Chapter 106 Sunset Forest Training
For the rest of the time, Yang Podi stayed alone in the Sunset Forest.
However, the dangers in Sunset Forest far exceeded Yang Podi's expectations. Ten-year soul beasts were almost everywhere, and there were also many hundred-year soul beasts.
Almost every day, you'll encounter several thousand-year-old soul beasts, and sometimes even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast every few days.
For Yang Podi, who is at the Soul King stage, killing a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast shouldn't be too difficult if he goes all out. However, the biggest fear in Sunset Forest is getting injured, as that will attract all sorts of strange and wonderful soul beasts.
In particular, many soul beasts are very sensitive to the smell of blood. Yang Podi had observed this before. After killing a thousand-year soul beast, it took less than ten minutes to attract four or five hundred-year soul beasts. Within an hour, two thousand-year-level soul beasts were attracted, and occasionally even a ten-thousand-year soul beast would be attracted.
Yang Podi's plan was to fight two thousand-year-old soul beasts or five hundred-year-old soul beasts every day.
Only through such battles can one become stronger.
As for ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, one will only fight against soul beasts of this level when one feels that one has reached a bottleneck or is unable to make progress.
As for soul beasts of the 30,000-year level or above, they always run far away whenever they see them. Soul beasts of this level are beyond the capabilities of a single Soul King to deal with alone. Even if a Soul King could barely defeat one, he would still be injured.
Nighttime is even more dangerous, especially after darkness falls when visibility is much lower. However, for some spirit beasts, it's the opposite.
Some bat-type soul beasts prefer to come out at night, as do spider-type soul beasts and ghost leopard-type soul beasts; they especially like to hunt at night.
Especially some snake-type soul beasts, due to their ability to hibernate, are particularly good at hiding. Many of them hide in bushes or grass, and can be ambushed if you are not careful.
In the past few months, Yang Podi has encountered many dangers, the most dangerous of which was being chased by a 50,000-year-old human-faced demon spider.
This human-faced spider has limbs as sharp as spears and is extremely fast. It can crawl quickly on any terrain and can also spin silk. Once you are trapped in the spider silk, it is very difficult to escape.
Of course, in order to train in the Sunset Forest, Yang Podi tried not to use his soul skills as much as possible. This would save his soul power and allow him to hone his combat skills.
What Yang Podi didn't know was that ever since he left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, his family had been secretly following him. This person was none other than Yang Wuju, the third elder of the family, whose soul power was now as high as level 83.
His grandfather, Yang Wudi, had already made it clear that he would not help Yang Podi unless Yang Podi was in mortal danger.
Three months passed quickly. During these three months, Yang Podi experienced many life-or-death crises, and most of them involved fighting against ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, accumulating a great deal of combat experience.
Especially in marksmanship, after countless life-or-death crises, his marksmanship has become more ruthless and decisive.
Having stayed for a full three months, the place has undergone a complete transformation.
My body seems to have lost a lot of weight, probably because I haven't had a proper rest for the past three months. After all, I'm in Sunset Forest, and even when I rest at night, I do it through meditation.
However, both their strength and speed have improved significantly. The battles between them have indeed helped them progress much faster. In fact, their faces, which were originally a little childish, have completely disappeared, and they now look much more mature.
His black hair flowed freely over his head, and a thick beard grew on his chin. His eyes looked much sharper, like those of a leopard, as if he were always on high alert.
When Yang Podi arrived at the Soul Hunter Town, his body seemed to smell bad. After all, it had been three months since he had taken a proper bath or properly enjoyed his food. In the Sunset Forest, Yang Podi dared not light a fire and ate dry rations or jerky he had prepared in advance.
Upon arriving in Soul Hunter Town, Yang Podi ignored the prices and went straight to a hotel to stay.
Immediately afterwards, he took a happy bath, then tidied up his whole body, trimmed his hair, and shaved his beard. He looked much younger and more handsome, and became a spirited young man again.
This time, Yang Podi did not go home, but went directly to Tiandou City.
First, I went to the Power Clan and asked several elders of the Power Clan to forge many things, including several Soul-Breaking Spears, a set of soft armor knee pads, several swords, and even some other things, including claws and hammers.
Overall, it looks a bit like a small armory, and the materials used to make it are all high-quality metals, which are quite valuable and were purchased from auctions or metal markets in the past.
Immediately afterwards, he bought all sorts of daily necessities, including plenty of vegetables, fruits, meat, and grains, and even a lot of alcohol, making the shopkeepers think that Yang Podi was planning to flee.
In addition, I also bought a lot of clothes, shoes and other daily necessities at Tiandou City.
After all the supplies were prepared, Yang Podi left Tiandou City and headed north. This was Yang Podi's real destination for this training trip. The previous training in Sunset Forest was just to get used to it in advance.
Yang Podi's only destination was the City of Slaughter, which is why he used his soul skills as little as possible in the Sunset Forest. This was mainly to prepare for the environment in the City of Slaughter where the use of soul skills was prohibited.
Yang Podi had already consulted a large number of documents and knew the location of the entrance to the City of Slaughter.
The entrance to the Killing City is in a small town north of Tiandou City. This town is so well hidden that it cannot be found on the map.
Furthermore, based on the map, it can be inferred that the City of Slaughter must have some kind of transaction with the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, the people inside the City of Slaughter wouldn't be able to get out, and who would provide them with the supplies they need? Even the simplest things like water and food would be consumed in huge quantities by the City of Slaughter every day.
This time, Yang Podi searched for half a month before finally arriving at a very desolate town.
The town seemed devoid of life, filled with a deathly stillness. All the houses were extremely dilapidated, practically crumbling ruins.
But upon entering the town, the atmosphere changed. Even though the sun was still shining overhead, there was a chill in the air, or rather, a sense of death.
After searching the town, the enemy finally found the only tavern open in town.
The tavern was bustling with people, probably around ten.
However, these people were not in good condition and did not look like normal people at all. In particular, they all looked ferocious and seemed to exude a faint smell of blood. Obviously, each of them had taken many lives, or rather, everyone present was a desperate criminal.
Moreover, everyone present was emanating soul power, indicating that they were all Soul Masters, but their soul power levels were not very high, with the highest being around a high-level Soul King.
When everyone saw Yang Podi enter the tavern, they were all a little surprised. They didn't expect that such a young man would come to a place like this.
Yang Podi ignored the stares of others and found an empty seat to sit down.
A waiter dressed in black approached Yang Podi's table: "Little friend, what would you like to order?"
Yang Podi, expressionless, said, "Give me a Bloody Mary."
The waiter's expression changed slightly. "Are you sure?"
However, Yang Podi's cold gaze silenced the waiter, who turned away without daring to say anything more. A moment later, a glass of murky liquid was brought to the table. The liquid was dark red and emitted a strong, fishy odor, as pungent as fresh blood.
Yang Podi picked up the Bloody Mary in front of him and smelled it carefully: "Human blood? It also contains datura, poisonous dragon grass, amaryllis, ghost leaf, andrographis paniculata, heartbreak grass, and seven-death flower..."
"Not bad, this formula is indeed quite good, it's having some effect, no wonder it's Bloody Mary."
The people around were speechless. This seemed to be the first time they had ever seen someone mention the recipe for Bloody Mary, and the young man in front of them seemed to be very knowledgeable about pharmacology.
Yang Podi picked up the Bloody Mary in front of him and drank it down in one gulp. He immediately felt a subtle change in his body. His killing intent seemed to be getting stronger, and he even felt a little lost in his consciousness.
"Indeed, this Bloody Mary is a good thing, but it's poisonous."
For Yang Podi, who had already undergone the tempering of ice and fire, this bit of poison was nothing. He drank the Bloody Mary mainly to see how to deal with it in the future.
The Po clan is skilled in both medicine and poison making. Almost everyone in the clan is proficient in pharmacology and toxicology. Although Yang Podi has never made medicine, he has mastered a lot of knowledge about medicine making and is very familiar with pharmacology.
Yang Podi ignored the strange looks from those around him and instead summoned his martial spirit, the Soul-Breaking Spear, directly stabbing at the people nearby, piercing through those who were caught off guard.
He then swung the Soul-Shattering Spear at the people around him.
In less than ten minutes, everyone present except the waiters was killed by Yang Podi.
After everyone at the scene was killed, the entire tavern was covered in blood, and there were even some fragments of corpses, making it look like a living hell.
"Waiter, take me to the Killing City."
The waiter never expected that Yang Podi, who looked ordinary, was actually a killer who wiped out everyone around him in an instant.
Even the waiter himself felt that if he didn't do as Yang Podi said, he might be killed too.
Finally, the waiter led Yang Podi inside the tavern and moved the table, revealing a black hole.
Before Yang Podi could react, soul power suddenly flashed in the air, and a figure suddenly appeared.
This person was none other than Yang Wuju, the third elder of the Po clan.
"Third Elder, what are you doing here? Have you been following me?"
The Third Elder, Yang Wuji, ignored Yang Podi's question: "Podi, what are you trying to do? Where does this hole lead?"
"Slaughter City, this is the entrance to Slaughter City."
The Third Elder's expression changed drastically: "Do you know what the Killing Capital is? It's a living hell."
"Precisely because it is a living hell, it is even more suitable for my cultivation. Third Elder, don't worry, I will be back soon."
Before the Third Elder could react, Yang Podi jumped directly into the black hole in front of him and disappeared instantly, completely beyond the Third Elder's perception range.
Seeing this, the Third Elder could only sigh and then quickly left the tavern.
