Heading to Star Dou
"What do you think?" Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly. Didn't this girl know her own charm?
"Then why don't you...?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing parted her lips slightly and asked with some confusion.
"You're too young. Let's wait until later."
"Since I love you, I should think more about you and not hurt you, right?" Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said softly, ruffling Zhu Zhuqing's hair.
"Then what will you do?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"I'm fine. At most, I'll just circulate my Qingqi Sutra a little. It's nothing serious," Lu Yuan said.
"Is that so?" Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, then said, "How about I help you?"
"Help me?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood what Zhu Zhuqing meant.
"Alright then," Lu Yuan sighed softly.
The next day!
The group regrouped!
On the plaza, Flender looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, "This time we will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Ring. The Star Dou Great Forest is a very dangerous place, with countless Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, so we must be careful when we go to obtain Soul Ring."
"This time, Teacher Zhao and I will lead the team together, and the Grandmaster will also be walking with us. You eight, arrange your formation and follow behind us. Okay, that's all!"
As soon as Flender finished speaking, the Grandmaster's voice rang out again, "The Star Dou Great Forest is full of dangers, so you should arrange your formations more reasonably and scientifically, with each person fulfilling their own role, so that you can maximize your combat effectiveness. You can choose who will make the arrangements."
"Brother Yuan, come on! You're the strongest, I believe in you!" Ma Hongjun said immediately.
"Yes, Lu Yuan, you make the arrangements!" Oscar added.
"Yes, yes!" Ning Rongrong nodded her little head gently.
Zhu Zhuqing, needless to say, definitely supports Lu Yuan.
In this way, Lu Yuan's side already had more than half of the people, so Tang San and Xiao Wu's wishes were no longer important.
"Since everyone says so, I'll make the arrangements!"
Lu Yuan said, "Dai Mubai will lead the way, Tang San, Oscar, and Oscar Ning Rongrong will walk in the middle, Zhu Qing and Fatty will be responsible for the left and right flanks respectively, and Xiao Wu, you will stay by Ning Rongrong's side and help protect them. I will be at the rear to cover the rear."
Lu Yuan's arrangement was generally reasonable. The most important tasks were to clear the way and cover the rear, so he and Dai Mubai one in front and one behind.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong are support-type Soul Master and need protection, so they walk in the middle, with Tang San and Xiao Wu protecting them. Moreover, Tang San is a control-type Soul Master, so being in the middle makes it easier for him to provide support.
Zhu Zhuqing is fast and Ma Hongjun is explosive, so they can handle unexpected situations, which is why it's good for them to be on either side.
"Is everyone okay with this?" Lu Yuan asked after everything was arranged.
"No objections!" Everyone shook their heads, including Dai Mubai and Tang San. After all, this arrangement was already good enough, and they didn't have any better ideas. The teamwork among them wasn't very good, and it was already good enough that they could form a group.
"Is everything arranged? Let's set off!" Flender said, and led the way, with Zhao Wuji and the Grandmaster following behind him.
Lu Yuan and the other eight followed behind them.
The distance from the Shrek Academy to the Heaven Dou Great Forest is not short; it would take a considerable amount of time to travel on foot alone.
After three days of walking and resting, the group finally arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Having missed the original story's timeline by a few days, they didn't encounter the group from the Canghui Academy, and the group arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest without any problems.
"Go in!" Flender said softly.
Then stride forward!
"Okay!" The group followed closely behind and began to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.
A year later, entering the Star Dou Great Forest again felt like just yesterday; everything here was unchanged.
Touching the Silver Reverse Scale in his arms through her clothes, Lu Yuan's thoughts wandered. He wondered how well her injuries had healed.
Just as Lu Yuan touched the Silver Reverse Scale, a stunningly beautiful figure in the Lake of Life opened her purple eyes.
Sensing that familiar presence, a slight smile curved her lips, "You're back?"
Touching her own heart, she could sense Lu Yuan's condition through her perception of his Reverse Scale. Lu Yuan's heart was beating strongly, indicating that he was in very good condition.
"Hmm?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. If his senses were not mistaken, Gu Yuena's Silver Reverse Scale seemed to be heating up. Could it be that Gu Yuena had discovered his arrival?
He reached into his robes and, sure enough, the Silver Reverse Scale were radiating a faint warmth, a stark contrast to their usual icy coldness. It seemed this was because he had come to the Star Dou Great Forest and gotten close to Gu Yuena.
Thinking of Gu Yuena, Lu Yuan felt a mix of emotions, a mixture of affection and apprehension. She must have sensed his presence this time, so should he go and see her?
Lu Yuan hesitated, but looking at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, Lu Yuan dismissed his idea. The Star Dou Great Forest was too dangerous, and he should protect Zhu Zhuqing.
As for Gu Yuena, we'll have time to meet again in the future, and she might be recovering from her injuries right now, so it wouldn't be good to disturb her.
