DOULUO: FIST OF CHAOS

CHAPTER 7 SOUL BEAST FOREST

Two months later

Outside the Soul Beast forest

The outside of the forest felt more like a market, than a soul-hunting forest at the forest.

There are many shops around selling different products of the forest.

Shops and people were present on both sides of the road.

Some people were shouting about the product they had got from the forest.
Some people were shouting about the treasure they had got, and they were willing to sell it.

I was somewhere, recruiting members to hunt spirit beasts.

In the middle of the road, Huang Yong was walking at a steady pace.
Huang Yong had tried to check the prices outside the forest, and they were twice or thrice more than what the price was in the city market.

It has been two months since Huang Yong left Notting City and has finally arrived at his destination.

Now he was already comfortable in fighting with all the gears he was wearing inside his clothes.

Putting on a small mask to hide his identity and comes to the gates of the Spirit hunting forest and is stopped by the patrolling guards.
"Stop there little man, where is your party and where is your warrant?"

Huang Yong hurriedly showed them his warrant and said in a deep voice
"My party has already entered the forest and I was stopped due to some important work. I will regroup with them after entering the forest now. May I enter?"

The guards looked at the warrant then at Huang Yong, a few times and then returned him his warrant.
" be careful in the forest. Don't cause unnecessary trouble or a beast tide."
The guard warned and mocked him a little and let him enter.

After entering the forest Huang Yong finally felt like he had come to a forest, not a market.
The fresh air from the forest blew past him with a strong fragrance of greenery.
The majestic forest in his view was enough to scare away a weak man. I don't remember which fool said that the soul beast hunting forest under the control of the empire was not that big.

Huang Yong started walking on the tracks made on the grass due to being regularly walked by humans and walking toward the depths of the forest.

From time to time he would see small spirit beasts hopping here and there, they were either below ten years of cultivation or harmless.
Huang Yong started looking for good herbs here as his system had the feature of identification and Soul Beast Forest has the highest possibility to get high-grade herbs.

After more than 3 hours of roaming and trying to get an herb, Huang Yong realized that those spirit beasts also had this natural attraction towards medicinal herbs, and now after 3 hours, he had got no herb useful to him.
"The idea of gathering herbs from the spirit forest is not very effective".

After giving up having the chance to find herbs, he started looking for the track to reach the depth of the forest.

He had studied spirit beast for the last two years and had found the best match for himself.
The spirit beast, he was looking for to make his first spirit ring was a Nether cat.

He had decided to follow the class of ultimate Attack Type Soul Master so all the spirit beast he required have to be related to speed and strength.
Recently, he had got the news that there was a black shadow in the soul-hunting forest, which had hunted down a lot of soul masters.

From all the knowledge he had, he knew that it must be neither cat, even if it was not neither cat, it must be a speed-type soul beast, and that was what he required.

It was already getting dark, and he had to find a place to shelter himself from the cold nights of the forest.

While looking through the forest he suddenly dodged and a shadow fell in front of him.
Huang Yong's face doesn't change much he is just relieved that he could avoid the sneak attack.
He was ready for this kind of sneak attack as soon as he entered the forest, it may come from a soul beast or a human.
After he made himself stable and looked at the enemy which turned out to be a ghost wolf.
Ghost wolves are low-level soul beasts that look more like dogs than wolves and are very proficient in sneak attacks due to their ghost-like character.

The one in front of him was close to 30 years old which could be calculated by counting the strips on their back.

They grow one strip every ten years of cultivation, and they evolve into demon wolves after 100 years.

Huang Yong looked straight into the eyes of the ghost wolf but did not let down his vigilance from the surrounding and he could feel cold eyes staring at him from the dark.
The wolf jumped at him and swung his fist lightly to make it feel that he was an easy target.

As soon as he got in combat with the wolf in front of him another attack came from behind.

Huang Yong punched at the sneaking wolf behind him with full strength and the wolf fell after receiving the punch and became motionless.
Taking advantage of time he kicked hard in the stomach of the wolf in front of him and it also got the same fate as the second wolf.
Both died in a single attack.

The reason Huang Yong did not finish the first wolf was to bring out the second wolf because if he left the second wolf, it would have called the full pack of ghost wolves and it would have been trouble.

After dealing with the wolves he moved far away from the place where he met the wolves.

Huang Yong soon found a big tree that looked perfect to camp and keep a higher view, after spreading some soul beast repellent powder around and climbing the tree he finally let down his guard a little.
He made himself a net by using the lush branches of the tree.

What made him wonder was the spirit beast's repellant power, how was it able to keep the beasts away.

After checking the powder under the identification feature of the system, he took out some water and washed off the hand he had used to sprinkle the powder.
Turns out the Soul Beast repellent powder was nothing but a mixture of insect-repellent herbs and dry dung of ten-thousand-year-old cow-like soul beasts.

Yes, after all, no soul beast in a hunting forest would dare to enter the territory of a 10000-year-old beast.

Shaking his head and after eating some dry food and drinking some water he fell asleep in the net he created using tree branches.

What awaits him are sleepless and tiresome days and nights.
