Chapter 27 Weight
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Wuji also used his loud voice to wake up the people who were still asleep, especially Ning Rongrong and Oscar. For auxiliary soul masters, they were just like Shi Yi, who was a worker in his previous life. Getting up early was an extremely painful thing for them. So much so that when they were eating breakfast, the two were still in a hazy state.
During breakfast, Ma Hongjun seemed to have forgotten the conflict with Shi Yi because he didn't eat last night, and he ate heartily, while Dai Mubai put the food into his mouth one spoonful at a time with a gloomy face. As for the others, they acted quite calmly, as if nothing happened yesterday.
Soon, everyone swept away their breakfast and left the town. Under the leadership of Zhao Wuji, they accelerated forward. This place was very close to the Xingdou Great Forest. At this time, Oscar's face was also quite excited. He was also looking forward to what kind of soul skills his third soul ring could bring him.
Shi Yi was also looking forward to the appearance of the human-faced demon spider.
Soon they entered the forest. The tall trees were at least more than 20 meters high. This was only the outermost part. There was no path in the dense forest. The shadows of the trees were so thick that the real scene could not be seen.
When they arrived in front of the forest, the air became more comfortable, as if the temperature had dropped a few degrees. The refreshing feeling with the fragrance of moist soil constantly stimulated everyone's sense of smell.
Tang San looked at Shi Yi with some doubt and said, "Brother, aren't you going to summon Little Ant?"
Shi Yi shook his head slightly, and said meaningfully, "As an auxiliary soul master of the food system, Oscar can absorb soul beasts with extremely distinctive characteristics as long as they are of the right age. Although Little Ant has the ability to explore the jungle, Little Ao does not have a clear goal, so there is no need to look for it specially. Little San, sometimes what you choose may not be more suitable than what you meet, not to mention that it is chosen by others."
Hearing this, Tang San nodded slightly, while Dai Mubai snorted disdainfully and said, "Mystifying."
Shi Yi did not care about Dai Mubai's words, but instead set his eyes on Zhu Zhuqing and chuckled, "Zhuqing, do you think I'm right?"
Listening to Shi Yi's double-entendre words, Zhu Zhuqing nodded without hesitation. For so many days, Dai Mubai had left a very bad impression on her: arrogance, inferiority, indulgence, and depravity. She even doubted whether it was a wrong choice to risk her life to come here.
"You..." Even if Dai Mubai was dumb, he still understood Shi Yi's meaning. Dai Mubai was furious, but he couldn't organize words to refute Shi Yi in his mind, so he chose the way he was best at.
At the moment when Dai Mubai's body was covered with white light, Zhao Wuji instantly burst out with a more powerful momentum, easily dispersing Dai Mubai's soul power.
"Xiaobai, did I give you face?" Zhao Wuji stared at Dai Mubai and said lightly.
"Teacher Zhao..." Dai Mubai's face was ugly, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Dai Mubai didn't speak, Zhao Wuji's eyes fell on Shi Yi and said unhappily: "You also shut up."
Shi Yi smiled and nodded.
Zhao Wuji felt that the situation was quite difficult. He looked at Dai Mubai with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He secretly said in his heart, "Why did you hire him? The things in your head can't even write a normal article, and you still quarrel with others. If I'm not here, you can still punish him with your fists. If I'm here, isn't it like roasting me on the fire? However, this kid is not a pushover. He always leaves a backdoor for what he says. If I'm not here, he probably won't ask this kitten this question."
At this time, Zhao Wuji also cursed Flanders in his heart. Not only did he let people go through the backdoor, but it was still a big trouble.
To be fair, Zhao Wuji is a very protective person. Dai Mubai has been with him for a longer time. In fact, he is more inclined to Dai Mubai in his heart. If someone is like Shi Yi, he will not be able to help but take action if he pokes his heart like this. He can't control what happens in private, but he has to be a good teacher in front of these children now.
"I'll tell you little bastards first, no matter what grudges you have in private, you can go back and solve any problems, or you can go to the Great Soul Arena on your own. Now behave yourself in front of me, Old Zhao. Do you understand?" Zhao Wuji said loudly to everyone.
"Understood." Everyone responded quickly.
Zhao Wuji looked around and saw that everyone in front of him was ready, so he waved his hand and said, "Keep going!"
This time, Zhao Wuji used a very simple and crude method, which was to separate the two. In order to separate Dai Mubai and Shi Yi, Zhao Wuji let Dai Mubai and Tang San walk in front together, and he personally led Shi Yi to walk at the back of the team.
After entering the Xingdou Great Forest, Xiao Wu was the most excited. She didn't seem to think it was a dangerous place at all. She jumped up and down, and was indescribably happy. Zhao Wuji frowned, but Xiao Wu didn't exceed his limit, so he didn't say much.
The terrain in the Xingdou Great Forest is very complex, and there is no road in the forest. The task of clearing the way naturally fell on Dai Mubai and Tang San.
The martial spirits of the two are also very suitable for this task. The sharp blade on Dai Mubai's tiger palm bounced off, and while waving his palms, accompanied by Tang San's blue silver grass leaves, he cut the thorns in the way forward, which did not affect everyone's speed at all.
The group walked forward for about an hour, and it was already noon.
During this hour, they also encountered many soul beasts, but most of them were ten or a hundred years old. When they encountered soul beasts, they mostly avoided them and did not directly conflict with them. Occasionally, some blind souls came up to die. Dai Mubai's tiger palm solved the problem directly as if venting, and his palms and sleeves were full of scarlet.
Xiao Wu frowned as she vented her anger all the way. After Dai Mubai killed a ten-year-old spirit rabbit, Xiao Wu finally couldn't help it and started to speak out, "Isn't it just that you got beaten up by that bitch? Why are you bullying these weak spirit beasts? No wonder Zhu Qing doesn't like you."
Everyone looked at Xiao Wu in surprise. Tang San secretly said in his heart that it was not good. Shi Yi looked at Xiao Wu with interest. He naturally understood why Xiao Wu would be angry with Dai Mubai. Even Ning Rongrong, who had suffered at the hands of Dai Mubai, admired Xiao Wu's courage.
At this time, Dai Mubai looked at Xiao Wu with a cold light in his eyes. This time, he did not act impulsively but set his eyes on Zhao Wuji. Tang San also quickly pulled Xiao Wu behind him.
Zhao Wuji also frowned at this time, looking at Xiao Wu and Tang San, exuding the aura of a Soul Saint, and said lightly: "Didn't I say to be more obedient? Are you challenging my authority?"
"It's because he keeps killing those weak soul beasts." Xiao Wu also realized something at this time, and said with a lack of confidence.
"Xiao Bai is clearing the way, what does this have to do with you?" Zhao Wuji said lightly to Xiao Wu.
Tang San has Tang Hao as his backer and he can't deal with him. As a Soul Saint, can't he control this little bastard?
"Xiao Wu, stop talking, and apologize to Teacher Zhao and Mu Bai." Tang San said to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu curled her lips and said, "I'm sorry."
Seeing Xiao Wu's reluctant look, Zhao Wuji said lightly: "Keep apologizing until Xiao Bai is satisfied."
Tang San's face changed after hearing this, and there was no more respect in his words. "Teacher Zhao, Xiao Wu also apologized. Isn't this a bit too much?"
Zhao Wuji deeply understood what Shi Yi said to him in the morning. Obviously, in Tang San's heart, he, as a teacher, was not as important as this little girl.
Zhao Wuji's face also changed, and the seven spirit rings slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Boy, this matter has nothing to do with you. Is it difficult to ask this little girl to apologize to others? Or do you think that I, a Soul Saint, am easy to bully? Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?" Zhao Wuji said to Tang San indifferently.
Tang San's face was also solemn at this time. He looked at Zhao Wuji and said nothing, but summoned his martial spirit.
"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Zhao Wuji said indifferently.
While speaking, Zhao Wuji's fifth soul ring lit up instantly, and Tang San was instantly squeezed by the strong gravity, without any room to move. A trace of pain appeared on his originally calm face.
"I was just playing with you before, and you thought you could really withstand the fifth soul skill of the Soul Saint, little bastard, I'll say it again, apologize to Xiaobai." Zhao Wuji slowly walked around Tang San and said indifferently to Xiaowu.
"Xiao San!" Seeing Tang San's appearance, Xiao Wu hurriedly said to Dai Mubai: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao."
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong and others were a little reluctant. Dai Mubai didn't say anything. Zhao Wuji saw that it was almost done, so he dispersed his soul power. Tang San couldn't help but fall to the ground and gasp for breath. Seeing this, Xiao Wu hurriedly helped Tang San up.
Looking at Tang San's appearance, Xiao Wu's eyes flashed with a trace of resentment, but she didn't dare to show it.
Tang San was gasping for breath at this time, looking at Zhao Wuji with gloomy eyes, but didn't say anything. He knew very well that he was still too weak now.
As a senior brother, Shi Yi looked at this scene and didn't say anything, because he knew very well that with Xiao Wu's mouth, something would happen sooner or later. He never cared about Xiao Wu's insults not because he had a good temper or was timid, but because he wanted Xiao Wu to develop this habit, develop this habit of being given in, so that sooner or later she would meet someone like Zhao Wuji who didn't spoil her.
"Listen to me, if anyone makes trouble again, get out of Shrek and rest here!" Zhao Wuji said to everyone indifferently.
At this time, Shi Yi took out some drinking water that he carried with him, and handed it to Zhao Wuji with a smile, as if to say to Zhao Wuji, I am right.
Zhao Wuji took the water bag and glared at Shi Yi unhappily. Even he had to admit that Shi Yi was indeed very accurate in judging people.
Then Shi Yi took out a few steamed buns left in the morning, warmed them with soul power, and ate them with Oscar's sausage.
Just when everyone rested for about half an hour, suddenly, Zhao Wuji's eyes looked in one direction.
Zhao Wuji shouted loudly: "Everyone get up, something is approaching at high speed."
At the first moment, everyone released their martial spirits, including Zhao Wuji.
The rustling sound grew from small to large, and even Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who were auxiliary soul masters, could clearly feel how fast the unknown creature was approaching.
"Zhu Zhuqing, see what it is." Zhao Wuji ordered in a deep voice.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything, but quietly rose up, with sharp claws on her hands, and quickly climbed up a big tree next to her as if
walking on flat ground, and looked in the direction of the sound. Soon, Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice came from the tree, "It seems to be a flying snake, but it can't fly high, and can only fly forward about three meters above the ground. It has a fleshy crown on its head, which looks bigger than its head and is bright red like blood. The tail is quite special, fan-shaped."
Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, "It's a Phoenix Tail Cockatiel. This kind of soul beast is quite rare. The fleshy crown on its head has many wonderful uses. Oscar, you are blessed. It's a pity that I don't know how old this Phoenix Tail Cockatiel is. Zhu Zhuqing, keep an eye on the direction it is moving, and report to me immediately if there is any change."
"Yes. It's coming towards us at a very fast speed, but it seems that it has some difficulty in maintaining balance."
After what happened just now, Tang San naturally started paddling in the water. Although Shi Yi understood that this Phoenix Tail Cockatoo was suitable for Oscar, he still asked Zhu Zhuqing: "How long is this Phoenix Tail Cockatoo, and what color are its wings?"
Zhu Zhuqing said: "The wings are light red, and the length is about between six and eight meters."
Shi Yi read from the script and said lightly: "This is a thousand-year-old Phoenix Tail Cockatoo. The light red wings are a sign of its thousand years of evolution. Judging from its body length, it is six to eight meters, and it should have been cultivated for between 1,300 and 1,800 years. Oscar, it's just right for you." "
Really? But what are the characteristics of this soul beast? Could it be the fleshy crown that Teacher Zhao mentioned?" Oscar asked Shi Yi.
Shi Yi smiled and said, "Have you seen many snakes flying? If I guess correctly, this spirit ring can give you the ability to fly."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shi Yi in surprise. Oscar's eyes were also full of excitement. His peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up. "Xiao Yi, you are the encyclopedia of the martial spirit world. Awesome, really awesome."
"Impossible! It is difficult for a martial spirit without the ability to fly to gain the ability to fly. Among auxiliary spirit masters, the skill of flying at least appears on the sixth spirit skill. How can Oscar's third ring gain the ability to fly?" Ning Rongrong said to Shi Yi.
"Although food-type spirit masters belong to the category of auxiliary spirit masters, they are completely different from normal auxiliary spirit masters. Normally, auxiliary spirits have their own characteristics, just like the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. No matter what spirit ring is attached, the flying skill will not appear, because this is determined by the characteristics of the martial spirit, but food-type spirit masters are different. After absorbing spirit rings, food-type spirit masters often absorb the characteristics of spirit beasts to form abilities, and flying is the biggest characteristic of this snake." Shi Yi explained lightly.
"What if Oscar doesn't get the flight?" Ning Rongrong asked Shi Yi.
"I can only give advice. As for how to choose, it's up to Oscar himself." Shi Yi said lightly.
"I believe Xiao Yi." Oscar said softly to Shi Yi.
Hearing a man say this, Shi Yi felt uncomfortable. Looking at Oscar, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his face and moved away with disdain.
Oscar seemed to understand what Shi Yi meant. A trace of discomfort flashed in his peach blossom eyes, and he also moved away with disdain.
"Stop talking nonsense, here I come!"
