The entire Heavenly Fate City was divided into two parts by the Tianyun Ancient River. The eastern part was the residential area where the three great clans lived, as well as the countless villages and towns under their jurisdiction. The western region was the Tianyunshen Soul Academy's area, a place for the Tianyunshen Soul Academy to cultivate and train. Further west of the Tianyunshen Soul Academy was the Great Forest of Morning Sparrows. There were many Meta Beasts in the forest. Now that the Tianyunshen Soul Academy was guarding this area, many disciples of the Tianyunshen Soul Academy's families often came here to hunt Meta Beasts to increase their combat strength.
The Tianyun Soul Academy was located in the west of the city, separated from the east by the Tianyun Ancient River. It was close to the Great Sparrow Forest. While it provided the Soul Academy disciples with training conditions, it could also protect the people in the east of the city from being harassed by the various Meta Beasts in the forest. There were countless types of Meta Beasts in the Great Sparrow Forest. Although most of the Meta Beasts near the edge of the forest were low-level, they were not something that ordinary people could resist. As the number of Meta Beasts increased, in order to prevent the huge number of Meta Beasts from harming humans, the teachers of the Heavenly Fate Soul Academy would lead their disciples to kill some Meta Beasts every once in a while. At the same time, it was common to see mercenary teams formed by soul masters entering the forest to hunt for Meta beasts, obtaining beast cores and other materials from them.
In the outer regions of the Great Sparrow Forest, there were mainly some first and second level Meta Beasts. Under normal circumstances, Meta Beasts had some innate talent and skills. Many Meta Beasts had a much longer lifespan than humans. Meta Beasts of the same level were stronger than humans of the same level.
In the past, the disciples of the clan had also gone to the Great Sparrow Forest to train. It was full of dangers. If they were unlucky enough to encounter a high-level Meta beast, they could only admit that they were unlucky. In the past, some members of the Chu clan had risked their lives to hunt for beast cores to earn rich profits. They were injured by the attack of the Meta beast and even died in the mouth of the beast.
In order to protect the safety of humans, the Tianyun Soul Academy erected a wooden sign ten miles away from the Great Sparrow Forest. The sign read," Meta beasts are active ten miles away. There are many high-level Meta beasts. Pay attention to your safety. You must enter in groups."”
In terms of area, Morning Sparrow Forest was equivalent to half of Bohai County. All kinds of elemental beasts had occupied the forest for many years. Generally, low-level soul masters only moved around in the periphery. Only some mercenaries or hunting teams dared to enter the depths of the forest. As a primeval forest, there were many elemental beasts living in groups. There were also lush old trees that were tens of millions of years old. The cries of various birds could be heard everywhere, as well as the sounds of wild beasts and elemental beasts foraging for food.
The beasts here were divided into wild beasts and Meta beasts. Wild beasts were just some ordinary animals. After continuously absorbing Yuan Qi and condensing a Beast Core, they could be called Meta Beasts. Wild beasts might be able to threaten commoners, but those who dared to enter the forest were all soul masters with some cultivation base, so they were not afraid of wild beasts. The only threats to Spirit Masters were those powerful and intelligent Meta Beasts.
All kinds of towering ancient trees made the entire forest seem gloomy, but from time to time, one could hear the sounds of human soul masters and origin beasts fighting. Those soul masters who came to explore, especially those who ventured into the depths of the forest, many of them risked their lives to enter. The deeper they went into the forest, the more they could see the corpses and bones of the dead. Some of the bones had already been weathered and deformed over the years.
Chu Nan had been walking in the forest for three days. Fortunately, he did not encounter any high-level Meta beasts. Moreover, his spirit soul, the Nine Yang Gourd, relied on its strong sensing ability towards the reeds to easily sense the reeds that were everywhere in the forest. It could communicate with the reeds and determine if there were any powerful Meta beasts within a radius of a few miles. This allowed him to avoid those powerful Meta beasts or those that were in groups to deal with troublesome Meta beasts, thus taking the initiative to avoid getting hurt.
Now that he was a third-rank Soul Warrior, he should be able to deal with ordinary first-rank Meta Beasts with the powerful soul technique bestowed by the Demonic Reed and the martial techniques contained in the Demonic Energy Forbidden Manual. Meta beasts of the same rank were stronger than human spirit masters, so if he encountered a late stage rank one or higher Meta beast, he would run as far away as possible for safety reasons.
Even though this was the outer perimeter of the forest, the deeper they went, the more eerie they felt the road.
At this moment, a 'whoosh' sound suddenly came from under his feet and something dashed over at the speed of the wind. The sudden sound startled him and he stared at it. It was a meatball-like Meta beast that usually curled up. Chu Nan only recognized it when he stretched his body.
" Tier 1 Meta beast, Scarlet Wind Rabbit."
As they had come in a hurry, there was not much dry food stored in the storage ring. They had already finished eating in the past few days. Walking in the forest all day, he felt hungry.
"Little bunny, you're unlucky to have met me today. I can only use you as a snack today.”
This was the first time he had used it in actual combat ever since he had awakened his lifeline. Moreover, he had encountered a low-level Meta beast with weak offensive power, so it was a good practice. He had read some books on Meta Beasts in the past, so he could recognize the appearance and characteristics of common Meta Beasts.
The Scarlet Wind Rabbit was a wind-attributed spirit beast. Its main characteristic was its speed. Its main attack method was the wind blades it spat out from its mouth. However, its attack power was not particularly strong. If the wind blades did not hit the vital points of a human soul master, there would usually be no danger to their lives.
"If it was a late stage rank 1 Meta beast, it might still be able to pose a threat to me, and it might be a little troublesome to deal with. However, this early stage rank 1 Meta beast is not a threat to me at all.”
Meta beasts had developed intelligence, and the higher the level of the Meta beast, the higher the intelligence. The Scarlet Wind Rabbit seemed to have seen through Chu Nan's thoughts and spat out a wind blade. Chu Nan jumped and dodged the wind blade. Chu Nan's cultivation technique was originally a wind attribute cultivation technique, and after cultivating it, his alertness had greatly increased. As there was a distance of ten meters between them, the Scarlet Wind Rabbit quickly jumped onto the tree and was only five meters away from Chu Nan.
Another two wind blades shot towards Chu Nan. It was obvious that it wanted to use the wind blades as cover and escape. This time, Chu Nan did not dodge. He stretched out his hand and caught the wind blades with his bare hands. The hand that caught the wind blades only grazed his skin slightly.
He didn't expect his body to be strengthened to such an extent as he continued to absorb the Demon God's blood essence and temper his body with the Demonic Energy Forbidden Tome. He was actually able to receive the Scarlet Wind Rabbit's wind blade with his bare hands.
This was completely unimaginable for an ordinary low-rank soul warrior.
Chu Nan understood that this was because the Scarlet Wind Rabbit and Chu Nan were of the same level. If it was a high-level Scarlet Wind Rabbit spitting out a wind blade, Chu Nan would never dare to receive it with his bare hands. Even though Chu Nan had refined the demon blood and cultivated the Demon Aether Forbidden Manual to give him a tenacious body, the difference in their levels was too great, and Chu Nan would still be injured.
The Scarlet Wind Rabbit saw how difficult it was to deal with the enemy in front of it and turned around to run.
"Now it's my turn to play, parasitic reeds!”
The three reed seeds were quickly sprayed onto the Scarlet Wind Rabbit's buttocks and thighs. After the reed seed entered the Scarlet Wind Rabbit's body, it rapidly grew and absorbed the nutrients in the Scarlet Wind Rabbit's body. Three black reeds grew from the Scarlet Wind Rabbit's buttocks and legs. If the reeds were allowed to continue absorbing the rabbit like this, the entire Scarlet Wind Rabbit would be reduced to a pile of bones in less than three minutes. Chu Nan leaped up and pulled out the three rapidly growing demon reeds. The Scarlet Wind Rabbit was already on its last breath, and more than half of its blood had been absorbed by the demon reeds.
"It seems that if I were to hunt Meta Beasts for food, it would be best to use this method less often. Otherwise, if I were to wait for a little longer, the reed seed would absorb the flesh and blood of the Meta Beasts until not even a residue was left.”
Chu Nan continued to search for a while and discovered that there were many Scarlet Wind Rabbits here. Most of them were at the early stage of the first rank, and there was only one at the middle stage. Chu Nan only needed to spend some effort to deal with it.
In less than two hours, he had killed five Scarlet Wind Rabbits.
"Haha, I've been hungry for a day. I want to have a full meal now. I have to fill my stomach first.”
Chu Nan found an empty space and prepared to feast.
