The Remaining Five Fire Element Sources of the Flame Demon, not only had strong signals, but were also relatively close to the Star Dou Great Forest Center.
This meant that the difficulty and danger of the hunt would increase exponentially.
Therefore, Quan Yi originally wanted to find a suitable Soul Beast before this, but the Soul Beasts that met Quan Yi's requirements were too rare.
Huo Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Are you trying to find a special Soul Beast like the Fire Spirit Ghost King?"
"That's right. You should have a deep understanding of how well the Fire Spirit Ghost King matches the Fire Shadow Martial Soul over the past two years."
Huo Wu nodded earnestly.
Her Fourth Soul Ring not only enhanced her mental strength but also comprehensively amplified her physical qualities.
This was also one of the reasons why Huo Wu was able to cross two tiers and attempt to absorb a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"But, Xiao Yi, Soul Beasts like the Fire Spirit Ghost King are special undead-type Soul Beasts, and their birth conditions are extremely harsh. Moreover, most of them have dark, mental attributes.
Individuals with Fire-attributes are even rarer. You'd be lucky to encounter one.
So, it doesn't matter if you don't find one."
Although Huo Wu was a little disappointed, she still comforted Quan Yi.
Over the years, Huo Wu had also studied her Martial Soul and Soul Beasts in depth. Among them, she had specifically learned about the Fire Spirit Ghost King and similar special Soul Beasts.
As a result, she discovered the undead, a special type of Soul Beast.
These types of Soul Beasts are born in dark places, absorbing the power of darkness and souls to strengthen themselves.
Therefore, death often accompanies the undead wherever they go.
Fortunately, such evil Soul Beasts are usually solitary, and if they are discovered by other Soul Beasts, they will be attacked by the group.
So, even if they appear, very few can grow to the Ten Thousand Year level.
This made Huo Wu understand the importance of the Fire Spirit Ghost King even more.
Therefore, Huo Wu didn't have high expectations for this hunt.
However, Quan Yi's powerful search ability directly locked onto all the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that met the conditions.
This made Huo Wu's hopes rise, but after searching hundreds of Soul Beasts, she still couldn't find one.
This made Huo Wu gradually put away her expectations.
Quan Yi held Huo Wu's hand tightly and said firmly, "Don't worry about me. Even if there aren't any here, we can still go to the Sunset Forest.
Each Soul Ring is very important to a Soul Master. We don't need to be so anxious."
"Okay, I understand. Then I'll leave it to Xiao Yi."
Hope rekindled in Huo Wu's heart.
Quan Yi steered the Scarlet Dragon and flew towards the depths of the forest.
Soon, he arrived above the first location.
It was a Forty Thousand Year Flame Lion King, a powerful Soul Beast with top-tier Fire-attribute talent.
Although its age was only Forty Thousand Years, its extremely high talent gave it Fire Element fluctuations no less than those of a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Beast.
If combined with its powerful body, its combat power would not be inferior to that of a Sixty or Seventy Thousand Year Soul Beast.
However, Quan Yi's target was not it.
"Next."
Quan Yi noted the Flame Lion King's location in his mind and then flew to the next point.
The second was a Blazing Flame Eagle that had just exceeded Fifty Thousand Years.
This Soul Beast had extremely fast flight speed and flew at an altitude of over five thousand meters.
Quan Yi spent some effort to catch up with it.
However, since it was flying in the unobstructed sky, Quan Yi didn't need to get close. He took a look from afar, outside the Blazing Flame Eagle's line of sight, and gave up on it.
The adaptability of this Soul Beast was not even as good as that of the Flame Lion King.
The third one was an Earth Fire Dragon Lizard with forty thousand years of cultivation.
Quan Yi decisively gave up.
"Xiao Wu, now, there are only the last two spots left. However, they are somewhat special. Not only are they very close to each other, but both are hidden deep underground.
Moreover, in my elemental perception, I can also sense numerous Fire Element fluctuations at the thousand-year level.
In this place, we can't continue to scout from the sky. We can only land and go deep underground to be sure."
With his vision blocked by the ground, Quan Yi couldn't determine their true forms based on Fire Element perception alone.
"Okay, these two should be Fire-attribute Soul Beasts living underground, and they sound like a pack-dwelling tribe."
As Huo Wu spoke, her expression inevitably turned somber, simply because the word 'pack-dwelling' didn't meet her requirements.
However, Huo Wu didn't notice the smile on Quan Yi's lips.
The Scarlet Dragon flew towards the Forest Center, arriving at a lush, low-lying area.
Above the depression, there was even a sizable lake.
Quan Yi looked down and spotted a few scattered black canine Soul Beasts around the lake.
Magma Dogs, and all of them were thousand-year-level Soul Beasts.
This type of Soul Beast is a decent canine Soul Beast, with Fire as its innate ability.
They are pack animals by nature, with excellent attack power and speed, and they are fearless. They can emit high-temperature flames from their bodies, and high-year Magma Dogs can even spit fireballs.
They are a very troublesome type of Soul Beast.
Quan Yi didn't act rashly. He scouted for a while, and finally, he discovered that after the Magma Dogs replenished their water, they would head towards a nearby cave entrance.
This cave entrance was concealed by vertical vines, and if it weren't for the Magma Dogs' movements, he wouldn't have easily discovered this hidden entrance from the air.
After all the Magma Dogs retreated, Quan Yi could preliminarily confirm that there was likely a Magma Dog Tribe below.
"Xiao Wu, it's up to you next."
"Okay!"
The Scarlet Dragon, suspended high in the air, began to free-fall, its open wings instantly retracting, transforming into a red sword, diving downwards.
Huo Wu and Quan Yi grabbed the Dragon Horns to resist the weightlessness of the fall.
Moreover, the illusory Fire Shadow Martial Soul appeared behind Huo Wu.
Subsequently, four Soul Rings appeared behind Huo Wu, with the deepest black Soul Ring lighting up.
The orange-red Fire Shadow was instantly dyed a vibrant pink flame, and a pink Peach Blossom mark flashed on Huo Wu's fair forehead.
Fourth Soul Skill, Peach Shadow Ghost King Transformation.
In an instant, countless Peach Blossom petals emanated from Huo Wu's body. In just a moment, the sky was filled with petals like fireworks, erupting around the Scarlet Dragon.
The Scarlet Dragon's figure was instantly hidden by the petals.
When the petals dissipated, the Scarlet Dragon had actually disappeared from sight.
Not only from sight, but the terrifying pressure and Soul Power fluctuations emitted by the Scarlet Dragon were also concealed.
It was as if it had truly vanished from the world.
However, this wasn't true concealment, but rather, the simulation ability of the Soul Skill.
The real Scarlet Dragon had already landed by the lake.
Quan Yi dismissed the massive Scarlet Dragon and walked into the cave with Huo Wu hand in hand.
The cave entrance was incredibly deep, and the passage extended diagonally downwards. Due to the angle, Quan Yi's Super Vision couldn't see the bottom.
However, with Quan Yi's dual senses of elemental vision and Eye of True Sight, Quan Yi could see through the thick Rock, seeing hundreds of canine creatures and a special individual spreading out beneath his feet.
Quan Yi, who could see through the internal energy trajectories of objects, could confirm that this was definitely not the trajectory that a normal Soul Beast should have.
Quan Yi and Huo Wu, hidden by the Peach Illusion Fire, quickly delved deep underground.
After passing through a long, twisting passage and walking past dozens of patrolling Magma Dogs, they arrived at a spacious underground space.
The first thing that entered their eyes was a ten-meter-tall humanoid figure, sitting cross-legged on a giant throne in the center of the underground.
Although it was humanoid, this thing was engulfed in raging fire, and through the flames, one could vaguely see thick, black bones.
