Seven Hundred Year Demon Soul Tree Demon!

The seven of them quickly packed their things.

These people had no intention of introducing themselves to Tang Yin, their attitudes appearing extremely cold.

Tang Yin did not care about this in the slightest.

Of course.

He had already grown vigilant in his heart.

On this trip to the Soul Hunting Forest, he would not trust anyone other than Xiao Wu.

Before long.

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu followed the team into the Soul Hunting Forest.

Chen Feng led the way at the front, while the other seven performed their respective duties, responsible for the rear guard, the left and right flanks, and scouting.

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu were in the middle of the team, which was considered the safest position.

"You are both so young, yet you come to such a dangerous place as the Soul Hunting Forest. Do you not have any adults at home?" Chen Feng asked.

Hearing this, Tang Yin replied casually, "We are work-study students from the academy."

"Work-study students?!"

The astonishment on Chen Feng's face deepened, and he thought to himself, Truly a phoenix rising from the ashes!

Chen Feng continued to ask, "To become Spirit Masters at such a young age, you both seem to have great talent!"

Xiao Wu was just about to show off proudly, but Tang Yin tightened his grip on her hand and smiled faintly, "Thank you for the compliment."

"I wonder what kind of spirit ring Uncle Chen wants to add to your spirit?" Tang Yin asked in return, attempting to seize the initiative in the conversation.

"The number and variety of spirit beasts available for selection in the Soul Hunting Forest are not high. As long as the quality is decent and it is of the power type, the rest doesn't really matter," Chen Feng said with a shrug.

Tang Yin thought to himself, There are almost no thousand-year spirit beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest. It is impossible for these people not to know this situation. In that case, this Chen Feng's first spirit ring is very likely white; otherwise, he wouldn't be choosing a hundred-year spirit ring for his third one!

Time quickly reached evening.

The group found a spacious area to set up tents and prepare to rest.

"Young people these days are truly precocious. They've started dating at such a young age~"

"What's the big deal? When I was that kid's age, I had already had three girlfriends!"

"Look at that face of yours; were you as good-looking as him when you were a kid?"

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu set up their tent together.

The others watched them, laughing and teasing.

The more Xiao Wu heard, the redder her cheeks became, and she would glance at Tang Yin from time to time.

"Ahem!"

"Don't misunderstand, we are siblings!"

Tang Yin looked back at Chen Feng and the others, explaining with a helpless expression.

These adults had no sense of shame.

It was truly speechless.

"Hahahaha, look, look! The kid is shy! He's flustered!"

"He can't even come up with a better excuse!"

"Kid, your little girlfriend is already blushing, and you're still sticking with the 'siblings' story!"

The crowd continued to tease them.

"Alright, alright, aren't you all tired? Aside from those on night watch, everyone else get some rest!" Chen Feng sighed and said helplessly.

Hearing this, the others stopped their banter.

After all, what Chen Feng said made sense.

The Soul Hunting Forest was fraught with danger, and they needed to maintain their condition.

"Tang Yin, you and Xiao Wu should rest as well. You two don't need to take the night watch," Chen Feng said.

"Alright, thank you, Uncle." Tang Yin led a blushing Xiao Wu into the tent.

"Tang Yin, I'm hungry..."

Inside the tent, Xiao Wu crossed her legs, her face flushed as she spoke.

"Wait a moment."

Tang Yin took several bags of bread and other fine grains, as well as drinks like milk, from his Soul Tool and handed them to Xiao Wu.

"Eat these first; save the dry rations for the very end."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She took them, divided them into two portions, and smiled, "Let's eat together."

Tang Yin did not refuse.

After the two were full and satisfied inside the tent, they prepared to rest.

"Xiao Wu, you go to sleep first."

"I'll take the first half of the night, and you take the second."

Tang Yin lowered his voice as he spoke.

Xiao Wu was slightly stunned and asked, "Aren't there others outside keeping watch?"

Tang Yin smiled, patted Xiao Wu's little head, and said, "Don't pin your hopes on others; you must have enough vigilance yourself."

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, and she felt as if Tang Yin were glowing.

After Xiao Wu fell asleep, Tang Yin sat cross-legged and released his Blue Silver Domain.

In an instant.

The Blue Silver Grass within a radius of five hundred meters became his eyes.

"It's a pity I can't maintain the Blue Silver Domain for long, or my soul power wouldn't be able to support it."

With the help of the Blue Silver Domain, Tang Yin carefully inspected the situation within a five-hundred-meter radius before retracting the domain and closing his eyes to meditate.

For one, it allowed him to maintain his condition.

For another, if any accident occurred, he would be able to respond immediately.

The night passed, and Tang Yin opened his eyes several times, each time due to the noise made when the guards outside rotated.

"Hmm~"

Xiao Wu let out a soft moan, stretched her waist, and then sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Tang Yin, let me take over the watch."

"Ugh, ah~"

Xiao Wu yawned instinctively.

Tang Yin hadn't slept all night, but through meditation, his mental state remained perfectly fine.

He smiled helplessly upon hearing Xiao Wu's words.

"Xiao Wu, it's already dawn."

"Get ready, we're about to set off."

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment. When she saw how bright it was outside the tent, she exclaimed, "How is it already dawn! Tang Yin, didn't you sleep all night?"

Tang Yin laughed, "I used meditation to replace sleep; I'm not tired at all, don't worry."

"Besides, you looked so cute while sleeping that I couldn't bear to disturb you."

Xiao Wu's pretty face flushed red.

Although they had lived in the same dormitory before, the dormitory was quite spacious.

There was still a distance between the two beds.

It wasn't as cramped as the current tent.

If the two of them slept at the same time, there would be less than thirty centimeters of space between them.

"Are both little friends awake?"

"Get ready to move out!"

Chen Feng's voice rang out.

"Coming!" Tang Yin replied in time, then turned to look at Xiao Wu with a smile: "Xiao Wu, I'll go out and wait for you first."

Xiao Wu nodded slightly with a blushing face, watching Tang Yin's back, a strange emotion quietly budding in her heart.

A moment later.

The ten of them packed their luggage and set off again.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

"Demon Soul Tree Demon!"

Tang Yin stared at the eerie tree directly in front of him, calling out its name while judging the age of the Demon Soul Tree Demon in his heart.

"Captain, I think this Demon Soul Tree Demon is at least six hundred years old! Why don't we look for a weaker plant-type soul beast for this kid instead?"

"Captain, the strength of this Demon Soul Tree Demon is too terrifying. Even if we manage to kill it, I'm afraid we'll all end up injured!"

Chen Feng listened to his team members' advice and hesitated. The strength of a Demon Soul Tree Demon was not comparable to ordinary plant-type soul beasts; it was extremely aggressive.

"Tang Yin, the age of this Demon Soul Tree Demon is at least seven hundred years old." Xiao Wu leaned into Tang Yin's ear and reminded him in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Tang Yin nodded slightly.

That was what he thought as well.

He just didn't expect that Xiao Wu, who usually slept and slacked off in class, would be so knowledgeable about the age of a Demon Soul Tree Demon.
