Chapter 52: The Importance of Strategy
From afar, everyone vaguely felt a burst of fresh air blowing from the front, and the smell of plants was refreshing - this is the breath of nature, of course, not so mysterious, just different from the place full of people, but there is always some special novelty when you first arrive, and you feel indescribably comfortable or something......
And the one who felt this the most was naturally Tang San, who had refined the Purple Pole Demon Pupil and whose perception was far beyond that of ordinary people, and Xiao Wu, who had originally transformed into a soul beast, would not be inferior in the slightest—but people had been in this place for 100,000 years! It's good if you don't throw up, okay! It may be an exaggeration, but to say novelty? Let's talk nonsense.
As for Fang Yuan...... Don't mention this.
The pace could not continue to speed up, because the speed was really not slow—finally, they came to the position of the inner and outer realm of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Here, tall trees are at least more than twenty meters tall! And that's just the outermost part, the dense forest has no paths at all, and the trees are so shadowy that you can't see the real scene outside.
Before arriving at the forest, the air became more pleasant, as if the temperature had dropped a little, and the refreshing feeling of moist earthy aromas constantly stimulated everyone's sense of smell.
"Stop." Zao Wou-ki, as the leading teacher, spoke, and everyone stopped.
Hundreds of miles of progress had already warmed up their bodies, including Fang Yuan, who had also pretended to be a little bit - and among them, especially Oscar and Ning Rongrong, although their physical fitness as auxiliary soul masters was not bad, they couldn't compare with Tang San and a serious battle soul master like them after all.
At this time, it was time for Oscar to behave, chant his lewd spell in a low voice, and then hand one of them a sausage - although the spell was obscene, the effect of the sausage was real! So during this time, the teachers of the school, especially the dean Flender, have been guiding in this regard, so that everyone is no longer disgusted with Oscar's sausage, at most they just pretend not to hear it when he is chanting the incantation.
As for Fang Yuan...... At this time, he naturally has to be brought out separately to mention, not to mention the state of mind honed over the endless years, even if the first world he crosses over is this, he won't mind this kind of trivial matter! On the one hand, he is not a child, and on the other hand, he was born in China, so when it comes to eating, where is this?
The effect of the sausage is still very powerful, after entering the abdomen, it turns into a boiling hot stream, recovering everyone's physical strength, everyone's emotions become high, including Fang Yuan, although the sausage is of little use to him - on the one hand, the gap between him and the maker Oscar is too big, on the other hand, he has no consumption to recover, and the reason why he is happy is because he is about to be able to carry out his own plan......
But others didn't know this, so Zhao Wuji just looked at the seven students in front of him, including Fang Yuan, seriously, "You have heard me clearly, the Star Dou Great Forest is not the kind of place where the country breeds demonic beasts in captivity, the demonic beasts in it are extremely dangerous, and you may face a thousand-year, or even thousand-year-level demonic beast attack at any time!" Therefore. After entering the forest, none of you should leave me more than twenty meters. In addition, Ning Rongrong and Oscar, you two have to follow me closely, no one is allowed to attack soul beasts easily without my order, do you understand?"
"Understood." After a common sense introduction, everyone should say yes in unison, and then Oscar, as the logistics director, quickly continued to chant the incantation, only a moment of work, there was a large handful of sausages and sausages in his hands, but he did his duty as the logistics director, and prepared a sausage and sausage for each of the people, and at the same time said in his mouth: "My sausage can maintain the vitality of the air for twelve hours, that is to say, eating it within twelve hours will have an effect, and the sausage recovery treatment comes with hunger, and the main role of the sausage is detoxification." ”
Everyone took it one after another, understanding that this was the way it should be - if something really happened, Oscar might not have time to make sausages on the spot, but that would definitely take much more time than preparing it in advance and eating it directly!
However, it is not without drawbacks - the consumption of Oscar is quite large, although his sausage works very well, but the effect it can play on himself is only about one-third of that of others, and the consumption of soul power is basically balanced, and his soul power can only be recovered through meditation after consumption, and this sausage is not bad for himself as a hunger - of course, this is normal, otherwise wouldn't it be like a perpetual motion machine if he eats while eating?
It's just that he made more than a dozen sets of sausages in one go, and now Oscar has just reached level 30 of his soul power, and normally it's almost impossible to collapse now, but from the outside, it still looks like he is in good spirits, and it doesn't seem to have much consumption! This is definitely not an illusion, even if he has thick hair on his face, it is impossible to cover all parts tightly, so everyone can see that Oscar is definitely in excellent condition at this time.
This was caused by some of Fang Yuan's bad tastes - someone should have noticed that Fang Yuan had mentioned before that he gave Ma Hongjun an exercise called "Burning Jue...... Then it is not difficult to understand that Oscar is given another exercise similar to the "Great Origin Technique" or "Second Dantian" to expand the reserves of soul power, anyway, for him, it is just a casual compilation, as for the purpose...... Originally, the mood can be explained in three words, but here you can add this point for some calculations in your heart.
Zao Wou-Ki looked at everyone around, and the seven students in front of him were all ready, so he waved his hand, "Let's go." ”
This time, Zhao Wou-Ki himself was broken, and Fang Yuan, who was a senior, acted as the leader of the line together with Tang San, taking the first step into the Star Dou Great Forest.
There is no doubt that after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu is the most excited - she doesn't seem to think that this is a dangerous place at all, jumping and jumping, indescribably happy, Zhao Wouji frowned when he saw it, he didn't know the truth after all, so when he saw it, he would feel that Xiao Wu was too heartless.
But Xiao Wu didn't go beyond his limits, and he didn't say much, he just planned to let Xiao Wu suffer a little loss if possible, depending on the situation—of course, it had to be a particularly good opportunity, and it had to be safe, otherwise it would have to be after returning to the academy.
The terrain in the interior of the Star Dou Great Forest was very complicated, and there was no road in the forest at all, so the work of opening the road naturally fell on Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan didn't use a martial soul, he directly took out a large knife from the soul guide - it was like a long-handled watermelon knife, but the reason why there were different types of knives was just to make them easier to use, and the knife in Fang Yuan's hand could be worse? Therefore, even if it is not suitable for opening the way, it is a lie under the extremely sharp blade.
Tang San followed closely behind Fang Yuan, improving his eyesight and hearing to the best state, carefully observing his surroundings.
As a local scholar, he had a master who had specifically told him about the knowledge of the wild soul beast land - the wild soul beasts were extremely aggressive, and they were extremely disgusted by humans who improved their strength by splitting and killing them! The most terrifying thing is that among the wild soul beasts, some of them are clustered, which means that if they are not careful, they are likely to encounter a group of powerful wild soul beasts, in this case, unless the soul master itself is amazingly strong, it will be difficult to resist - after all, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands.
Therefore, the master had told him a thousand times that once he entered the territory of the Wild Soul Beast Land one day, he must be extremely careful and not make any mistakes...... Otherwise, the local dialect. It's likely to be doomed!
And in fact, the reason why the master let Tang San come to Shrek Academy to study was not to let Tang San learn something - in terms of theoretical knowledge, all the teachers of Shrek Academy combined were not enough for him to fight with one hand, but unfortunately, the master's strength was too poor, and multiplying it by ten on the basis of his own combat power was probably not enough for the weakest faculty member in Shrek Academy to fight...... Even if it is an auxiliary soul master, the physical fitness of at least five or six good soul rings stacked should not be underestimated!
Therefore, the master let Tang San go to Shrek Academy, the most important reason is that he hopes to help Tang San obtain a suitable soul ring with the strength of the teachers of Shrek Academy - starting from the third soul ring, at the same time, a thousand-year-level soul ring is required.
Soon, they encountered soul beasts, and they were a group of soul beasts - this group of soul beasts was the place where Tang San first discovered them, and they were a group of rodents. This kind of soul beast is not big in stature, and its attack power is not very strong, but their teeth are very powerful, and they can bite through gold and iron.
However, Tang San also easily judged that this was just a group of tenth-level soul beasts, without any value, plus this thing's sense of smell was very sensitive, at this distance, they had obviously been discovered, but there was no sensitivity, obviously there was no interest in them, so there was no need to cause trouble, so everyone walked around lightly.
The Star Dou Great Forest is so dense that it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words "covering the sky and the sun...... Want to see the sun in the forest? Not to say it's impossible, but it's definitely not an easy thing to do.
The crowd had been on the march for about an hour, and it was noon.
Since this hour, they have also encountered a lot of soul beasts, but most of them are ten years and a hundred years, after all, they are only the outermost outer, so most of them choose to avoid these soul beasts that they don't need, and they don't directly conflict, unless they occasionally encounter some blind people who come up to die, at this time, everyone will not be soft, basically a few people can run away with their hands, and those who really want to die will be fulfilled.
"Alright, let's rest for a while." Zhao Wuji's voice made everyone who had been nervous relax, and Fang Yuan swept the surroundings around, making a clearing of nearly 100 square meters was just a matter of using the Dao in his hand to urge the sword qi to come casually twice - and then everyone sat down against the trees and trimmed it temporarily.
However, this time he did not let Oscar contribute the martial soul sausage, but Fang Yuan directly took out a bunch of food from the soul guide, although they were all cold cooked food, dry food and the like that had no aroma, but it was better than eating sausages alone, and more importantly, although everyone was nervous at this hour's hurried, they did not consume much soul power, so there was no need to waste Oscar's sausages.
It's just that Xiao Wu's state at this time was a little strange, I saw her leaning on Tang Sandi's shoulder, she was still elated when she first entered the forest, she didn't know why she began to look a little listless after meeting the soul beast for the first time, as if she had something on her mind, but the answer Tang San got every time she asked was fine.
Just when everyone had rested for about half an hour, suddenly, several people with sensitive perception focused their eyes on one direction at the same time.
Zao Wou-Ki instantly burst into tears: "Get up, something is approaching at high speed!" ”
And what else could be close to everyone at high speed in this Star Dou Great Forest? It's either a human or a soul beast, and the common denominator is that they are both dangerous!
Everyone released their martial souls at the first time, including Zhao Wuji, and Fang Yuan, who was actually the strongest, did not come out at this time, but according to the normal logic of others, together with Tang San, they seemed to have a tacit understanding to protect the two auxiliary soul masters in the team.
The rustling sound grew from small to loud, and at this time, there was no need to be sensitive, even Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who were auxiliary soul masters, could clearly feel how fast the unknown creature approached the ground.
As the only Keen Attack Soul Master in the team, Zhu Zhuqing consciously took on the responsibility of scout investigation without Zhao Wouji's orders, and the sharp claws in his hand popped out in the state of the ghost cat's martial soul possession, and he quickly climbed a big tree next to him as if he were walking on the ground, looking in the direction where the sound came from.
There's no doubt about how good a cat's vision is, even at night, and even more so at noon—
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice came from the tree. "It seems to be a flying snake, but it doesn't seem to be able to fly high, and it can only fly forward about three meters above the ground...... It's more like a glide. There is a fleshy crown on the top of the head, which looks larger than the snake's head, the color is bright red like blood, and the tail is more special, fan-shaped. ”
Zao Wouji's eyes lit up, "It's the Wind-tailed Cockscomb Snake, this kind of soul beast is quite rare, the flesh crown on its head has many wonderful functions, Oscar, you are blessed, but unfortunately I don't know how old this Wind-tailed Cockscomb Snake is...... Zhu Zhuqing. Keep an eye on where it's going, and report back to me as soon as there is any change. ”
"Yes. It's coming in our direction, fast, though. Its body seems to have some poor balance. Zhu Zhuqing responded.
And at this time, Tang San suddenly spoke: "What is the length of this wind-tailed cockscomb snake, and what color are the wings?"
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly stunned, but he quickly replied: "The wings are pale red, and the length is ...... Visual estimates are between six and eight meters. ”
Tang San calculated a little in his heart, and said in an affirmative tone: "This is a thousand-year-old wind-tailed cockscomb snake...... The pale red wings are a sign of its evolution for thousands of years, and according to its length, six to eight meters, this length range should be between 1,300 and 1,800 years, which should be just right for Oscar. ”
Therefore, it is also necessary to form a team to form a theoretical boss who is familiar with the strategy.
