Everything became blurry, and Tang Wulin tried to reach out to grab onto the scenes before his eyes, but there was nothing for him to latch onto.
”Argh!” A loud cry rang out as Tang Wulin sat bolt upright, giving Gu Yue a ma.s.sive fright in the process.
”Father! Father!” Gu Yue hurriedly grabbed onto his hand.
Tang Wulin panted heavily as he quickly inspected his surroundings.
They were still in the same forest, but the Demonic Infernal Dragon Monarch had already disappeared.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, he gradually regained his composure, and he was able to immediately deduce that he and Gu Yue were most likely only still alive due to the rainbow light that his bracelet had released.
It seemed that the Demonic Infernal Dragon Monarch had been scared off by that rainbow light.
With that in mind, Tang Wulin hurriedly looked down at his wrist to find that the bracelet was still there, and it seemed to have completely returned to normal.
However, for some reason, Tang Wulin felt as if he had forged a special connection with it. He couldn't quite put his finger on what this connection was, but he was definitely getting a different feeling from it than he had in the past.
”Thank you, thank you for saving me and Gu Yue,” Tang Wulin said in a heartfelt manner. He knew that this was the reciprocation from all of the dragon skeletons in the dragon tomb.
During his 1,000-day dragon burial endeavor, he never had the intention of receiving any type of reward, but the dragon clan had given him such a precious gift. Even now, he still didn't know what this gem represented.
Without the pressure from the Great Beast, the rest of their journey should be quite smooth. Tang Wulin turned to the concerned Gu Yue and squeezed her hand in rea.s.surance. ”I'm fine; don't worry about me. Let's keep going.”
Gu Yue nodded in response. ”I was so scared! A few more people just came, and they left after saying some strange things that I don't understand.”
A few more people? Tang Wulin was the one to be given a huge fright this time. A few more people had appeared here? Were they all Great Beasts?
Those Great Beasts couldn't all be dragons, and his bracelet's intimidation most likely didn't have much of an effect on any beings other than dragons. As such it was nothing short of a miracle that they'd survived that ordeal.
”We have to get out of this forest as quickly as possible; it's too dangerous here.” Tang Wulin allowed Gu Yue to climb onto his back as he spoke, and after ascertaining the correct direction they should be going in, he charged onward full speed ahead.
With the guidance of his Bluesilver Emperor vines, he was able to traverse through the complex terrain of the forest extremely quickly.
Much to his surprise, they didn't encounter any other soul beasts along the way. No soul beasts appeared to attack them during the span of two days, making it seem as if this were an ordinary forest that was completely devoid of soul beasts.
Tang Wulin was rather perplexed. Was this really the core region of the Star Dou Forest? But after taking a glance at the Demonic Greenbird on Gu Yue's shoulder, he could confirm that this wasn't a dream; they really were in the Star Dou Forest.
All of a sudden, a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart, and he gradually slowed down. Through the a.s.sistance of the surrounding plants, he could detect that the conclusion of the forest lay in the distance up ahead.
Tang Wulin was greeted by an extremely astonis.h.i.+ng sight at the conclusion of the forest; it was a metal embankment.
There was a metal embankment that was over 300 meters tall surrounding the Star Dou Forest. The embankment was far taller than even the tallest trees here, and as his gaze traveled up the embankment, Tang Wulin discovered that there was a virtually transparent light barrier in the air around a kilometer above the forest.
The first thought that sprang to Tang Wulin's mind was that this was a cage.
The core region of the Star Dou Forest was the habitat for the most powerful soul beasts, yet it had now already become a gigantic cage.
No one knew the true situation here as this had already become a restricted zone that belonged to the Spirit PaG.o.da.
An indescribable sense of sorrow welled up in his heart. The final safe haven of the soul beasts had already been reduced to nothing more than a cage by the Spirit PaG.o.da.
He had taken history lessons, and the historical records stated that when Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao founded the Spirit PaG.o.da, his objective was for humans and soul beasts to coexist in peace and harmony!
However, the truth was far from the utopia he'd envisioned. Human soul technology had advanced far too quickly, and with the invention of battle armor, the most powerful beings of the human race could completely overpower even the most fearsome soul beasts. Even the human race itself had suffered from the fearsome destructive power of its own cutting-edge technology.
Soul Masters were once the most revered and regal beings on the entire continent.
Back in the wars of the distant past, the side that had the most powerful Soul Masters had virtually won half the battle.
As soul technology progressed, the individual powers of Soul Masters were beginning to become less and less significant. The tragic disaster that Shrek Academy had just been struck by was a perfect example of this.
