Quan Yi and Quan Li exchanged glances, then began to head towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
With their strength and speed, they could easily traverse the areas outside the core region.
In a single day, they had approached the outer edge of the core region.
Quan Yi and Quan Li stopped, temporarily staying on the outer edge of the core region to adjust their breathing.
Quan Yi immediately took out water and jerky from the Blazing Sun Heart, handing them to Quan Li, and said, "Grandpa, replenish your energy first."
Quan Li unceremoniously took the food and water, eating and drinking heartily.
The core region ahead was full of Soul Beasts that were over ten thousand years old. Moreover, they weren't ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts; those living in the core region were at least fifty thousand years old.
And, most terrifyingly, there was a high probability of encountering Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts.
Generally, the strength of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast was at least at the Titled Douluo level.
If they encountered a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, even a top Soul Douluo like Quan Li would be unable to contend with it.
"For the exploration ahead, Xiao Yi, you must be extremely careful. If you are discovered by other Soul Beasts, you must retreat immediately and avoid conflict."
Quan Li and Quan Yi had developed a series of plans before entering the forest.
Among them, the most important was to avoid conflict as much as possible when encountering non-target Soul Beasts.
Even if a Soul Beast initiated an attack, they had to retreat at full speed to avoid the consumption and damage caused by the conflict.
Quan Li looked at Quan Yi, who was only slightly panting, and said:
"Xiao Yi, your physical fitness is not much worse than mine now. In this situation, can you try to challenge a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?"
It should be noted that Quan Yi had maintained the same speed as Quan Li when arriving at the core region.
Although the two of them were only running based on their physical fitness in order to save Soul Power, this, on the other hand, showed that Quan Yi's physical fitness was no different from Quan Li, a top Soul Douluo.
Moreover, Quan Yi's spiritual power had also reached the Soul Douluo realm.
In the current situation, Quan Li felt that Quan Yi would have no problem even if he absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Quan Yi shook his head and replied, "It's not like I haven't thought about it before. However, there are too many uncertainties in absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring now. You should know that Soul Beasts undergo qualitative changes when they break through one hundred thousand years, and with my current spiritual power, I may not be able to resist the mental impact of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.
For the sake of conservatism, I think it's more appropriate to absorb a Soul Ring below one hundred thousand years this time."
Quan Li also nodded in response, "Well, you're right, whether we can defeat a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast is a problem right now.
However, it may not be the same next time we come."
Quan Li's eyes became deep, and the light in his pupils fearlessly stared in the direction of the core region.
Quan Yi understood Quan Li's meaning, and also stared at the core region, thinking to himself, "Next time, next time we come, it will be time to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
After resting for a quarter of an hour, the two of them restored their state to its best.
Quan Li stood up and solemnly instructed, "Xiao Yi, be careful, and retreat immediately if anything goes wrong, understand?"
Quan Yi nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to scout for Soul Beasts, and I'll retreat immediately once I find the target."
Quan Li nodded and said, "Well, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
In the next moment, Quan Yi's body turned into a ball of flame, and then disappeared before Quan Li's eyes.
Soul Bone Skill, Fire Spirit Body.
The best divine skill for hiding one's figure and scouting the enemy's situation.
With this Soul Skill, Quan Yi could explore the core region relatively safely.
Quan Li looked in the direction where Quan Yi disappeared, and was also very worried, but he also knew that this was the optimal solution, so he could only endure the anxiety in his heart, guard in place, and wait for Quan Yi's return.
After Quan Yi flew into the core region, he reduced the flame as much as possible.
He was now flying through the forest almost in the form of tiny fire elements, reducing the released light and heat to the extreme.
To this extent, even Quan Li, as a Soul Douluo, could not easily detect it.
This was also the reason why Quan Li agreed to Quan Yi's solo reconnaissance.
After entering the core area, Quan Yi didn't rush around recklessly. Instead, he started exploring from the outermost ring, which, although time-consuming, was very safe.
Moreover, in the Fire Spirit Body state, Quan Yi's range for detecting Fire-attribute fluctuations would become larger. Therefore, although it would take some time, it wouldn't be too long.
After an afternoon of exploration, Quan Yi had explored two rings.
Although he found many Fire-attribute Soul Beasts, their age was around fifty thousand years, which was not within Quan Yi's selection range at all.
Quan Yi realized that to find a suitable Soul Beast, he had to go a few rings deeper.
However, as it was getting dark, Quan Yi sped up and, after completing the exploration of the third ring, returned to Quan Li's side.
Night fell.
Quan Li, who was vigilantly watching the surrounding movements, suddenly felt a scorching aura from his side.
The next moment, Quan Yi appeared.
Even though Quan Li knew it was Quan Yi, he was still startled.
However, as a Soul Douluo, he maintained his composure and asked, "Xiao Yi, did you find it?"
Quan Yi shook his head and replied, "Not yet."
"Then let's stop here for today. You should recover your Soul Power first, and continue exploring tomorrow when it's bright."
"Okay, Grandpa."
The two moved slightly away from the core area, heading towards the outside.
Reaching a hidden resting area, Quan Yi immediately sat down cross-legged and began to recover his Soul Power.
Although an afternoon of exploration didn't consume too much of his Soul Power, it wasn't as if he was in perfect condition.
After resting for the night, the sky gradually brightened.
Quan Yi and Quan Li set off again.
This day, Quan Yi once again followed the plan, exploring the core area inch by inch.
As the search area approached the center, Quan Yi's exploration speed became faster and faster.
In the morning, Quan Yi explored the middle ring of the core area.
Finally, within Quan Yi's Fire-attribute detection range, he sensed a terrifyingly violent Fire-attribute aura.
Quan Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully explored in the direction of the aura.
When Quan Yi approached the source of the aura, a giant hill appeared before his eyes.
And that aura was emitted from the inside of the hill.
Quan Yi quickly circled the hill, and soon, he saw a huge cave on the opposite side of the hill.
The cave occupied half of the hill. Looking inside, it was completely dark. It was unimaginable what kind of thing could dig such a bottomless cave out of a large hill.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Quan Yi could even hear a rhythmic vibration.
How can one obtain the tiger's cubs without entering the tiger's lair?
To find out the type of Soul Beast, Quan Yi decided to enter the cave.
Quan Yi's speed was very fast. After a few minutes, he passed through the dark cave entrance and saw a huge creature emitting a Scarlet Red glow.
The moment Quan Yi saw this behemoth, a name flashed in his mind.
"Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon!"
