Chapter 8: The Far North
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Senior Bei Bei, you are too kind. We are all classmates, and we are just helping each other."
After Tang Ya began to absorb the Spirit Ring, the atmosphere between the three of them became much more subdued.
Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao were both very curious about Chen Feng's Strength. Of course, Bei Bei was definitely more cautious, and it was obvious that Bei Bei had already regarded Chen Feng as a love rival.
But it's not appropriate to test someone's abilities on the first day of knowing each other.
As Tang Ya absorbed the power of the thousand-year-old Mandragora Snake's Spirit Ring, she seemed to have matured suddenly. Her skin became white, tender, and shiny, and her figure became more developed, transitioning from that of a girl to that of an adult.
Her aura was also much stronger than before. The bonus of a thousand-year Spirit Ring to a Spirit Master far exceeds that of a hundred-year Spirit Ring.
However, this also means that it will take more time to absorb the thousand-year Spirit Ring.
There were many dangers in the Star Dou Great Forest. During that time, Bei Bei and Chen Feng protected Tang Ya and drove away several Spirit beasts. Fortunately, no thousand-year-old Spirit beasts came to invade.
Two hours later...
"Huh..." Tang Ya took a deep breath. The thousand-year Spirit Ring was successfully absorbed by Tang Ya. She ended her cross-legged meditation, stood up, stretched deeply, her eyes bright, and her whole spirit and energy were greatly improved.
In Douluo Continent, level 30 is an important threshold. A Spirit Master with weak innate Spirit power may not be able to cross this threshold in their entire life. But once they cross it, they are no longer considered a low-level Spirit Master.
"I successfully broke through to the Spirit Master level!! Haha." Tang Ya cheered excitedly, and three Spirit Rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared around her.
Bei Bei smiled and said, "Xiao Ya, congratulations."
Huo Yuhao said, "Teacher Xiao Ya, congratulations on your breakthrough to Spirit Master."
Chen Feng said, "Congratulations, Senior Xiao Ya."
"Now there will be no problem in completing the grade assessment for promotion to the fourth grade." Tang Ya's eyes were full of excitement.
After that, she said to Chen Feng, "Thank you."
Bei Bei coughed and said, "Okay, Xiao Ya, since you have absorbed the Spirit Ring of the Mandragora Snake and broken through to the Spirit Master level, let's leave here quickly. The Star Dou Great Forest is still too dangerous, and powerful Spirit beasts may appear at any time."
The four of them followed the same route they came from and quickly headed out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Although they encountered several Spirit beasts along the way, they were easily dealt with by Chen Feng and his companions. After all, most of the outer Spirit beasts were hundreds of years old and were no match for Chen Feng and his companions.
An hour later, they finally left the Star Dou Great Forest and continued to run for dozens of kilometers.
After all this trouble, the moon in the sky was now hanging high, casting bright moonlight that enveloped the earth, covering everything with a layer of silver gauze.
In order to rest, several people came to a stream.
Especially Chen Feng, who had been exploring the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time and was quite tired.
The most important thing is that Electrolux was nowhere to be found, which made Chen Feng quite helpless.
However, Chen Feng adjusted himself quickly. Since he had already done his best, there was no need to complain.
Chen Feng went into a stream in the distance to wash up, used his Spirit power to shake off the water mist on his body, and then changed into a clean set of clothes from the storage Spirit guide.
As for old clothes? Just throw them away. A set of clothes only costs a few dollars.
Tang Ya cheered and came to the stream, scooped up the water in her palms, drank a few sips, and then washed off the dust she had picked up in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao also washed themselves with stream water.
Huo Yuhao came to the stream, and with his sharp eyesight, he saw the shadows of fish swimming at the bottom of the stream.
He said in surprise: "Teacher Xiao Ya, Senior Brother, there are fish here. Do you want to eat grilled fish? If so, I will catch a few and grill them for you."
"Eat, eat, eat! Xiao Yuhao!" When Tang Ya heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her saliva flowed out unconsciously.
"Come on, Yuhao. This time, Bei Bei and I will help you catch the fish, and you just need to grill it. Yuhao, your grilled fish is really delicious."
Chen Feng, who had just finished washing his body, came back here and found Huo Yuhao grilling fish.
The aroma of fish wafted from far away.
Chen Feng thought, "This time I can try out Huo Yuhao's grilled fish skills that everyone praises."
Huo Yuhao used the White Tiger Dagger to scrape off the scales of several cleaned fish, cleaned out the internal organs, then threaded them with sharpened branches, lit a bonfire, and then leaned against the bonfire, slowly turning the fish meat back and forth.
Soon, the aroma of fish meat began to spread around the campfire, and the aroma was fragrant. The snow-white fish meat gradually turned golden yellow, and the fat on the fish covered the fish meat, which was particularly tempting.
Huo Yuhao handed the first batch of grilled fish to Chen Feng, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei respectively, and then continued to grill the remaining fish.
"This grilled fish is so delicious!" Tang Ya's mouth was full of oil. "Why is there such a big difference when I grill it myself?"
Bei Bei said, "Yuhao, your grilled fish skills are comparable to those of the top chefs."
After eating it, Chen Feng said, "It tastes good."
Huo Yuhao rubbed his head sheepishly and said, "It's not difficult. As long as you grasp the right temperature and the right timing for adding the seasonings, it will be fine."
After eating a fish, Chen Feng said, "This is more of a test of talent. Yuhao has a very good talent."
After Chen Feng said this, Bei Bei and Tang Ya nodded continuously.
After hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but touch his head shyly.
In addition to Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, Chen Feng and his companions picked some wild fruits from the surrounding area, hunted a few small animals, and ate some dry food.
After Tang Ya had eaten, she fell asleep directly.
Huo Yuhao endured the dual fatigue of body and mind and began to practice the Mysterious Heaven Skill that Bei Bei taught him yesterday.
In the end, only Bei Bei and Chen Feng were on guard, and they took turns sleeping.
When falling asleep, Chen Feng asked the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his mind to help him keep watch, and only then did Chen Feng fall asleep peacefully.
The next morning, Chen Feng and Tang Ya parted ways and headed towards the Far North.
Chen Feng had already discussed with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his mind about going to the Far North to persuade the Ice Empress.
"Don't worry, Chen Feng. Leave everything to me. Hahaha." In the sea of Spirit, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said excitedly.
The outskirts of the Far North.
Chen Feng wore the remains of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm on the outside, a Flame Lion King fur coat on the inside, and a warm bear skin hat on his head, and continued to move towards the core area.
Chen Feng knew how cold the Far North was, and he didn't want to suffer the cold like Huo Yuhao in the original novel...
"Chen Feng, as long as you win this bet, you will become the strongest genius in the history of Douluo Continent!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said to Chen Feng in the sea of consciousness.
"Our destinies are one. In the future, I will become a god, and you will live forever with me." Chen Feng's eyes were more determined than ever before.
"Lead the way, Tianmeng, I will reach the peak!" Chen Feng strode forward.
