The next morning, Gu Xiao woke up very early, the skies had not yet cleared, when he got up he stretched, after that he left his tent, where he lit a fire to prepare his breakfast.
Murong Qianxue woke up soon after, her protective instincts are very sharp, after all her life is linked to Gu Xiao's life, but she preferred not to show herself, entering the void and keeping silent.
Contrary to what everyone expected, Zi Ji was the most relaxed, waking up sometime later, as an Abyss Demon Dragon over 280,000 years old, she naturally doesn't care when she's in the Great Star Dou Forest, which in addition to the Ferocious Beasts of Core Area Core Could it threaten her after all?
When he got up, Zi Ji couldn't help but smell the faint fragrance of roast beef... It was news to her, considering she was a Soul Beast, they devour her raw food.
(Yes, breakfast has barbecue, this is quite common in the Xianxia universe.)
"Little brother, what is this? It smells so good."
Zi Ji couldn't help but ask, her curiosity was great, as was her appetite for some reason.
"Hm, you've decided to wake up... It's called barbecue, this will be our breakfast." Gu Xiao replied.
"What do you mean I decided to wake up? Know that all this forest can be considered my home, humph, it's you humans who need to be careful sleeping here." Zi Ji suddenly snorted.
'What is this woman thinking? What a sudden change of mood...' Gu Xiao secretly thought.
"I didn't understand anything, but whatever, Qianxue come eat." Gu Xiao said next.
Suddenly the space broke and Murong Qianxue came out of it, even though Zi Ji had seen it happen before, it was still something that amazed her, apart from the Silver Dragon King, she had never seen anyone else use the power of space. .
Soon the three ate, again Murong Qianxue smeared her delicate face with grease, and Gu Xiao gave her another handkerchief for her to clean herself, this move was seen by Zi Ji who couldn't help but enjoy the scene, Zi's nature Ji is playful and provocative.
"Little brother, we can go now, right?"
Zi Ji suddenly asked, even though she was very curious about Gu Xiao, she needs to fulfill her mission.
"You're in a big hurry, aren't you? But never mind, seeing the Silver Dragon King would happen sooner or later, come on, you'll lead the way."
Gu Xiao next said, this matter had better be resolved quickly.
"Just let me take you, it will be faster considering I'm faster than you, your girl can follow us since she's more powerful than I am."
Zi Ji replied before transforming into his dragon form.
"Who's his girl? Don't say what you shouldn't, if you don't want a fight!"
Hearing what Zi Ji said, Murong Qianxue couldn't help but swear, Zi Ji just ignored her as she smiled.
Zi Ji had a cultivation base of 284,000 years old, his actual size easily surpassed 100 meters, when transforming a huge purple dragon appeared above the sky.
"Get on my back."
Zi Ji said suddenly, Gu Xiao was still amazed at the sight, he didn't move until he heard her say, this also made Zi Ji have a good impression of him, he seems to know his place, if Gu Xiao only dared to climb on his back without her consent, she would regard him as any human scum.
Despite his mischievous nature, Zi Ji still has an immense prejudice against humanity, after all his master is in a deplorable situation because of humans, in addition to personally witnessing several massacres between humans and Soul Beasts.
Gu Xiao then climbed onto Zi Ji's back, after which he sat in the lotus position and relaxed, Zi Ji then flew at high speed towards the StarDou Great Forest Central Area Core, Murong Qianxue followed beside her.
"It's too fast..." Gu Xiao muttered, without using his soul power he could have easily fallen off Zi Ji's back, her speed was extreme fast, Zi Ji really was in a hurry, using all his power focused on his faster speed.
'This woman... She can keep up with my top speed, and she doesn't seem to be using half of her full capacity... The gap is so big, according to what the Lord said, a Demi-God is comparable to a Ferocious Beast 1,000,000 years old, really extraordinary!'
Zi Ji secretly thought while paying attention to Murong Qianxue, she was stunned by the difference between her levels.
Despite the distance between the Mixed Area and the Core Area being tens of thousands of miles, the trip didn't take more than a few hours, even at its extreme speed Zi Ji still needed a few hours, as already said, Star Dou Great Forest occupies 40% of the entire Douluo Continent, and that's an extremely gigantic area, plus tens of thousands of miles is no small feat.
Meanwhile elsewhere...
The Central Area, despite being where the most powerful beasts are supposed to gather, is actually a very quiet place, but this is due to the fact that it is looked after by two super beasts that are over 100,000 years old.
"Brother, do you feel it? What a powerful presence!"
Er Ming suddenly exclaimed in shock, this is the first time he has felt such a presence, Er Ming is a Giant Gorilla Titan, for 95% of all Soul Masters, he is the king of StarDou Great Forest, with a base of cultivation of 101,765 years.
"Yes, one of the seniors left for some reason, according to Aunt Rou, she met them once, but that was when neither of us were born."
Da Ming replied, listening to him Er Ming became thoughtful, Da Ming is a little older than Er Ming, he is a Bull Snake with a 113,926 year old cultivation base both were created by Ah Rou, a 130,000 Habbit Softbone years he lived until recently, she told him some stories about these Ferocious Beasts.
Their senses are also extremely sharp, they sensed Zi Ji's presence long before she arrived at the Core, for most Soul Masters, Er Ming is the King of the Forest, for a small minority, the title of King belongs to Da Ming. , little do they know that they are both just two gatekeepers, they guard the Lake of Life, so that no one enters it, even if they don't know why, all that Da Ming knows is that at the bottom of the Lake there are beasts that make him look like a simple child!
"See brother, is that a Dragon? It's the first time in my 100,000 years that I've seen a Dragon... It's unimaginable." Er Ming said in full excitement at the sight of Zi Ji.
"It's also my first time seeing one of the seniors, I've been the guardian of this lake for tens of thousands of years, but it's the first time I've seen anyone come out of it, plus there seems to be a human child on his back, and the woman next to him. her side is undoubtedly a Soul Beast, but I've never seen her before."
Da Ming replied, but unlike Er Ming who was excited, Da Ming was curious, after all one of the beings that belonged to the stories he heard as a child is right in front of him.
Zi Ji ignored them and just walked into the lake with Gu Xiao and Murong Qianxue, Gu Xiao also noticed the two other Soul Beasts, but didn't really care, he doesn't have time for anything other than seeing the Silver Dragon King now after all.
