Spirit Hunting Forest?

Chapter 21

-----------

''Quest, huh...'' Lin Feng muttered while looking at the blue screen in front of him.

''It's been three days since I received quest,'' He added with a smile.

(Hmm, It wasn't that hard, I guess) He thought, but when he read that he can't receive help from his summons, a frown appears on his face.

It's not because he doesn't believe in his ability and strength, but rather because he still had internal injuries on his body.

(Well, It doesn't have a time limit, It should be okay, I guess) Lin Feng thought.

[Do you want to accept these quests]

[Y/N]

''Yes,'' Lin Feng answered with a smile as she and Aria walking into the inn.

(Two of them are waiting for us?) Lin Feng thought as he can see Yun Ling and Yun Xi are sitting on the counter while eating their breakfast.

''Talking about breakfast...'' Lin Feng muttered, ''I never eat from noon yesterday.''

Meanwhile, Yun Ling and Yun Xi are still eating their breakfast while chatting with each other until Lin Feng and Aria enters the inn.

(Hmm, He's here?) Yun Ling thought while taking a spoon of warm porridge into her mouth.

''That was fast...'' She commented as her eyes averted toward Aria, who is calmly standing behind Lin Feng.

(Spirit King) She thought while trying to calm herself down as she can't defeat Aria and don't want to create a problem.

''Oh, you're already done?'' Yun Ling said with a smile.

''How was it?'' She asked.

''Err, It was enjoyable...'' Lin Feng awkwardly replied as he still remembers Aria washing his back.

''So, want a breakfast?'' She proposed with a smile while suddenly feels an intense glare from Aria.

(What, Did I do something that irritates her?) She thought with a little cold.

''...Nah, It's okay,'' Lin Feng rejected with a smile, ''Aria already cook something for me.''

''I see...'' Yun Ling nodded her head while avoiding eye contact with Aria, and silently muttered, ''So, that's why she irritated when I offered a breakfast for Lin Feng.''

''Then, see you again,'' Lin Feng said with a smile while walking to the second floor as Aria is following him.

(Phew~ Safe!) Yun Ling thought.

Meanwhile, on the way to the rented room, Lin Feng asked, ''By the way, what did you cook for me?''

''Steak...'' Aria replied with a poker face.

(Uh, Steak for breakfast?) Lin Feng thought with a wry smile.

''Well, the meat from a one-horned cow is full of nutrition and spirit energy,'' He muttered.

''It should help me to recover my body strength and soul power, even though just a little.'' He added with a nod.

Arrived at the room, Aria then takes a plate as she served a steak to Lin Feng.

Even though they had left for almost half an hour, the steak is still warm and oozing a meaty juice.

''Hmm, I don't see anything special from this steak,'' Lin Feng muttered while looking at Aria's steak, which three filet mignons with medium-rare doneness.

''But, the taste is number one...'' He added while taking a slice of the steak and placing it in his mouth.

''...'' Aria stared at Lin Feng.

''Delicious...''

''This steak is delicious!'' Lin Feng said with a satisfied smile.

Lin Feng then starts to eat the steak, and after he is completely demolishing the steak.

Lin Feng smiled and said, ''That was good!''

''Un,'' Aria nodded, ''I do my best.''

Lin Feng laughed when he heard Aria's response while she is tilting her head in confusion.

''Hahaha, I lucky enough to summon a maid like this...'' He laughed while shaking his head.

''Hmm, It's already noon?'' He muttered as he walked toward the window.

''Training...''

''I still had an external spirit bone and wind thunder sword art, right?''

''Hmm, Grey.''

[Affirmative]

''I want to fuse this external spirit bone into my body...'' He said while taking claw bone from his inventory.

[Ding]

[Do you want to fuse silver wolf claw into your body!]

[Y/N]

''Yes,'' Lin Feng responded as the bone claw on his palm floating while releasing a white light and entering his right hand.

[Fusing external spirit bone with host body]

[Fusing...]

[...]

''Hmm, I feel a little tickle around my fingers...'' Lin Feng muttered.

[The fusion was successful!]

''It's done?'' Lin Feng tilted his head as he stared at his right hand while don't feel any difference.

''How do I use it?'' He asked.

[Flow your spirit power to your right hand and channel it to your fingers]

''Hmm, flowing my spirit power to my right hand...'' He muttered with a frown as he tried to control his spirit power toward his right hand.

(After that, I should channel it to my finger?) He thought while rushing his spirit power to his fingers.

''This is external spirit bone after got fused, eh?'' He said in surprise as long silver blade-like claws appear from each of his fingertip.

(These blade-like claws are like a part of my finger) Lin Feng thought with a smile on his face.

''Eh?'' Lin Feng yelped in surprise as his spirit power reduced drastically and the silver claw disappears from his finger.

[Your spirit power is weak, Host]

[Even though you able to absorb this spirit bone with my help, you need enough spirit power to maintain it]

[So, you can't use Annihilating claws until you reach level 5]

''So, I absorb it, but can't use it, sigh.''

''I can only maintain it for a few seconds, and it disappears.'' Lin Feng wryly muttered.

''Then what about wind thunder sword art?''

[Ding]

[Do you want to learn WindThunder Sword Art]

[Y/N]

''Yes,'' Lin Feng nodded.

Knowledge of wind thunder sword art appears on his mind, and after a few seconds, a frown appears on his face.

''This sword art...'' Lin Feng muttered.

[You have learned WindThunder Sword Art]

''Should I go back to the star dou forest?'' He muttered while looking at the window.

''Aria, let's go to the first floor...''

''Un.''

Two of them walked toward the first floor and found Yun Ling with a few people at the same age as her laughing.

''Hmm?''

''Oh, It's you...'' Yun Ling said as she can see Lin Feng walking on the stair.

''Do you want to go somewhere?'' Lin Feng asked because Yun Ling is already wearing leather armor like she wants to fight something.

''It's my job.'' She replied with a smile.

''As an independent spirit master, we could hunt in spirit hunting forest and help someone gaining a spirit ring.''

''We also hunt a few spirit beasts and sell it to a noble as they love spirit beast meat, right!'' She shouted, making her friend cheering while laughing at the same time.

''Yeah!'' all of them replied.

''Spirit hunting forest?'' Lin Feng tilted his head.

''You don't go to the star dou forest?'' He asked.

''Star dou forest?'' Yun Ling frowned, ''That place is dangerous!''

''Spirit hunting forest is exclusive to the empire as they cultivate this forest. So, If someone needs a spirit ring, they can hunt it there.''

''But if you want to enter, you have to permission from heaven dou empire or spirit hall.''

''If you don't have the permission, you must pay one gold coin per person to enter.'' She stated, making Lin Feng a little interested.

(Hmm, Should I train there?) Lin Feng thought with a smile while thinking the spirit hunting forest is suitable for his training place.

''Where is the location of spirit hunting forest?'' He asked.

''Hmm, go the east gate, around 20 kilometers from here, you must rent a carriage if you want to go there.'' She replied.

''Why do you asking this?''

''Nothing...'' Lin Feng replied with a smile.

''Let's go, Aria!''

Lin Feng and Aria then walking toward the east gate, and their way, Aria's face is creating some problem, so she had to wear a veil.

Arrived at the east gate, they then walking out from nuoding city and entering a small forest.

''Kro!''

''Woof!'' Kro jumped out from thin air and landed in front of Lin Feng.

Aria's curiously staring at Kro and her eyes wandering through Kro's fur.

''Aria, can you lift me to Kro's back!'' He asked with a wry smile.

''Un,'' Aria nodded while hugging Lin Feng and jumping to Kro's back.

(Soft and Fluffy!) Lin Feng thought as he can feel Kro's fluffy fur and Aria's soft bosom.

(No, Focus!) Lin Feng thought while shaking his head.

''Kro,'' Lin Feng said while pointing his finger to the east, ''go to the east!''

''Woof!'' Kro growled and nodded his head.

Three of them then started their journey to the spirit hunting forest!
