At the entrance of the Star Dou Great Forest, the group did not immediately enter but temporarily stopped.
As the lead teacher, Yun Chuan needed, as usual, to explain some situations in advance. He looked at the seven students in front of him and said: "The Star Dou Great Forest is not a place where soul beasts are raised by the state. The soul beasts here are extremely dangerous; you could face attacks from thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year-level soul beasts at any time. Therefore, after entering the forest, no one is to be more than twenty meters away from me. Without my orders, no one may lightly attack a soul beast. Understood?"
"Understood."
Oscar quickly chanted a spell, and in a short while, he had produced a large batch of sausages and cured sausages. He handed each person one sausage and one cured sausage, saying: "My sausages maintain vitality in the air for twelve hours, meaning they will be effective if eaten within twelve hours. The sausages provide healing and also satisfy hunger; the cured sausages mainly serve to detoxify."
Everyone carefully accepted them and stowed them on their person. They understood that Oscar was giving them these in advance in case a crisis arose and there was no time to hand them out. Continuous release of soul power made Oscar's face a little pale, though fortunately, his beard hid it somewhat.
"Since everyone is ready, let's set off!" Yun Chuan waved his hand, letting Dai Mubai and Tang San walk at the front, while he personally brought up the rear, taking the first step into the Star Dou Great Forest.
After entering the forest, the most excited was Xiao Wu. She seemed completely unaware that this was a dangerous place, hopping and skipping, clearly happy. Yun Chuan knew this was because she had returned home—after all, she had been a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast who had taken human form. The Star Dou Great Forest was like her home, so she naturally showed no sense of crisis.
The terrain of the Star Dou Great Forest was extremely complex; there were no paths. Naturally, the task of clearing a path fell to Dai Mubai. Yun Chuan could control the plants to make a path, but he was too lazy to do so. He was the lead teacher, not a nanny for this group.
Using Martial Soul Possession, Dai Mubai's tiger palms with blades pushed aside the thorns, swinging his palms to cut through the brambles ahead, without slowing the group down at all.
Tang San followed closely behind Dai Mubai, enhancing his vision and hearing to their maximum, carefully observing the surroundings. The others were similar, all alert.
Yun Chuan actually wanted to tell them: "You don't need to be so tense. As long as I'm here, no one in this forest can harm you."
But he thought better of it, feeling it was a form of training, so he said nothing, letting them stay tense. After this expedition, he planned to leave anyway.
After all, staying at Shrek Academy wouldn't help his strength much. He had come purely to meet the original characters, and perhaps boost some favor with the female characters. Now that his purpose was largely achieved, and two rivals had been removed, he could leave safely.
After traveling for about an hour, it was already noon. During this hour, they had encountered many soul beasts, mostly ten- or hundred-year ones. When encountering them, they mostly avoided direct conflict. Occasionally, a reckless beast came to die, and Dai Mubai's tiger palms swiftly handled the threat.
"Alright, everyone, let's take a short rest." Yun Chuan's voice allowed the group, who had been tense, to relax. Dai Mubai cleared the surrounding thorns, creating an open area of nearly a hundred square meters.
The group leaned against trees and rested.
Oscar naturally offered his sausages again. At this point, no one cared much about taste—they ate the sausages and drank water they carried, resting for a while.
The area they were in was still the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. High-level soul beasts were rare here, making it relatively safe. Their goal was to help Oscar hunt a suitable thousand-year soul beast, which would require venturing deeper.
The deeper they went, the more dangerous it would become, and the more important it was to rest and prepare in relatively safe areas.
After resting for about half an hour, Yun Chuan suddenly sensed something approaching from a distance. He quickly released the Plant Domain. Within a hundred-mile radius, everything in the domain was clear to him.
Soon, he saw a winged snake approaching, with an old woman and a young girl chasing it from behind.
"This should be the Snake Granny and Meng Yiran, right? Is this plot inertia? Or some sort of correction force, the will of the world?" Yun Chuan wondered, but outwardly stood and said: "Everyone, get up. A soul beast is approaching."
Since it was still far away, Tang San hadn't sensed anything unusual yet. But since Yun Chuan, as their teacher, said a soul beast was coming, no one dared slack off. They all stood, preparing themselves.
"Teacher Tang, what kind of soul beast is coming?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously, leaning on Yun Chuan.
"According to my senses, it should be a Phoenix-Tail Crested Snake, about a thousand to just under two thousand years old, perfect for Oscar." Yun Chuan did not hide anything and spoke directly.
"Phoenix-Tail Crested Snake!" Tang San exclaimed. "This kind of soul beast is extremely rare. The crest on its head has many wondrous effects. Oscar, you're in luck."
"Indeed. If Oscar hunts this soul beast, there's a very high chance it will increase his speed, and might even grant flight." Yun Chuan nodded.
After a short while, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others also sensed the soul beast, tensing their bodies. Looking ahead:
"It's coming."
Finally, accompanied by a rustling sound, a flying snake appeared.
It was a huge snake, about six or seven meters long, with a bright red crest on its head, looking ferocious, and a pair of wings on its back, flying swiftly toward them.
Tang San and the others were about to act, but Yun Chuan stopped them. He had no patience for their childish skirmishes, and the Snake Granny and her granddaughter were almost catching up.
"Come down here!"
To deal with a mere thousand-year soul beast, Yun Chuan didn't even bother using a soul skill. He reached forward, grabbing the air. Instantly, surging soul power flowed out, forming a large blue net that completely captured the flying Phoenix-Tail Crested Snake. He then pulled with force, bringing it down from the sky.
"Bang!"
The snake, wrapped in the soul power net, crashed heavily to the ground.
With such nonchalant ease, a thousand-year soul beast had been captured. Yun Chuan hadn't even used a soul skill—merely forming a net with soul power sufficed.
The inadvertent display of his strength sent chills through the students' hearts.
Tang San finally understood: when he fought Teacher Tang that day, this Teacher Tang had not been serious. The soul skill was only used to tease them. Otherwise, just this exquisite soul power net alone would have trapped them all, leaving no chance to release hidden weapons.
