Chapter 49 Tang San breaks through!
As they continued to move forward, everyone's physical strength was depleted more and more.
But Oscar's recovery sausages were so effective that they replenished everyone's strength in a timely manner and they were almost always in an energetic state.
Moreover, the problem of his soul curse was solved.
They ate the recovery sausages without any psychological burden.
So...Oscar's soul power is not enough.
At the beginning, Dai Mubai dragged his arm and ran with him for a while, allowing him to try to recover. Later, Xiao Xian opened his eyes and let Xiao Jue carry him forward.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong would occasionally use the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower to give everyone an "Agility Halo". When her soul power was not enough, she would look at Xiao Xian with expectant eyes.
Afterwards, what Xiaojue held in his mouth became her.
She still looked a little pale. The aura from Xiaojue was so fierce, she was simply a real soul beast, one that was thousands of years old.
But... it's relaxing.
She looked at the others who were running with some cunningness.
Tang San also contributed his blue silver sugar cane, but his Xuan Tian Gong was very effective in restoring soul power and did not require much external force.
"..."
The Star Forest is nearly 500 kilometers away from Soto City.
There were nine people in their group, including three auxiliary spirit masters, and Zhao Wuji did not need any assistance among them.
Night had not yet fallen, and there was still some time before the group had already traveled more than 400 kilometers.
Zhao Wuji looked at the sky and decisively gave the order to rest.
If we continue our journey, we will have to spend the night in the Star Forest.
For a group of young soul masters who are exhausted after a day's work, this would be too difficult, so it would be best to go in during the day.
Even if you have to spend the night in there, it will always be safer with the experience of the day as a buffer.
There is a small town ahead.
Zhao Wuji took them in for supplies and rest.
Xiao Xian immediately took back Xiaojue.
He was not familiar with this town, except that Flanders had taken him over it before.
He had some impression.
The town is also very lively. Unlike other places, the shops here are basically all related to soul masters, selling weapons, leather armor, potions, and special clothing. Most of the people coming and going are soul masters, and they have a very powerful aura.
Tang San looked around and chatted with Oscar from time to time. He obviously felt that he had gained new knowledge.
He originally wanted to chat with Xiao Xian.
But Xiao Xian seemed to be thinking about something, so no one disturbed him.
Zhao Wuji took them around and looked around, and saw an ordinary hotel.
"Just stay here and rest for a night. We will set off tomorrow. All expenses will be borne by yourselves."
The hotel is the most common one, with two floors in total, the first floor lobby for dining, and the second floor for accommodation.
Zhao Wuji booked a single room for himself, asked Tang San for a piece of blue silver sugar cane, and while chewing it, he went upstairs and ignored them.
Dai Mubai discussed with everyone and decided to make do with a five-person room for the five boys to live together and a three-person room for the girls.
Xiao Xian shook his head: "I'll also get a single room. Xiaojue needs to practice at night, and the five-person room won't accommodate him."
Dai Mubai could only nod and change the five-person room into a four-person room.
"Let's eat first, and then go upstairs to rest. I'm about to vomit after eating too many sausages!" Ma Hongjun looked at other people's tables from time to time and swallowed madly.
Dai Mubai was wealthy, so he decided to treat everyone. After they had a hearty meal, they went upstairs to rest.
Xiao Xian went to the kitchen and asked them to help process the soul beast meat. He still had some left in his soul guide, which he gave to Xiao Jue.
Although Tang San was with them on this trip, there weren't many surprises.
They arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest one day earlier than in the original novel, so naturally they would not happen to encounter Canghui Academy.
However, Shrek's "school motto" is still playing a role.
Xiao was in the next room and heard Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and a few others go out and seem to beat someone up, but it didn't cause any big commotion.
Xiaojue ate the soul beast meat sent from the kitchen and squeezed into the corner of the room to start practicing.
Xiao Xian also followed his usual habit of the past few years - practicing in the first half of the night, sleeping in the second half, and then taking Xiaojue back in the morning to merge their soul power.
“……”The next morning, everyone continued on their journey.
It didn't take long before they approached the seemingly endless forest.
"Stop." Zhao Wuji turned around, looked at them seriously, and said, "You all need to remember that the Xingdou Great Forest is not the soul-hunting forest of the empire. Here, you may face attacks from soul beasts that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old at any time!"
"Everyone, don't leave me more than 20 meters away. Tang San, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, don't leave me even a step!"
"All of you, without my order, are not allowed to attack any soul beast at will, understand?"
"Know!"
Everyone, including Xiao Xian, looked solemn.
With Xiao Wu here, not only will ten thousand year old soul beasts attack, but even hundred thousand year old soul beasts will show up.
Oscar and Tang San, at Xiao Xian's reminder, had already prepared a lot of sausages and sugarcane in the hotel and distributed them to several people.
There is no time wasted now.
Zhao Wuji asked Xiao Xian to release Xiao Jue, and let it and Dai Mubai walk in the front, while he himself was responsible for covering the rear of the team.
In this way, the eight little guys can all be within his field of vision. Moreover, many soul beasts have the habit of attacking from behind.
"..."
After entering the Star Forest, there was no road inside, and the ground was full of thorns and dense trees.
Before, Flanders was taking Xiao Xian and flying through the air, so he didn't need to clear a path.
With so many people here now, it’s naturally not possible.
Dai Mubai released his martial spirit, ejected his sharp claws, and frantically tore apart all the thorns in front of him.
Xiaojue is much more relaxed and sometimes follows Dai Mubai.
Sometimes, he would leap up and down, jumping back and forth between several big trees, trying to find out what was happening ahead.
Occasionally, you will encounter soul beasts.
Without waiting for Tang San to speak, Xiao Xian would let them get out of the way.
Xiaojue has a very sensitive nose and can spot the traces of soul beasts from a long distance.
Until noon.
Under Zhao Wuji's command, everyone began to rest.
They didn't go too deep into the Star Dou Great Forest. Oscar's spirit ring was at least a thousand years old, and he hadn't found a suitable one yet.
Xiao Wu was quite excited at first, but later on, she gradually became listless.
Xiao Xian glanced at her quietly and handed her a water bag and some food.
The break is over.
By dark, everyone was exhausted, but they had not encountered any satisfactory Millennium Soul Beast for the time being.
Those he encountered were either too strong, far beyond Oscar's endurance limit, or poisonous.
Zhao Wuji reluctantly found a place and camped for the night.
There were no soul beast attacks at night.
The nine of them were basically meditating, their soul power fluctuations were very strong and very intimidating. Not all soul beasts had the courage to attack rashly.
Especially Tang San, the fluctuation of his soul power is the most obvious.
He is a plant-based person, and when he arrived at the Star Forest, it was just like returning home. He felt very familiar and comfortable.
Until morning.
Everyone was eating dry food.
Tang San opened his eyes with excitement, and found Zhao Wuji who was a little impatient.
"Teacher Zhao, I've also made a breakthrough! Level 30!"
Zhao Wuji was drinking water, and he immediately spat it out, staring at Tang San with wide eyes.
"???!"
Everyone who was having breakfast was a little surprised.
