Chapter 21 Spending the Night in the Forest! A Peaceful Night!
Qing Zhengyue glanced at him and nodded slightly.
"The Windwood Dragon's wind attribute, combined with its wood attribute, perfectly provides it with the ability to fly. Moreover, the Windwood Dragon flies very fast and is highly maneuverable."
Qing Hongyuan paused, then added, "More importantly, we just fought a battle with the Windwood Dragon, and we have a firsthand understanding of its attack methods, defenses, and movement habits."
He looked at his son with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"The 5,900-year-old Windwood Dragon on the other side of the wind has given us a clear understanding of this type of soul beast. If we encounter an even older Windwood Dragon, we won't start from scratch; we'll come prepared."
Qing Mufeng nodded slightly upon hearing his father's words.
Father is right. Although Grandpa was the main force in that battle, he participated in the whole thing and has a much deeper understanding of Feng Mulong than he could from books.
"How do we choose the year for the Wind Wood Dragon?" Qing Zhengyue asked.
"Between 20,000 and 30,000 years," Qing Hongyuan said. "I'm currently level 50, and my physique, tempered by the Azure Dragon Technique, is far superior to what it used to be. I should be able to withstand a soul ring of around 30,000 years."
Qing Zhengyue pondered for a moment.
Windwood Dragons, aged between 20,000 and 30,000 years, should be found deep within the Hurricane Wood Mountains in the northern and southern regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He had paid attention to the surrounding terrain when he was hunting for Feng'er's third spirit ring.
The terrain is even more rugged and the vegetation is even denser deep within the Hurricanewood Mountains, making it a habitat for older Hurricanewood Dragons.
The battle they had just fought gave them a direct understanding of the habits of the Windwood Dragon.
This is not experience that can be learned from books; it is valuable information gained through real-world experience.
"Can."
The old man nodded: "But the principle remains the same, safety first. If a suitable wind-wood dragon cannot be found, other flying wood-attribute dragons can be used as substitutes. The age can be appropriately reduced, with a minimum of 20,000 years."
"Thank you, Father." Qing Hongyuan nodded solemnly.
Looking at her son's serious face, Liu Yunlan suddenly smiled.
"When you were little, you always wanted to fly."
The old lady said, "You were only five or six years old then. You climbed trees every day, saying you wanted to fly up to the sky to see the world. Once, you climbed onto the roof and jumped down, breaking your arm. Your father almost beat you to death."
Qing Hongyuan felt a little embarrassed when his mother brought up the past, but he couldn't help but smile.
"That's because I was ignorant when I was little," he muttered.
Qing Mufeng sat to the side, listening to his grandmother tell embarrassing stories about his father when he was a child, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He looked at his father and suddenly realized that this usually taciturn man actually had a childlike side.
Transformation into a dragon.
flight.
This is my father's dream.
It is also the dream of everyone in the Qing family.
.....
Night deepened.
Liu Yunlan added a few dry branches to the campfire, and the flames licked the firewood, making a crackling sound.
The firelight illuminated a small area around the camp, casting long shadows of the five men.
Qing Mufeng was not sleepy. He leaned against a rock and looked up at the night sky.
The stars are exceptionally bright at night in the Starry Sky Forest.
Without the light pollution of the city, without the obstruction of smog, the sky is filled with stars like scattered diamonds on a black cloth, densely packed and twinkling.
He recalled the battle from before.
The scales, claws, wind blades, tail whips of the Windwood Dragon... every detail was etched into his mind.
If a 5,900-year-old Windwood Dragon has that kind of strength, how strong would a 20,000-30,000-year-old one be?
he does not know.
But he knew that his father's choice was right.
I chose Windwood Dragon not only because of its attribute compatibility, but also because...
They just fought a battle with Feng Mulong.
Be familiar with every move and technique of its.
This experience is more valuable than any book knowledge.
Qing Mufeng closed his eyes and began to circulate the Azure Dragon Technique.
Soul power flowed through his meridians, all four paths opening. His newly acquired third soul ring.
A deep purple soul ring.
It slowly rotated in his dantian, echoing the other two spirit rings.
The power of the third divine ability, Azure Dragon Riding the Wind, always flowed within him.
With a slight thought, his body felt lighter, as if an invisible force was supporting him.
But he didn't fly; he simply felt that power, became familiar with it, and mastered it.
Flying is an instinct.
But instincts also need practice to be fully utilized.
.....
The next day, it was dawn.
Five figures set off from the camp and continued their journey deeper into the forest.
Qing Zhengyue walked at the front, his long sword drawn three inches from its sheath, his eyes scanning the woods ahead like a hawk.
The deeper you go, the denser the trees become, the dimmer the light, and the stronger the stench of decay in the air.
Qing Hongyuan followed closely behind, his gaze firm and his steps steady.
His right hand would occasionally tighten and loosen its grip on the hilt of the sword at his waist, repeating this several times, as if he were adjusting his state.
He knew that this hunt was not for his son, but for himself.
He is the current head of the Qing family and Qing Mufeng's father.
He cannot hide behind his father and son forever.
He also wants to become stronger.
It's not to prove anything, but for the sake of...
It deserves the title "transformation into a dragon".
Moreover, they are experienced.
They knew how the Windwood Dragon fought.
This experience will make this hunt less uncertain and more certain.
.....
Silent all night.
The campfire burned for most of the night. Liu Yunlan got up twice to add more firewood. The flames licked the firewood, making a soft crackling sound, dispelling the chill and dampness of the night.
In the camp, five figures slept peacefully, their breathing steady and long.
Qing Zhengyue sat back on the outermost rock, his long sword resting on his knees, and closed his eyes as if dozing.
His spiritual power was always like an invisible net, covering an area of hundreds of feet in radius.
Any creature that enters this area will be detected by his senses, regardless of size.
Throughout the night, several low-level soul beasts approached.
A shadow cat, about a hundred years old, peered into the bushes for a moment, but was intimidated by Qing Zhengyue's mental pressure and turned to disappear into the darkness.
A three-hundred-year-old black-striped snake poked its head out from a crevice in the rock. Sensing the aura of a Soul Emperor, it was so frightened that it shrank back into the cave and never came out again.
There was also a group of small, unidentified soul beasts making rustling noises in the distance, but they dared not approach.
There is nothing else.
With a peak Soul Emperor in charge and two Soul Kings assisting him, this configuration puts them at the top of the food chain in the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Those low-level soul beasts that had been around for ten or a hundred years were terrified and fled in all directions just by smelling this aura.
Soul beasts of the millennium level will stay far away and will not provoke them.
Unless they're really tired of living.
Although soul beasts at this level have not yet developed human intelligence like ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, their dangerous instincts tell them that getting close here means death.
It's impossible for him to come over.
Therefore, the night passed peacefully.
