At the same time.
The depths of the Star Dou Forest.
There are two figures moving fastly in the thick of the trees.
From the perspective of the direction, their target turned out to be the forbidden land that is recognized by the soul master world, the center of the Star Dou Forest.
"Old ghost, are you sure. Will we get our answers in this trip?"
"Old Chrysanthemum, you don't have to believe me, but can't you believe the news we got from Heaven Dou City? After many investigations, the final truth points directly to the depths of the Star Dou Forest. Of course, I also know that it is dangerous, otherwise Her Majesty wouldn't have agreed to let you and I come together."
There is no doubt that these two people are the elders of Spirit Palace, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Since the battle at Spirit City there were two questions that were always on the minds of the people. They are 'Why did Poison Douluo become so strong? How could Sword Douluo be able to forcefully contend against grand worship.'
It's a pity that they haven't gone to Heaven Dou City recently, and Qian Renxue also forgot to send them a message.
Otherwise, they would have cancelled the entire operation.
"According to the ancient records in the Spirit Hall, there are two terrifying soul beast overlords in the depths of the Star Dou Forest, both of which have existed for at least 100,000 years. We should be more cautious."
"Haha, old ghost, you are too cautious, let alone one hundred thousand years even if there are two hundred thousand years of soul beasts we can stand our ground. If we can't defeat them together, escaping from them is easy for us, right?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't care about the beasts. The two of them worked together for a long time, although their lethality is not very strong, their control is absolutely unique.
"I think it's better to be more cautious. I don't know why but my eyelids are jumping wildly."
"Left eye jumps for money, right eye jumps for disaster, this is a good thing."
"But the one that jumped is my right eye."
"Then I was wrong just now, because the left eye jumped from disaster, and the right eye jumped from wealth."
Ghost Douluo: "...you really have a mouth, so it's all on you."
But no matter what, here they come. He wouldn't be reconciled if he didn't check it out.
However on their wat the journey went surprisingly well.
To be honest, they came to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest for the first time.
But this is a bit different from the forbidden place that makes people talk about it.
"What's the matter with this house? What about the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Great Ape?"
Ghost Douluo was puzzled. The bad premonition didn't dissipate because of the peace in front of him, it became more intense.
I'm so upset.
"Let me see, maybe they died under the thunder tribulation. After all, there are no records related to them for thousands of years."
"Then how do you explain this house?"
"Who doesn't have any hobbies nowadays? Maybe some soul beast did it?"
"It's all here, and the answer is right in front of our eyes. I want in to find out and understand everything."
As Chrysanthemum Douluo said, he summoned his martial soul. He is still very cautious.
But they didn't have to wait for the too long as there was a sound of friction in the courtyard.
"No, there is movement in there."
Ghost Douluo's heart sank, and he summoned his martial soul. Suddenly, his whole person became shadowy.
However, what surprised them both was that suddenly a gap opened next to the gate, and that gap turned out to be a dog hole.
After a while, a...big red dog appeared?
Nima, I was scared to death...The two looked at each other, and both felt a little relaxed.
At this moment, the dog's bright red eyes swept across them at the same time.
The contempt in its eyes was not concealed at all.
"It seems I am being looked down by a dog."
Ghost Douluo smiled.
"Dog, don't get in our way while playing."
Chrysanthemum Douluo shot a spirit power casually.
Normally, with such a blow, even if this dog is as strong as a calf, it will inevitably be driven into the air.
However, that terrifying spirit power dissipated before it could come into contact with the big red dog.
How could this be?
Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback first. He immediately became vigilant.
If you look at it this way according to the environment, it can be a weird soul beast.
He pinched his right index finger and thumb, and a petal appeared between his fingers.
Obviously, the next blow is bound to kill the opponent.
But at this moment, the dog actually laughed. "This king heard that you are looking for the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python? That idiot Titan Giant Ape is accompanying the master to relax..."
Then it stood up and knocked lightly on the door panel. " Azure Bull python come out to pick up your guests."
This, I heard it right, right? and is this dog talking right now?
And what does it say? Are you summoning the Azure Bull Python?
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were immediately dumbfounded.
The next moment, there was a loud roar resounding through the Star Dou Forest.
The terrifying coercion made their souls tremble!
"Moo..."
A cyan light shot out from the courtyard.
At first, it was only a foot long, but when it was in the air, that small spot of light expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge figure of several hundred meters long, entrenched in the air.
They saw that this huge soul beast, with its horns on its head, its abdomen and claws, looked almost the same as the dragon they knew.
Majestic, mysterious, powerful...all adjectives can't be overstated on it.
"This is the Azure Bull Python? I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Well, it's not too late to take back the words from before, right?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo glanced at each other and found fear in each other's eyes.
With this terrifying coercion, let alone fight. Just a look from that makes them feel scared. They can't afford to fight with it at all.
They can swear that this is definitely not the strength that a hundred thousand years or two hundred thousand soul beasts can possess.
What unknown things has this soul beast overlord experienced?
It's terrible.
And that dog, why does it look so serious...
"Hehe, do you really think that the Star Dou Forest is a place where humans can come and go as they please?"
The Azure bull python was definitely taken astray by the words of the Red King, and as soon as he said it, the corner of his mouth also showed a slanted smile like a red king.
Good, my master is not at home, I can finally stretch my body.
"Old ghost!"
"Understood! Two-pole static domain!"
After Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted, Ghost Douluo understood it in seconds.
The two stood back to back and their soul power surged, their martial soul blended together and suddenly, there was a huge halo spreading with them as the centre.
In an instant, the wind stopped, the clouds stopped, and everything was silent.
Everything that shouldn't be static is static, but what should be static is not static.
The Azure Bull Python obviously felt the power of a domain coming.
If it really had a cultivation base of 200,000 years, it will definitely be controlled.
However, it has been with Lin Yan for nearly a thousand years, and its true cultivation base is more than 200,000 years old. Moreover, under the increase of True Dragon Precious Art, its power is increased by many levels higher.
Everyone saw its huge and unmatched body slowly twisting, and countless shining runes lit up on it.
Then they heard a sound, a crisp sound of 'click, click'.
Then, the sky was broken like a mirror.
This..he didn't use any soul skills, with just pure strength he broke our fusion skills?
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo faces showed horror. They can't control it, and it's hard to run away.
Before, they thought they could come and go easily without talking about walking sideways here.
Thinking about it now, he really wanted to slap himself twice. I was too shallow!
Now they know how outrageous they were.
Ghost Douluo also screamed in his heart: I just said that my eyelids are twitching!
However, while they were dazed, a huge tail rippled the space and moved towards the two of them.
Needless to say, this is going to be a showdown, and two level 95 Title Douluos will be turned into mud.
It's so cold.
Rather than resist, they might as well just wait for death.
But the next moment, a terrifying force suddenly erupted, knocking them to a kilometer away.
Although the two were astonished, they seized the opportunity and fled quickly.
Until the two disappeared in the sky. Azure Bull python asked in a puzzled way: "Red King, what do you mean?"
"Of course it's for the owner's sake. He has been silent for a thousand years. Haven't you found that the interaction between the owner and people has become more active recently?"
"It seems that if someone comes to the door, he will be very happy. As mature pets, we have to learn to create happiness for the owner. These two humans are not weak anymore. Only by letting them go back can they attract more powerful fish, which is interesting. The master always tells us, you have to put a long line to catch big fish."
That's it, it's better to let the master simmer it.
The Azure Bull python suddenly disappeared from the sky.
On the basis of licking and on how to please the owner, it is more than ten streets away from the Red King.

SAVE THE ELEPHANT DAY
____________________________________________
Elephants are known as the most enormous land animal and a surprisingly gentle giant in the animal kingdom. Emotional, intelligent and beautiful in the wild, sadly elephant populations have been rapidly decreasing due to various threats, perhaps most significantly poaching.
Save The Elephant Day aims to change this alarming trend by educating people about elephants and the plights they face, encouraging everyone to do their bit and help save them from extinction.
There are currently three species of elephant spread across Africa and Asia: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant and the Asian elephant. Characterized by their enormous size and highly adept trunks, these creatures are intelligent, social and largely gentle giants. They've been shown to display a range of emotions such as joy, anger and grief and live in complex social structures – matriarchal herds for the female cows and calves and a solitary lifestyle or bachelor herds for the male bulls.
Elephants are highly communicative animals, producing various noises including infrasonic, creating seismic vibrations over long distances and greeting each other through touch. Their impressive trunks provide them with an excellent sense of smell, a handy snorkel when swimming and even a delicate nutcracker.
Elephants are what is known as a keystone species due to their effect on their environment and the flora and fauna around them. Their size and strength allow them to shape the habitats they live in, for example by digging new watering holes. They are also vital for spreading seeds, facilitating the reproduction of various plant and tree species.
They have also long been valued in human culture, admired for their wisdom, strength and sociable natures. They have commonly featured in architecture, whether engravings on cave walls, sculptures in Buddhist temples or stone carvings on Gothic churches. They have also been revered in various world religions, believed to house the souls of ancestors and linked with thunder and lightning, for example. Perhaps the best-known example is the Hindu god Ganesha, who is depicted as having the head of an elephant.
Elephants are frequently used as working animals in Asia, with people drawing on their incredible strength to carry heavy loads in construction projects or provide a mode of transport. In ancient times they were even used in various wars.
Yet despite our affinity with and indebtedness to these amazing animals, our treatment of them has sadly led to a decline in numbers and a proliferation of abused and exploited elephants. The main culprit in population decline is the ivory trade – although it has largely been banned since the late 1980s, illegal poaching continues to this day, with one African elephant killed every 30 minutes for its tusks.
Other threats to the elephant include habitat loss and fragmentation, usually caused by increased urbanization, and conflicts with humans over crops. There are also numerous instances of maltreated and neglected elephants in captivity, for example those used in circuses or as tourist attractions.
Sadly, African bush elephants and Asian elephants are both listed as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), while African forest elephants are classed as critically endangered, with their population rapidly declining.
While these facts are certainly sobering, all hope is not lost! Various organizations are working hard to increase the number of wild elephants and to rehabilitate those rescued from unpleasant circumstances. And real change is possible – lobbying efforts recently induced China, previously the biggest ivory market globally, to ban the trade in 2018, helping reduce the threat to elephants.
To celebrate Save The Elephant Day, people learn about the awesome elephant and make an effort to improve the worrying statistics regarding their numbers by donating to conservation organizations. Together we can work to protect these precious creatures, and that's what Save The Elephant Day is all about!
