Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 235 Hunting
"Ugh"

Ke Ke sighed and said, "You know, Sister Ju Zi has joined the army. There is almost no possibility for you two to be together."

Zi Mu's expression froze, but he didn't refute anything.

Even though Zimu has realized this future, he is the first person to care about it, so he can't let it go for a while.

"I have applied for early graduation," Keke said suddenly.

"I plan to go find her. Orange is alone in the army. Even if she has a backer, she will probably be under a lot of pressure. I can help Sister Orange with me."

Huo Yuhao, who was watching the show, moved his ears slightly.

Keke, Orange.
It seems that when these two people were on vacation a year later, they went to encircle and suppress the rebels but were counter-encircled and suppressed?
Do you need help?

After thinking about how he gets along with Orange, Huo Yuhao and Orange actually have almost no communication except in the laboratory.

But if Orange were alive, it would probably cause a lot of trouble to Dai Hao's cheap father, right?

"coward……"

Seeing that Zi Mu kept his head down and didn't say anything, Ke Ke muttered something in a low voice and then stopped talking to Zi Mu about oranges.

As Orange's good friend and bestie, Keke actually really hopes that Orange has a lover, so that she can at least get over the hatred.

However, the most promising suitor at the moment is a coward. He talks big but becomes afraid when he is asked to abandon his roots in Mingde Hall and join the army so that he can be closer to Juzi.

It is impossible for such a person to help Orange get out of the shadow of the past.

After eating and drinking, the three of them set off again. They flew for another two hours on and off, covering more than 600 kilometers, and finally arrived at the edge of the Jingyang Mountains before it was completely dark.

"The Jingyang Mountains are the fifth largest gathering place for soul beasts in the entire continent and the largest in the Sun-Moon Empire. The rich mineral resources buried in them have nurtured unique soul beasts. If you were to ask where in the Sun-Moon Empire you could find a soul beast with spiritual attributes that suits you, besides the Evil Eye Forest, which ranks sixth in the Sun-Moon Empire, the Jingyang Mountains would be the most likely place."

Looking at the endless mountains and forests in the distance, Ke Ke took the initiative to introduce the situation of the Jingyang Mountains to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao nodded to show that he was listening.

"Well, that branch is our main target this time,"

Ke Ke took out a map and pointed to a ridge in the distance with the help of the setting sun:

"According to the school's information, a special spiritual mineral vein was discovered there. Our route is to follow that ridge toward the main peak until we reach the edge of the main peak. Regardless of whether we find a suitable soul beast, we must return directly."

The entire Jingyang Mountain Range is like a spider, with eight branches like eight legs guarding the core main peak area. The main peak is not only rich in minerals and soul beast resources, but there may be more than one hundred thousand year old soul beasts. With their team with the most soul kings, they can only wander around the periphery of the main peak. Once they go deep into the mountain, they will be targeted by soul beasts that are more than tens of thousands of years old, and it is very likely that they will be doomed.

After a whole day's journey, the night when the soul beasts were active was approaching, so the three of them naturally chose to rest outside for a night, and did not officially set foot in the Jingyang Mountains until the next morning.

And Huo Yuhao finally saw this experimental project.

"This is really what it is. What is this? Is it the convergence of the world line?"

Looking at the strange soul guide in front of him, Huo Yuhao didn't know why he immediately thought of Dr. Zombie King in his previous life's Zombie Plant 2.

A big iron ball with six mechanical legs on top, this picture is really strange.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had been looking at the soul guide in front of him, Ke Ke took the initiative to introduce it: "Teacher Xuan gave it a name, called the all-terrain detection soul guide. Seeing its six legs..."

After hearing Ke Ke’s introduction, Huo Yuhao really found it hard to accept the value of this thing.

Perhaps influenced by the technology tree of his previous life, Huo Yuhao's way of dealing with complex terrain is to build bridges across water and cut through mountains, or if that doesn't work, build roads. He cannot understand why he would spend more energy and use lower efficiency just to have a mobile fortress in complex terrain in the wild.

In Huo Yuhao's opinion, the only valuable thing about the entire soul guide device is the control technology of the six robotic arms. Its application prospects are relatively broad, but the soul guide device itself is rubbish.

You should know that even Ke Ke, who is also a fifth-level soul engineer, can only activate this soul guide device based on a fifth-level core magic array for half an hour.

Moreover, even with such a huge consumption, it is not yet a complete form. Currently, it only has movement and defense functions, and other functions have not been developed. Moreover, its speed is touching, probably about the same speed as Huo Yuhao's full running speed.

but……

How did Mingdetang manage to accurately control these six mechanical legs divided into three sections without using any mechanical structure and relying solely on the soul guide array?
Huo Yuhao wanted to investigate, but the key structure was covered by a shielding formation, and Huo Yuhao’s mental detection was unable to detect much information.

Hmm? There seems to be some movement ahead?
Less than two hours after entering the forest, Huo Yuhao, who was constantly scanning nearby information with the help of mental detection, soon discovered that there was a lot of movement not far ahead.

Is that the wolf pack?
Huo Yuhao extended his mental detection in the direction where he had just detected the noise, reducing the detection distance in exchange for a more detailed detection effect, hoping to see clearly what was happening in the distance that could cause such a big commotion.

However, before it could get close, a silver wolf suddenly broke into the detection range and came in front of the all-terrain soul guide device in a few breaths. It stared at the all-terrain detection soul guide device vigilantly and made a low "woooo" sound from its mouth, as if in protest.

Seeing the figure in front of her clearly, Ke Ke's eyes lit up: "It's a silver wolf, a rare soul beast! Judging from its size, it should have cultivated for about three thousand years. Zimu, you continue to drive, I will deal with it."

As she spoke, Ke Ke summoned a cannon and was about to jump off the all-terrain detection soul guide to fight a decisive battle with the Silver Wolf.

Huo Yuhao suddenly said, “Keke, you guys should leave first. There is a lot of commotion ahead. I plan to go investigate alone.”

"Huh?" Ke Ke looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion.

"My martial soul is the Spirit Eye, and one of my soul skills is specifically responsible for reconnaissance. I vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a lot of movement ahead. It seems that the wolves are fighting with something."

There was a golden light flashing in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he stared into the distance.

Although he failed to detect the situation on the main battlefield, Huo Yuhao still captured the pack of golden wolves surrounding the edge. Huo Yuhao planned to go and take a look at the situation and take this opportunity to get rid of the two people's sight.

"The silver wolf in front of me is the pawn responsible for guarding the periphery to prevent outside forces from interfering with the wolf pack's hunting. I plan to use my stealth ability to go in and take a look. Maybe I can get some benefits."

Ke Ke frowned and said, "That won't do. Teacher Xuan has told us to assist you in hunting the fourth spirit ring. How can we let you take the risk alone? Besides, are you sure that your stealth ability can hide from the wolves' keen sense of smell?"

"Of course, I won't joke about my life."

Huo Yuhao said seriously, while throwing out the difficulties ahead, trying to get the two to back off: "There are at least two or three ten thousand year old spirit beasts and a pack of golden wolves ahead. If it's just me, I can still survive, but if you guys come along, it may not be possible."

"What?! Two or three ten thousand year old soul beasts..." As soon as Zi Mu heard the news, he began to retreat.

Are you kidding? Even among Shrek's group of perverted soul kings, not every one of them has the strength to fight against a ten thousand year soul beast alone, let alone the group of useless soul kings from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Even if they have more advanced soul guides, the Golden Wolf, which has to eat metal to advance, is already one of the stronger ones at the same level, and its defensive capabilities are also much stronger.

Zi Mu was silent for a while, then said, “Ke Ke, why don’t we go first? Huo Yuhao is a Shrek genius after all, so he must have some hidden tricks that we don’t want him to know. If we stay here, Huo Yuhao will only feel uncomfortable.”

"This"

Ke Ke looked at Huo Yuhao who was eager to try, and Zi Mu who was thinking of backing out. She finally sighed and said to Huo Yuhao, “In that case, we’ll leave first. You should be careful. If it doesn’t work out, back out immediately.”

As she spoke, Ke Ke took out a map and threw it to Huo Yuhao.

"Zi Mu and I will return to the rest area below after testing the soul guide nearby. In addition, there are military teams stationed here and here. If necessary, you can reveal your identity as a student and seek shelter."

Although Keke could not give Huo Yuhao the confidential map for internal use, she still pointed out two military observation points for Huo Yuhao on the civilian map.

"Thanks."

Huo Yuhao did not refuse. He put the map away and came to the exit of the soul guide detection door.

"If I'm not out within a week, you can go back to the academy and don't have to wait for me."

"Hey!"

Ke Ke wanted to say something, but Huo Yuhao had already opened the warehouse door and disappeared in a flash.

"This guy!"

Seeing the silver wolves surrounding outside becoming more and more impatient, Ke Ke quickly controlled the all-terrain detection soul guide to retreat.

Just kidding, they are not afraid of a silver wolf, but the key is that Huo Yuhao said in person that there is a group of golden wolves not far away. If they are entangled, they can only activate the emergency escape module.

Seeing the strange big iron lump in front of him gradually disappear from sight, the Silver Wolf relaxed his guard and sniffed the air gently to make sure there was nothing else nearby that shouldn't be there.

Huo Yuhao, who was hiding aside, was watching this scene nervously.

It was not until the silver wolf ignored Huo Yuhao's existence and rushed away that Huo Yuhao let out a deep breath.

The essence of the second soul skill simulation is to manipulate the space within a certain range, thereby causing space distortion, distorting light, and forming an illusion, but the effect of hiding smells has always been not very good.

The solution Huo Yuhao came up with was to strengthen the micro-manipulation of space distortion so that the surrounding air would be confined within a certain range and the smell would not be able to spread.

However, in order to prevent the confinement of the air and the spatial distortion required by the illusion itself from conflicting with each other, Huo Yuhao tried for a long time, and only managed to complete it after a period of deep meditation some time ago.

After stabilizing the simulation, Huo Yuhao continued to approach the center of the wolf pack.

This is……

On the cliff, Huo Yuhao carefully squeezed next to a thousand-year-old golden wolf and looked towards the center of the battlefield in the valley below.

In the valley, there was a strange vine soul beast lurking, relying on vines to constantly resist the bites of the golden wolves.

Although it had the advantage of cultivation, the unknown vine soul beast would find opportunities to strangle the golden wolf from time to time. However, every time this happened, the three golden wolf kings that were raiding the formation would always be able to release golden light blades in time to cut the vines, and the golden wolves on the periphery would take its place.

As expected of a social animal, even hunting is so well organized.

But this guy also deserves credit for this.

Huo Yuhao shifted his gaze to the silver figure higher up.

The golden sunlight shines on each other, emitting colorful light, making them look very handsome.

There are three golden wolf kings plus this silver wolf king. It seems that the guy in front of him is the fourth soul ring that should have belonged to Huo Gua.

Huo Gua's fourth soul skill is mental confusion, a single-target controlled attack. If the mental power is less than one-third of Huo Gua's, the person will fall into a state of frenzy and will not be able to distinguish between friend and foe. Otherwise, the person will suffer mental damage caused by the burning of mental power and will be dizzy.

It has a very mysterious description, but it has inexplicably become Huo Gua's strongest single-target control soul skill.

Leaving aside the enemies and friends in the berserk state, if their mental power is less than one-third of Huo Yuhao's, Huo Yuhao can directly knock them out with normal mental shocks, and the consumption is lower than that of a ten thousand year soul ring.

As for the effect of burning mental power, its meaning is also unclear, especially the actual effect of the mental confusion later on, which is to summon a vortex above the target's head and suck in the target's soul.

I don’t know if it’s because of the reading time or the change due to the increase in age.

But now that Huo Yuhao has the soul skill of controlling mental attributes, the absolute superior one is Soul Freeze. Taking this soul ring does not increase Huo Yuhao's combat power limit.

Although Huo Yuhao did not need the soul rings of these two soul beasts, it was the first time for Huo Yuhao to see soul beast hunting. Who could refuse the joy of fighting crickets?

"This vine whose name is unknown is about to lose."

Looking at the vines whose living space was constantly being squeezed by the golden wolves, Huo Yuhao seemed to have seen the final result.

After all, the golden wolves act in a group, and there are three ten-thousand-year-old golden wolf kings in support, and there is also the Silver Moon Wolf King, who, in the opinion of "Huo Gua", even an ordinary Soul Douluo may not be able to take down, as the finale. It can be said that the defeat of this vine-type soul beast was already doomed.

The reason they were able to hold out for so long was because the plants had strong vitality and continued to grow vines to resist the wolves' attacks, but they would eventually run out of energy.

"Ouch~!"

Suddenly, the Silver Moon Wolf King standing on the high cliff let out a sharp wolf howl, and then the golden wolves below instantly turned into birds and beasts and scattered as if they had received an order.

Huo Yuhao took a closer look and discovered that the plant-type soul beasts in the valley seemed to have used their trump cards. Gorgeous flowers bloomed on the vines, and strange white smoke spread in the valley.

Several slow-running golden wolves in the center of the battlefield were covered by the white mist and fell to the ground silently without any struggle. Even the Golden Wolf King on the outskirts of the battlefield retreated a few steps and glanced at the white mist in front of him with a vigilant look.

"Is this...poison?"
