Chapter 177: Entering the Star Forest

Chapter 177: Entering the Star Forest

Nothing in the night

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Dugu Huang, who hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, finally woke up.

Feeling the little kitten curled up in his arms, he felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"It's more comfortable to sleep, why bother practicing?"

After many days, Dugu Huang finally woke up again, hugging the kitten.

As if because of Dugu Huang's actions, the kitten in his arms also moved and opened its extremely beautiful eyes.

"Is it dawn yet?"

Zhu Zhuqing, curled up in Dugu Huang's arms, felt her shoulders exposed to the air without the quilt.

Then, she shrank down in his arms and asked softly.

"Of course, it's time to get up."

Although Dugu Huang said this, he lowered his head and blocked Zhu Zhuqing's mouth when she wanted to say something.

······
"Everyone from Shrek, assemble!"

As Zhao Wuji shouted in his loud voice, different sounds were heard in the room where the Shrek people were.

Before long, Tang San and others appeared at the entrance of the hotel.

Even Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who were often late at the academy, were standing here at this moment.

The only ones missing were Dugu Huang and Zhu Zhuqing.

It was not until Zhao Wuji discovered that the two had not arrived yet that the others naturally discovered the fact that the two had not arrived yet.

Those standing here are naturally not blind. Based on the relationship between Dugu Huang and Zhu Zhuqing shown in the academy, they all tacitly acknowledged the relationship between the two.

In fact, if it was just a simple relationship between a couple, no one present would say anything about it, but the relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai was a little strange.

They were all twelve years old, which was not considered young in this continent. Like Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, they had women of their own, so they naturally knew what the absence of Dugu Huang and Zhu Zhuqing at this moment meant.

Tang San looked towards Dai Mubai who was standing not far from him, only to see that Dai Mubai had his head lowered, but he could still see a hint of gritted teeth on Dai Mubai's face.

At this moment, none of the Shrek people standing at the door of the hotel made a sound. Even Xiao Wu, who usually loved to whisper, did not make a sound.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong, who lowered her head, felt Zhao Wuji's gaze in front of her falling on her.

She looked up and saw that Zhao Wuji was looking at her with a questioning look.

"Why aren't you looking at me?"

"Zhu Qing, she ran away secretly in the middle of the night. How would I know where she went?"

Facing Zhao Wuji's gaze, Ning Rongrong turned her head to the other direction, obviously not wanting to talk to Zhao Wuji.

"Haha, everyone is up."

Just when Ning Rongrong was complaining in her heart, Dugu Huang's voice came from behind everyone, breaking the weird atmosphere.

Dugu Huang's figure passed by the crowd, and Zhu Zhuqing, who appeared with him, stood silently beside Ning Rongrong.

"I'm so sorry I encountered a difficult little animal this morning."

Dugu Huang walked up to Zhao Wuji and said to him with a hint of apology. Although this was the case, was there really a hint of apology in his heart?

Dugu Huang's almost joking words had different meanings in everyone's ears...

The Xingdou Great Forest is located in the south of the Tiandou Empire. The forest spans the two empires and there are many soul beasts here.

As one of the three major wild soul beast gathering places, this is the place that soul masters most want to come to. The thousands of soul beasts here allow them to find the soul ring that suits them best.

The Shrek group was moving forward at a steady pace. Dugu Huang looked at the dense trees that were dense enough to block out the sun and knew that they had entered their destination.

Star Forest.

Dugu Huang, with his almost monstrous physique, had already sensed the bursts of plant fragrance coming from the forest, and the smell of this fragrance was refreshing and indescribably comfortable.

He followed the people in front of him slowly, looking into the distance. The forest was filled with extremely lush green.

Countless species and numbers of vegetation have been growing in this forest for who knows how many years.

Until, as we gradually went deeper into the forest, the air became more comfortable and the dense branches and leaves blocked the sun above our heads.

Gentle breezes blew, carrying with them the fragrance of moist earth. This comfortable feeling instantly made everyone who had been traveling hundreds of miles feel relaxed.

The speed of the crowd slowed down until Zhao Wuji, who was in the front, stopped, and then the Shrek group also finally stopped.

Zhao Wuji turned around and looked at the students who had stopped.

"This is the Star Forest."

"Remember this, this is not the Soul Hunting Forest where you have been to Xingluo or the Heaven Dou Empire where soul beasts are kept in captivity.

All the soul beasts here are extremely aggressive, which is different from those countries' soul hunting forests, which only have soul beasts that are hundreds or thousands of years old.

Here you may face more powerful thousand-year soul beasts, or even extremely powerful ten-thousand-year soul beasts at any time. You have all seen thousand-year-level soul beasts, so I don't think you think that ten-thousand-year soul beasts are easy to mess with.

Even a Soul Saint like me has to avoid two or more ten thousand year old soul beasts, let alone you who haven't even obtained the third soul ring.

So, from now on, none of you should stay more than twenty meters away from me.

Auxiliary soul masters should pay more attention to the distance between teams.

This soul ring hunting operation is mainly based on the orders of me and Dean Dugu. Do you understand? "

"understand!"

After Zhao Wuji finished speaking, his gaze fell on Dugu Huang who was at the end of the team and nodded to him.

Dugu Huang naturally responded to him.

Hearing Zhao Wuji's extremely serious words, everyone except Dugu Huang showed a seriousness on their faces that was extremely rare in normal times.

This is not a fighting spirit arena, and life-and-death fights cannot occur here. You must know that in this Star Dou Great Forest, the number of spirit masters killed and injured every year is countless.

They just came here to obtain spirit rings and didn't want to lose their lives here.

As a result, the positions of several people changed silently. Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and they became closer to Zhao Wuji.

Ning Rongrong walked towards Dugu Huang openly and stood together with Zhu Zhuqing.

Only Tang San and Xiao Wuluo were in the middle, but at Dai Mubai's request, Tang San moved closer to Dai Mubai.
