Chapter 129 Almost Missed the Match
Wu Heyi was leisurely holding a brush, carefully applying sweet and delicious honey water to the fresh pieces of meat.
He patiently taught the large bear next to him how to control the heat and techniques for grilling meat.
Just then, without warning, a white shadow streaked across the sky and fell as swiftly as lightning.
Wu He looked closely and saw that it was a small, exquisite, and pure white pigeon that had fallen from the sky.
Upon seeing the jade dove, Wu Heyi immediately pictured Mi'er's charming and adorable face.
He clearly remembered that they had found and bought the jade dove by chance at a roadside stall when they first entered junior college.
This seemingly ordinary pigeon actually has a unique and magical function—as long as someone leaves their soul energy on it.
When another person who owns the pigeon activates it, it can transmit a 15-second voice message to the person who left behind the soul energy aura.
When Wu Heyi first witnessed this novel method of "carrier pigeons," he was amazed. So, he and Mi'er each bought one.
Moreover, these pigeons have a special feature: they can only be used once, and once their mission is complete, they will be automatically destroyed.
Wu Heyi originally thought that the sudden appearance of the pigeons would bring some earth-shattering event, so he couldn't wait to listen to the entire audio recording.
However, after listening, he merely narrowed his eyes slightly, gently patted his chest, and muttered to himself:
"So what if the elite tournament is about to start? It's nothing."
But the very next second before he finished speaking, an unprecedented sense of fear surged into his heart, as if the whole sky was about to collapse...
For the past two weeks, he and the rock-crushing bear have been engaged in a fierce battle almost every day.
In the beginning, Wu Heyi would always provoke the Stone Bear's anger first, and only after it used all its skills would the two of them fight.
However, this situation did not last long.
Less than ten days later, no matter how Wu Heyi tried to provoke and enrage the Stone Bear, it remained unmoved and resolutely refused to fight Wu Heyi again.
It should be noted that Wu Heyi had been fighting the Rock-Breaking Bear for a long time, and it was only with great difficulty that he had significantly improved his physical fitness.
The sudden loss of such a powerful opponent is tantamount to cutting off an important "source of income" for Wu Heyi.
Faced with such a predicament, Wu Heyi did not give up easily. After several days of careful observation, he came up with a plan and decided to have a serious talk with the Broken Stone Bear.
So, Wu Heyi mustered his courage and walked up to the Stone Bear, offering it an enticing condition:
As long as it's willing to continue fighting with itself every day, then Wu He Yi will take care of all the delicious honey from the tree.
At first, the Stone Bear was skeptical of Wu Heyi's suggestion. After all, snatching honey from a fierce swarm of bees was no easy task.
However, Wu Heyi has clearly made up his mind.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards the tree, completely ignoring the dense swarm of bees around him, and frantically snatched the honeycomb in an almost frenzied manner.
In the end, despite being covered in stings, Wu Heyi managed to obtain a honeycomb the size of a fist and deliver it to the Rock-Broken Bear.
Seeing that this brave and persistent human had actually kept his promise, the Rock-Breaking Bear was finally moved.
From that moment on, it began to fight with Wu Heyi every day.
Days passed by like this, and Wu Heyi was so engrossed in his life that he completely forgot about the passage of time.
On such an afternoon, as the sun gradually set in the west, Wu Heyi received the jade dove and suddenly realized that a long time had passed.
He reluctantly put down the fragrant barbecue skewers in his hand and then walked over to Xiong Da.
Looking at Xiong Da's honest and adorable appearance, Wu Heyi took a deep breath and slowly began to explain the current situation to it, indicating that he might have to leave.
If we could turn back time to a month ago, Xiong Da might have been eagerly anticipating Wu Heyi's departure.
However, at this moment, Wu Heyi not only taught Xiong Da the skills of artificial beekeeping, but also taught him how to make delicious barbecue.
These experiences made Xiong Da develop deep feelings for Wu Heyi, and deep down he didn't even want him to leave.
But reality is often cruel and merciless. Despite his reluctance, Wu Heyi knew that he had to set off now, otherwise he might really miss that crucial competition.
Thinking of this, Wu Heyi's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.
Finally, Wu Heyi steeled himself and bid farewell to Xiong Da. The scene was truly moving, as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Xiong Da also looked reluctant to part with Wu Heyi as he walked away into the distance.
After Wu Heyi turned and left, he began to leap and dart through the woods like lightning.
He was as light as a swallow and as agile as a nimble monkey. Before long, Wu Heyi could see the vast territory occupied by Daming and Erming in the distance.
After some inquiries, it turned out that a month earlier, just one or two days after Wu Heyi left, Tang San and Xiao Wu had also embarked on their journey and set off.
What's even more surprising is that they are said to have been fortunate enough to obtain a brand new spirit ring during their journey, which must have greatly enhanced their strength.
When Wu Heyi heard the news about those two people, his anger was instantly ignited, and he became indignant.
You have to understand, just a month ago, he had a thrilling life-or-death battle with that ferocious rock-breaking bear!
That battle was earth-shattering and earth-shaking. How could those two guys be completely unaware of such a huge commotion?
However, to Wu Heyi's utter anger and disappointment, the two men left without even saying goodbye, abandoning him like that.
Thinking of this, Wu Heyi gritted his teeth in anger, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
However, despite being filled with anger, Wu Heyi clearly realized that getting angry would not solve the problem.
The most urgent thing right now is to leave this perilous Soul Beast Forest as soon as possible.
After all, a full month and a half has passed since he left the academy. If he doesn't act quickly, he might miss the important competition.
Wu Heyi quickly took out the mainland map he carried with him and carefully compared it with the position of the sun to determine his location.
After careful research and calculation, he was surprised to find that if he chose to return to the school first and then go to Wuhun City, he would be better off.
Even if there are no obstacles along the way, it will still take at least a month to reach the destination.
This means they will undoubtedly miss the game.
However, the situation might be different if we head directly towards Wuhun City.
According to current estimates, it will take a maximum of about 20 days to reach Wuhun City.
Moreover, according to the competition schedule, the final stage should not have been reached at that time.
After taking all factors into consideration, Wu Heyi decisively decided to abandon the roundabout route back to school and instead choose a faster route that goes directly to Wuhun City.
After careful calculation, Wu Heyi decisively changed his original plan to leave the forest.
He held the precious map in his hands, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at the route depicted, silently reciting in his mind:
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line!
It's as if they've found a shortcut to success.
However, Wu Heyi's journey through this vast and perilous Soul Beast Forest was not without its challenges and dangers.
During this time, he encountered countless dangers and challenges, but he always managed to escape unscathed.
All of this is thanks to his mysterious and powerful Earth Tiger Armor.
Whenever facing vicious enemies or exceptionally ferocious soul beasts, Wu Heyi would summon the Earth Tiger Armor without hesitation.
This armor seems to have a mysterious connection with the earth. As long as Wu Heyi's feet are firmly planted on solid ground, he can continuously draw endless energy from the earth and quickly replenish himself.
With this unique advantage, Wu Heyi was virtually invincible when he stood on the ground.
Even those powerful soul beasts with fifty or sixty thousand years of cultivation are no match for him. Often, he only needs to swing a sharp blade to knock these behemoths to the ground.
Time flies like an arrow, and eighteen days have passed in the blink of an eye.
After enduring countless hardships, Wu Heyi finally arrived at the towering gate of Wuhun City, dressed in tattered and patched clothes, his steps faltering.
Unfortunately, his tattered clothes were simply too shabby.
So much so that the guards of Wuhun City mistook him for a pitiful beggar and ruthlessly stopped him.
