Before dawn, Zhao Wuji used his broken gong-like voice to wake everyone up.
"Get up, get up, don't sleep like pigs."
Except for Tang San who often gets up early, everyone else looks like they are hopeless, especially those who like to sleep in, such as Zhao Xuan, Ma Hongjun, Oscar...
Several people were sleeping hazily, and Zhao Wuji grabbed them out of bed. The temperature in the morning was frighteningly low, and they were shivering from the cold.
"You brat, you can't even get enough of a soul ring by yourself."
Zao Wou-Ki was like an old mother, scolding Oscar.
"Ah, I don't want the soul ring anymore, I want to sleep!" Oscar muttered, holding the quilt tightly.
"What are you talking about?!" After hearing this, Zao Wou-Ki slapped Oscar on the head with a slap as big as a cattail leaf fan, and now he completely woke up from his drowsiness.
"It hurts, Teacher Zhao." Oscar held his head with tears in his eyes, staring at Zhao Wuji with a pair of resentful eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense! And Ma Hongjun, Zhao Xuan, get up quickly!"
After a lot of fuss, everyone finally set foot on the road to the Star Forest. The sun had not yet come out, and the sky was a thick clear gray. In the extremely distant eastern sky, a touch of fish belly white slowly appeared.
When they woke up early in the morning, there was not even a place to finish their meal. Everyone filled their bellies with Oscar's big sausage and started on their way.
The distance from the small town to the Star Dou Forest is not that close, it is still about hundreds of kilometers away. Because they are afraid that the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Forest will come out and wreak havoc, these merchants do not dare to get too close.
After all, these soul beasts are not those kept in captivity by the empire. Every soul beast inside is full of aggression.
When we arrived at the edge of the Star Forest, the sun had already been out for a long time. The rich water vapor in the forest had evaporated into a thin mist that filled the forest. The vast expanse of white made the distant scenery vaguely visible.
Looking at the endless forest in front of him, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the fresh breath of vegetation poured into his nose, making him feel relaxed and happy.
Zhao Xuan looked at the boundless virgin forest and sighed, an individual is really so worthless in front of the majestic creation.
The ancient trees in the Star Forest are towering. Even in the periphery, each giant tree still has a diameter of several meters and a height of twenty or thirty meters. The tall crown blocks the sunlight, making the world under the trees look gloomy.
There are many shadows in the dense forest, and there is no concept of a road in it, because it is too big and dangerous, and no one can open a road.
Zhao Wuji stopped to make arrangements. Ning Rongrong and Oscar, the two pure auxiliary soul masters, had to stay by his side, and others were not allowed to leave a distance of twenty meters from him.
After all, it was too dangerous here, and he couldn't help being careless. Maybe a Soul Saint could show off his power in the outside world, but once inside the Star Dou Forest, he had to behave himself.
Everyone is careful, even Zhao Xuan doesn't dare to be careless. This is the most dangerous place in the Douluo Continent, and even Soul Douluo and even Titled Douluo don't dare to act recklessly.
"La~ la la la~"
Xiao Wu hummed a little tune and jumped up and down. She didn't seem to feel that this was a dangerous place at all, but she seemed happier than usual.
Tang San helplessly reached out and caught Xiao Wu several times, but every time he said it was okay, he made another mistake the next moment.
"You seem happy too."
Zhao Xuan suddenly asked Hermione who was looking excited at the side. He didn't think anything of Xiao Wu. After all, in his eyes, Xiao Wu had always been innocent. Well... you could say he was heartless.
"Of course I'm happy, after all, this is the Star Dou Forest! My grandfather only came here once when he obtained the fourth soul ring." Hermione said happily, obviously she has been yearning for the Star Dou Forest for a long time.
"A bunch of brats, this is not a scenic spot, can you be a little bit worried?"
Zhao Wuji, who was leading the team, couldn't help but pinch his brows when he looked at Youya's group of people, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure. In the past, it was better to have fewer people, but now he has to protect the safety of nine, um... eight little devils, even though he has the strength.
Zhao Xuan, who is not bad, can help a little bit, but this kid obviously doesn't know how scary the Star Dou Forest is.
Along the way, everyone saw a lot of spirit beasts. Each of these spirit beasts had a ferocious look. Even a ten-year-old colorful cat would dare to roar at you. They were full of wildness.
The ancient trees are towering and blocking out the sun. The dense canopy completely blocks the sky. Only a few small rays of light are projected in. The whole forest looks dark and dark. Weird vines climb between the ancient trees, and the ancient trees are underground.
, dark green moss covers the stones and tree trunks.
"Hermione, let me show you your first soul skill. There is a lot of miasma in it."
Zhao Wuji suddenly said to Hermione, there are countless fallen plants or corpses of soul beasts in the Star Forest. When these things rot, they will form miasma. Miasma is not a good thing. Many miasmas are even poisonous.
.
"The clear spring is like a spring!"
Hermione nodded, and then summoned her wand. She clicked the small wand ten times in succession, and a stream of clear light fell on everyone. Suddenly, a new feeling lingered on everyone.
"It seems that this miasma is affecting us silently." Tang San frowned slightly.
"Are you okay?" Zhao Xuan supported Hermione who looked a little pale.
"It's okay, it's just that it's a bit too much to use so much soul power at once." Hermione said helplessly, covering her forehead.
"It seems that you still have a lot to learn." Zhao Wuji shook his head and said.
"Mubai!" Zhao Wuji called out to Dai Mubai, who was leading the way.
"What?"
Dai Mubai was sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the forest, he was treated as a coolie by Zhao Wuji. After being possessed by the martial spirit, he used his sharp claws to deal with the difficult thorns in the forest. Now he looked quite embarrassed.
"Find a place to camp and have a rest." Zhao Wuji ordered. It had been some time since he came in, and everyone had consumed a lot of energy. Maintaining sufficient energy at all times is the way to survive in the Star Dou Forest.
Dai Mubai nodded, and then continued to use his sharp claws to clear the way ahead. After finding a relatively flat place not far ahead, Dai Mubai cleared the surrounding thorns and bushes to reveal a flat place.
The group of people took a break in the open space, and at the same time took out dry food and began to replenish their physical strength.
"Hey. Why didn't I meet an interesting soul beast?" Zhao Xuan sat on the ground and sighed. He only encountered some ten-year-old soul beasts along the way, not even a thousand-year soul beast.
Zhao Wuji laughed and scolded: "When a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast really comes, you won't even be able to run away."
Zhao Xuan let out a cry: "If it really comes, I won't let it run away in time."
"rustle"
Suddenly, a rapid sound gradually sounded, like the sound of something rubbing against the leaves, moving very fast.
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Zhao Xuan, are you open?
