He handed each of them a sausage and a dried sausage, saying: "My sausages can maintain their potency in the air for twelve hours, that is to say, eating them within twelve hours will have an effect. The sausage restores treatment and fills hunger, and the main function of the dried sausage is detoxification."

  Everyone took turns to receive it, carefully putting it away on their bodies. They understood that Oscar was afraid that in the face of a crisis, he wouldn't have time to give them sausage, so he gave them some first.

  The continuous release of his soul force made Oscar's face somewhat pale, fortunately, the络腮胡子 covered it up and didn't make it too obvious. The sausage he conjured had a great effect on others, but only one-third of that effect worked on himself, roughly balancing out with the consumption of his soul force. As such, after consuming his soul force, he could only recover through meditation, although the filling effect of the sausage was also useful to him.

  Zhao Wuji looked around at everyone, saw that the seven young men in front of him were all ready, and then waved his hand, "Let's go."

  This time, Zhao Wuji let Dai Mubai and Tang San walk ahead together, he personally took the rear, taking the first step into entering the Star Dou Great Forest.

  After entering the Starry Forest, Xiao Wu was the most excited. She didn't seem to think this was a dangerous place at all, bouncing and jumping around with uncontainable joy. Zhao Wuji frowned as he watched her, but since she hadn't exceeded his restricted range, he didn't say anything else.

  The terrain inside the Starry Sky Great Forest was extremely complex, and there were no roads in the forest at all. The task of opening up a path naturally fell on Dài Mùbái's shoulders.

  With the help of Wu Xie's soul, Dai Mu Bai's white tiger palm sliced through the thorns, and with a swing of his palms, he cut through the thistles in their path, not slowing down their advance at all.

  Tang San closely followed behind Dai Mubai, his eyes and ears raised to their strongest state as he carefully observed the surroundings.

  The master had once specially told him about the knowledge of wild soul beasts. Wild soul beasts have extremely strong attacks, and they are extremely hateful towards humans who kill them to enhance their strength. What's most frightening is that among the wild soul beasts, there are some that gather in groups, which means it's very possible to encounter a group of powerful wild soul beasts. In this situation, unless the soul master himself has astonishing strength, it would be very difficult to resist.

  So, the master warned repeatedly that once entering the range of a wild soul beast, one must be extremely careful and cannot afford any mistakes, otherwise, they may face a catastrophic disaster.

  The master allowed Tang San to come to Shrek Academy not to learn anything, but because the master himself was troubled by his own strength. Although teaching Tang San was no problem, after Tang San reached level 30, he would no longer be able to help him obtain soul rings.

  The thirty-level soul ring that can be tolerated is of the thousand-year level, and the thousand-year soul beast in the national breeding grounds is extremely rare. Those with good quality are even rarer, and only by going to the wild soul beast habitat is it possible to find a suitable one. Therefore, Master let Tang San go to Shrek Academy, the most important reason being that he hoped to rely on the strength of the teachers at Shrek Academy to help Tang San obtain a suitable soul ring.

  They soon encountered soul beasts, and it was a group of them.

  In Zhao Wuji's deliberately lowered voice, everyone stopped advancing. This group of soul beasts was first discovered by Tang San. They were a group of rodents. These soul beasts weren't very large and their attacking power wasn't considered strong either, but their teeth were extremely vicious, capable of biting through metal.

  Tang San grasped Dai Mubai's hand, who had previously charged forward to clear the way, with one hand and shook his other hand behind him towards the crowd, indicating that there was no danger. Relying on the experience imparted by his master, he could see at a glance that this group of twenty or thirty rodents were merely ten-year soul beasts.

  The weasel's sense of smell is very keen and at this distance they had obviously discovered them, but did not show any signs of it, apparently having no interest in them.

  Tang San pointed sideways, and Dai Mubai understood tacitly. He continued to slash through the thorns on the side, helping everyone move forward.

  As they walked forward, Dai Mubai asked Tang San in a low voice, "Why do we have to go around? Those rodents earlier weren't strong, killing them would have been fine."

  Tang San smiled and said, "They don't pose a threat to us, why kill them? If all Soul Masters were like this, after many years, would there still be any soul beasts left in this forest? Moreover, my teacher once told me that even if we encounter low-level soul beasts in the wild, we can't take it lightly. Once we engage in battle with them, the smell of blood and noise may attract more powerful soul beasts. It's better for us to be cautious."

  Dai Mu Bai's heart was filled with joy and admiration as he said: "Your teacher must be a very powerful elder. These are all precious experiences."

  Tang San thought of the Master's helplessness, and a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Powerful? The Master and these two words seemed to be still far apart. This was also the Master's greatest regret in his life.

  The starry forest is really too dense, the words "obscuring the sky and covering the earth" are not exaggerated at all, it's hard to see sunlight even inside the forest.

  After about an hour, it was already noon. During this time, they had encountered many soul beasts, but most were ten-year and hundred-year ones. When encountering soul beasts, they mostly avoided them and did not directly conflict. Occasionally, some foolish ones came to seek death, and Dai Mubai's tiger palm directly solved the problem. Of course, he listened to Tang San's opinion and did not kill these soul beasts, but only drove them away or injured them.

  "Alright, let's take a break for now." Zhao Wujie's voice relaxed the tense crowd. Dai Mubai cleared away the thorns around them, creating an open space of nearly 100 square meters. The group sat down against the trees to rest and recover temporarily.

  Oscar naturally contributed his sausages, and at this time everyone didn't have the mood to feel what was delicious or not, eating Oscar's sausages and drinking the water they carried with them, temporarily resting.

  Zhao Wujie gave the order to take a one-hour break. Here is still considered the outer periphery of the Starry Sky Great Forest, and high-level soul beasts are not common, so it's relatively safe. Their goal was to help Oscar kill a suitable thousand-year-old soul beast, but they needed to continue deeper into the forest to do so. The further in they went, the more dangerous it would become, and their rest time would also become more precious. Therefore, adjusting to the best state in a relatively safe place is necessary.

  Xiao Wu leaned on Tang San's shoulder, for some reason, she was excited when they first entered the forest, but after encountering a soul beast for the first time, she seemed listless, as if she had something on her mind. Tang San also found opportunities to ask her, but Xiao Wu always said she was fine.

  Just as everyone had rested for about half a time, suddenly, Tang San and Zhao Wuji's gazes simultaneously turned in one direction.

  Zhao Wujie shouted loudly: "Everyone get up, there's something to tell you all."

  Tang San and Dai Mubai tacitly took the lead in blocking Oscar and Ning Rongrong, while Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and Fatty guarded the sides. At the same time, everyone released their martial souls, including Zhao Wuxin.

  The rustling sound grew louder and louder, and even Oscar and Ning Rongrong, as auxiliary Soul Masters, could clearly feel the speed at which the unknown creature was approaching.

  "Zhu Zhuqing, take a look at what it is." Zhao Wujie gave a low order.

  Zhu Zhuzi quietly rose to his feet, his sharp claws popping out as he swiftly climbed up a nearby large tree towards the direction of the sound.

  The cat's vision is extremely exceptional, even at night, let alone now that it's still daytime.

  Soon, Zhu Zhuliang's clear and cold voice came from the tree, "It seems to be a flying snake, only it can't fly high, it can only fly forward at a position about three meters above the ground. There is a fleshy crown on its head, which looks bigger than its head, fresh red like blood. The tail is special, fan-shaped."

  Zhao Wujie's eyes lit up, "It's a Feng Wei Ji Guan snake, this kind of soul beast is quite rare. The fleshy crown on its head has many wonderful uses. Oscar, you're in luck. Unfortunately, I don't know how old this Feng Wei Ji Guan snake is. Zhu Zhuqing, keep an eye on the direction it's moving in and report back to me immediately if there are any changes."

  "Yes. It's coming in our direction at a high speed, but its body seems to be having some trouble balancing."

  Tang San suddenly asked: "How long is this phoenix-tailed chicken crown snake? What color are its wings?"

  "Zhu said: 'The wings are light red in color and their length is approximately between 6 meters to 8 meters.'"

  Tang San calculated briefly in his mind, then said with certainty: "This is a thousand-year-old Phoenix Tail Chicken Crown Snake. The pale red color of its wings is the mark of its evolution over a thousand years. Judging from its body length, it should be between 6 to 8 meters long, which means it has cultivated for around 1,300 to 1,800 years. Oscar, this one suits you just fine."

  "The Phoenix-Tailed Chicken Crowned Snake is non-toxic and a rare, powerful non-toxic snake. It attacks by wrapping its body around its enemy to suffocate them, with a very singular attack method, but it's extremely fast, and the crest on its head stores various nutrients, which can give it an instant speed boost in times of crisis. If you obtain this soul ring, your next soul skill should be related to speed. Whether it's auxiliary speed enhancement or adding speed to yourself, both are good choices. The Phoenix-Tailed Chicken Crowned Snake has relatively weak attack power and a singular method, so it's rarely seen above a thousand years old; you're quite lucky this time."
