Chương 179: Chapter 179: I don't think it's a good idea
...
"Just let Zeng Yi and Zhao Wuji accompany you!"
Grandmaster's words dumbfounded everyone else.
"Master, aren't we going together?" Tang San couldn't help but ask. According to reason, they were a team, and if someone had to acquire a soul ring, they should do it together. After all, they had accompanied Oscar to the Star Dou Forest together.
But Tang San felt that these words shouldn't have come from Grandmaster's mouth. After all, Grandmaster had always taught them to stay united, and their training was based on the principle that when one person made a mistake, the whole group was punished.
Looking at the puzzled expressions of the others, Grandmaster said, "It won't take long to help Zhu Zhuqing acquire the third soul ring, two or three days will do, there's no need for so many people to go together. It would attract too much attention. Moreover, you are well aware of Zeng Yi's strength, he alone is enough to match all seven of you, plus Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint level powerhouse, this lineup is sufficient. You better stay at the academy and focus on your training."
Grandmaster's reasons were indeed good. The three of them had more than enough strength to acquire a third soul ring, but they were companions. Can they really not help?
Grandmaster could explain this question as well.
The last time they went to the Star Dou Forest, although Yu Xiaogang didn't go, Tang San described the process to him, which really frightened him.
The whole Shrek team almost wiped out in the Star Dou Forest.
This time, he couldn't risk sending these students together again. What if they encountered another unexpected situation? It is impossible to be lucky every time.
With Zeng Yi and Zhao Wuji's abilities, if they encounter danger, they can easily escape, and it wouldn't be a problem to bring Zhu Zhuqing along.
But having too many people makes it difficult to take care of everyone.
Therefore, the fewer people, the better.
"Well then."
Seeing the determined look in Grandmaster's eyes, the others didn't say anything anymore. They also roughly guessed why Grandmaster arranged it this way.
Indeed, when they remembered what happened last time, they still felt lingering fear.
"Wait, where are we going to acquire the soul ring? The Hunting Soul Forest?"
After a moment of silence, a voice suddenly came from behind, Zeng Yi raised his hand and weakly asked.
"Ah, Zeng Yi, it should be the Star Dou Forest. The Hunting Soul Forest doesn't have suitable thousand-year soul beasts." Ma Hongjun reminded.
There are very few thousand-year soul beasts in the Hunting Soul Forest, and it's even more difficult to find a suitable martial soul. To obtain a suitable soul ring, they could only go to the Star Dou Forest.
Why not go to the Sunset Forest?
Because the Star Dou Forest is closer.
After hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Zeng Yi's heart sank, recalling those bitter days.
Then Zeng Yi staggered, holding his stomach with both hands, his face turning pale, feeling pain, and even sweating from his forehead.
"I feel a bit uncomfortable in my stomach, probably because of something I ate last night. I'll need a rest for two or three days."
Zeng Yi's tone was weak, apologetically looking at the others, and weakly said, "Sorry, I might not be able to go in this state. Grandmaster, you should choose someone else."
The others were speechless looking at Zeng Yi's behavior, with a black line on their heads.
He had a good appetite during breakfast, how did he suddenly change his mind? We all ate the same food last night, so why only you have a problem?
If you don't want to go, just say so. Is there a need for such a crude excuse?
Grandmaster looked at Zeng Yi and said seriously, "Why, don't you want to go that badly?"
"No, it's just that my body seems unable to support it in this state."
"Alright, we all know what you're really like, there's no need to pretend anymore." Grandmaster directly exposed Zeng Yi's poor acting skills and said, "As her companion and mentor, you should go with her even if you have any hidden difficulties, you know, Zeng Yi!"
Zhu Zhuqing also kept looking at Zeng Yi, her eyes filled with hopeful anticipation.
Since Grandmaster said so, coupled with Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, Zeng Yi had no choice but to stop pretending to have a stomachache. He sighed and said, "Okay then."
"I say, Yi Ge, why do you act like this when it comes to going to the Star Dou Forest? Are you scared?" Ma Hongjun poked Zeng Yi's arm with his elbow, curiously asking.
Zeng Yi was indeed afraid, but he wasn't scared of the Star Dou Forest, he was afraid of getting lost inside.
He got lost alone in the Sunset Forest for six years. Moreover, the Star Dou Forest was even larger in area than the Sunset Forest, so Zeng Yi found it terrifying to think about.
However, would Zeng Yi tell them about this embarrassing matter?
Of course not.
Zeng Yi glared at him irritably and said, "Get lost! What is there for me to be afraid of?"
"Well, I have something to say."
At this moment, Zhao Wuji also brought up a question.
Grandmaster couldn't help but look at him and asked, "What's your question?"
"Well, how should I put it, I'm actually not very willing to go on this mission. How about letting Flender go instead?" Zhao Wuji said somewhat embarrassedly.
The last time he took these little brats with him, he wanted to perform well in front of the students. But nothing went well and he ended up humiliating himself.
First, they encountered the famous Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandmother of the Soul Master world, and finally they encountered the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape!
That was an existence even the Title Douluo would avoid.
They encountered such a powerful soul beast at the edge of the Star Dou Forest. Who would believe such luck?
The Titan Giant Ape almost crushed him to death.
Zhao Wuji felt that it would be better to let Flender, who had never seen such a soul beast, go instead. If they encounter the Forest King again, Flender, as a speed-type Soul Saint, would be faster at escaping.
And he could even fly, so there would be no problem taking the students away together.
Grandmaster was speechless. Why are the questions coming one after another? Zeng Yi, a student, it's understandable, but you, Spirit Sage, how can you be so timid?
"Hehe, it's not that I'm scared. What if that Titan Giant Ape remembers my scent and comes after me next time? So I'm thinking about their safety. Flender definitely hasn't seen it before, so it greatly reduces the chance of encountering that soul beast. Moreover, if they encounter any danger, Flender can fly and can quickly take them away!" Zhao Wuji saw their strange expressions and quickly explained.
The others were speechless. It was the first time they had seen someone clean up cowardliness in such an unusual way.
But Zhao Wuji had no choice. How can he not be cowardly when facing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? What can he do if he can't defeat it?
Hearing this, Xiao Wu, who was standing in the group, couldn't help but cover her mouth and secretly laughed.
She knew that it was completely because of her that Er Ming appeared last time. Without her presence, Er Ming wouldn't have come out at all, so Zhao Wuji's worry was completely unnecessary.
After thinking about it carefully, Grandmaster felt that what he said made some sense, so he agreed to his suggestion and let Flender and Zeng Yi accompany Zhu Zhuqing to the Star Dou Forest to acquire the soul ring.
"Master, I have something to say!"
After Grandmaster organized the team, Ning Rongrong quickly stood up.
"I also want to go with them!"
"You too?" Grandmaster frowned and looked at Ning Rongrong.
"Yes, with my spirit enhancement ability, I can greatly increase their strength, so it will be even more secure, right?" Ning Rongrong said, looking at Grandmaster with pleading eyes.
Grandmaster carefully thought about it, and indeed, that was the case. He looked at Zeng Yi and said, "What do you think?"
Zeng Yi shrugged, appearing indifferent.
"Then go ahead, anyway, there are already so many people, one more won't matter."
It's not like he's alone, there are already Zhu Zhuqing and Flender in the group. Zeng Yi's passive skill, which boosted their strength by 50%, was no longer applicable, and with Ning Rongrong, he could still give him some additional power.
Zeng Yi was actually happy about it.
Seeing Zeng Yi had no objections, Grandmaster said to Ning Rongrong, "Fine, you can go with them. Zeng Yi, you guys get ready, let's set off now."
