He hadn’t heard that name again until now. Starwan Tower wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
“Starwan Tower has reached quite far. I didn’t expect to see you people here. Since it’s top secret, I won’t ask any more questions. I’d like to know your thoughts on the Dusk Soul Forest,” Himmel Soan asked.
After all, he held no grudges against Starwan Tower, and there was no need to go after this team. No matter how far they had reached, it wasn’t any of his business. Therefore, he asked them about their opinions on the forest.
“It’s so terrifying that I can hardly breathe!” Rustam seemed horrified.
The other three didn’t seem any better.
“Master, it’s done! We can eat now!” Firey’s voice soothed their terror.
“Shall we talk over dinner?” Himmel Soan nodded at Firey, then asked the four people.
“We’d love to talk to you, Sir, but please don’t let me eat it,” said Rustam.
“It’s just a bear? Why can’t you eat it?” Himmel Soan asked.
He could tell Rustam was holding something back. Maybe these people had different opinions about magical beasts. This was his chance to find some clues!

He immediately regretted saying it. Although he couldn’t tell Himmel Soan or Firey’s cultivation levels, he knew the two of them were very capable.
When somebody like that asks you a question, you just answer!
However, he asked a question instead. One might think he was probing for an answer!
He had said the wrong thing!
“No, I don’t. This is my first time here, so I don’t know how this place is different from the world outside. I was going to investigate, but I heard you guys fighting, so I came here. You know the rest.”
Himmel Soan made up a story. He didn’t need any rehearsal. Those words just came out of his mouth. It was as if that really had happened.
He wanted to see if these people could give him any useful information. After all, he couldn’t tell what was so special about the forest. Sometimes, one needed to look at multiple perspectives before finding an answer.
“I see… Thank you for bearing with my rudeness.
“You ran into us by accident and helped us. We’d like to thank you again for your help.
“There’s no way we can repay what you did for us, so I’m going to tell you everything I know about the Dusk Soul Forest!
“We accumulated this information during our missions, and we hope it can help you.
“Zuxra, the map.”
Zuxra hesitated. They had created this map after losing so many friends, but she had to give it to an outsider now. She wasn’t convinced. It was drawn at the price of their friends’ lives!
This man just walked into the forest and was now going to take their map. She couldn’t believe it!
“Zuxra, what are you doing?” Rustam sounded displeased.
“I just don’t think that’s the right thing to do! We got this map after losing so many friends. I don’t think it’s fair for them if we give the map away.” Zuxra wouldn’t let go of the map. She was ready to fight to her death to guard it.
The other two members stood behind her. They felt the same way.
Rustam’s face darkened. He had made a promise, and he wasn’t going to break it.
“We wouldn’t even be standing here if this gentleman didn’t save us just then. The map means nothing if we’re dead. How can this piece of paper be more important than our lives?!” Rustam was so angry that he started panting.
He couldn’t understand it. They were all on the same team. They had gone through so many things together. How could this be happening now?
The others saw the look on his face.

“This map is built on the lives of so many friends. We can’t just give it to some random guy!
“Even if we have to die, we still don’t think we should give away the map!”
Rustam was in a dilemma. He couldn’t make his friends change their minds, but he didn’t feel right if he kept the map from the master.
He had offered the map to the man already. It was the only valuable thing they had.
“Keep the map. Tell me what happened to you in the Dusk Soul Forest. and the reason you can’t eat the beast.”
Everybody looked at Himmel Soan. They were trying so hard to keep the map, but this man didn’t even want it.
How strange.
Himmel Soan had a reason not to take the map.
Their map probably only showed the outermost layer of the Dusk Soul Forest. They couldn’t have gone deep into it.
On the other hand, he wanted to investigate the entire forest, for which he needed to go to the center. Only there could he find the Dusk Soul Forest’s secret.
Therefore, a map of the outer area was useless to him. With what he had remembered, Himmel Soan already had an overall layout in his head. He remembered all the paths he had traveled and all the places he had scanned with his mental force.
Maybe the map in his head was more detailed than the one these people had.
Moreover, he trusted his own map more.
