Capítulo 126: Thousand Year Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent (2)
He gave everyone a fresh sausage and a dried sausage, saying:
"My sausage is able to maintain its freshness for twelve double hours in the air, in other words, it will have effect if eaten within twelve double hours. The fresh sausage recovers and treats in addition to allaying hunger, the dried sausage's main effect is detoxification."
Everyone accepted it one by one, carefully putting it away. They understood that Oscar was afraid that in a crisis there wouldn't be time to give them sausage, and so just gave them some in advance.
Continually releasing spirit power made Oscar's expression somewhat pale, fortunately with the full beard to cover it up it could not be considered obvious. The effect of his transformed sausage was very good on other people, but to himself it could only have one third of the effect, basically balancing his spirit power consumption. Consequently, after consuming spirit power he could only recover by meditation. Of course, the fresh sausage was still useful to allay his hunger.
Zhao Wuji looked at everyone, seeing the seven youngsters before him already were ready, then just waved his hand once,
"Set off."
This time, Zhao Wuji let Dai Mubai and Tang San walk in front, he personally took the rear, as they took the first step into Star Dou Great Forest.
After entering Star Dou Great Forest, the most excited one was Xiao Wu, she did not seem to think this was any kind of dangerous place, bouncing and vivacious, unspeakably happy. Seeing it made Zhao Wuji scowl, but since Xiao Wu still did not overstep the restrictive range, he did not say anything.
The terrain within Star Dou Great Forest was extremely complex, there basically were no roads within the forest, so the work of making a path naturally fell on Dai Mubai.
Using Spirit Body Enhancement, the sharp blades on Dai Mubai's tiger paws shot out, both paws swinging, cutting apart the brambles in front, without affecting everyone's movement rate a bit.
Tang San followed just behind Dai Mubai, his vision and hearing both heightened to their keenest state, cautiously and solemnly observing the surroundings.
Grandmaster once talked to him about wild spirit beast lore. Wild spirit beasts were extremely aggressive, and because of people hunting to upgrade their strength they hated humans. Most dreadful was, among wild spirit beasts, there were some that flocked together. In other words, it was very possible to meet a group of tyrannically strong wild spirit beasts. Under these kinds of circumstances, unless the Spirit Masters themselves were astonishingly strong, it would be very difficult to resist them.
Therefore, Grandmaster repeatedly urged that when entering wild spirit beasts' territory, he must be extremely careful. He could not make any mistakes, otherwise, he very possibly would face disaster.
The reason why Grandmaster had Tang San come to study at Shrek Academy actually wasn't at all to let him study various things; what Shrek could teach, how would Grandmaster be unable to teach it. But Grandmaster's own strength nevertheless was a complication, although teaching Tang San was without any issues, Tang San would later in the end reach thirtieth rank. He would not be able to again assist Tang San in obtaining a spirit ring.
Thirtieth rank was capable of supporting a spirit ring of the thousand year level. Thousand year spirit beasts in national captive reserves were exceptionally rare, ones with good attributes were even rarer; only in wild spirit beast habitats was it possible to find something suitable. Consequently, the most important reason Grandmaster had Tang San go to Shrek Academy, was exactly to rely on the strength of Shrek Academy's teachers to assist Tang San in finding a suitable spirit ring.
Very quickly, they came across spirit beasts, and it was also a pack of spirit beasts.
At Zhao Wuji's painstakingly lowered voice, everyone halted. This group of spirit beasts was first discovered by Tang San, a group of Rodent Weasels. This kind of spirit beast wasn't large, and its attack power also wasn't considered very powerful, but their teeth were extremely difficult to deal with, capable of piercing gold and iron.
Tang San's one hand pulled on the shoulder of Dai Mubai hacking through the thorns in front, one hand waving behind him at everyone, indicating no danger. Relying on the experience Grandmaster imparted on him, he saw with one glance that this group of twenty or thirty Rodent Weasels were only ten year spirit beasts, nothing more.
Rodent Weasels had a very sharp sense of smell, and at this kind of distance clearly had already discovered them, but did not show any reaction at all, clearly they had no interest towards them.
Tang San pointed to the side, and Dai Mubai understood tacitly, continuing cutting brambles and thorns towards the side, helping everyone move ahead.
While walking forward, Dai Mubai said in a low voice to Tang San,
"Why must we make a detour, just now those Rodent Weasels weren't powerful, we could just kill them."
Tang San with a slight smile said:
"They were no threat to us so there is no need to kill them. If all Spirit Masters were like this, after many years, could there still be spirit beasts in this forest? Let alone, my Teacher said, within wild spirit beast forest, even if meeting inferior spirit beasts one still can't lower one's guard, because if a battle occurs with them the scent of blood and noise very possibly will attract powerful spirit beasts. It's good if we still are a bit careful."
Dai Mubai cheerfully said:
"Your teacher certainly is an unusually formidable senior. This all is valuable experience."
Tang San helplessly recalled Grandmaster, on his face could not help but display a bitter smile, 'formidable'? Grandmaster did not seem to fit this word. This also was the biggest regret in all Grandmaster's life.
Star Dou Great Forest really was too dense, describing it with the words 'hiding the sky and covering the earth' was not a bit an exaggeration, thinking to see sunshine within the forest was not likely.
Everyone moved forward for probably one double hour or so. By now it was already noon. In this time, they had also encountered not a few spirit beasts, but for the most part it was ten year and hundred years, and the most part they had avoided the spirit beasts they came across without any direct conflict. Then occasionally somewhat blindly courting death, Dai Mubai's tiger paws directly settled the issue. Of course, he complied with Tang San's suggestions and did not kill these spirit beasts, only driving them away or letting them off with bruises.
"Well, everyone rest a moment."
Zhao Wuji's voice made everyone's continuously taut spirits relax, Dai Mubai cleared away the surrounding brambles with one swing, creating a nearly one hundred square metres open space. Everyone sat down leaning against trees, temporarily recovering.
Oscar naturally also contributed his sausage, this time everyone also were not in the mood to feel any taste or lack of taste, eating Oscar's sausage, drinking water they had brought along, for the time being recovering.
Zhao Wuji passed down orders to rest for one double hour. This was still the outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest and not many high level spirit beasts would be seen, so it was still relatively safe. Their goal was to help Oscar hunt a suitable thousand year spirit beast, so they had to continue deeper inside. The further they went inside the more dangerous it would be, and resting time also would become even rarer. Consequently, adjusting to peak condition in the relatively safe area was absolutely necessary.
Xiao Wu leaned against Tang San's shoulder. For some reason, she who was happy and excited when just entering the forest, after encountering the first spirit beasts, seemed listless, as if having some worry. Tang San also looked for an opportunity to ask her, but Xiao Wu always said nothing was the matter with her.
When everyone had rested roughly half a double hour, suddenly, Tang San and Zhao Wuji's gazes simultaneously turned in one direction.
Zhao Wuji shouted in a loud voice:
"Get up, there is something approaching."
Tang San and Dai Mubai with an unusual understanding took the lead in covering in front of Oscar and Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and Fatty followed to guard the sides, in the first moments, they all released their spirits, including Zhao Wuji.
The rustling sounds went from small to large, even if it was the Auxiliary Spirit Masters Oscar and Ning Rongrong both could clearly sense that creature approaching at a very high speed.
"Zhu Zhuqing, take a look at what it is."
Zhao Wuji ordered in a low voice.
Zhu Zhuqing still did not utter a word, quietly leaping up, cats claws extending on her hands, climbing a large tree as if walking on level ground to look in the direction of whence the sound came.
Cat's vision was extremely outstanding, even at night was no exception, let alone now when the sun was still at its zenith.
Very quickly, Zhu Zhuqing's clear and cold voice came from the tree,
"It looks like a flying serpent, only it doesn't fly very high, it can only fly about three metres off the ground. On its head is a crest, it would appear still larger than its head, bright red like blood. Its tail is comparatively unusual, fan shaped."
Zhao Wuji's eyes shone,
"It's a Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent, this kind of spirit beast is rare, the crest on top of its head has many fantastic effects, Oscar, you've been blessed. Unfortunately we don't know how old this Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent is. Zhu Zhuqing, watch closely the direction it moves, as soon as it changes direction report to me."
"Yes. It's heading straight in our direction very quickly, only, its body does not seem to have very good balance."
Tang San suddenly asked:
"How long is this Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent, what colors are its wings?"
Zhu Zhuqing said:
"The wings are pale red, its length is roughly between six and eight metres."
Tang San at once made the calculations in his heart, speaking in a sure tone:
"This is a thousand year Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent: pale red wings are the symbol of its thousand year evolution, going by its height, six to eight metres, it should have cultivated between one thousand three hundred years to one thousand eight hundred years. Oscar, just suitable for you."
"The Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent is in itself not venomous, it's a rare formidable non-venomous snake. Attacking by winding around a person's body making them choke, its attack method is very singular, but its surprisingly fast, and also stores every kind of nutrient in its crest, when in danger, it can grant a momentary speed boost effect. If you obtain this spirit ring, then, your next spirit ability should be related to speed. Whether it is an auxiliary speed boost, or gives you additional speed, both are pretty good options. Because Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent's attack power is not at all very powerful and also singular, as a result thousand year or higher is very rare, this time your luck is pretty good."
