Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

Thus, the first Feng-Wu battle came to an end.

After Dai Mubai left, Chen Feng and his group of five began searching for the Moon Fox.

According to the information provided by the master, the Moon Fox only appears at night and likes to absorb moonlight near the Moonstone.

Therefore, Chen Feng and his group need to find the Moonstone first, and then wait for the fox to come and wait for the moonstone at night to achieve their goal.

Unlike typical valleys, the Sand Gold Valley, though relatively wide, is not an empty space. Instead, it is dotted with thick, tall stone pillars, somewhat resembling the Thousand Needles from World of Warcraft.

Because the earth and gold elements are relatively active here, these stone pillars in the Gold Valley grow slowly like trees, and some unique minerals are formed in the process.

Therefore, the best way to find moonstone, this special mineral, is to carefully observe the base of those stone pillars. With a bit of luck, you might find something.

Unfortunately, Chen Feng and his group were not very lucky. They searched carefully for the base of the two stone pillars for half a day, until evening, but they couldn't even find a trace of the moonstone.

"I'm so tired, Master. How about we look again tomorrow?" Xiao Wu was the first to give up. She plopped down on a rock next to her and said pitifully.

The master was also somewhat tired. He looked at everyone and said:

"Alright, it's getting late. Finding ore at night isn't very efficient. Let's prepare food and lodging first, rest for the night, and continue tomorrow."

He took out the dry rations he had prepared beforehand from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Bright Moon and had Chen Feng distribute them. He also took out two tents and began to prepare a place for them to rest for the night.

"I only brought two tents, as usual, one for adults and one for children, and the two of us adults take turns keeping watch at night."

“Master, why don’t the three of us kids take the night watch? You and Brother Su, as our experts in knowledge and martial arts, should get some rest,” Chen Feng suddenly suggested.

It was obvious that he was giving Xiao Wu the freedom to move around so that she could condense her own soul ring.

“You are at a crucial stage of your growth, and you’ve never kept watch at night before, so let’s have the two of us adults do it,” the master said as he set up the tent.

“There’s a first time for everything. We’re in a gathering place for artificial soul beasts now, so it’s a good opportunity to get familiar with how to keep watch at night. That way, we won’t run into trouble later when we go to those forbidden zones because we don’t have any experience. Besides, we’re three people taking turns, so each person only has to keep watch for two or three hours. It shouldn’t be a big problem.” Chen Feng insisted on his idea.

Xiao Wu glanced at Chen Feng and chimed in, "Yes, Master, you have to give us a chance to practice. We promise we can keep watch well tonight."

“Master, we can do it,” Tang San said.

"Well... alright." After hesitating for a moment, the master finally agreed.

But he was still a little worried, so he began to teach Chen Feng and the other two the precautions for keeping watch at night, and even took out a few small paper packets to explain the function of the powder inside.

Su Yuntao then began setting up some simple warning traps around the area to prevent any soul beasts from approaching silently.

The camp was quickly set up, and Chen Feng and his group filled their stomachs with dry rations and water.

The two adults went into the tent to rest, while Tang San became the first night watchman and began his night watch.

Inside the tent, Chen Feng and Xiao Wu each huddled in the bedding provided by the master, with only their little heads sticking out.

Xiao Wu glanced at Chen Feng, who had his eyes closed, and whispered:

"Little...Brother Feng, why did you suggest that we take the night watch?"

"I already said it myself, it's all for the experience," Chen Feng replied without even opening his eyes.

"Oh..." Xiao Wu responded with some doubt.

Actually, she suspected that Chen Feng had seen through her true identity, and that his suggestion to keep watch at night was to make things easier for her.

But Xiao Wu felt that this idea was too absurd. A soul beast transformed into a human shouldn't be so easy to see through... right?

Xiao Wu still remembered her mother telling her that before level 70, only human Title Douluos could see through a Soul Beast's transformation into a human at a glance. Soul Douluos could sense the abnormality in the aura, but Soul Masters below that level could not sense anything was wrong.

Da Ming and Er Ming agreed with their mother's statement, as they had specifically instructed Xiao Wu on this matter before she came to the human world.

Chen Feng had only just become a Soul Master; there was no way he could have seen through Xiao Wu's situation.

Although he had made a slip of the tongue before, although he had helped Xiao Wu persuade Dai Mubai and the other two to leave, and although he suggested tonight that the three children keep watch, giving Xiao Wu some free time...

As she pondered, Xiao Wu suddenly became uncertain.

Did Chen Feng really not notice anything?

Mother and Da Ming and Er Ming both said that only Soul Masters above the Soul Douluo level could detect something was wrong, but what if there was an exception among humans?

Judging from the wisdom shown by Chen Feng, it's hard to say for sure, after all, geniuses always have something different from ordinary people.

However, Xiao Wu couldn't glean anything from Chen Feng's behavior, which left her completely uncertain.

Just as Xiao Wu was looking at Chen Feng, lost in thought, Chen Feng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her: "Why are you staring at me so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"Oh, go to sleep, go to sleep." Xiao Wu shrank her head and closed her eyes.

Chen Feng closed his eyes and began to rest. He knew that his previous performance had probably aroused Xiao Wu's suspicion, but he didn't care because it was only a matter of time.

He has made up his mind to promote the evolution of martial spirits in this world, so sooner or later he will attract the attention of those old men, and maybe one day a titled Douluo will come knocking on his door.

Therefore, it is necessary to reach an understanding with Xiao Wu as soon as possible, so that it will be easier to help her hide her identity later.

As for Chen Feng himself, he had been prepared for this for a long time.

His first protective shield was his reputation.

If he can one day attract the attention of those important figures, it means that his achievements have been influential enough, and at that time he will surely be famous.

However, even with fame as a protective charm, it can only guarantee Chen Feng's life safety, not his personal freedom.

Who knows, some unruly old man might come knocking on Chen Feng's door, forcing him to join his faction. In that case, Chen Feng will pull out his second layer of protection.

That is the Xingluo Dai family.

Chapter 26 Xiao Wu's Nighttime Operation

Yes, the Xingluo Dai family was the next family Chen Feng prepared for himself under unavoidable circumstances.

He had three purposes in befriending Dai Mubai and others.

The first purpose was because Zhu Zhuqing corresponds to the Kun hexagram, but her purity was not high enough, so Chen Feng gave her a push and helped her get out of the family predicament she was facing.

The second objective was to befriend the Dai family.

Davis was the crown prince whom everyone expected, and Dai Mubai was just a testing ground.

If Dai Mubai truly severs the connection between his martial soul and Zhu Zhuqing's, then he and Davis will no longer have a fundamental conflict.

If Davis were smart enough, he might even treat his brother Dai Mubai well.

Because no matter how you look at it, Dai Mubai took the initiative to make sacrifices and concessions, reducing Davis's troubles, and Davis needed to express his gratitude for this.

In this way, the factional struggles within the Xingluo Dai family will be greatly reduced, basically meeting the prerequisite for Chen Feng to join the force, namely, the faction is simple.

Of course, Chen Feng would not choose his faction so easily.

Just like a scumbag raising fish, Xingluo Daijia has only just entered his fishpond. Whether or not to choose this fish depends on future developments.

Chen Feng's third objective was actually the simplest: he felt sorry for Hu Mao and wanted to help them escape their cage.

In Chen Feng's view, the Star Luo royal family's tradition of dueling among heirs is actually quite ambiguous.

Because the standard for this kind of duel is clearly based on strength, that is, the strength of one's talent for cultivation.

If this were a selection of warriors, there would be no problem, but would selecting an emperor require considering cultivation talent?

Shouldn't we be looking at who understands the people's hearts better, who is more shameless, and who is better at distributing the interests of all parties?

Choosing an emperor based on the standards of warriors sounds utterly humorous.

Being an emperor is a demanding job, and if one wants to handle government affairs well, it's difficult to also cultivate oneself.

However, the Star Luo royal family insists on selecting a descendant with good cultivation talent and then placing him in a position where he has no time to cultivate. No wonder the Star Luo Dai family has not produced a titled Douluo for many years.

And yet they still have the audacity to compare the White Tiger to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex? Where do they get their confidence?

To be honest, Chen Feng couldn't understand what the Dai family ancestor was thinking when he set this rule. Was he drunk? And then came up with such a brainless rule on a whim?

What astonishing wisdom!

In short, Chen Feng's motives for befriending Dai Mubai and the others are multifaceted, but the most important one is to prepare for the future.

With the Xingluo Dai family as a shield, Chen Feng had the confidence to carry out his subsequent plans without being forcibly recruited by Lao Deng one day.

Chen Feng and Xiao Wu were each lost in their own thoughts and gradually drifted off to sleep. After a while, Tang San went into the tent.

His night watch is over, and it's time for Chen Feng to take over.

To avoid disturbing Xiao Wu, Tang San tiptoed to Chen Feng's side, woke him up, and then pointed outside.

Chen Feng nodded and quietly got up and left the tent.

His years of experience staying up all night in his previous life quickly brought him back to his senses, and he began to keep watch.

After a while, Chen Feng suddenly heard a slight noise behind him. He turned around and saw Xiao Wu walk out of the tent at that moment.

"It's not time yet," Chen Feng said in a low voice, somewhat puzzled.

He thought Xiao Wu would only make a move when she was on night duty, but he didn't expect her to come out at this time.

"I need to go to the restroom," Xiao Wu whispered, giving a reason that neither of them believed.

"Alright, go ahead then, be careful." Chen Feng nodded and said.

"Well, but it might take me a while, you know?" Xiao Wu said vaguely, looking at Chen Feng's expression.

She was testing him, trying to see if Chen Feng knew anything.

“I understand,” Chen Feng said with a knowing look. “I know all about girls’ things.”

"You know nothing!" Xiao Wu thought to herself, then turned and walked into the darkness without saying anything more.

After walking for a while and thinking that Chen Feng should be out of sight, she started running.

Xiao Wu originally planned to wait until she was on night duty before taking action, but then she thought, wouldn't that leave the camp completely unprepared?

If a spirit beast were to sneak in, there wouldn't even be anyone to warn them.

So Xiao Wu took advantage of Chen Feng's night watch to come out, because she always felt that Chen Feng seemed to know something, and thought she would take this opportunity to test him again, but unfortunately there was still no result.

Forget it, let's find the Moon Fox and condense our first soul ring first. Xiao Wu put her questions aside and focused on the task at hand.

As for Chen Feng, she planned to let things take their course.

It would be best if Chen Feng didn't discover her identity.

If Chen Feng had discovered this, he didn't choose to publicize it; instead, he continued to make things convenient for Xiao Wu.

In this situation, Xiao Wu felt that worrying was useless and she should continue to observe what Chen Feng was really thinking.

In short, the most urgent task is to obtain the first spirit ring and see if I can use it to embark on the so-called "glorious path of evolution".

In front of the camp, after Xiao Wu left, Chen Feng sat there quietly, attentively keeping watch over the night.

A moment later, he heard faint noises coming from behind him.

Chen Feng sighed softly, turned his head and looked, and sure enough, he saw Tang San coming out of the tent.

"Can't you sleep?" Chen Feng asked.

"Yes, I couldn't fall asleep after a while, so I got up and cultivated for a bit," Tang San nodded and said.

After obtaining his first spirit ring, the bottleneck in his Xuan Tian Gong disappeared, so he couldn't wait to start cultivating. He had no mind to sleep at all.

"Where did Xiao Wu go? I didn't see her when I got up to cultivate, and she didn't come back after I cultivated for a while," Tang San asked in confusion.

"She said she was going to the restroom and that it would take a while," Chen Feng relayed Xiao Wu's words verbatim.

"Uh... I see." Tang San looked a little embarrassed; he had thought something had happened to Xiao Wu.

"Then I'll wait for her with you. It seems like she's been gone for quite a while." Tang San sat down next to Chen Feng.

"They should be back soon," Chen Feng said somewhat uncertainly.

Judging from the original work, Xiao Wu should at least be able to see the target soul beast before she can condense her soul ring. It is still uncertain whether she needs to stay by the target soul beast's side indefinitely.

They didn't see a single hair of the Moon-Attracting Fox during the day, which clearly doesn't meet Xiao Wu's conditions for condensing her own soul ring. Therefore, Xiao Wu should be searching for the Moon-Attracting Fox right now.

As for how to find it, Chen Feng wasn't quite sure. The original story didn't mention it either. Perhaps the soul beasts that transformed into humans had some special methods.

Chapter 27 Clues to the Yin Sword

Chen Feng and Tang San didn't have to wait long before they heard a series of footsteps approaching from afar.

Upon hearing the sound, Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass.

The Blue Silver Grass had changed its appearance. Its branches had become much thicker, and its originally slender leaves had become wider and thicker. Moreover, it had several more leaves than before, which spread out in an umbrella shape around the Blue Silver Grass.
