The sunset forest turned out to be larger than I imagined, the flight to the central part took about 12 hours, and at my speed it is several thousand kilometers, and during this time I collected about two hundred plant spirit beasts and several spiritual bones over ten thousand years old, which is me I was very struck, yet before I was mainly only in the far north, and the only forest of spirit animals that I bothered to visit, like the north, could not boast of a large number of animals, whereas now it was found almost at every step, not to mention about some individuals who not only were not frightened off by my aura, but they attacked me without fear, well, the bones of the spirit will not be superfluous.

However, I never caught a single more or less intelligent beast of the spirit, everyone either ran away or attacked me, even when I hid the aura, only when they saw my carcass they ran away, some even died of fear when I followed them, so I spat on this matter and decided to wait until I reach the center of the forest, for I haven't come across spirit beasts older than 20 thousand years, and they, if this is not a special pedigree, are not particularly rich in reason.

However, immediately upon arrival in the central part of the forest, I was lucky enough to find a reasonable beast of the spirit, but it would be better if I tried to knock out information from the previous brave individuals, for this person, although most likely knows the information I need, but in stubbornness will surpass all those who came across to me earlier put together, while his strength will not much give way to his stubbornness, turning into reckless courage. A sixty-thousand-year-old dark golden bear of a fierce claw, a spirit beast with one of the strongest attacks and defenses on the continent, well, since we have such an opportunity, we will not miss it.

While I noticed the bear, he also felt me, after which he roared into the attack, while sending sickles of spiritual energy from his famous claws, which made up one third of the length of his paws, at me. I didn't even talk, but immediately attacked, as expected, although I expected more from a reasonable, albeit a beast, but I did not take on his attacks, I know the limit of my defense and, given the strength of his attacks, they will not be able to pierce me, but the scratches will remain large, so I immediately began to lift the ice walls along the path of his attacks and himself, at the same time began to create an ice fog that moved away from my body and began to cover an ever greater distance. In general, this is a convenient thing, it can be used not only to hide oneself, and even the spiritual instinct does not work in it, unless it is stronger than the owner, but also to use it for attack, even if microscopic pieces of ice do not have a strong attack by themselves, but they are strong enough and with strong control they simply grind the victim into powder, of course, only with a large gap in levels, but as a massive attack and control, it's even nothing.

My ice walls could not stop him and he punched them like paper, but this gave me a few seconds, during which the ice fog covered an area of ​​four hundred meters in diameter, this is quite enough for a fight, and it will not be advisable to expand further, because control will fall and efficiency. After the bear hit my sphere, he slowed down, trying to find me, after which he became even more furious and began to attack with sickles in all directions, because it was expected that he could not find me, but at that time I took off and began to dive on him, and after a split second rammed his carcass, throwing him a hundred meters. But he did not even get hurt on the campaign, and if he received wounds, then they were very minimal and insignificant, for he immediately attacked me with his claws, from which I dodged again and hit him with my tail again, setting him in flight, even if his attack power could be me at the expense of my claws, but in sheer strength I surpass him, so that each blow sent the clubfoot flying.

But I should give him his due, he held out much more titled fighting spirits with whom I fought before, for half an hour I thoroughly beat his carcass, while launching my spiritual power into all wounds, which slowly but surely froze him, so we would fought with him further, but under the constant hail of my attacks and a waste of spiritual strength to protect against the ice fog, which not only scratched the skin, but also got into the eyes and light bears, and the only thing that protected his weak points was his spiritual strength, which dried up after half an hour of the battle, so that almost instantly he lost his sight. Of course, even the fact that there was no whole place left on his skin, and his eyes were destroyed, were not fatal wounds for him, so I began to elicit the necessary information for myself, because he was very stubborn and did not want to voluntarily speak.

After another hour of continuous roars of pain that resounded through the forest, I became the owner of not only the information I needed, but also two whole high-quality bones of the spirit, one of which was external and represented the five fierce claws of a bear, which made my inner

him a hamster, even if I myself cannot use it, but this thing is very valuable, more valuable than all the spiritual bones put together that I now have, and these are more than four dozen ten-thousand-year-old specimens, so there will be no superfluous.

As for the information, she at the same time delighted and led into a small stupor, the bear knew the location of the crater, he himself was there quite often, because next to him was the nest of the fifty-thousand-year-old queen of bees, which he periodically plundered, so if possible you can look there yourself , but here is the crater itself ... inside it now live two hundred and fifty thousand-year-old beasts of the spirit, not a very strong pedigree, the bear was quite capable of killing one of them, according to his description it resembles an ice turtle with a dragon's head, because of its appearance, its attack is limited only by the ice element , who did not particularly act on the clubfoot, and her defense would sooner or later surrender under furious attacks, but the second beast of the spirit brought problems, which turned out to be a plant beast of the spirit of the lotus, but nevertheless, with a fiery attribute, he not only healed the turtle, but and suppressed the bear with a temperature, even if the lotus did not pose a danger to him alone, but the turtle did not dug all the opportunities for an attack, and if the ice did not break through his skin, then the fire simply heated the internal organs, so the clubfoot ran away before they had time to be seriously damaged.

Here is the dilemma, based on the description of the bear, they have a very well-coordinated work, while they overlap each other's weaknesses and together are quite capable of resisting the stronger beasts of the spirit, one by one I can kill both without problems, and there is no reason to leave them alive, but they are always together, only inside the crater, so this option disappears. In principle, I think I can suppress them if I act unexpectedly, the lotus should not have strong protection if I immediately damage it, while pulling the ice part of the area over to myself, and given the nature of its occurrence, I think there will be no problems with this, and , constantly healing from the feeding of honey, I will be able to defeat them, and there is already a murder not far away, they will not be able to get away from me, the turtle is armored, but slow, the lotus in general, if it is able to move, then even slower than the turtle, while it the defense is much less and it will be much easier to kill him. Well, that sounds like a plan, so after deciding to stick with it, I took off and headed towards the crater.

Along the way, I also began to remember everything I knew about the eyes of ice and fire, now, perhaps there will be other herbs, but at this time I was more worried about the dragon heritage that I could get, in the days of 1 part of the battle continent of the souls of dragon kings were already scattered and they were able to restore their spiritual wisdom only after 20 thousand years, I hope now they are still at least a little able to maintain their existence, then I can get the maximum benefit from this journey in the shortest possible time, but even for the worst cases I had plans, so I, remembering all that was necessary, cleared my mind and focused on the upcoming battle, gaining maximum height along the way, while hiding my aura.
