The Shrek Seven Monsters Enter the Inner Region?

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Having witnessed the entire process, Dajin jogged over to Qin Feng and asked in confusion.

Bald Qiang was also rather curious. His sharp senses had detected what seemed to be an invisible membrane around them, but he could not tell what it was.

"This is a barrier. It can withstand the attacks of any Soul Master."

Qin Feng clapped his hands in satisfaction. With the Turtle Formation, along with the Barrier Beast's three seconds of absolute defense, the safety of the little cabin would no longer be a concern.

"The attacks of any Soul Master?"

Hearing this, Bald Qiang's heart jolted. He sucked in a cold breath, while a trace of delight rose within him.

If that was the case, he would no longer need to worry about the little cabin's safety in the future.

After all, he never wanted to experience another stifling battle like yesterday's.

"It's that powerful?"

Dajin's eyes widened as his gaze swept repeatedly across the surroundings, only to find that the pale green barrier from before had already vanished.

"System, draw—"

Just as Qin Feng was about to continue drawing prizes, he suddenly heard the sound of something slicing through the air beside his ear.

The next moment, a figure appeared before him.

Qin Feng focused his eyes and immediately recognized the person as Yuan Tiangang.

"Your Highness, scouts from various factions have appeared outside the Star Dou Great Forest. Should I kill them all?"

Yuan Tiangang's low voice rang out without the slightest hint of emotion, as if he were merely describing an utterly ordinary matter.

"Hmm... As long as they don't enter the Star Dou Great Forest, leave them alone."

After considering it for a moment, Qin Feng spoke slowly.

It was not because he was kindhearted. Killing a few scouts would bring only a limited increase in Shock Value, so rather than kill them, he might as well let them gather and make a bigger haul later.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yuan Tiangang nodded. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly remembered that there was another matter he had yet to report.

"Your Highness, I discovered something interesting."

Yuan Tiangang turned back and spoke with a calm expression, but the eyes exposed beyond his mask were filled with interest.

"What is it?"

Qin Feng raised a brow at this and asked with great interest.

After all, there were not many things that could catch Dashuai's interest.

"I found a group outside the Xingdou Great Forest. Though they are all young, every one of them possesses astonishing fortune."

"Especially that little boy in blue. Even I envy his fortune. He looks rather like the legendary Child of Fortune."

As he said this, Yuan Tiangang clicked his tongue in amazement. The last time he had encountered such a situation was back in his own world.

"Child of Fortune? Blue clothes? Tang San?"

Hearing Dashuai's words, Qin Feng reached a conclusion without even thinking.

If Dashuai was right, then that group had to be the Shrek Seven Monsters.

After all, not just anyone could bear the title Child of Fortune. Other than Tang San, Qin Feng truly could not think of anyone worthy of that title.

"Tang San? Your Highness knows him?"

Hearing Qin Feng mutter the name, Yuan Tiangang asked in confusion, though he found it unlikely.

After all, if His Highness knew the Son of Destiny, then His Highness's fortune should at least be golden. Yet why did His Highness's fortune look black enough to turn purple?

"Heh, I know him all too well!"

Qin Feng chuckled. Anyone who had read Douluo Continent but did not know Tang San might as well not have read it at all.

He could write an entire book about Tang San's misdeeds!

Destroying the Slaughter City, releasing the fallen ones, wiping out Spirit Hall, then dusting off his hands and leaving... and so on, and so on. There were too many for him to count.

"What? Did they enter the Xingdou Great Forest?"

Qin Feng did not dwell on it and instead continued asking.

"That's right. After staying for some time at the market outside the Xingdou Great Forest, they entered the Xingdou Great Forest."

"Since several among them belong to top factions, I came to ask Your Highness whether they should be killed."

Yuan Tiangang nodded. He had noticed that two among them came from top factions and had originally intended to kill them.

But seeing their astonishing fortune, he could not make up his mind for the moment, so he had come to ask His Highness.

"No need to kill them. We'll cross paths in the future."

Qin Feng waved a hand. Since they were supposed to be protagonists, would a world without protagonists not be boring?

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yuan Tiangang nodded, then vanished from where he stood.

"Tang San..."

After Dashuai left, Qin Feng gazed through the air toward the Xingdou Great Forest market, a smile curling across his lips.

When he had first transmigrated here, he had originally planned to go to Shrek Academy and follow Tang San around. But everyone knew that Shrek Academy looked down on everyone else. As a cripple without a Martial Soul, would he not only be humiliating himself by going there?

Back then, he had also sought information about Tang San. When he learned that Tang San was still at Noding Academy, he had relaxed.

An early-stage protagonist was far less important than completing the system's missions.

"Kehehe... Tang San, I hope you don't run into me."

As he spoke, an evil smile appeared on Qin Feng's face.

"Eh, no, why did I laugh like that?"

Qin Feng patted his cheeks and wiped the smile from his face.

Why did he feel as if he was becoming more and more like a villain?

"Teacher Zhao, where is the Soul Beast we're looking for Oscar?"

At the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, a group was currently heading toward the inner region. Ning Rongrong rubbed her somewhat swollen legs and spoke listlessly.

Her legs had started aching from all the walking.

"Don't rush. Haste makes waste. We need to carefully search for a Soul Beast that matches Oscar's Martial Soul."

Zhao Wuji crossed his arms and explained patiently.

After all, whether a Soul Master's Soul Skills were powerful depended on whether the hunted Soul Beast suited them. If a Soul Master carelessly absorbed just any Soul Ring, that Soul Master would most likely be ruined.

"Fine."

Ning Rongrong pouted, but did not say anything else.

Just like that, the group soon traveled from the outskirts into the inner region.

"The inner region is up ahead. Be careful."

Looking at the boundary between the outskirts and the inner region, Zhao Wuji warned them with a grave expression.

It was not that he wanted to enter the inner region. Earlier, he had seen a Soul Beast suitable for Oscar flee into the inner region, so he could only follow it.

It was not easy to encounter a Soul Beast suitable for Oscar, and he did not want to let this prey slip away.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao."

Ning Rongrong also understood the dangers of the inner region. She put away her little-princess temper and cautiously followed behind Zhao Wuji.

"Xiao Wu, hold my hand."

At the rear of the group, Tang San extended a hand and clasped Xiao Wu's hand. His eyes cautiously scanned their surroundings, while his other hand remained ready to draw hidden weapons at any moment.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was not nervous at all. Instead, she looked around with a relaxed expression, as if she had returned home.
