When Wang Li returned to the team of students, he was greeted by envy, jealousy and hatred in the eyes of the others. A hundred-year soul ring, that was a hundred-year soul ring, how could he have a hundred-year soul ring?
Wang Li didn't care about this at all. The soul ring had already been absorbed by him. No matter what these people thought, he couldn't spit out the soul ring.
At this time, Su Mo called out to everyone:
"Pack up and we'll be on our way again. It's getting late, and we need to find an open area to camp before it gets dark. The Soul Hunting Forest at night is even more dangerous than during the day."
Both teachers and students responded immediately after hearing this:
"yes!"
Soon everyone set off again, this time not to look for soul beasts, but to find a place to camp. After some effort, they finally found a place with open terrain.
The terrain is high, the visibility is good, and there are no tall trees around. Even if a soul beast wants to attack at night, it can be discovered in time.
The teachers each had their own responsibilities. Some set up camp, some chopped wood for fire, and some spread powder around to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants... It was obvious that they had extensive experience in surviving in the wild.
As the night deepened, everyone gathered around the campfire, eating the food they brought with them. Wang Li ate steamed buns with water. The buns had been roasted over the fire. The cold and hard buns became golden and crispy after roasting. Paired with some dried meat, they were extremely satisfying.
Only Wang Sheng was with Wang Li. The other senior students were probably dissatisfied with him, so they deliberately isolated him.
Of course, Wang Li disdained these children's tricks. After returning this time, they would not have any contact with each other anymore.
At this moment, Zhang Wei washed his hands with clean water, and while wiping the water stains, he called to Su Mo and said:
"Su Mo, you come and arrange the night watch mission tonight."
When Su Mo heard this, he immediately responded respectfully:
"Okay, Dean!"
After finishing speaking, Su Mo turned to look at everyone, his expression became serious, and he said solemnly:
"Night is the time when many ferocious soul beasts hunt in the Soul Hunting Forest, so night watch is essential."
"As the strongest among us, the dean must get enough rest. Fiona is an auxiliary spirit master and cannot respond in time in an emergency. So tonight, the six teachers, Gou An, Yuan Fu, Bao Tong, Fergus, and Eureka, will take turns to keep watch."
At this moment, Su Mo's eyes swept over the faces of the many students. Although only Sheng Kai and Wang Li had obtained spirit rings so far, anyone without spirit rings could still participate in the night watch.
"You are no exception. This soul beast hunting lesson, which was not taught to you in the academy before, is your last. All students will be divided into two groups, each following a teacher to participate in the night watch."
"Once you have a spirit ring, you are a spirit master. When you leave the academy, you must also know how to protect yourself."
The students had no objections and were even quite excited. They had never encountered real danger before. It was probably like this. They all responded in unison:
"yes!"
As expected, Wang Li and Wang Sheng were assigned to the same group. They would accompany Teacher Yuan Fu to keep watch in the third round.
Now, if you want to move around, you can do so. If you don't want to move around, you can go back to the tent and rest.
Wang Li lay down in the tent. Beside him, Wang Sheng said anxiously:
"Wang Li, I really envy you. You already have a hundred-year spirit ring. I wonder what kind of spirit ring I can get."
Wang Li was unable to find words of comfort. In his opinion, the academy seemed to only help students hunt a suitable soul beast, regardless of its age. If they were lucky, they would get a hundred-year soul ring, while if they were unlucky, they would only get a ten-year soul ring.
He had no choice but to say:
"Go to sleep. Perhaps when you wake up, you'll encounter a soul beast that suits you."
Wang Sheng smiled bitterly. It was not that easy. But since Wang Li said so, he didn't want to continue to pester him.
When they woke up, no, they didn't wake up from sleeping, they were woken up by Yuan Fu. It was their turn to keep watch.
When I walked out of the tent, it was already late autumn. This Soul Hunting Forest, far away from human habitation, seemed even more gloomy and eerie at night.
Yuan Fu said to the two of them:
"Flames can keep many soul beasts away, but there are also some ferocious and cunning soul beasts that are not afraid of flames. Once they sense their prey is relaxed, they will immediately attack."
"Wang Li, even if you have a spirit ring, you cannot act on your own. Wang Sheng, you don't have a spirit ring yet, so you must be even more cautious. When patrolling around the camp, if there is any disturbance, notify me immediately."
Wang Li and Wang Sheng said successively:
"I understand, teacher."
"Yes, teacher."
Seeing this, Yuan Fu nodded and said:
"I'll go check out the front, and you guys go check out the back. If we both act together, we can keep an eye on each other. Call me if anything happens."
After saying this, he walked towards the front of the camp. Wang Li and Wang Sheng also turned around and walked towards the back of the camp.
Wang Sheng hadn't obtained the soul ring yet. Looking at the dark forest outskirts, he felt a sense of fear for no reason. He glanced at Wang Li next to him and saw that he looked calm, and his nervous heart relaxed a little.
Wang Li found something wrong. It was too quiet. Even though it was a silent night, there was something obviously unusual.
The two of them came to the back of the camp and looked around. Wang Sheng said:
"It seems there is no danger. With so many of us and a Soul Sect-level dean, there is no soul beast that dares to cause trouble."
Wang Li's eyes widened. He saw a black shadow behind Wang Sheng, which suddenly launched an attack without making any sound.
Wang Li shouted:
"Wang Sheng, squat down!"
Wang Sheng was stunned, but out of trust in Wang Li, he immediately squatted down.
Wang Li stepped on the ground and was instantly ejected as if he was equipped with a spring. His speed was so fast that Wang Sheng could not even see clearly.
Instant step!
Wang Li finally saw clearly that it was a tiger-leopard-like figure. Although it was not as big as a tiger or leopard, its scarlet eyes also exuded a terrifying murderous intent.
It was very fast, but Wang Li was even faster. He arrived first and kicked it with a flying kick, dodging its claws and kicking it on the chin, sending it flying.
"roar!"
It finally let out a wail of pain.
Wang Li's figure was in mid-air. Instead of landing to gain leverage, he incredibly flew out again and caught up with the soul beast he kicked out at an even faster speed.
Violent feet!
Immediately, Wang Li kicked it hard on its soft belly. Cats like tigers and leopards can force themselves to find balance in mid-air, but Wang Li's kick made it completely lose its balance and fall like a rag sack.
"roar!"
The voice was full of sorrow.
