Chapter 90: Arrival in the Star Dou Great Forest
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Shi Lin was busy training his physical fitness and familiarizing himself with the use of the Small Empty Blade Gu almost every day.
Today, the group finally arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This town is clearly more prosperous and larger than the towns outside the Soul Hunting Forest.
But…
Flanders led the convoy directly around the Soul Master Town and entered the Star Dou Great Forest through an entrance.
The cost of living in Soul Master Town is indeed quite high, and Flanders really doesn't want to bear the expense.
Shi Lin was once again shocked by Flanders's stinginess.
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Flanders and his companions changed from their previous relaxed demeanor, and everyone became serious.
"Our target this time is a 300-year-old fire-attribute soul beast, which is mostly located near the volcanoes on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. From our current location, we should be able to reach it in about a day if we head east," Flanders said, nodding to the people in front of him.
The others nodded in agreement with Flanders.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao An, Hongjun, Oscar, this is your first time entering the Star Dou Great Forest. It is many times more dangerous than the Soul Hunting Forest, so you must be careful and cautious, understand?" Flanders turned to Shi Lin and the other three and earnestly instructed them.
"Don't worry, teacher, we'll be careful," Ma Hongjun patted his chest and assured Flanders.
Shi Lin nodded seriously.
The Star Dou Great Forest and the Soul Hunting Forest are different.
The number of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest is simply too large. Even if a lot of them are killed, as long as it's not a large-scale massacre, no one will care.
Therefore, Shi Lin can obtain a large amount of soul beast materials here, which will allow him to increase the variety of Gu worms in his Gu worm storehouse.
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Flanders nodded, hoping that nothing unusual would happen during this hunt for soul beasts.
Flanders glanced in the direction he was heading, then took the lead and headed towards the volcano where the fire-attribute soul beast was located.
The others followed closely behind, with Zhao Wuji personally bringing up the rear of the group.
The group carefully traversed the Star Dou Great Forest.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Shi Lin encountered a greater variety of soul beasts than in the Soul Hunting Forest, and these soul beasts were even more aggressive.
However, Shi Lin didn't bother with those soul beasts for now. After setting up camp for the night, he planned to capture some insect-type soul beasts nearby. After all, he had already used up most of the materials he had, and he needed to replenish his inventory.
They entered the Star Dou Great Forest in the morning and didn't arrive until the sun was setting, when they finally reached the vicinity of the volcano within the forest.
"Old Zhao, take some men and clear away the fallen leaves. We'll set up camp here for today," Flanders said, turning to Zhao Wuji.
"Yes, boss!" Zhao Wuji did not hesitate at all. He took out tools from his soul tool and, together with the other teachers, began to clean up the fallen leaves on the ground and set up tents.
Shi Lin and the others also went to help.
Flanders, on the other hand, left the camp directly and began searching for a suitable soul beast for Ma Hongjun in the vicinity.
While clearing away the fallen leaves, Shi Lin examined the soul beasts hidden beneath them.
Sure enough, there were quite a few soul beast-type insects under these leaves and stones.
However, the insects' cultivation level was too low. Shi Lin easily caught them and threw them directly into the Divine Wood King Cauldron, stunning them before refining them into Gu worms.
Half an hour later, the campsite was basically set up, and the group sat in the tent and began to eat their dry rations.
"Teacher Zhao, I have some cooked food here, could you take some out to eat?" Shi Lin came up to Zhao Wuji, scratched his head, and asked.
"Of course…it won't work." Zhao Wuji smiled brightly as he looked at Shi Lin.
What Zhao Wuji didn't know was that his smile was even uglier than a cry.
"In the Soul Beast Forest, many kinds of soul beasts have an exceptionally keen sense of smell, capable of detecting scents from dozens of kilometers away. Therefore, dry rations are the best food in the Star Dou Great Forest," Zhao Wuji said to Shi Lin with a smile.
Shi Lin nodded, agreeing with Zhao Wuji's point. He took out some dry rations from his personal space and ate them with cold water.
"After you finish eating, get some rest. Tomorrow I'll introduce you little guys to soul beasts," Zhao Wuji said with a hearty laugh to the children in front of him.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhao!" Shi Lin said to Zhao Wuji with a smile, then found a corner to continue eating his dry rations.
Shi Lin quickly finished a piece of dry rations, patted the crumbs off his hands, and went to the vicinity of the tent to start digging for various soul beasts and insects.
When Shi An saw his young master digging for insects, he immediately ran over to help Shi Lin dig for insects.
In the evening, Flanders flew back to the camp.
At this moment, everyone was still in a state of cultivation.
Upon hearing Flanders's voice, everyone broke out of their meditation and came before him.
"Boss, have you found a suitable soul beast?" Zhao Wuji asked Flanders.
"Found it, a three-hundred-year-old Flame Crane. Its bloodline and talent are quite impressive, making it perfectly suitable as Hongjun's first soul ring." Flanders's face was filled with satisfaction.
Upon hearing that Flanders had found a suitable soul beast for him, Ma Hongjun's face was filled with joy.
"That's wonderful, teacher! Thank you so much, teacher!" Ma Hongjun jumped up and down with excitement.
Zhao Wuji and the other teachers also gave Flanders a bright smile.
Now that a suitable soul beast has been found, they should go and capture it first thing tomorrow morning. After Ma Hongjun absorbs the soul ring, he can leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although Zhao Wuji was a powerful Soul Saint, he was still worried about something happening to his group, especially since there were four little ones among them.
After hearing Flanders's words, Shi Lin showed a helpless expression.
It seems my plan to collect more soul beast corpses is going to fall through.
However, the Star Dou Great Forest was far too dangerous, so Shi Lin felt that if he could leave as soon as possible, it would be best to do so.
"Alright, go back and rest. Get some rest. You need to absorb your soul ring first thing tomorrow morning, and you can't do it without energy." Flanders smiled and patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder before saying this.
"Yes, Dean Flanders." Shi Lin and the others replied with a smile, then took Ma Hongjun to a corner in the tent and went to sleep.
