After the minor incident, everyone resumed eating. Once they finished, they returned to their rooms to rest.
That night, Lin Qing slept with Xiao Wu in his arms. However, Lin Qing felt that he seemed to have changed somehow. As for how he had changed, he did not know.
Early the next morning, Zhao Wuji used his booming voice to wake everyone up.
The group, roused by Zhao Wuji's shouting, got up groggily. After breakfast, they bought plenty of dried provisions in Soul Hunting Town, then followed Zhao Wuji toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
After running for roughly three hours, they finally arrived at the entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Once we enter the Star Dou Great Forest, danger could arise at any time. We must remain cautious at all times. Lin Qing, you are the strongest, so you arrange the formation," Zhao Wuji said to Shrek's eight members before entering the forest.
"Okay, Teacher Zhao." Lin Qing turned and began assigning positions. "Tang San, Little Tiger, you two take the lead. Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing, guard the flanks. Rongrong and Oscar will stay in the middle. I'll bring up the rear."
Once Lin Qing finished speaking, everyone took their positions and advanced toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Zhao Wuji nodded in satisfaction and led them into the Star Dou Great Forest.
As they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, a gentle breeze swept over them, carrying the fragrance unique to nature. Though Lin Qing had been here several times already, he still felt that the air in the Star Dou Great Forest was the freshest.
As they continued deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, everyone finally sensed its primitive aura from ancient times. After all, the forest's history was too distant to trace.
