Chapter 194: It's the Ultimate, Why Are You Afraid of Poison?
"Three seniors, the people from Shrek Academy are here."
The words of the Tianhun Empire soldier interrupted Wang Nan's thoughts. Looking down, he saw that some temporary tents had been set up here. Many soul masters were sitting here, meditating, or using charging soul guides to restore their soul power.
The spread of the poison barrier did not cover most of the Sunset Forest in an instant, but gradually spread from the center. Soul beasts generally would not give up the place where they originally lived well, so at first they only migrated outwards, causing the soul beasts living on the periphery to leave the forest.
Later, as the range of the poison barrier expanded, soul beasts with higher cultivation levels were able to escape.
The Tianhun Empire reacted quickly and sent soul masters and troops as soon as they first discovered that the soul beasts were leaving the Sunset Forest. This allowed them to stop the soul beasts with higher cultivation levels and prevent them from causing greater damage.
Following the soldier's instructions, Wang Nan soon saw a familiar face, Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. At this time, she was not meditating, but just frowned and looked towards the direction of the Sunset Forest.
"Dean Xian."
"The Elite Competition is over." Xian Lin'er saw the three people land and glanced at them, "Why are only you here? Where are the other elders in the academy?"
"They... still have some things to deal with." Zhang Lexuan looked around and saw that there were many people around, so she didn't say too much.
Xian Lin'er saw Zhang Lexuan's expression and didn't ask any more questions.
“Seniors, I will take my leave now.” Seeing that Wang Nan and the other two knew Xian Lin’er, the Tianhun Empire soldier finally felt relieved and took his leave.
"Thanks a lot."
"It should."
Watching the soldier leave, Zhang Lexuan retracted his gaze and looked at the boundless sea of beasts in front of him, "Dean Xian, what's the situation here?"
"If it's just the soul beasts rioting, we have completely suppressed it, and basically they will not leave here. But there are so many soul beasts, if the source problem can't be solved, we can't kill them all here."
Xian Lin'er's words also reflected the most difficult situation here. After all, the Sunset Forest was not as good as the Star Forest. Without a hundred thousand year old spirit beast, it would definitely not be a match for human spirit masters.
However, human soul masters need to obtain soul rings to break through the realm, and the soul beasts living here are also a resource. Neither the Tianhun Empire nor other soul masters want to see this soul beast settlement disappear.
"Did anyone send anyone to the forest to take a look?"
"The Body Sect has already sent people in to investigate, but the miasma in the forest is so thick that we haven't been able to get too deep after going in several times. We can only guess that there must be other soul masters or soul beasts controlling this poison barrier, but we don't know any more details."
"Dean Xian, I want to get closer and take a look." Wang Nan, who was listening to the conversation between Zhang Lexuan and Xian Lin'er, suddenly spoke.
"Do you have a solution?" Xian Lin'er looked at Wang Nan.
"There's no clue yet, just some guesses."
"Okay." Xian Lin'er thought for a moment and nodded, "I can take you to the Sunset Forest, but my martial spirit doesn't have a very good way to deal with the poison barrier, so I can't go too deep."
"That's not what I meant, Dean."
"Ah?" Xian Linglin'er looked at Wang Nan in surprise.
"Don't bother Dean Xian. I just need two high-level soul shields and a map of Sunset Forest. Xiaotao and I can go there together." Xian Lin'er's eyes swept from Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao to Zhang Lexuan. After seeing Zhang Lexuan nod, she spoke, "Okay, I have a level 7 soul shield here. I'll contact the Heavenly Soul Empire for the map."
Xian Lin'er acted decisively and appeared in front of Wang Nan again in a moment. While handing him the prepared things, she also reminded him a little worriedly, "If you find that you can't go deeper, don't force it. Come back as soon as possible and we will find another way."
"Okay, Dean Xian."
After saying that, Wang Nan turned around and looked at Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao was confused, but she followed anyway.
After the two of them left, Xian Lin'er looked at Wang Nan's back and spoke slowly, "Wang Nan is always a very smart kid. I hope this matter can be resolved smoothly."
Zhang Lexuan looked at Xian Lin'er in surprise.
Xian Lin'er retracted her gaze and looked at Zhang Lexuan, "You probably don't know yet, but the Soul Guidance Department of our academy has become what it is now. Although it was Qian Duoduo and I who made it happen, it was Wang Nan who made us decide to bring it up at the Sea God Pavilion meeting."
"Mr. Mu is right. Young people's vision is always ahead of us old guys. By the way, you just said that the old masters in the academy have other things to do. How come there is no news from you for so long in the elite competition?"
……
"Do you know what caused this soul beast riot?"
On the other side, Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao had already risen into the air. Although there were also flying soul beasts trying to attack them, a large number of them were scared away just by Wang Nan's slight presence.
"Why do you ask?"
"Although you just said you were going to give it a try, I always feel like you knew what we would encounter in advance."
"Well... I roughly know what caused the poison barrier here, but I really need to try it to see if it will work. However, you are the one who will try it."
What Wang Nan said was true. In his impression, it was not a problem for the Ultimate Ice to pass through this poison barrier, but the current poison barrier was far beyond the original scale. With Huo Yuhao's cultivation, even the Ultimate Martial Spirit would find it very difficult to pass through it.
As for whether the extreme fire can pass, it is just a guess, and the specific situation can only be known after testing.
With their speed, they had entered the Sunset Forest in just two sentences.
The soul masters who were blocking the soul beasts outside occasionally looked up, only to see two streaks of light flashing in the air, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The outermost area of the Sunset Forest has not yet been covered by the poison barrier, but a large number of soul beasts have gathered here, some of which have cultivation levels close to 100,000 years.
Although it could not speak like the hundred thousand year soul beast, it was already quite intelligent. It knew that it would be stopped if it ran out, and there was a deadly poison barrier behind it, so it could only stay here.
Sensing the approach of Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao, several soul beasts that looked like tigers and bears kept roaring, protesting to Wang Nan and Ma Xiaotao.
However, the next moment, a golden light flashed, and a loud dragon roar resounded through the forest. Some soul beasts were immediately frightened and crawled on the ground. The few soul beasts that had just roared softly were somewhat unwilling, but in the end they still did not dare to make their voices louder.
