Chapter 91: Leaving the Star Dou Great Forest
The next morning, Shi Lin woke up with huge dark circles under his eyes.
Last night, Shi Lin and Shi An frantically searched for all kinds of insect-type soul beasts near the tent, since Shi Lin's materials for refining Gu worms would all be soul beast insects, so he needed to stock up on some in advance.
After all, Shi Lin no longer looks down on high-grade Gu worms, and will focus on refining top-grade Gu worms from now on.
In this way, Shi Lin and Shi An spent half the night searching for nearly seven or eight hundred soul beast insects near the tent.
There were toads, centipedes, bamboo worms, ants... and even two dung beetles.
Shi Lin seems to remember that there are Gu worms that are made from dung beetles.
"Brother Lin, didn't you sleep well last night? You have such dark circles under your eyes." Ma Hongjun asked with concern, looking at Shi Lin's tired face.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just went to bed really late last night. You don't look like you got any rest either," Shi Lin said to Ma Hongjun with a smile.
"Hehe, isn't today the day I'm going to absorb a soul ring?" Ma Hongjun scratched his head a little shyly.
"Why don't you two rest a little longer?" Zhao Wuji leaned over and asked Shi Lin and Ma Hongjun.
"No need, is today mainly about watching Ma Hongjun absorb soul rings? No, I don't absorb soul rings, so it's not a big problem," Shi Lin said with a smile to Zhao Wuji.
"I'm fine, I've been resting well lately," Ma Hongjun quickly waved his hand and declined.
"That's true." Zhao Wuji nodded in a serious manner.
Just as the group was preparing to come out of the tent to wash up.
"boom!"
With a loud thud as something heavy hit the ground, everyone abandoned their bedding and rushed out of the tent.
They just came out of the tent.
The group discovered that a crane-like soul beast with red flames burning on its wings had fallen unconscious and was lying on the ground.
Judging from this, this should be the Flame Crane that Flanders mentioned, the one that Ma Hongjun could absorb as a soul ring.
"Teacher, you're so cool!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed excitedly after realizing what was happening.
Bird-type soul beasts are inherently difficult to capture, and Ma Hongjun possesses a bird-type spirit. This Flame Crane is perfectly suited to Ma Hongjun's spirit in terms of age, attributes, and even species. As Ma Hongjun's first soul ring, the Flame Crane can unleash Ma Hongjun's full potential.
"Alright, you've attracted a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with your shout. Hurry up and absorb the soul ring." Flanders descended from the sky and landed next to Ma Hongjun, giving him a sharp rap on the head, and said irritably.
Ma Hongjun cried out in pain, then rubbed his head, smiled nonchalantly at Flanders, took out a small knife, bent down, and severed the Flame Crane's neck.
The Flame Crane died completely in its sleep.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Lin took out a small basin and caught the blood flowing from the Flame Crane's neck.
Although Ma Hongjun was puzzled, he didn't say anything. He sat cross-legged next to the Flame Crane, preparing to absorb the soul ring.
The Flame Crane is, after all, a three-hundred-year-old soul beast. Its flesh, bones, and wings are all rare treasures and materials for refining top-grade Gu worms.
Because the Flame Crane and Ma Hongjun's attributes matched, the absorption was very smooth and there were no difficulties at all. Ma Hongjun had already absorbed the soul ring.
"Teacher, I did it!" After successfully comprehending the soul skill, Ma Hongjun stood up and excitedly said to Flanders.
"I understand. Sit down and regulate your breathing to stabilize your cultivation. We'll talk again once your cultivation is stable." Flanders pressed on Ma Hongjun's shoulder, urging him to sit down and continue cultivating.
Ma Hongjun nodded, then sat back down on the ground to consolidate the cultivation he had just absorbed.
"Dean Flanders, may I have the carcass of this Flame Crane?" Shi Lin gave Flanders a fawning smile.
Flanders was stunned for a moment after hearing Shi Lin's words.
Soul beast meat is not tasty, so apart from some soul beast carcasses whose fur is usable, no one wants the other soul beast carcasses if they are left on the ground.
After all, taking it back would just be a waste of space.
"Take it, but this stuff doesn't taste good. What do you want it for?" Flanders nodded, then asked Shi Lin curiously.
"Hehe, I like to tinker with things and study the materials of soul beasts. Maybe I can create something useful." Shi Lin smiled, then went to the side of the Flame Crane, squeezed the Flame Crane's corpse, and squeezed out the last drop of blood.
The Flame Crane collected a whole small basin of blood.
Shi Lin transferred all of the Flame Crane's corpse and blood into the soul tool, since time was relatively fixed in the soul tool and there was no need to worry about it spoiling.
Fresh materials are used to refine Gu worms, which will enhance their effects.
Flanders glanced at Shi Lin with great interest.
"You do resemble a good friend of mine. Whatever, take it." Flanders smiled and shook his head.
Shi Lin immediately knew that the person Flanders was talking about was Grandmaster, but Shi Lin really didn't want to become Grandmaster's disciple.
After dealing with the Flame Crane's corpse, Ma Hongjun had stabilized his cultivation and was ready to set off at any time.
"Alright, little ones, it's time for us to set off. Let's try to leave the Star Dou Great Forest by sunset. It's too dangerous in here; it's not suitable for you." Flanders glanced at the children in front of him and said with a smile.
"Yes, Dean!" everyone replied, and then followed Flanders out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Flanders didn't want to linger in the Star Dou Great Forest, so Shi Lin stopped searching for soul beasts while running and focused on keeping up with Flanders.
The group quickly left the Star Dou Great Forest.
Shi Lin hadn't expected the operation to be completed so quickly; he had only captured some soul beasts and insects, as well as the corpses of fire cranes.
There was nothing left to gain.
That's normal, after all, this is the Star Dou Great Forest, and it's inevitable that ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts will come out of the Star Dou Great Forest. Flanders and his group won't be in any danger, but it's a different story with three six-year-old toddlers. The danger level increases dramatically.
Therefore, leaving the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible is the right thing to do.
Shi Lin was also thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would open a shop here and buy some soul beast corpses. That way, he could save time and effort and wouldn't have to go looking for soul beast corpses himself.
After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, the group boarded a carriage and headed towards Notting City.
Next, Flanders and his group will head directly to Notting City. By this time, Shi Lin's father, Shi Zhen, should have already arranged for people to begin building the new Shrek Academy.
The Shi family is wealthy, so building an academy would be relatively easy for them.
