Chapter 49 Re-entering the Sunset Forest
This time, entering Sunset Forest was much easier than last time. After all, Yang Zhentian was already a Soul Douluo, and Yang Podi's soul power had also increased considerably.
However, no matter what, you still need to be extra careful in the Soul Beast Forest, especially in a large Soul Beast Forest like Sunset Forest.
The two spent seven days exploring the central area of Sunset Forest without finding any suitable spirit beasts. Either their age was unsuitable, or they were too weak; neither of them found any that appealed to them. The most suitable beast was an Ironclad Bear spirit beast over 2000 years old, but Yang Podi felt its age was too young.
As for the Iron Feather Tiger Eagle that Yang Podi had been longing for, he didn't even see a shadow of it, and he didn't even see many ordinary eagles.
That evening, a somewhat impatient Yang Podi couldn't help but speak up: "Dad, finding suitable soul beasts is quite difficult. How about we go to the Star Dou Great Forest? It's said there are many soul beasts there."
"You silly child, there are plenty of spirit beasts in Sunset Forest. We've actually found quite a few good ones these past few days, but you just don't like them. Like that 3000-year-old ghost tiger we just encountered, for many people, it would be a top-tier beast even as a fourth spirit ring, and you're still complaining about it."
"But there really isn't anything too good. I would have used a 3000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."
"Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear? Have you even seen a Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear? Even your dad hasn't seen one, so don't get your imaginations running wild."
"If you don't have the Darkrai Devil Claw Bear, the Titan Ape will do."
Hearing this, Yang Zhentian was speechless for a moment: "Silly child, do you know what level of soul beast the Titan Giant Ape is? Legend has it that a ten-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape can fight against a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, so it can be considered a legendary soul beast."
"As far as I can remember, it seems that only Tang Hao has a spirit ring that is a Titan Giant Ape. I guess the others have never even seen a Titan Giant Ape."
"I remember there's a legendary Titan Ape that's 100,000 years old in the Star Dou Great Forest, isn't there? Why hasn't anyone hunted it down?"
"Son, do you know how strong that Titan Giant Ape is? Even ordinary Title Douluos wouldn't be a match for it. It would probably take a level 96 Title Douluo to defeat it, and even then, it would be a fight to the death. In the Star Dou Great Forest, even a Title Douluo can easily face fatal danger if injured. Moreover, that Titan Giant Ape is backed by an even stronger Azure Bull Python. Who has the strength to hunt it? Who dares to hunt it?"
"Let me put it this way, to hunt down a Titan Ape, you need at least four Title Douluos, and their levels can't be too low. Otherwise, even if you hunt one down, you won't dare to absorb its power. As soon as a Titan Ape dies, it will immediately attract countless soul beasts, since the Titan Ape's corpse is a delicious meal for other soul beasts. The problem is, where can we find so many Title Douluos? Even the three upper sects can't afford to lose Title Douluos."
"Dad, let me ask you another question. You and your two second grandfathers are all level 86, and Grandpa is already level 87. What are your plans for when you get your ninth spirit ring?"
Hearing this, Yang Zhentian also fell silent: "Dad's ninth spirit ring is indeed a troublesome matter. I estimate that we will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a spirit beast that is about 8 years old. If the age is too high, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. We will also ask your maternal grandfather for help. At most, the patriarchs of the four single-attribute families will go together. However, they are already a bit overwhelmed to deal with spirit beasts of this level. In addition, Senior Dugu should also help.
"Dad, it seems like my maternal grandfather will be a Title Douluo soon too."
"That's right, your father-in-law will be here soon too, maybe even a year earlier than your grandfather. He was already two ranks higher than your grandfather, and the things you chose are indeed very suitable for your father-in-law."
"We obtained so many immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well, but none of them could increase the lifespan of a soul beast?"
"You little rascal, what are you thinking? How could you possibly use such a precious immortal herb on a soul beast? Even the most suitable immortal herb would probably only increase a soul beast's lifespan by a few thousand years. The price you pay is too high; it's completely unnecessary."
"Son, don't think too much about these things. Your maternal grandfather and your two paternal grandfathers all have their own plans and are probably considering them."
After hearing this, Yang Podi was silent for a while: "Dad, I recently looked up some ancient books, and it seems that the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow is very good for soul beasts and can greatly increase their lifespan."
Yang Zhentian smiled and couldn't help but pat his son's head: "What are you thinking? The Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow is a peerless treasure. If we really come across it, all the major powers will probably fight over it. You know, whether it's the three upper sects or the Spirit Hall, they all have a lot of high-level Soul Saints and Soul Douluos. If they had the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow, they could directly break through to Soul Douluo and Title Douluo."
"In my memory, it seems like we haven't seen a 10,000-year-old Cold Marrow on the entire continent for hundreds of years, and even 1,000-year-old ones are rare."
"By the way, son. Your intuition has always been good. Did you have a gut feeling this time that there might be a suitable spirit beast for you?"
"I think the Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest is quite suitable for me, it's just a little too old."
Upon hearing this, the two of them burst into laughter.
The two rested quietly for one night, and continued their search the next day.
The next day, the two did not go too far to search. Instead, they came directly to a stream and hid in the bushes nearby, waiting to see if any suitable spirit beasts would come to drink.
Throughout the day, quite a few spirit beasts came to drink water, some of them quite impressive. In particular, they spotted a very old, powerful gorilla, estimated to be around 4000 years old. Unfortunately, they weren't too impressed and wanted to find an even stronger spirit beast.
That evening, Yang Zhentian seemed to sense that his son was getting a little impatient: "Son, are you being a little too hasty? Remember this, hunting for spirit rings isn't that simple. There are huge restrictions on the age and type of spirit beasts. It's hard to find a perfect one, and even harder to find one that's completely suitable. Another thing is that you need patience. Sometimes, we spirit masters can spend months in the Soul Hunting Forest just to hunt a suitable spirit beast."
"And your requirements are indeed a bit high. Actually, there were several suitable ones for you during the day, especially that Mighty Ape. Both its strength attribute and age are excellent. It would be considered top-quality for many people's fourth spirit ring."
"Dad, I'm not in a hurry, but I feel a little resentful. Why haven't I encountered a single top-tier soul beast?"
Yang Zhentian smiled and said, "Son, how many top-grade soul beasts can you encounter? We've encountered a few top-grade soul beasts these past few days, but their ages are all too different."
Indeed, Yang Podi has encountered two dragon-type soul beasts in the past two days. However, their age was either too low or too high, making them completely unsuitable. Even if they had just entered the 3000-year age range, or even slightly lower, Yang Podi would have chosen them as his third soul ring.
