Transcending 10,000 Daos [BL] Chapter 301: Soul Beasts Forest

After discussing for several hours, the group of five stood at the edge of the fog area.

"We should stay together and not separate." Yang Xu reminded for the hundredth ti.

He was worried they would separate and lose each other in the fog.

If that happened, it would be difficult to reunite especially since their divine sense would be suppressed in the fog.

"We know." Jiang Yue said and almost rolled his eyes.

However, he didn’t take the matter lightly.

He knew entering the fog was dangerous since the area was unchartered and they didn’t know what they would face.

After getting everyone’s assurance, Yang Xu led the way and the group entered the fog.

"This..." Xuan Ke said and frowned.

"It’s worse than I thought." Yu Nianzhen said.

He knew his visibility and divine sense would be limited when he entered the fog.

However, he didn’t expect the situation to be so bad.

At the mont, he could only see one tre ahead of him and his divine sense could only cover five tres.

Most importantly, his spirit was depressed and he felt like he was bearing a heavy burden.

"Everyone should be on guard. Say sothing as soon as you notice sothing." Bing Lan said.

"Okay." Jiang Yue answered for the collective.

"Which direction should we go?" Xuan Ke suddenly.

"Let’s head North. There is an ice mountain on the north side of the fog field." Yu Nianzhen said.

So far, he, Jiang Yue, and Xuan Ke had managed to get an origin treasure.

However, neither Yang Xu nor Bing Lan had gotten any.

In that case, the best option was to head to the ice mountain so that Bing Lan could get an origin treasure.

After that, they would choose another area depending on the situation.

"I agree with going North." Jiang Yue agreed.

"I also want to go North but which way is north?" Xuan Ke asked.

When the others heard that, they imdiately checked their compasses but the instrunts were whirling without settling in a direction.

"The aura in this area is a little strange. Most of our tools can’t be used in this fog." Bing Lan said and sighed.

"Let’s rely on instinct." Yu Nianzhen said and looked at Jiang Yue.

Of everyone, Jiang Yue was the most instinctive.

If he chose a direction, they would probably avoid a lot of dangers and eventually co out of the fog.

"I want to go this way." Jiang Yue said and pointed to his left.

"Good." Yu Nianzhen said and motioned for the others to follow.

Without hesitation, the other four followed Jiang Yue and eventually arrived in front of a mud puddle.

The puddle was less than thirty centitres wide and its depth was about ten centitres.

Although Jiang Yue called it a puddle, its water was sparkling and transparent which showed it wasn’t ordinary.

"What kind of puddle is this?" Xuan Ke asked as he approached the puddle.

"Why do I feel like my soul has been washed?" Jiang Yue asked and the others nodded in agreent.

They all felt especially comfortable and none wanted to give up that feeling.

"It should be soul marrow." Bing Lan said and soone gasped.

Soul marrow was a rare soul treasure that could purify the soul and compress soul power.

Unfortunately, a puddle like the one before them required at least one hundred

thousand years to form.

"Soul marrow? Is that true?" Xuan Ke asked excitedly.

"I have read about it in an ancient book but this is the first ti I see it."

"I also think it’s soul marrow." Jiang Yue said but didn’t explain.

He was about to walk to the puddle when Yu Nianzhen held his arm to stop him.

"What’s wrong?" He asked.

"I don’t know..." Yu Nianzhen said and frowned.

He always felt that sothing was wrong but he didn’t know what.

"Nianzhen, do you also feel it?" Yang Xu asked and Yu Nianzhen turned to look at him.

"Mmmm." Yu Nianzhen nodded distractedly.

"I feel eyes on my body but I don’t see anyone or anything." He continued.

"Do you an we are being watched?" Jiang Yue asked as his body grew tense.

Although he didn’t have the feeling of being watched, he trusted his husband.

If Nianzhen felt so uneasy, there was probably sothing wrong.

"Could the opponent be invisible?" Jiang Yue asked.

"It’s possible." Yu Nianzhen agreed and was about to say more when a scream reverberated in the surroundings.

The scream was pain-filled and everyone who heard it felt a chill all over their bodies.

"Brother Xuan..." Jiang Yue called in a low voice.

For so reason, he was on the edge of panic and couldn’t summon the mind to approach Xuan Ke who was rolling on the ground.

"This..., what happened to him?" Bing Lan asked.

Although it wasn’t cold, she was shivering and her voice was trembling badly.

Like Jiang Yue, she also seed to be at the edge of panic and was only holding on because her husband held her hand.

"There is sothing here." Yu Nianzhen said with a frown on his face.

He stood beside Jiang Yue and prepared to protect him if sothing happened.

However, everything was a waiting ga since they couldn’t see the enemy.

"XiaoYue, let’s see what’s wrong with brother Xuan." Yu Nianzhen said and Jiang Yue nodded.

He also wanted to care for brother Xuan but he was severely affected by what was happening.

’I wonder why Azhen isn’t so affected.’ He wondered and felt a little resentful.

However, he was also grateful.

If Yu Nianzhen was also severely affected, they would fall into a passive situation and beco lambs for slaughter.

At least in this way, there were two sober people to take care of the rest.

A mont later, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen arrived in front of Xuan Ke.

At this ti, Xuan Ke had stopped screaming but his face was eerily pale.

He looked like all blood had been sucked out of his body and his eyes were a little haunted.

"Brother Xuan, what happened?" Jiang Yue asked.

At the question, Xuan Ke lifted his head and looked at the two people.

His expression was a little lost and he looked like he didn’t recognise them for a mont.

"Brother Xuan..."

"I don’t know what happened. I suddenly felt a lot of pain in my head but it only lasted for a mont." Xuan Ke said and his eyes turned gloomy.

When he thought of the debilitating pain at that mont, he couldn’t help but shiver.

"It may be a soul attack." Yang Xu said with a solemn look on his face.

In the Cangxing world, few cultivators pursued the dao of the soul.

However, those who did were extrely powerful and dangerous.

Since he suspected the fog area had sothing to do with the soul, he expected they would sooner or later encounter danger.

Unfortunately, Yang Xu underestimated the danger.

He didn’t expect that when danger ca, they would be unable to resist.

"Brother Xuan, check if there is any damage to your soul." Jiang Yue instructed urgently.

"Go into the ancient palace." Yu Nianzhen said when he saw that Xuan Ke was about to sit down.

In the current situation, Yu Nianzhen didn’t think it was safe to ditate in the open.

If Xuan Ke did so and was attacked again, they may not be able to protect him.

"Okay." Xuan Ke agreed and Jiang Yue sent him into the ancient palace.

While he was away, the others began to search the surroundings.

However, they didn’t find anything and there were no more attacks.

"I once read an ancient book that talked about soul beasts." Bing Lan suddenly said.

"Soul beasts?" Yang Xu asked.

"Their bodies are invisible and they use soul power to attack. Like demonic beasts, they also have a core but their core has soul power instead of qi."

"I am sorry, I didn’t rember this matter until now." Bing Lan clenched her hands and apologised.

She felt guilty for forgetting such an important thing.

If she had rembered it, they wouldn’t have carelessly entered the fog area when Yang Xu suspected it had sothing to do with soul treasures.

"Master’s wife doesn’t need to apologise or feel guilty." Yu Nianzhen said.

Even if they knew they would encounter soul beasts, they would still enter the fog area.

This was because the alternative was not an option.

After all, demonic qi was extrely toxic to human cultivators.

As such, they would still choose the fog area even if they knew about the soul beasts.

"Is there a way to find the soul beasts?" Yang Xu asked and Bing Lan fell into thought.

She recalled everything she read in that book and her eyes brightened.

"They can only be seen and killed using soul power." Bing Lan said.

"Soul power..." Yu Nianzhen muttered and his brows creased in focus.

A mont later, his eyes glowed silver and the world around him changed.

"This..." He started but didn’t finish.

"It’s soul beast forest." Jiang Yue mumbled and took a deep breath.
