Three days passed quietly, and the carriage slowly entered a small town on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ning Bei and the others opened the carriage curtain, releasing a wave of domineering aura to deter the petty thieves. They handed the carriage over to the hotel owner for safekeeping and entered the hotel, planning to rest for a while before entering the Star Dou Great Forest together.
The fierce individuals who had been coveting Ning Bei's money scattered like frightened birds and beasts. Although these people looked rich and noble, judging from the aura Ning Bei had slightly revealed, he was at least a Soul Douluo-level expert. They didn't think their lives were too long.
"So scary, that person looks only in his twenties, but he has such a high cultivation."
"Maybe he's some old monster who's good at preserving his youth? Let's stay away from them. If some ignorant person bumps into them, I'm afraid I'll get splashed with blood."
"You're right, let's find other targets, this one is too tough."
Ignoring the discussions of these people, the three of them ate their fill, adjusted their breathing for a moment, and then embarked on the road to the forest.
With Ning Bei present, Little Angel and A'Dai weren't nervous at all, their steps forward as leisurely as an after-dinner stroll.
Ning Bei didn't tell them to be careful either. Little Angel and A'Dai weren't fools; they wouldn't be so relaxed if they were heading to a dangerous place alone.
After venturing about dozens of kilometers into the forest, the sunlight became noticeably sparse, leaving only Blue Silver Grass dotting this Life Forbidden Zone.
"That's about right, let's do it here!"
The two had no objections and turned their gazes to Ning Bei, clearly wanting to see him perform.
A golden light flashed, and the Pill Tower appeared in his hand. Rings of rich medicinal fragrance spread out, and before long, the Soul Beasts nearby were already roaring and revealing their figures.
No matter how much the two trusted Ning Bei, they became vigilant at this sight, and the Dark Gold Magic Scythe and Six-Winged Angel Spirit quietly appeared.
Ning Bei wasn't idle either. While continuously releasing the medicinal fragrance, he released Da Ming, Er Ming, and A Bao.
"Star Dou Great Forest?"
Da Ming, who had suddenly appeared, was momentarily dazed, but quickly reacted. He glanced at the Pill Tower in Ning Bei's hand and the two people beside him, and instantly understood his intention.
"Do you need us to drive away the other Soul Beasts?"
"That's right, A'Dai needs to pick a suitable Spirit Ring later, the rest is up to you."
"Don't worry, Brother Ning Bei, no little whelp dares to act presumptuously in front of me."
Er Ming cheerfully patted his sturdy chest, accepting the task. Civil servant Er Ming was going to work.
Little Angel and A'Dai had also seen Da Ming and the others many times, so they didn't find it strange. They began to select a suitable Soul Beast for A'Dai from the swarming Beast Tide.
Before long, in a corner of the Beast Tide, a 70,000-year-old God of Death Black-Patterned Sable caught Little Angel's attention. She, who had memorized the Soul Beast encyclopedia, immediately pointed out the characteristics of the Soul Beast.
"That God of Death Black-Patterned Sable is 70,000 years old. Every 10,000 years, an additional black stripe will appear on its back, and its size will also increase appropriately."
"This kind of Soul Beast specializes in absorbing death energy to cultivate, and its attributes are also compatible with A'Dai's Dark Gold Magic Scythe. It will likely provide a state-type Soul Skill."
After listening to Little Angel's explanation, Ning Bei and A'Dai nodded secretly. This kind of Soul Beast was always independent and extremely difficult to encounter. Only under the temptation of the medicinal fragrance would it come to join in the fun, but unexpectedly, it was going to lose its life today.
Putting away the Pill Tower, Ning Bei looked at Da Ming and the others beside him.
"You guys drive away the other Soul Beasts, I'll take care of the God of Death Black-Patterned Sable."
"Okay."
Da Ming and the others didn't say much. Upon receiving Ning Bei's instructions, they immediately revealed their true forms and roared wildly at the surrounding Beast Tide.
"Moo~~~~"
"Roar!"
The Beast Tide, originally restless after losing the Pill Tower as its goal, instantly felt its legs weaken upon seeing these three overlords. They scattered in all directions, desperately trying to escape.
The God of Death Black-Patterned Sable hiding in the corner was no exception. With the Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, and Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear present, it didn't hesitate to abandon the treasure that could have brought it great benefits. After all, a treasure is only good if you're alive to enjoy it.
However, what the God of Death Black-Patterned Sable didn't know was that from the moment it showed its face, its fate was sealed.
As it turned to flee, having barely covered a few hundred meters, a figure suddenly appeared directly above it.
"Ice Shield: Chilling to the Bone Technique."
Ning Bei raised his hand towards the God of Death Sable, and terrifying cold instantly condensed the moisture in the air into ice, trapping the sable's entire body inside, leaving only its head exposed as it let out a miserable screech.
He picked up the ice block, turned, and threw it on the ground, then dusted off his hands.
"Done, finished!"
His relaxed and carefree demeanor made the Little Angel and A'Dai's teeth ache. A 70,000-year Soul Beast, a being that could be considered an overlord in some areas, was easily handled by Ning Bei as if it were a lamb to the slaughter.
At this time, Da Ming and the others had also mostly completed the task of driving away the beasts. However, in a large forest, there are all kinds of Soul Beasts. Some less intelligent ones thought they could defeat the three giant beasts before them and enjoy the treasure alone. The result was that they were tossed into the sky by the three beasts and turned into stars. If they could speak, Ning Bei guessed they would probably say:
"I'll be back!"
With all the trouble resolved, A'Dai didn't hesitate to use his magic scythe to reap the life of the God of Death Black-Patterned Sable. A pitch-black Spirit Ring slowly rose from the corpse.
Although this Soul Beast didn't exceed his absorption limit, A'Dai still took a Meridian Protecting Pill and a Soul Nourishing Pill just in case, prioritizing caution above all else.
"Second Young Master, the rest is up to you."
Ning Bei waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about, and watched as the other party began to sit cross-legged to absorb the Spirit Ring.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, I'll leave this place to you to watch over for now."
"Alright, go ahead and take care of your business. We'll handle things here."
Da Ming didn't ask any further questions, assuming that Ning Bei still needed to obtain a Spirit Ring for the woman beside him.
The Little Angel also turned to look at her man with a puzzled expression, not understanding what else needed to be done.
"Aren't we staying here to watch?"
"Well, there are still some things to take care of."
"What things?"
As the Little Angel tried hard to recall, Ning Bei took her little hand and flashed away from the place, teleporting to the Ice God Hall after getting far away.
"This is what you needed to take care of?"
The Little Angel's teeth itched with anger as she understood. I helped you Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples hunt for Soul Rings, and you dragged me to the Ice God Hall to sing?
Those honest people like Da Ming are truly unlucky to have a master like you.
"You tell me, isn't this taking care of important business?"
"It's your head! Let me out of here!"
"That's definitely impossible, you can't get out even if you scream your lungs out."
"Get out of my way."
After a bit of coy resistance, feigned shyness, half-hearted pushing, and insincere refusal, beautiful and melodious singing echoed within the Ice God Hall.
...
Inside the Star Dou Great Forest, Er Ming scratched his head in confusion.
"Big Brother, Ning Bei and his brother still need to hunt Soul Beasts, why did you make us drive all the Soul Beasts away just now? Wouldn't it have been fine to just pick one from inside?"
"Is that something you should be concerned about? Don't you want to live in the Pill Tower anymore?"
