Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 11 Departure, Sunset Forest

After hearing Ying Qian's words, a hint of sadness appeared between Di Tian's brows.

Over the past few thousand years, Ying Qian's talent and hard work have repeatedly refreshed Di Tian's understanding of him. Other soul beasts take at least 100,000 years to transform into humans, but Ying Qian already mastered it when he was 8,000 years old. Moreover, for the skills he taught Ying Qian, Ying Qian not only did better, but also learned from them. All of this made Di Tian very satisfied with Ying Qian as his disciple.

"Reason." Di Tian did not refuse directly, but first asked Ying Qian why he wanted to go to the human world.

Ying Qian stared at Di Tian quietly, and slowly said: "Teacher, I am very grateful for your training of me over the past few thousand years. I also know what kind of hope you have placed on me. But I think that the conflict between soul beasts and humans is almost impossible to resolve. As long as the profession of soul master exists, the soul master's demand for soul rings will not disappear. Hunting soul beasts is the only way for humans to improve their strength, but our soul beasts' diet is not based solely on humans. This is a completely unequal relationship."

Hearing Ying Qian's words, Di Tian sighed deeply and said, "I know what you said, but do you have any better method?"

"Teacher, I think there are only two options if we want the soul beasts to change their current situation. First, solve the demand. As long as there are no more human soul masters on this continent from now on, the human demand for hunting soul beasts will be greatly reduced." Ying Qian continued.

"Second, create demand. Humans hunt soul beasts just to obtain soul rings to enhance their own strength. If we can use the power of humans to create soul ring substitutes or artificial soul rings, then the demand for soul rings will be greatly reduced."

Hearing this, Di Tian and Biji looked at each other, and they both agreed that the two methods Ying Qian had mentioned were almost the only ones that could resolve the conflict between humans and soul beasts.

“What you said makes sense, but how are you going to enter the human world? Although you are now able to transform into a human form through practice, the Titled Douluo among humans can still see through your soul beast nature at a glance.” Di Tian hit the nail on the head.

Biji beside him also said with a worried look on her face: "Yes! Ying Qian, the human world is too dangerous. Although your current strength is comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, people's hearts are treacherous. Children like you who have never had contact with humans are the easiest to be deceived by humans."

Hearing what Biji and Di Tian said, Ying Qian was not as impatient as he had imagined, but felt warm in his heart. In fact, in the past thousand years, the system had already given Ying Qian the reward of shielding the breath of soul beasts, but Ying Qian could not directly tell them about the existence of the system, even though Di Tian was his teacher.

"Teacher, Aunt Brigitte, you don't have to worry. I know there is a treasure land in the Sunset Forest. The magic grass there can help me conceal my own soul beast aura. So I plan to go there first after I leave the Star Dou Great Forest. At least if I can't get the magic grass, I will not easily enter the human world." Ying Qian explained.

Hearing this, Di Tian and Bi Ji looked at each other again. They knew that Ying Qian had made up his mind and no amount of persuasion would change it.

"I understand. Since you have made up your mind, I can't say much. Take this." Di Tian threw a pendant and Ying Qian caught it steadily.

This pendant looks a bit like a leaf, about the size of a baby's palm, dark in color, with ridges on it. These ridges emit a faint purple scent.

There is also a black line on the pendant. It doesn't look very thick, but it is very tough.

Ying Qian, who was also a member of the dragon clan, naturally recognized the origin of the pendant at a glance. This was the teacher's reverse scale. The dragon's reverse scale would anger anyone who touched it. This reverse scale was dropped after the teacher underwent a heavenly punishment every 100,000 years and underwent a transformation. It contained his most essential power. Although in the original work, this trace of heavenly punishment would hinder Huo Yuhao's connection with the God Realm, but Ying Qian was originally a soul beast. Even without this reverse scale, Ying Qian would not be able to become a god so easily.

Therefore, the only function of this reverse scale for Ying Qian is protection. As long as this reverse scale is there, no matter where he is in Douluo Continent, Di Tian can sense his location at the first time, and he feels full of security.

"Thank you, teacher." Ying Qian didn't want to say more words of gratitude. All he could do now was to implement his plan as soon as possible.

"Wait a moment."

Just when Ying Qian spread his dragon wings, the voice of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion called him again.

"What's wrong?" Ying Qian didn't dare to look back at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, because the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes looked a little aggrieved at this moment, and looked very pitiful.

"Are you leaving?"

"Ah."

"Then when will you come back?"

"Almost, very soon." Ying Qian replied. This time when leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Ying Qian had only two goals. One was to go to the Sunset Forest to find the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and the other was to go to the Far North to find the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

"How long is 'soon'?" The three-eyed golden lion asked relentlessly, as if he would not let Ying Qian leave unless he told him a specific time.

Ying Qian had no choice but to look at Bi Ji for help. Bi Ji glanced at Ying Qian helplessly, and finally squatted down and gently stroked the three-eyed golden lion and said: "Soon, at most fifty years, Ying Qian will definitely come back."

"Fifty years?" The three-eyed golden lion looked at Ying Qian and gently raised his right front paw.

Helplessly, Ying Qian also lowered his body, placed his right hand gently on the tender flesh pad of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said, "Just fifty years."

After making this promise, Ying Qian stood up again, looked at Aunt Biji and his teacher, and after saying his final goodbye, Ying Qian spread his dragon wings and flew towards the outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest. Biji looked at the direction where Ying Qian left, as if complaining to Di Tian, ​​or muttering to herself, "Are you just going to let him go like this?"

After thousands of years of living together, Ying Qian had already become like a family member in Biji's heart. This sudden departure suddenly made Biji's mind dazed.

“Time is running out for me! If Ying Qian wants to truly grow, he can’t always live under our wings.” Di Tian sighed softly.

This resolute soul beast leader actually had some different emotions in his tone at this moment.

After leaving the Xingdou Great Forest, Ying Qian flew all the way to the direction of the Sunset Forest in his memory. The Sunset Forest was located in the center of the original Tiandu Empire. However, hundreds of years ago, the Tiandou Empire had split into the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire, and the Tianhun Empire inherited most of the cities of the Tiandou Empire, so the Sunset Forest should also be in the direction of the Tianhun Empire.

Originally, it only took about a week to fly from the Star Forest to the Sunset Forest in a straight line, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ying Qian tried to avoid human gathering places. Now that humans have flying soul guides, their awareness of airspace is constantly improving. To save trouble, you can only spend more time. This detour directly cost Ying Qian twice as much time to reach the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.

The vegetation in Sunset Forest is sparser than that in Star Forest. The species are also slightly different. This is mainly due to the geographical location. Star Forest is almost in the middle of the continent and has a pleasant climate. The temperature is kept between 20 and 30 all year round. There is almost no winter, let alone ice and snow.

Compared to the Star Forest, the Sunset Forest is more than a thousand kilometers to the north. If you keep going north, you will reach the Far North. Therefore, the temperature is much lower. In this case, the vegetation is naturally dominated by coniferous forests that are more suitable for medium and low temperatures. Of course, there are also some subtropical plants.

The Sunset Forest was extremely barren. Not to mention the hundred thousand year soul beasts. Even some decent ten thousand year soul beasts were few and far between, so Ying Qian had flown almost all the way here at an extremely fast speed, and didn't have to worry about any soul beasts attacking him.

Until, there was a touch of rich green in front. Looking from above, these emerald green mists almost covered the entire center of the Sunset Forest. Although the height at which these poisonous mists could linger was not high, there were almost no gaps. Even if Ying Qian could fly in from a high altitude, he would probably have to pass directly through this group of poisonous mists.

Although the dragons have invulnerable scales, they are still wary of soft attacks like poison that penetrate everywhere. There was no other way, so Ying Qian could only fall from a high altitude.

With a sound of "crack", a huge skeleton was crushed into pieces by Ying Qian.

"The poison of the Green Phosphorus Seven Wonders Flower is so terrible that it can penetrate into the bone marrow." Ying Qian sighed.

In the original novel, the Green Phosphorus Seven Wonders Flower is afraid of cold but not fire, so Ying Qian dared to come here to get the magic herb, and he was not without any preparation.

But first we need to find the place where the Seven Absolutes of the Green Phosphorus Flower lives, which is the last barrier of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. As Ying Qian explored further, more and more soul beast corpses appeared in front of him, and he could even see some traces of human supplies. It seems that there are many unlucky people who can never go back after mistakenly entering here.

Fortunately, the core area of ​​Sunset Forest is not very large, and a distance of several kilometers is just a moment for Ying Qian. At this moment, what appeared in front of Ying Qian were patches of strangely shaped plants. These emerald green plants extended to both sides. They were not tall, only about half a meter in height. Each emerald green plant had nine strangely shaped leaves, which looked a bit like human hands, but with seven fingers.

Some were larger, even nine fingers long. At their tops, large emerald green flowers blossomed. The emerald green mists were emitted from the stamens of these large flowers. They slowly spread outwards and then merged into the colorful poisonous miasma.

Ying Qian held his breath, fearing that the terrible green poisonous fog would be inhaled into his lungs. Then he silently said in his heart: "System, it's up to you."

[Ding, testing is starting, testing organisms, Green Phosphorus Seven Wonders Flower, Green Phosphorus Nine Wonders Flower, age: 1,000 to 10,000 years, quantity: tens of thousands. Do you want to devour? ]

"Yes." Ying Qian did not hesitate and immediately revealed his original form. He opened his bloody mouth and exhaled sharply to disperse the poisonous fog. Then he inhaled sharply again, and the emerald green stamens quickly became fragmented.

This was not the first time that Ying Qian had known about the tyranny of the system. The Devouring System devoured everything, whether you were a plant-type soul beast or an animal-type soul beast, Ying Qian could devour them all, and as long as a certain number of souls were devoured, even if Ying Qian did not have an attribute, the system would grant it to him.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for swallowing the Seven Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers, the number is 673, and the Nine Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers, the number is 178, unlocking the attribute, Green Phosphorus Royal Poison. ]

Ying Qian did not absorb all of these Seven Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers. After all, he only needed to open the entrance to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. And the attribute of Green Phosphorus Royal Poison was not so attractive to Ying Qian. Dragons always rely on strength to crush each other in battles, and poisoning is a bit useless. But it's better than nothing!

Without the protection of the poisonous mist of the Green Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers, a knife-like valley appeared in front of Ying Qian. Ying Qian transformed into a human form again and went deeper into the valley along the edge.

The valley above was just a cover, and the basin below was where the real Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was located. Ying Qian spread his dragon wings and leaped down. He descended about 300 meters. The bare mountain walls around him began to show signs of plants. As Ying Qian continued to go deeper, this legendary treasure bowl finally revealed its true appearance in front of him.
The entire valley was completely covered by colorful poisonous clouds in the sky, so that the valley was as dazzling as if it was illuminated by a rainbow.

The area of ​​the valley is not too large, but it is home to a variety of plants. Looking around, there are countless colors. Various beautiful flowers compete with each other in beauty, and various vegetation bears fruits. Many plants even emit different levels of precious light. Just by looking at them with your eyes, you can see that they are extraordinary.

The most shocking thing is that there is a lake in the protection of these plants. This lake is clearly divided into two parts. One side is ice white with a faint white mist, and the other side is fiery red with slightly distorted light. Red and white are like two huge jade stones embedded there. The rich breath of life in the air is filled with the entire space of the valley under their evaporation.

“The breath of life here is so rich that it is probably not inferior to the Lake of Life in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest!” Feeling the breath of life in front of him, Ying Qian couldn't help but sigh.
