Tang Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to protect you."

Under Tang Lan's protection, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong gradually adapted to the tense atmosphere and became more determined to obtain powerful spirit rings.

As they continued to go deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong felt more and more the horror of this place.

There was thick fog all around, visibility was extremely low, and the gloomy atmosphere seemed to swallow them up.

Wang Dong's voice was trembling: "Yuhao, I... I feel goosebumps in my heart."

Huo Yuhao pretended to be calm and said, "Don't be afraid, Wang Dong. Senior Tang Lan is here."

Just then, a strange sound of wind was heard, and a group of poisonous bees came roaring.

Each poisonous bee is the size of a fist, and its stinger flashes a faint blue light, obviously containing a highly toxic substance.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were instantly panicked and didn't know what to do.

Tang Lan quickly released his soul power, forming a barrier to keep the poisonous bees out.

"Stay away!"

Tang Lan shouted loudly, waved his hands, and his soul power turned into flames, instantly engulfing the swarm of poisonous bees.

Seeing Tang Lan resolve the crisis so easily, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Dong said with admiration: "Senior, you are amazing!"

Tang Lan smiled and said, "This is nothing. There may be more powerful soul beasts ahead. You have to follow me closely."

After walking for a while, a wide river appeared in front of us. The water was rushing and a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen swimming in the water.

Huo Yuhao swallowed and said, "Senior, can we cross this river?"

Tang Lan looked around and said, "I'll go over and explore the way first. You guys wait here."

After saying that, Tang Lan flew up, lightly touched the water with his toes, and quickly flew to the other side like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Just as he was about to reach the other side, a huge water python suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Tang Lan.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's hearts instantly rose to their throats.

This water python is a black water snake. It has been practicing for ten thousand years and is an extremely powerful soul beast.

Its huge body is like a small mountain. The thick snake body is covered with hard scales, flashing a cold light in the dim light.

Those blood-red eyes, full of cruelty and brutality, made people shudder.

When Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong saw this huge black water snake, their eyes widened in shock.

The expression on his face froze in an instant, and fear and worry spread quickly like a tide.

Huo Yuhao said with a trembling voice:
"This is actually a ten thousand year old black water snake. Can Senior Tang Lan deal with it?"

His voice was filled with undisguised fear, and his legs were trembling slightly, as if he would collapse to the ground at any second.

Wang Dong clenched his fists tightly, his palms were full of sweat, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead:

"I don't know either. I hope Senior is safe and sound."

His eyes were fixed on Tang Lan, and his eyes showed both trust in Tang Lan and deep worry.

However, Tang Lan didn't take it to heart at all.

He looked at the Black Water Snake calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of disdain.

The look seemed to say that this was just a slightly threatening beast.

Tang Lan snorted coldly:
"How dare a mere ten thousand year old soul beast act so presumptuously in front of me!"

His voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty and confidence, as if this ten thousand year old soul beast was not worth mentioning at all in his eyes.

The Black Water Snake seemed to be angered by Tang Lan's attitude. It opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of black venom.

The venom was like a black torrent, carrying a pungent smell and deadly threat.

Tang Lan dodged it easily like a ghost.

His movements were smooth and there was no panic at all. Tang Lan's hands condensed with light, and a powerful force burst out instantly.

The light was dazzling, like a scorching sun.

This force turned into a fierce attack and attacked directly towards the Black Water Snake.

The black water snake twisted its body to try to dodge.

But Tang Lan's attack was extremely fast and hit its head accurately.

The black water snake felt pain and hissed angrily.

Its huge tail swept towards Tang Lan, causing a gust of wind.

Tang Lan was not in a hurry. He changed his steps flexibly and easily avoided the swift attack.

Then, Tang Lan clasped his hands together and muttered something.

In an instant, the surrounding elemental power gathered towards him madly.

He shouted loudly, and a brilliant light shot out from his hand, rushing straight towards the Black Water Snake.

The moment the light touched the Black Water Snake, a powerful energy wave erupted.

Many of the Black Water Snake's scales were shattered and blood splattered everywhere.

But this ten thousand year old soul beast still resisted stubbornly.

It opened its mouth and spewed out another even stronger stream of venom.

At the same time, he kept twisting his body, trying to entangle Tang Lan with his torso.

Tang Lan was not afraid at all, he jumped up.

Avoid the venom, then make a complex hand seal with your hands.

Suddenly, a huge rune appeared in the sky.

Shining with a mysterious light, it pressed down directly towards the Black Water Snake.

The Black Water Snake felt this powerful pressure and wanted to break free but was unable to do so.

The rune slammed heavily on its body, making a loud bang that shook the earth.

The Black Water Serpent let out its final wail before its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Tang Lan landed slowly on the ground, his expression still calm, as if what he had just experienced was just a trivial battle.

When Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong saw this scene, most of their worries instantly disappeared.

Their eyes were filled with surprise and admiration, and they had a deeper understanding of Tang Lan's powerful strength.

Tang Lan looked at the black soul ring rising from the body of the Black Water Mystic Snake, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"This spirit ring is of very high quality. If you have the fourth spirit ring, you might consider it."

Tang Lan shook his head slightly, with a little regret on his face, and said,

"It's a pity that you are only at the third level now and cannot absorb such a powerful spirit ring. Otherwise, this would be a great help."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong looked at the black soul ring, their eyes full of desire and helplessness.

Huo Yuhao sighed and said, “Senior, although it’s a pity, I believe we will be able to find suitable spirit rings in the future.”

Wang Dong also nodded and said, "Yes, we will work hard to improve ourselves so that we can absorb such high-quality spirit rings as soon as possible."

Tang Lan smiled and encouraged: "It's good that you have such determination. Keep going. Maybe you can gain something else in this Star Forest."

After saying that, Tang Lan took Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong deeper into the forest to look for soul beasts that were suitable for them.

The three of them continued to move forward in the forest, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed than before.

Wang Dong asked curiously:
"Senior Tang Lan, how do you judge the quality of this spirit ring?" (End of this chapter)
