Divine-level Base Chapter 41: Exploration

"How many Summoned Beasts do you have left? Can they still stand guard and fight?"

Ding Xiaoxue dragged her exhausted body over to Shu Feng and said, "I need to rest. I can recover eighty percent of my combat power after four hours. After thirty minutes of rest, I can get back forty to fifty percent and can take a watch."

Keeping watch was crucial. If no one stood guard, a few Black Dog Void Demons or other monsters could easily sneak into the cave under the cover of darkness and kill everyone there.

Shu Feng said, "I have four Summoned Beasts left. They still have about forty to fifty percent of their strength, so they can handle guard duty. You get so rest. I’ll wake you if I need you."

"Okay!"

Just like that, Ding Xiaoxue lay down beside Shu Feng without any guard, nestling into a pile of leaves and hay, and fell into a deep sleep.

"I’ll claim a spot here too!"

Zhuo Qianlei ca over carrying a pile of leaves and hay, which she spread out next to Ding Xiaoxue.

The three other girls, Wang Lu, Zhong Jietong, and Cui Jing, also ca over with arms full of hay and leaves.

Wang Lu, acting cheerful and open, smiled sweetly. "Shu Feng, old classmate, you won’t mind if we claim a spot here, right?"

Cui Jing stared at Shu Feng with her big, watery eyes, looking pitiful as if terrified he would refuse.

Eight students from Class 53 had gone out to scout, and not a single one had returned. Combined with the students who had died earlier, a total of over seventy had t a tragic end in this world. Only by staying near powerful people like Shu Feng and Ding Xiaoxue could they feel protected and have a better chance of survival.

Shu Feng said, "Of course not."

"Ah Feng, what about ? You wouldn’t refuse your dear best friend, would you?"

Linga walked over with his own bundle of hay and leaves, his eyes sweeping over the pretty girls nearby as he spoke with a grin.

Shu Feng pointed to a pile of grass to the side. "We’ll sleep over there. Let’s leave this spot for the girls."

Linga chuckled, quickly spread out his grass bed, and hopped onto it. His gaze kept darting toward pretty girls like Cui Jing and Wang Lu.

Pei Caiyi also ca over with a pile of hay and leaves. Looking pitiful, she pleaded in a soft voice, "Shu Feng, I’m a little scared. C-Can I sleep over here?"

Shu Feng said, "Sure. You can sleep on the girls’ side."

Pei Caiyi smiled sweetly and walked over. "Thank you!"

After Pei Caiyi, a few other pretty girls also pleaded softly and got Shu Feng’s permission, bringing their makeshift beds to sleep near Ding Xiaoxue and the others.

Linga asked with an expectant look, "Shu Feng, can I beco as strong as you and Ding Xiaoxue?"

Shu Feng asked, "What’s your Profession?"

Linga replied dejectedly, "Villager!"

Shu Feng said, "I’ll help you get to Level 10 Villager. If we can find a Skill Divine Hall in this world, you can change your Profession and beco another type of Professional, gaining all sorts of Skills."

Linga asked eagerly, "Then can I train to beco stronger?"

Shu Feng said, "Only if you can change your Profession to beco a Professional will you have a chance to train and get stronger."

Shu Feng had learned from the various information provided by the [Guardian Fla] that aside from Top-Level Magic Potions from the Gulondo World or certain top-grade Spirit Pills from the Black Tortoise Realm, the most cost-effective way to beco a Spiritualist was to go to the Andoras World and beco a Professional Skill User.

Heirs of major consortiums who failed to awaken a Spiritual Ability would spend a fortune to hire Spiritualists to take them to an Erosion Realm. From there, they would cross into the Andoras World and, with the help of those Spiritualists, enter a Divine Hall of Advancent to change their Profession and beco a Professional Skill User.

Once those heirs beca Professional Skill Users and returned to Blue Star, they could beco Spirit Warrior Apprentices and begin their evolutionary path as a Spiritualist.

Of course, whether it was hiring Spiritualists or changing Professions in a Divine Hall of Advancent, it all required a massive amount of money. You couldn’t even think about it without tens of millions. If the advancent quest was difficult, the cost could easily exceed a hundred million.

Linga silently resolved in his heart, ’I will definitely beco a Professional!’

Throughout the night, Shu Feng got up several tis to recall the Goblin Leader and Big Black into his Base Space, using resources to heal their injuries. He also sent out a newly synthesized Black Dog Void Demon to stand guard.

「The next morning, at the cave entrance.」

Shu Feng clapped his hands lightly, and two Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demons, thirty-two ordinary Black Dog Void Demons, and seven Big Goblins erged from the nearby bushes.

Shu Feng had mobilized his resources and finally evolved Big Black, his first Black Dog Void Demon, into a Spirit Warrior-level Void Demon.

Ding Xiaoxue walked out of the cave and ca to Shu Feng’s side. Her beautiful eyes flashed with shock as she looked at the Black Dog Void Demon legion. "So this is your Summoned Beast Corps?" she marveled. "It’s gotten even stronger! Your awakened Spiritual Ability is incredible!"

If Ding Xiaoxue were to face that Black Dog Void Demon legion without fleeing, she would be torn to shreds.

Shu Feng said, "I’m going to go explore. Can you stay behind to protect them and help build the camp?"

"Okay!"

Ding Xiaoxue gave a radiant smile, then sighed softly. "To be honest, I wanted to go exploring with you."

Ding Xiaoxue loved adventure and battle. But she and Shu Feng were the two Spiritualists who ford the core of the group’s strength. Without her there to hold down the fort, the group’s morale would be unstable, and there was no telling what might happen.

Ding Xiaoxue said, "Shu Feng, take a few of the Celestial Favorers with you. Train them up. And leave a few Summoned Beasts with us."

Shu Feng turned his head toward the Celestial Favorers and said flatly, "Who among you is willing to go exploring with ? I’ll say this upfront: the Andoras World is fraught with danger. Even I can’t guarantee your safety. If you co with , you could lose your life."

Only seven of the ten Celestial Favorers were left now; three had been killed in the surprise attack by the Black Dog Void Demon Group.

"I’ll go!"

Zhong Jietong stepped forward decisively, a fierce fla burning in her beautiful eyes. She wanted to get stronger, and staying behind would never give her that chance.

"I’ll go too!"

Zhuo Qianlei also stepped forward.

"I’ll go!"

After a mont’s hesitation, Zou Qiang also stepped forward.

"I’ll go!"

Liu Zhen stepped out without hesitation, his gaze landing on Zhuo Qianlei with a faint glimr of admiration.

The remaining three Celestial Favorers hesitated for a mont before lowering their heads in silence. The cruelty of the Andoras World had already been laid bare before them—nearly eighty people had died on the very first day. Who knew what terrifying monsters lurked in that dense forest? They had no desire to throw their lives away.

Linga gritted his teeth and also stepped forward, a resolute look in his eyes. "Ah Feng, I’ll go with you too!"

Shu Feng frowned slightly, then nodded.
