"Get out~" A resentful roar suddenly sounded outside the Star Dou Great Forest, startling a large number of birds that were chirping.
Tang San and the others paused at the same time and looked back, but the woods were too dense and they had walked quite a distance, so they could not see anything.
"It's Dean Flanders' voice. What happened? The dean seems very angry," Ma Hongjun frowned.
"Maybe we encountered some blind soul beasts. Don't worry about them. We won't die anyway. Let's keep moving forward." Dai Mubai continued to clear the way and greeted everyone without looking back.
"Yeah." The other seven monsters nodded and continued to move forward. They had to go to the central area of the Star Dou Great Forest. The journey was not short, so they had to speed up.
After all, although you can occasionally encounter thousand-year soul beasts in the outer areas, it's hard to say whether they are suitable for Oscar. The central area is different. There are not thousands of thousand-year soul beasts everywhere, but there are not a few. At least there are no low-level soul beasts in the central area, which gives Oscar more options for his third soul ring.
About a few hundred meters away from the Seven Monsters, Ye Zhiqiu was with Flanders Zhao Wuji. Flanders was now spitting foul language at Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji's strong body shrank like a little girl who was stopped and teased, with an expression that said, "I know I'm wrong."
Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. Zhao Wuji shouldn't be much worse than Flanders in terms of combat prowess, right? And yet, when Flanders pointed his finger at him and scolded him, he didn't even dare to fart? He acted like a good kid?
What's going on with these two?
"Okay, you guys stop arguing. I'm leaving first. Xiaosan and the others are far away. It would be bad if something happens. I'll go first." Ye Zhiqiu scratched his head in confusion, turned around and jumped onto a tree that was more than 20 meters high. In the next jump, he fell into the dense branches and leaves and disappeared.
After Ye Zhiqiu disappeared from their sight, Flanders and Zhao Wuji immediately returned to their original expressions as if their faces had changed.
"Boss Fu, what do you think of my performance?" Zhao Wuji said with a chuckle and a proud look on his face.
Flanders raised the corner of his mouth, "Not bad, much better than before."
"Hehe." Zhao Wuji stretched out a hand and scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. He straightened his face and whispered, "Qiu kid said he wanted to hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Should we really go?"
Flender rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Don't drag me along if you want to die. Let alone a 100,000-year-old soul beast, we might not be able to defeat one that's 80,000 or 90,000 years old even if we join forces. You still want to cause trouble for a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Are you drunk on shit? Besides, even if that kid has a 100,000-year soul ring, it was obtained through sacrifice. Soul rings obtained through hunting are different from those obtained through sacrifice. Even if he were to be given a 100,000-year soul ring, there's no guarantee he would be able to absorb it safely."
"That's right. Shouldn't we help Qiu? We're doing this for his own good, right?"
"Let's talk about it later. We'll just have to wait and see."
Elsewhere, Tang San and his companions encountered the first group of spirit beasts they had encountered since entering the Star Dou Great Forest. These spirit beasts looked somewhat like the groundhogs Ye Zhiqiu had seen in his previous life, only a bit larger, and their calls were probably much louder.
Tang San was the first to discover this group of soul beasts. Judging from their size, they were probably about ten to twenty years old and posed no threat.
When Tang San and his companions discovered this group of groundhogs, the groundhogs also discovered them. However, they did not show any aggression and it seemed that they were not very interested in the people from Shrek Academy.
Tang San called out to Dai Mubai who wanted to continue moving forward and pointed to the side. Dai Mubai immediately understood and nodded slightly, then continued to cut through the thorns to the side to open up a path.
After bypassing the group of groundhogs, Dai Mubai whispered, "Those groundhogs don't seem very strong. Why should we avoid them? Wouldn't it be better to just kill them all?"
Tang San shook his head and denied it, "Your idea is wrong. These groundhogs are indeed not strong, and it doesn't take much effort to kill them. But if all spirit masters act like this, will there be spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest in the future? Moreover, the calls of groundhogs are terrifying and can be heard from a great distance. Moreover, if there are so many of them, if they call together, it will not only be irritating, but it will also easily attract a large number of other spirit beasts."
After hearing Tang San's explanation, the other members of the Seven Devils nodded silently, indicating that they had learned it. Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled even more as she looked at Tang San.
Above the heads of the few people, Ye Zhiqiu leaned against a tree branch more than 10 to 20 meters high, restraining his breath. After hearing Tang San's words, he also smiled.
He deeply agreed with Tang San's approach. Although Ye Zhiqiu had not read the later parts of Douluo Dalu, he knew the awkward situations between humans and soul beasts in the later parts.
Soul beasts were killed in large numbers by humans, and their numbers plummeted. Humans were once in an awkward situation where they had no soul rings available.
Since he has come to Douluo Continent, he is a part of Douluo Continent. This is naturally a scene that Ye Zhiqiu does not want to see. If possible, Ye Zhiqiu even wants to do something, such as using the power of the Spirit Hall to issue some bans. Of course, this is all matter for the future.
The Star Dou Great Forest is very large. The small team was led by Dai Mubai and kept going all the way. When the sun was at its highest point in the sky, they barely reached the central outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Along the way, Tang San and his team also drove away many soul beasts that were looking for trouble. Ye Zhiqiu never took any action and just followed silently.
"Rest here and eat something. We will reach the center of the Star Dou Great Forest if we continue walking. We need to keep our strength to be prepared for any eventuality." Dai Mubai waved his hand to stop everyone. After cleaning up the surroundings a little, he sat down against a big tree.
After Tang San took out some food and water from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night and gave it to everyone, he also sat down next to Xiao Wu to recover his strength.
Although the group of people seemed to be resting, their eyes were still sharp and they were always observing their surroundings. Soul beasts could suddenly appear in the Star Dou Great Forest at any time, so they had to be on guard.
There were several times before when they were ambushed by soul beasts, but fortunately those soul beasts were relatively weak, so no one was injured.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu's voice came down from above their heads, "Your performance this morning was barely acceptable."
As the words fell, Ye Zhiqiu jumped down from the tree and stood in front of the few people with a faint smile.
The tense nerves in the hearts of Dai Mubai, Tang San and the others suddenly relaxed with the appearance of Ye Zhiqiu.
They had been alert to their surroundings all morning, highly focused, and were already very tired. At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly appeared, and the group of people suddenly felt like they had a backbone. They relaxed their minds, but also felt a sense of mental exhaustion.
"You can close your eyes for a while and stay energetic. I'll take care of the alert." Ye Zhiqiu gave an order and walked towards Ning Rongrong, who was leaning against a big tree, rubbing her legs and looking at him with a silly smile.
This girl, doesn't she know that if she giggles while eating something, she will look like a real fool?
