first-level soul beasts in this area, but Bai Yunfei and others encountered several fourth-level soul beasts on the way.
There is no doubt that this is naturally affected by the previous beast tide. Many soul beasts just returned to the soul beast forest, and did not return to their original territory without all the rules, causing even the first-level area to be so chaotic.
That said, zoning doesn't quite work anymore—at least for a while. The most detailed map of the soul beast forest that Bai Yunfei bought, the most important information such as the distribution of soul beasts recorded on it, has almost no effect. Now it is at best an extremely detailed topographic map. That’s it.
Bai Yunfei swatted a small insect that landed on his shoulder and asked: "If we continue like this, when will we reach the fifth level area?"
Zhang Yunpeng shook his head and said: "In the past, it would have taken about two months to reach the fourth-level area. If it were the fifth-level area, it would take one month or two months... But the current situation is completely unpredictable. No one can say I don’t know what soul beast we will encounter next and be blocked from traveling.”
"Is that so..." Bai Yunfei nodded slightly, then frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Brother Zhang, with all due respect, your trip is to find the purple-crowned snake, and you said before that it was because you got the news that there is a purple-crowned snake somewhere. Crowned snakes are everywhere, but now that the tide of beasts has passed, I'm afraid... Do you have any other ways to find purple-crowned snakes?"
After listening to his words, Zhang Yunpeng's expression dimmed. He hadn't thought of this, but he just didn't want to give up. He was silent for a moment and sighed: "Alas... Brother Bai is right. The current situation is completely based on two eyes." Searching in the dark, the soul beast forest is so huge, and there are countless soul beasts. It is really difficult to find rare soul beasts of a specific level and type... However, I can no longer wait for the next news, regardless of success Or not, I’m going to give it a try!!”
The day after the previous beast wave ended, Zhang Yunpeng actually started asking around to see if there was a purple-crowned snake in this beast wave. He hoped that it would be best if he could directly exchange for the snake crown he wanted. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, he only found a late-level fourth-level purple-crowned snake in the end, which didn't meet the requirements at all. Or maybe, there was actually a late-level fifth-level Purple Crowned Snake, but it escaped or the person who killed it had already left... In short, after being disappointed, Zhang Yunpeng still refused to give up and entered the Soul Beast Forest as originally planned, hoping that Purple-crowned snakes can be found.
"Senior brother, don't be discouraged. There is no hope at all. Although purple-crowned snakes are rare, there must be quite a few of them in such a large soul beast forest. As long as we search longer, we will definitely be able to find them. Maybe... Maybe we will encounter it directly in this second and third level area. Didn't we encounter a level five one-horned green python that is as rare as the purple crown snake yesterday?" Ye Zi walked to Zhang Yunpeng and comforted softly, At the same time, he quietly turned around and glared at Bai Yunfei, blaming him for not attacking Zhang Yunpeng with words.
"Haha, Ye Zi is right, Brother Zhang, don't be too negative, I think we will definitely be able to find the Purple Crown Snake." Bai Yunfei smiled helplessly, thinking that I was not wrong, just a casual reminder, Just in case the greater his hopes, the greater his disappointment.
"Well, don't worry, everyone, I'm fine. I won't give up so easily." Zhang Yunpeng put away the disappointment on his face and said to everyone, "Thank you all for being willing to accompany me into the Soul Beast Forest in such a chaotic time. I’ve come to take a risk, no matter whether it’s successful or not, Zhang Yunpeng will be grateful!”
"Hey! What are you talking about between brothers! You treat us like outsiders!" Kun patted Zhang Yunpeng's shoulder with dissatisfaction, "We just walked through the first level area. The Soul Beast Forest is so big, we all searched Once again, it’s impossible to find the purple-crowned snake.”
Zhou Feng and others on the side also smiled and nodded. A touch of emotion flashed in Zhang Yunpeng's eyes, and he smiled and said: "That's right! Let's keep moving forward!"
Everyone was about to move forward when Zhang Yunpeng and Long Que, who were walking in front, suddenly stretched out their hands to stop the people behind them. Bai Yunfei also frowned slightly and was about to step forward, but Long in front said: "It's just a mid-level fifth level. give it to me."
As he spoke, he took two steps forward gently. In a flash of his right hand, three swords appeared in his hand. He put one in his mouth and bit it. He held one in each hand and bent his arms behind his right shoulder. The knife was perpendicular to the back of the sword he was biting horizontally, and his eyes were staring sharply ahead.
"Roar!!" At the same time as he made this stance, the trees in front of him shook, and a powerful soul power erupted. At the same time, a huge figure jumped out and rushed towards everyone - mid-level five, Youxing Leopard!
"Santo-ryu...Tiger Hunting!!"
It's fast, Long's speed is faster than it! After this desperate spirit beast jumped three meters, Long's figure disappeared in an instant, and then a purple shadow appeared behind it in a flash, with its body slightly arched, its arms stretched flat on both sides, and the sword in his hand hanging down. To, a little bit of blood dripped.
"puff!!"
Several criss-crossing bloody mouths appeared on Youxing Leopard's body. With a howl, the huge body crashed down two meters in front of everyone. Purple Lei Yuan Power even overflowed from its mouth and nose. After a moment of twitching, Then he stopped moving.
"..." Bai Yunfei looked at Long who put away his sword and walked back, and was filled with admiration in his heart. Every move Long made was as fast as lightning, and he almost always won with one move, and he looked so powerful. .
"Alas, it's another mid-level fifth-level soul beast... Is this still a second-level area? If those ordinary weak teams broke in without knowing the situation, I don't know how miserable it would be." Kun glanced at the Youxing Leopard. corpse, sighed.
The fact is that there are indeed many soul masters who entered the soul beast forest after the beast tide. Everyone wants to take advantage of this situation to kill more soul beasts, but the huge benefits naturally come with greater risks. There are many people who have lost their lives in the first and second level areas for this reason.
Everyone continued to move forward, passing straight through the second-level area and entering the third-level area. Different from the previous journey, during the more than twenty days of traveling through the entire third-level area, they hardly encountered souls. Beast, according to Zhang Yunpeng, this is a bit like the usual first-level area.
After entering the fourth level area, Bai Yunfei clearly felt the difference. Powerful soul beasts could be encountered from time to time. In order to avoid trouble, everyone often took careful detours and moved forward slowly with constant vigilance. In this area where there were originally many Level 4 soul beasts, there were also quite a few Level 5 soul beasts. For this reason, everyone did not rush to enter the Level 5 area directly, but carefully searched the Level 4 area for ten days. , hoping to find the purple-crowned snake here, but in the end found nothing...
Finally, after entering the Soul Beast Forest for three full months, Bai Yunfei and others entered the truly dangerous area in the Soul Beast Forest - the fifth level area.
