7: Chapter 7 Harvest
"What's wrong, Qiuqiu? Why the long face?"
When they were in the room just now, Lin Feng had noticed that Nan Qiuqiu's mental state was off, so after finishing everything, he took her out for a walk.
Nan Qiuqiu pursed her lips as if she had made up her mind. She turned to face Lin Feng, her eyes resolute.
"Brother Lin Feng, if you really must leave, take me with you. I want to follow you and gain experience!"
"No. You lack experience and have no idea how dangerous the world is. My journey is for training."
"So-called training requires putting oneself in danger. If I take you, I'll be distracted, and it will be a burden for both me and you."
Lin Feng refused flatly. This wasn't child's play; how could it be decided so easily?
If Qiuqiu wanted to see the world outside, he would choose to send her to one of the three Empires to study, not follow him on his training journey.
As for Shrek? Without some cheat or immense Luck, it's best not to go.
Otherwise, it's truly easy to be used as a firecracker by Shrek.
Nan Qiuqiu was anxious, "I'm very strong, okay? I definitely won't hold you back, Brother Lin Feng."
"Be good. If you really can't stand being lonely, I can send you to the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy. If I have time, I'll come to see you. How about that?"
Lin Feng thought about it and finally came up with a compromise: sending Nan Qiuqiu to the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy.
First, the Star Dou Great Forest is very close to the three Empires, and he certainly couldn't stay in the Star Dou Great Forest forever. If he had free time, he could just happen to go to the Heavenly Soul Empire to visit Qiuqiu.
Second, his journey was indeed fraught with danger. Ordinary Heavenly Tribulation Body Tempering had reached its limit; he needed to find stronger Power of Thunder.
Like Heavenly Tribulation!
As for where the most Spirit Beasts were, that would be the Star Dou Great Forest, one of the three human Forbidden Grounds. He might be able to try his Luck there.
Nan Qiuqiu thought about it and agreed with Lin Feng's suggestion to go to the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy.
...
Three days later, outside the Earth Dragon Gate.
"Xiao Feng, I'll leave Qiuqiu in your care. When you're out, keep your guard up; don't stick your neck out for everything." Nan Shuishui held Lin Feng and Nan Qiuqiu's hands, her eyes turning red instantly.
"Don't worry, Mom. The Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy is very safe. I'll send Qiuqiu to register first, then head to the Star Dou Great Forest." Lin Feng said.
"Mm, take care!"
Nan Shuishui's emotions ran deep, and tears couldn't help but flow.
"Why are you crying? Your son is successful now; you should be happy!" Lin Feng grinned and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Mm..."
Nan Shuishui turned away, trying not to let anyone see her disheveled state.
Elder Tianlong stepped forward, one hand behind his back, looking at him with a complex expression: "Xiao Feng, you've grown up now. The hearts of men are treacherous; you must be on guard."
"This token is a parting gift from Grandpa Tianlong. Take it; if you encounter difficulties, you can go to Shrek to seek help. Naturally, someone will help you!"
Lin Feng took the token, and the moment he saw the pattern on it, his pupils constricted.
There were six patterns on this token, divided into two parts: sword, hammer, dragon; the other part was a chrysanthemum, a human shadow, and a crown.
"This is... the Elder Token of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago?"
Lin Feng felt his scalp tingle. This thing hadn't been lost even after ten thousand years? It seems the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan took the token out before they were wiped out.
Elder Tianlong was also stunned when he heard this; he didn't expect him to recognize this token.
Seeming to see his shock, Lin Feng continued: "I was very interested in the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago and specifically read ancient books. Among them, there was an introduction to the Elder Token."
"That's right, this is indeed the Elder Token held by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of the Upper Three Sects ten thousand years ago. Now it's passed to my hands. If you truly have nowhere else to turn, perhaps you can try this token."
Elder Tianlong sighed, perhaps recalling that unbearable history, his eyes dim with sorrow.
"Thank you, Grandpa Tianlong, but is it really okay to give such an important thing to me?" Lin Feng looked at him, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Hehe, the Spirit Hall has been destroyed for ten thousand years. This thing is useless to me. Giving it to you might have unexpected effects." Elder Tianlong waved his hand, saying it didn't matter.
Lin Feng nodded and didn't refuse further, putting it into his spirit tool storage and storing it carefully.
"The road ahead is long and arduous. Xiao Feng, take care on your journey!"
Elder Tianlong patted his head, his voice tinged with reluctance. Five years of master-disciple relationship, now suddenly giving parting words, not knowing what to say.
"Mm, Grandpa Tianlong, you take care too." Lin Feng took a deep breath, a look of reluctance also appearing on his face.
Seeing that the time was about right, Lin Feng suppressed his sad emotions, pulled Nan Qiuqiu into the carriage. Before leaving, Lin Feng poked his head out and waved at the two:
"Mom, Grandpa Tianlong, take care!"
The carriage drove out onto the bluestone road, heading into the distance.
...
Heaven Dou City, Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy.
"After going in, you must study obediently. Your talent isn't bad; it's just that you're too playful. You're still only a Spirit Grandmaster!"
Lin Feng reached out and knocked on her head, saying with a smile.
"I know, Brother Lin Feng. Then when can you come to see me next time?" Nan Qiuqiu rubbed her head, looking at him with a pitiful expression.
"Depends on the situation. In a few months, or at most half a year, I'll come to see you." Lin Feng thought for a moment and said slowly.
"That long?" Nan Qiuqiu looked troubled.
"You think I'm going out to play? I'm training on the continent, going to many places, meeting the geniuses of the continent, and I have to go very far..." Lin Feng sighed helplessly, smiling and scolding.
"The Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy has many geniuses too. Why not study here with me? That way we can be together every day!"
Nan Qiuqiu stuck out her tongue, a mischievous look appearing on her face.
Lin Feng shook his head and said seriously: "This is my path. A young eagle cannot fly without leaving its mother's wings."
"Qiuqiu, promise me, when I see you next time, I hope you have become a powerhouse capable of standing on your own."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, a sincere smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and turned to leave.
Watching his back as he turned to leave, the thread in Nan Qiuqiu's heart snapped, and her face became a river of tears.
She knew that after this parting, she didn't know when they would meet again.
"Brother Lin Feng, take care on your journey!"
Nan Qiuqiu stared foolishly at Lin Feng's receding back, murmuring.
...
Half a month later, outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Calculating the time, it should be today, right?"
Lin Feng sat on a large tree branch, took a bite of the wild fruit in his hand, and stared quietly at the largest main road leading to the Star Dou Great Forest, thinking silently.
Not far in front of him, there was a sign marking the Star Dou Great Forest.
Just then, a black dot walked over from not far away.
Lin Feng's spirit jolted. He tossed the unfinished wild fruit in his hand, stood up, and looked into the distance.
It was a young boy about 1.5 meters tall, dressed very simply, with a cloth bag on his back, his eyes shining.
"He's here!"
A look of joy appeared on Lin Feng's face. He crouched on the tree, hiding his figure, waiting for Huo Yuhao to arrive.
A few minutes later, Huo Yuhao arrived under the sign.
Looking at the words "Star Dou Great Forest" written on it, Huo Yuhao shook the bag on his back, a look of excitement appearing on his tired little face.
"Star Dou Great Forest, I'm here!"
After saying that, he plunged into the dense jungle.
Lin Feng jumped down from the ten-meter-high tree trunk, mobilized the Soul Power in his body, and quietly followed behind Huo Yuhao.
Soon, "Huo-cheat" encountered the first and greatest opponent of his life: the Wind Baboon, the "almost-god-slayer"!
It was a brownish-yellow baboon about one meter tall, with brown eyes, unusually long arms, and exposed canine teeth.
Lin Feng hid quietly on the side, watching the human and beast fight together, his heart calm.
Although Huo Yuhao was being one-sidedly beaten, fortunately, he was holding the "White Tiger Dagger," so even if he was attacked a few times, he could still fight back.
At the same time, the Wind Baboon was also provoked into ferocity. A mouthful of white light sprayed out from its mouth, flying straight toward Huo Yuhao.
Between life and death, Huo Yuhao held the White Tiger Dagger in front of his chest and stretched it forward, just in time to meet that white light.
The White Tiger Dagger absorbed the light ball, a blade of light flew out instantly and struck the Wind Baboon. Its body stiffened, and it fell down suddenly, while Huo Yuhao was also thrown away, hitting a tree.
Lin Feng yawned boredly. The combat awareness and physical fitness were too poor. The Luck was truly Heaven-Defying; he started so much later than others but could still catch up from behind.
Just then, the ground not far away suddenly cracked. Lin Feng widened his eyes; the Luck started to work!
"Finally, I've met a human with mental attributes. It's a pity I can't cry, otherwise, I would definitely be tearful!"
A large white-gold worm suddenly drilled out from the cracked ground. The icy cold air instantly caused the surrounding flowers and trees to be coated with a layer of frost.
"Wow! What a big maggot!" Lin Feng sighed in his heart.
Before long, the ten rings on the Skydream Iceworm's body began to rhythmically pulse. It pressed its forehead against Huo Yuhao's forehead, and its whole body turned into a beam of white light, surging into his body.
An invisible Mental Energy also swept out. Lin Feng instantly summoned the Shadow Demon Scythe and released a layer of black mist to isolate the mental fluctuations.
Just then, the sky, which had been clear a moment ago, instantly darkened. A pressure that made people unable to breathe descended from the sky.
Strands of divine light shot out, mysterious power circulated, terrifying beyond measure!
Lin Feng was extremely excited. The Electrolux he had been looking forward to for so long finally appeared. The Divine Sense grandfather, light and dark magic, undead half-plane—there were too many Opportunities!
"Holding the sun, moon, and stars in my hand, there is no one in the world like me!"
A very blurred shadow appeared in the air, the old voice emanating supreme majesty.
The Skydream Iceworm, which was in the middle of fusing with Huo Yuhao, was startled. Its two small golden eyes rolled upward, and a look of horror immediately appeared in its eyes.
A gray air current descended from the sky as if it had encountered a huge suction force. Lin Feng's eyes lit up instantly.
The Opportunity had arrived!
Shadow Demon Scythe, hook him for me!
On Lin Feng's right palm, the Shadow Demon Scythe was instantly summoned. A ball of black mist, thick to the extreme, enveloped the gray air current and flew back, carrying the fragment of Electrolux's Divine Sense.
Skydream Iceworm: "???"
When did this guy come over?
Lin Feng took the Shadow Demon Scythe back into his body, using the Spirit Beast Soul and blood energy he had hunted in the Far North to nourish the Origin of Electrolux's Divine Sense.
However, the power of the Divine Sense fragment was too pure; even using a small half of the Spirit Beast Soul only slightly enhanced Electrolux's Soul.
Yet Lin Feng didn't care. As long as his thinking didn't slide, there were always more solutions than difficulties.
Glancing at Huo Yuhao, who had fallen to the ground, Lin Feng mobilized his Soul Power and ran toward the interior of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Since Electrolux was already in hand, there was nothing to worry about now.
He could concentrate on hunting Spirit Beasts in the mixed zone for training!
