However, these were all dreams!
It simply wasn't possible!
Because there was no System!!
He didn't even know where the System was, let alone how to call out to it and get a response!
"Ye Feng, what are you doing!"
Ye Feng had only just stopped.
Yu Xiaogang, from a hundred meters away, rushed over immediately, even faster than Su Bingtian!
And that old face of his was as green as a bronze that had been buried for a millennium!
"Master, I'm really tired, I can't take it anymore if this keeps on."
Ye Feng sat on the ground, his legs twitching uncontrollably.
He was too tired.
He bore pain and exhaustion beyond what someone of his age should endure.
If he were a real six- or seven-year-old, he would probably have thrown everything aside and run away by now.
It was only Ye Feng, having lived twice, who stubbornly endured and carried on!
"Teacher, I'm tired too, why don't we rest for a bit?"
Tang San said at that moment.
To be honest, he had looked down on Ye Feng before and was even unwilling to bother with the children in the village.
But just now, the other party had carried thirty pounds and walked such a long distance, three whole hours in the forest!
Even he found it somewhat daunting.
He had no idea how the kid kept going.
"Heh, no need, if you're tired we can just walk slower, but he can't stop. Since you followed me here expecting my protection, Yu Xiaogang, then you must pay the corresponding price!"
Yu Xiaogang said to Ye Feng.
Not giving him any face.
That gaze was as if he wanted to devour someone.
"Then, can I rest for two minutes before we go?"
Ye Feng asked.
He originally wanted to say, then I'll leave?
Like hell I want to stay here! Who needs your protection, you level twenty-something trash!
But reason told Ye Feng that he couldn't say that.
Because if he did, it would be the end of him.
Really leave?
Where could you go?
Right now, he was just a six- or seven-year-old child.
If he set out on his own, even a wild wolf could eat him up, let alone if he encountered a soul beast.
Don't think he's exaggerating; it's simply the truth.
So he bore the humiliation.
He wanted to grit his teeth and keep going!
Hoping the System would awaken!
"No way! Soldiers march on their stomachs; you go on ahead!"
Yu Xiaogang ordered Ye Feng.
"One minute! Master, just one minute!"
Ye Feng stretched out a finger.
A pleading look as he spoke.
"One minute? Alright then, I'll give you one minute!"
The master kicked Ye Feng squarely in the body.
Too tired to dodge, Ye Feng fell over immediately.
In an instant, all the white radishes and various supplies scattered on the ground.
"You!!"
Ye Feng never dreamed that the master would treat him this way.
"Heh, didn't you want one minute? Now I've given it to you, and if I turn around to see even one radish or item on the ground, I'll make you pay double! And don't even think about resting!"
The master sneered as he said this.
A mere village brat trying to play clever with him, Yu Xiaogang? This time he would simply torture the boy to death, letting the kid learn the consequences of defying him, Yu Xiaogang!
To become an apprentice?
With this attitude, you want to be my, Yu Xiaogang's, disciple?
To do chores?
I don't even want you for that!
Since you insisted on coming along, then you can't blame me for being ruthless!
"Teacher, what kind of Soul Ring are we going to look for?"
Tang San asked from the side.
He was helpless when it came to Ye Feng's situation.
```
Because he couldn't influence whether his teacher was right or not.
Moreover, his teacher must have had his reasons for acting this way; it definitely couldn't just be about simple abuse towards Ye Feng.
It might even be due to personal grievances of various kinds.
Probably, the teacher saw potential in Ye Feng and wanted to test him in this way, who knows?
"Soul Ring? If it's a Soul Ring, you have to find one that suits you."
At this moment, only the master began to spout what he called his theories.
He had an attitude shrouded in mystery.
Tang San listened on the side, half-understanding.
"Sigh…"
On the other side, after picking up the radishes that had fallen on the ground and some other supplies, Ye Feng set out with a sense of helplessness.
Without strength, where can one find human rights?
Once he turned his fate around, he would definitely take his revenge for the suffering he endured today!
Ye Feng swore!!
"This bamboo actually suits you well; it's resilient. Your Blue Silver Grass should also develop towards resilience and other similar traits."
Following the master's words, before making a move, one must prepare. Ye Feng was therefore forced to lead the way.
As for the master and Tang San, they were actually a bit tired from walking and took a rest of a full ten minutes before setting out.
On the way, the master introduced to Tang San.
"So do I need to kill this bamboo now?"
Hearing the master's words, Tang San asked with some confusion.
"No need, the age of this bamboo is still a bit young, by the looks of it, not even a hundred years old. I hope your first soul ring will be that of a hundred-year soul beast. If we really can't find a suitable one, then we'll come back to this bamboo," said the master to Tang San.
"Oh, okay."
Tang San nodded.
Anyway, he didn't understand these things, so he would just listen to his teacher.
Whatever the teacher said, that's what it would be.
He would follow the teacher's lead in everything.
"Let's go," the master called out to Tang San.
"Yeah, no idea where Ye Feng has gone. Let's hurry and catch up," Tang San nodded again.
Earlier it was Ye Feng lagging behind them.
But now, after resting, they couldn't even find his shadow.
"It doesn't matter; I gave him a map. If he gets lost, we'll catch up with him and give him a good scolding. What good is he, a six or seven-year-old, who can't even read a map properly!" said Yu Xiaogang casually.
From some point on, scolding Ye Feng seemed to become a very normal thing to him!
Ahead, Ye Feng's waist was already bent.
Sweat poured down like rain.
He even felt a bit dizzy.
The evening forest was exceedingly muggy!
Along the way, he once again cursed Yu Someone's eighteen generations of ancestors.
It was the only way he could vent.
Running over to Yu Xiaogang to curse? Reason told him that was too dangerous!
That would lead to a miserable death!
But to be treated like a beast of burden so harshly, if he had nowhere to vent, he would explode!
"Eh, what's that sound?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng heard rustling noises.
And the air was filled with an unpleasant odor.
It had a fishy stench.
The wind was blowing gently.
Ye Feng felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
As if something was moving towards him.
"Could it, could it be the Black Man-eater Snake?"
Ye Feng suddenly recalled a terrifying thought.
After the Child of Destiny, Tang San, entered the forest, a Datura snake came along to deliver a package.
His luck surely couldn't be that good, could it?
If his luck was really that good, why hadn't the System knocked on his door yet?
Ye Feng mustered his courage and took a step forward.
Suddenly, a black head popped up in the distant underbrush!!
