Zhao Wuji's voice seemed to carry even more steadiness in the faint light of dawn:
"Oscar has reached level 30. Flanders asked me to take you all to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a soul ring for him."
The name of the Star Dou Great Forest, like a heavy symbol, made the originally relaxed atmosphere turn solemn.
A flash of surprise crossed Oscar's eyes, and his exclamation was particularly abrupt in the morning light:
"We're actually going to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Tang San felt a twinge of nervousness in his heart and hurriedly asked:
"Have you heard of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Oscar nodded, his voice tinged with both fear and longing for that place:
"The Star Dou Great Forest is a wonderful place. Of course, it's also an extremely dangerous place.
"It's the cradle of soul beasts. It's a favorite place for powerful soul masters, and at the same time, it's also the place where soul masters suffer the most casualties."
Tang San's eyes held a hint of scrutiny:
"Is it the forest where our Tiandou Empire breeds soul beasts?"
Oscar shook his head, his tone full of awe for the Star Dou Great Forest:
"Of course not. Those forests for breeding soul beasts are nothing compared to the Star Dou Great Forest.
"There are even very few hundred - year - old soul beasts in them!
"The Star Dou Great Forest is one of the three most famous gathering places for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. It's so vast that it's almost comparable to the land area of the Barak Kingdom.
"The terrain inside the forest is incredibly complex, with deep rivers, vast swamps, and fog - filled marshes.
"Most importantly, the soul beasts there are extremely terrifying.
"It's said that there are even hundred - thousand - year - old soul beasts in it."
Tang San couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart. Half - joking and half - serious, he said:
"A hundred - thousand - year - old soul beast! Wouldn't it kill us all with just a fart?"
Oscar nodded helplessly:
"That's no joke. So, the Star Dou Great Forest is very dangerous. Of course, there are also many opportunities."
At this time, Xiao Wu stood quietly aside. Hearing words like "hundred - thousand - year - old soul beast", her heart also couldn't help but tense up.
Her small hands tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, as if seeking a bit of reassurance.
"Alright, let's go. Chen Feng, you lead the team." Zhao Wuji said.
Me?
Chen Feng was slightly taken aback. Wasn't it supposed to be Dai Mubai leading the team?
He composed himself, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"The Star Dou Great Forest is a place full of unknowns and dangers. Every step there could lead to eternal damnation.
"We must be careful and stay vigilant at all times!"
Chen Feng's gaze swept over each team member one by one:
"Dai Mubai, you're powerful. You'll be in charge of scouting the way at the front. Oscar and Ning Rongrong, you two follow behind Dai Mubai. Tang San and Xiao Wu, you're responsible for guarding the left and right flanks. Ma Hongjun, Gu Long, you two stay in the middle. Zhu Zhuqing, you follow the team and keep an eye on any movements. As for me, I'll be at the very back to ensure no danger can approach us from behind.
"Does anyone have any objections?"
No one in the team objected.
Dai Mubai's gaze rested on Chen Feng's figure. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he felt a bit more respect for Chen Feng's leadership skills in his heart.
"No, your arrangements are quite reasonable. I'm suitable for going in front.
"Chen Feng, where did you learn this leadership style?
"You seem more steady than me, an old student."
[Ding, it is detected that Dai Mubai has an admiring emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
Chen Feng just smiled gently and remained humble, not answering.
Tang San nodded silently beside him, a glint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
He highly approved of Chen Feng's arrangements, believing that this was a perfect utilization of everyone's abilities.
Dai Mubai, whose strength was second only to Chen Feng, was to open the way at the front of the team. His martial spirit was well - balanced in offense and defense, making him the most ideal candidate!
Tang San himself, as a control - type soul master who could manipulate the Blue Silver Grass, was naturally the best choice to be positioned on the flank.
Ma Hongjun and Gu Long in the center could provide a solid backup for Oscar and Ning Rongrong.
Oscar's food - based martial spirit and Ning Rongrong's supportive abilities from the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect were like the energy stations of the team, ready to support the team at any time.
Zhu Zhuqing, with her cheetah - like agility, would shuttle around the perimeter of the team. Her speed and quickness were sharp weapons for scouting the enemy, paving a safe path for the team in advance.
And the most powerful Chen Feng standing at the end was like a guardian. His strength ensured that even the most cunning enemy couldn't deliver a fatal blow to the team from behind.
In this team, everyone shone like a gem, each fulfilling their own duties and forming a perfect battle picture.
[Ding, it is detected that Tang San has an admiring emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
Zhao Wuji's gaze lingered on Chen Feng for a moment, a glint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
In his opinion, Chen Feng's arrangements were obviously more mature than Dai Mubai's.
...
The Star Dou Great Forest was located in the southeast of the Barak Kingdom.
They traveled through mountains and rivers, crossed forests and ridges for a whole day.
Now, as the sun gradually set and night fell slowly, the outline of the Star Dou Great Forest was faintly visible, just within reach.
Zhao Wuji gave the order to rest, and they stopped for the night in this unknown small town in front of them.
The small town was lit up with dim lights, reflecting on everyone's tired faces.
The others went upstairs to tidy up their rooms.
Chen Feng felt his stomach protesting. He decided not to follow the others upstairs but to find a corner in this fragrant restaurant on this floor to temporarily soothe his stomach.
He ordered several dishes that looked good and sat down easily, waiting for this simple yet satisfying meal.
Ning Rongrong and Gu Long had the same idea as him.
At the moment, the restaurant was bustling. Six or seven out of ten seats were occupied.
People of all kinds were shuttling around. The air was filled with the aroma of various delicacies, and laughter and conversations rose and fell.
Just as Ning Rongrong was thinking about what delicious food she could enjoy tonight, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the store. A group of eight people intruded on this tranquility.
The steps of these eight people were very orderly, and each step silently demonstrated their arrogance and superiority.
However, their behavior was in stark contrast to their steps, being rude and arrogant.
After entering the restaurant, unlike other guests who were polite, they pushed aside the people in front of them along the way.
Some guests were roughly pushed away, and some even fell to the ground, but this group of people didn't even glance at them out of the corner of their eyes, as if they were blind to the existence of others.
The atmosphere in the restaurant became tense. The guests who were pushed to the ground were angry and wanted to voice their accusations.
[Ding, it is detected that Restaurant Guest A has an angry emotion, and the emotion value + 1]
[Ding, it is detected that Restaurant Guest B has an angry emotion, and the emotion value + 1]
But when their eyes fell on the clothes of that group of people, their burning anger was forced down. They could only awkwardly get up and endure the humiliation in silence.
The middle - aged man in the lead was tall and slender, exuding a coldness that made people feel unapproachable. His silver hair was meticulously combed, and the moon - white soul master's robe he wore was obviously of extremely high quality. The silver - thread patterns embroidered on it swayed gently with his steps, making the robe shine brightly.
The seven young men following closely behind were all soul masters with remarkable soul power, which could be seen from the texture of their moon - white soul master's robes and the aura exuding from their steps. There was a distinct cyan ring mark on their left shoulders, which was the symbol of Canghui Academy.
"That little girl looks quite good - looking."
One of the male students stared at Ning Rongrong, a malicious glint in his eyes.
"I wonder which unknown small academy she's from. She probably has no real strength, not even wearing an academy uniform."
Another student from Canghui Academy sneered disdainfully.
[Ding, it is detected that Canghui Student A has a flirting emotion, and the emotion value + 10]

Canghui Academy is so arrogant. Can the little devil tolerate it?
However, Ye Zhiqiu is a Soul King and is not easy to deal with.
