Douluo: Becoming a God by Relying on my Enemies

Oscar's sausages were highly effective for others but only retained a third of their potency when used on himself. As a result, his soul power consumption could only be replenished through meditation. However, the hunger-quelling properties of his sausages were still useful to him.

Zhao Wuji glanced around the group. Seeing that the seven youths were ready, he waved his hand.

"Move out."

This time, Zhao Wuji positioned Yun Feng at the front of the group while he himself took the rear guard, stepping into the Star Dou Forest first.

The most excited among them was Xiao Wu. She seemed utterly unfazed by the forest's dangers, hopping around with boundless energy. Her carefree attitude made Zhao Wuji frown, but since she remained within the designated range, he didn't say anything.

The terrain of the Star Dou Forest was incredibly complex, with no clear paths. Naturally, the task of clearing the way fell to Yun Feng.

Yun Feng quickly realized Zhao Wuji was using this as a form of subtle revenge.

What a petty man, Yun Feng thought to himself before speaking up.

"Teacher Zhao, I think we need to reconsider our positions in the formation."

Zhao Wuji, instantly wary of Yun Feng's mischief, replied gruffly, "You're the captain. You decide."

Taking the opportunity, Yun Feng turned to Tang San and said, "Tang San, your observation skills are the sharpest here. You should take the lead. I'll follow behind to protect you."

Tang San wasn't foolish. He immediately sensed something was off but couldn't pinpoint any specific issue. Resigned, he moved to the front.

It wasn't long before Tang San encountered the thorny undergrowth and realized Yun Feng's true intentions. With a twitch of his mouth, Tang San muttered to himself, So this is why he put me up front? Is this guy really this lazy?

Despite his frustration, Tang San took out his knife and began swiftly cutting through the brambles, ensuring the group's progress remained unimpeded.

Zhao Wuji watched the scene from the back and shook his head. This kid Yun Feng really won't suffer the slightest inconvenience.

The forest was dense and teeming with life, a place where wild spirit beasts reigned supreme. As the academy had taught, wild spirit beasts were far more aggressive and harbored deep hatred for humans who hunted them for spirit rings.

The most terrifying aspect of wild spirit beasts was their tendency to form groups. Encountering a cluster of powerful beasts was often a death sentence for most Spirit Masters unless they were exceptionally strong.

Fully aware of the risks, Yun Feng remained vigilant. Who knows what kind of formidable spirit beast might appear? he thought. Better to be cautious now than regret it later.

Before long, the group stumbled upon a cluster of spirit beasts. Yun Feng signaled for everyone to stop.

Tang San pushed aside some foliage and peered ahead. He whispered, "It's a group of Soft-Boned Rabbits. Did anyone bring seasoning? We can roast them. I'm starving!"

Xiao Wu, enraged, stormed over and pinched Tang San's arm hard.

"Tang San, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Only then did Tang San realize his mistake. Xiao Wu's martial spirit was a rabbit, and he had just suggested eating rabbits right in front of her.

Yun Feng chuckled at the scene and gestured for the group to take a detour. They quickly understood and began clearing a path to avoid the rabbits.

As they moved, Ma Hongjun whispered to Zhao Wuji, "Teacher Zhao, why are we avoiding them? Those Soft-Boned Rabbits weren't strong. We could've just killed them."

Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement but didn't respond immediately. Yun Feng overheard and decided to explain.

"First, Xiao Wu's martial spirit is a Soft-Boned Rabbit, so killing them wouldn't sit well with her. Second, they posed no threat to us, so why bother?

"If every Spirit Master hunted recklessly, how many spirit beasts would be left in a few decades?

"Lastly, even with weaker spirit beasts, engaging them could attract stronger ones due to the scent of blood and noise. It's better to be cautious."

Hearing this, the group nodded in agreement. Even Zhao Wuji couldn't find fault with Yun Feng's reasoning.

The Star Dou Forest was vast and dense, its towering canopy blocking out most sunlight. Traveling through it felt like venturing into perpetual twilight.

After an hour of trekking, they reached midday. They had encountered several spirit beasts along the way, mostly ten-year and hundred-year ones, which they either avoided or dealt with briefly when necessary.

"All right, let's take a break," Yun Feng announced, his voice a welcome reprieve for the group, who had been on edge.

Tang San cleared a hundred-square-meter area of undergrowth for them to rest. Everyone leaned against the trees, momentarily relaxing.

Oscar, ever diligent, handed out his sausages once more. At this point, no one cared about taste—filling their stomachs and restoring energy was all that mattered.

Yun Feng, as captain, ordered a one-hour rest. They were still in the forest's outer regions, where higher-level spirit beasts were rare, making it relatively safe.

Their goal was to help Oscar hunt a suitable thousand-year spirit beast, which required venturing deeper into the forest. As the danger increased, rest breaks would become more critical.

Moreover, Yun Feng needed to hunt a ten-thousand-year spirit beast for his own fourth spirit ring. Ensuring everyone

was in peak condition before delving into the forest's core was essential.
