Chapter 40: Words of Disaster After Wang Nan returned home from the Duke's Mansion, he set out for the Star Dou Great Forest without much lingering. Although the holiday is a whole month long, it is still better to leave as early as possible. "Nan'er, take a rest here for a while. The outer area is ahead, and there will be more and more soul beasts." "I got it, Dad." Although Wang Nan's soul power was not consumed much, he still stopped and prepared to rest. Wang Xing looked at Wang Nan, who was almost as tall as himself, and suddenly laughed, "Forget it, let's go in directly." "You've grown up so fast in the past few years. Dad still thinks of you as a child. Maybe when you come back next year or the year after, you'll have surpassed me." "When the time comes, it will be my turn to help you get the spirit ring." Wang Nan picked up the stick and pushed a tree snake aside. "What are you thinking, brat? My father's innate spirit power is only level four. I am already satisfied with my current cultivation level. How can I have the opportunity to obtain spirit rings again?" "Dad, didn't you use the pills I sent back a few times before?"
"Dad's talent is limited. Even if he used it, it wouldn't have much effect." "Just try it out first to see if it works. I won't be able to use it anyway. If I break through level 60, I can still rely on you to help me with the next spirit ring." "I'm afraid that before that time comes, Dad will have become a burden to you." As Wang Xing and Wang Nan talked, they drove away the approaching low-level soul beasts and soon reached the mixed zone. "The next mixed zone is much more dangerous, so be prepared." After hearing Wang Xing's instructions, Wang Nan reached out to check what he was wearing. He had already put on several defensive soul guides, the healing medicine was placed in the most convenient position, and the invincible shield that Wang Xing had given him was also placed on his chest. Although his current soul power cannot fully unleash the power of the fifth-level soul guide, it can still provide some protection. "I'm ready." Wang Xing nodded and took Wang Nan into the mixed zone. As it turns out, Wang Nan doesn't always have good luck. It takes a long time for other soul masters to obtain soul rings. Not only do they have to encounter soul beasts with suitable attributes and ages, but they also have to consider the soul skills that can be obtained. But he had never worried about these things since his first spirit ring. His father Wang Xing had picked out the first and second spirit rings for him in advance, and the third spirit ring was delivered to him by himself. And now, obtaining the fourth soul ring is finally not so smooth. Wang Xing and his son Wang Nan searched in the mixed area for five days but still failed to find a suitable soul beast. …… Early in the morning, on the south side of the Star Forest, Wang Nan woke up from meditation. "Nan'er, don't be anxious. It's common for a soul master to take ten days or half a month to obtain a soul ring. This is only the sixth day. Look at the people around us, aren't they the same as us?" Wang Nan looked around and saw many people like them packing up their tents and preparing to enter the Xingdou Great Forest again. Not everyone has the strength to spend the night in the forest, and most soul masters would choose to leave the Xingdou Great Forest at night and reenter the next day. "I know, Dad." Wang Nan was not in a hurry. In fact, he had just come home and had no time to rest before coming here. He was mentally prepared to spend a month.
The two had packed up and were about to leave when a clear voice suddenly came from behind them. "You two, please stay." Wang Nan turned around and saw a young girl standing not far behind the two of them. The girl was wearing a light golden dress, with a tasseled belt around her waist and her golden hair lightly tied up. She had a veil on her face so her features could not be seen, but a golden vertical line between her eyebrows was particularly conspicuous. Wang Xing took a look at the girl in front of him, and seeing her appearing alone outside the Star Dou Great Forest, he frowned slightly, and took a step forward calmly to protect Wang Nan behind him. "Excuse me, young lady, what can I do for you?" "I am also here to obtain spirit rings, and I want to travel with you." "This..." Wang Xing thought for a while. The Xingdou Great Forest was full of dangers, so it was normal for soul masters who came here to travel together. And although it was strange that the girl came here alone, she didn't seem to have any bad intentions. She could have appeared behind them silently just now. If she really wanted to harm them, she could have followed them into the Star Dou Great Forest and attacked them directly. Why would she bother to speak? "It's good to travel together so that we can look after each other. But I don't know what kind of spirit ring the girl needs?" "Thank you very much." The girl bowed slightly, then looked at Wang Nan, "I want to obtain the fourth spirit ring, the best one in six thousand years. I wonder what kind of spirit ring you need?" Wang Xing and Wang Nan looked at each other and said, "What a coincidence, we are also here for the fourth spirit ring." Although the girl's veil covered most of her face, one could still see that her eyes narrowed slightly and she smiled. "May I ask your name, young lady? Where do you live? And why did you come to this dangerous Star Forest alone?" On the road, Wang Xing separated Wang Nan and the girl, and asked casually while hurrying on his way. "My home...is near the Star Dou Great Forest. There is a beautiful lake next to it." The girl thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, I am not alone. My elder is nearby. He has been watching me in the dark. If you are in danger, maybe he will help you." Although what the girl said sounded unreal, it was also very reasonable. Because it was common in Shrek Academy for soul masters to obtain soul rings on their own while their elders secretly protected them. But no one would say it as honestly as she did. "As for the name..." The girl was silent for a long time, and even her eyes dimmed, "Call me Yan Huo." Talk about disaster? Wang Nan looked at it in confusion. Who would have such a good name? Names like Qubing and Qiji are all about throwing away bad things, not like hers, which are directly put into the name. It is probably just a pseudonym. Entering the mixed zone again, Wang Nan and the other two changed their direction from the previous few days. It seemed that their luck had turned, and they saw a tall figure not long after they walked. It is about tens of meters tall, with a huge body, covered with thick gray-black scales, each of which has an irregular shape, and a huge head that occupies almost a quarter of the entire body. The soul beast in front of him was the king of sub-dragon species that could rival the giant dragon, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. A Tyrannosaurus Rex with ten thousand years of cultivation might not be stronger than an ordinary hundred thousand year soul beast, and because it had the blood of the Golden Dragon King flowing in its body, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was also known as the King of Earth Dragons. Wang Nan had seen this kind of soul beast before in history books. (End of this chapter)
